I have read stephanie laurens first book in the cynster series the 'Devils Bride'.Although many people seem to love this series i cant connect with a hero who is named Devil whose cousins are named Scandal,Vain and Demon.There was no verbal sparring or humor so the story was quiet flat IMO.I once read a book with a hero named Harry Pye!i mean seriously lolz...i like heros who have sexy manly names like Clayton,Jordan,Alexander etc.....Devil was find but no Scandal or Vain.
