    Love Stephanie’s book, have seen ehr twice on her whirlwind visits through Ohio. I’ve got my pre-order in and am waiting not too patiently for the new quartet. BTW, I have the audio tapes of Devil’s Bride and most of the others. I love listening to them, too.

  28. Kit Donner says:

  30. PhyllisC says:

    Congratulations on the new series! I can’t wait to read these books. I love your stories and I really love series books. I would love to win! This would make a great birthday gift to me. :-D

  31. Lisa says:

    I am soo excited for this new series! I wanted it to be out months ago, but alas we have all had to patiently wait. What I love about Laurens is that even in her little sneak peek into the series, you dive right in and get caught up in it. Her books truly are escape fiction and wonderful. Congrats to Stephanie for what I’m sure will be another knockout seeling series :D

  32. Nancy says:

    I can’t wait for 10/27! Besides loving Stephanie’s books, I’m looking forward to catching glimpses of Dalziel, whom I fell in love with in the Bastion Club books.

  33. Karen H in NC says:

    Here’s Karen in the corner, jumping up and down, hollering “PICK ME, PICK ME!” LOL

    Seriously folks, I so want this book (and I am not alone in that wish, am I?) Stephanie is one of favorite authors. From what I’ve read about this book, we are in for a rousing good time and some of the Cynsters and the Bastion Boys will be back.

    I wanted to mention something that caught my attention when I was reading the excerpt from this new book. The heroine’s last name is Duncannon. I am reading ‘Beware a Scot’s Revenge’ by Sabrina Jeffries right now and Duncannon is the heroine’s father is the Earl of Duncannon. I just thought it unusual that the same name would appear in books written by different authors about 2 years apart. I’ve never run across that before and wondered if there are other books out there where this has happened?

  34. Giuseppina says:

    I know I’m repeating the sentiments of others, but I can’t wait for this book to come out. I have a been a fan of Stephanie’s for years. I’m really looking forward to meeting her new characters and seeing what unfolds.

  35. Kelly says:

    I’m just now wrapping up reading the last of the Bastion Club series. I love how she intersperses characters from past books – it’s almost like getting micro-epilogues so that you can see what your old favorite characters are up to without distracting from the current story. I can hardly wait to see what she does, shifting the focus to the BEI Company!

  36. Mimi Wolske says:

    I love the passionate writing of all Stepahnie Laurens’ books and I’m positive her new series will top the charts and draw her readers in with the very first sentence. No one can describe a kiss or the emotions of passion like she can.

    Hey, I sure would like a chance to win. Please enter my name in the drawing.

    Thanks.

  37. Kayla J. says:

    I cannot wait to get my hands on this book!!!

  38. Robin Greene says:

  43. I’ve been looking forward to this one and the launch of Ms. Laurens’s new series.

  44. I can’t wait to get my hands on this one! MASTERED BY LOVE was absolutely fabulous! It went immediately onto my keeper shelf. The Untamed Bride promises to be another SL “keepable” read.

    And PJ, I am SO jealous you have already read it!!

    I got to meet Stephanie in Birmingham, Alabama at a book signing and she is one classy lady.

    Another Stephanie Laurens series to love. YAY !!!

    I read all the Bastion Club books and a few others as well and now need to get into all the others she has written. I cannot wait for this book though since I have her latest Cynster to read at the moment by my bed.
