Average Rating: Rating: - The same book over and over and over I won't describe the plot since others have done that well. Rather I have a question: Is it just me or is it true that every Cynster male in every Cynster book (with the exception of Scandal's Bride) is exactly the same man? Moreover, the tension in every relationship in these books revolves around the man's refusal to say "I love you" and the woman's refusal to marry until he does so. And then of course there is the requisite attempted or actual murder or some mystery to solve. By the time I read this book, I felt like saying 'Enough already! Come up with a new problem for the men or make the woman fearful of saying the words or...well, something, anything...this is getting really boring!" If I had not read the previous books, I would have enjoyed this book more, but since it is one in a long series, the lack of diversity in male character development was glaring. Moreover, I never felt that we "knew" Amanda ' her entire goal from beginning to end was to marry a man just like her male cousins ' this does not suffice for an entire character in a book of this length. Her ability to mislead her parents, or rather the lack of parental involvement in her life, seems a little unlikely in this time period. The couple's ability to find empty rooms for sex or to slip away to Martin's home for sexual assignations also seemed unbelievable. The scene I found most hard to believe was the swing scene in someone's conservatory while Amanda's male cousins guarded the room from the outside. If they are SO protective, why are they not only complacent about her premarital sexual escapades, but actually assist in the assignations? ( I just did not buy the argument that they did so to further Martin's courtship, for crying out loud just tell the guy he needs to say "I love you.".) Please, Ms. Laurens, devise some new male characters. Rating: - Great fluff! I have enjoyed each of the Cynster novels, and "On a Wild Night" delivered every bit as much as the others. I'm not sure what some other the other reviewers were expecting, but when I read a romance--especially historical romance--I expect some light escapist reading, and this is exactly what you get with Amanda Cynster's story. Laurens primed readers for Amanda's (and Amelia's) story in the previous Cynster books. The twins both decide it's time to make their match, and each devise a plan for achieving that goal. Amanda decides to search the places young misses are never allowed to go. And while this is not realistic, it is truly entertaining how Amanda manipulates Martin, Earl of Dexter, into courting her. I loved this book, and I look forward to Amelia's story. Rating: - SHOULD HAVE WAITED I must say that I enjoyed all of the Bar Cynster series, but this book could have used more depth and have the heroine not so focus on getting your man, after a while that seem to be the whole story. I started reading the set of books about The Twins, Amanda and Amelia and 3 weeks later I am still read- ing these books. Should have waited until you could have put more of a story line in it.
