Book Reviews of The Perfect Lover (Cynster series)
Book Review: Rated X
Summary: 2 Stars
Stephanie Laurens' newest Cynster book "The Perfect Lover" has nothing "perfect" about it. While I've enjoyed her previous novels (especially Devil's Bride and A Rake's Vow), this one leaves a lot to de desired. The story is about the "last unmarried male Cynster of his generation" Simon, who suddenly realizes that he is getting older and hasn't achieved anything in life. He decides to find a wife, and fill his recently inherited estate with children. Enter Portia Ashford, his brother in law's Luc sister, who "surprise surprise" has decided she wants children too. What follows are a large number of very explicit sex scenes, a semi mystery, more sex, endless pages describing the characters thoughts, more sex, and so on...If you want to read about sex, sex and more sex, this is for you, but if you are looking for a love story skip this one. There was no romance whatsoever, all Portia and Simon did was enjoy eachother's bodies, quite thoroughly.
Book Review: Slow for Laurens
Summary: 3 Stars
Being a big fan of Stephanie Laurens, I was really looking forward to reading this book. However, this is one of her less-than-readable books. Although well-written, the dialogue is completely lacking, and the never-ending, intellectual musings of the lead characters drags out a tale with no discernable plot. Overall, it just is not a very lively story, and if you are willing to skim over large parts where the characters are thinking way too much to get to the pretty decent sex parts, then you may enjoy this addition to the Cynster series.Book Review: The Best One Yet
Summary: 5 Stars
Of all the Cynster novels this one is my favorite (so far). I remember thinking about Simon and Portia getting together when their brother and sister married and what an interesting story it would make - that's my favorite thing about the Cynster novels favorite characters make "guest" appearances and you get to meet them again. It's the only thing I wished had been part of this novel. The story flows well and I really like how Portia takes control - read it you won't regret it!Book Review: The Perfect Bore
Summary: 1 Stars
I have all of the Bar Cynster books. I was excited when I saw this on the newsstand, but very disappointed in the book itself. I would compare this book to a pornographic movie that has no plot just mindless, boring sex. There was no romance here, just graphic repeated sex. Not even real love demonstrated. The plot was good but it was constantly upstaged by the sex that seems a little farfetched to believe that Portia's reputation was not ruined by her behavior. I lost all respect for both Portia and Simon.Book Review: The Perfect Lover
Summary: 4 Stars
I actually thought this book was really interesting, and the background story going on was fun too. I thought with every encounter with Simon and Lauren just made the sexual tension between them steamier and steamier. Yes, there were parts that I skipped, but I feel like Laurens does that in most of her books = putting way too much detail, or going off topic into something else, or describing someone's thoughts a million times. It certainly wasn't the best book by her I read, but it was NOT the worst.
