Relation Concering Books The Promise in a Kiss (Cynster #0.5)

What would you do if you were kissed by the most handsome stranger you'd ever seen? And what if that man was a Cynster?

Every girl--even convent-educated ones--dreams of forbidden kisses. So when a man literally falls at Helena's feet as she's walking through the courtyard one moonlit Christmas Eve, the pretty, young comtesse d'Lisle knows he's up to no good. He's clearly a bit dangerous... and obviously caught in the middle of a clandestine rendezvous. Why else would he have risked his neck and jumped out of a window into the snow?

It's wrong, it's outlandish . . . and it's the most utterly romantic gesture she's ever seen. So when the good sisters rush up, demanding to know if she has seen a man on the grounds, Helena ignores the years of strict upbringing that insist she reveal his presence.

To lie would be a sin, but no one can be good all the time.

As a reward for her silence, the stranger takes her in his arms and enticingly, unforgettably kisses her--and then departs, leaving a lingering if unspoken promise of all that might be, should fate decree that they meet again. Although Helena doesn't know it, her wild Englishman is Sebastian Cynster, Duke of St. Ives, a nobleman who will prove to be her destiny.

Seven years later, Helena has been transformed from a pretty schoolgirl to an aristocratic beauty. Her sparkling wit has made her sought after by London's hostesses; her considerable dowry has made winning her hand the aim of many a gentleman . . . but she is deadeningly aware of how boring so many of these gentlemen are.

Her manipulative guardian has unexpectedly allowed her to find a husband of her own choosing, and she has no intention of marrying any man who tries to tame her. There must be someone perfect for her . . . someone who can live up to the promise of that long-ago kiss.

Then, at a ball, fate strikes. Once again, it is the Christmas season, and across the crowded room Helena stands transfixed . . . for there is the man whose kiss she has never forgotten, the man of her memory whom no other has ever been able to supplant. Her wild, mysterious Englishman, Sebastian Cynster, Duke of St. Ives.

One look, and he's determined to reclaim her . . . .

Piece Appertaining To Books The Promise in a Kiss (Cynster #0.5)

I really liked this story. A young girl, convent-educated, forbidden kisses from a handsome stranger. Who would not like this romance. The handsome young English man in question is Sebastian Cynster, Duke of St. Ives. Our young girl is, Helena, comtesse d'Lisle. And like all good romances the question in the readers mind is will fate decree that they meet again? Seven years later, Helena has been transformed from a pretty schoolgirl to an aristocratic beauty. Her sparkling wit has made her

Reviewed for THC Reviews"3.5 stars" I had previously read only one novella by Stephanie Laurens quite a while ago, but I absolutely loved it. Consequently, I've been looking forward to trying one of her full-length novels for a long time. Unfortunately, The Promise in a Kiss left me feeling somewhat disappointed. Even though it's been a while since I read it, I seem to recall that novella being vibrant, sensual, and engaging, but this book was slow, sometimes confusing, and didn't really hold my

I'd read this years ago, but somehow, fictfact.com has this listed as both .5 and 7.5 in the series. I wasn't paying attention, and I just requested the next book from my library. As I'm already up to book 17 in the series, I'm well aware of what happens after they marry. I find it interesting that no mention of Richard is made in the Epilogue, that's supposed to chronicle the first few years of the marriage. Kind of an important thing to leave out, don't you think?I have no issues with the

Ok, I made the super huge mistake of reading this as my first Cynster novel because, you know, it was about the parents and I have a total ocd when it comes of cronological order in a series. Then, while I was reading, I found out that some years later the HEA the hero cheats on the heroine. Well ok, i didn't like it but I have an open mind, shit can happen, apparently it was a one night stand sort of thing done out of pity (yeah.... Uhmmm) and then they were happy and in love till death. And

Review - What I really loved about The Promise in a Kiss is that it told the story of Helena and Sebatian, 5th Duke of St Ives. Helena has been a character who has constantly intrigued me throughout the rest of the Cynster series, so I was really glad that her story was told, and that we found out more about Devil's father, who we don't really know much about. Another almost perfect Regency romance from Stephanie Laurens. What I felt could have been improved was that the acute danger that Helena

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. What I liked best about it was that the hero and heroine were equals and viewed each other as such. They matched in pedigree and wealth, but more importantly in attitude. This wasn't some girl being feisty to the indulgence of a suitor. It wasn't some blue stocking drawn into the limelight and made fashionable by a man's interest. It wasn't some eccentric who is adorable being discovered. This was acknowledgement and recognition of equals between equals. I've read

OH MY WORD. OH MY WORD. OH.MY.WOOOOOOORD!!!!! I actually thought I was going to die when I read this book. Although not my favourite HR/BR ever, it has probably now just become my second or third!! oh my goodness, I don't even know, it was too amazing -.- I can't speak...or breathe XD okay, I genuinely think that the easiest way for me to do this without either screaming everything - or dying - will be just to simply rate each aspect of this unbeatable book. (btw: Stephanie Laurens is my h.e.r.o
