I enjoy these books, takes you back to a time of respect and challenge in life. I've read 7 and im still going to read the rest. I like the way she writes..if only men like that existed..! I love the idea of the dresses and the music and the dancing..and nothing is better than a strong willed heroine. I love all the secretiveness and the playing between the main charachters
This book is not even close to being the best book in the Cynster series. The characters are wishy-washy and the story line is jumbled. I didn't really enjoy the ending, and think that Stephanie Laurens could have done a far better job. Some of the Cynster series are really good reads, but unfortunately, she doesn't deliver on this one.

Stephanie Laurens is beginning to lose her touch-the last couple of books she's written have been bad! However, this is one of her earlier efforts which isn't so bad as some others but not as good as the earlier tales of the Cynster family. Its lot lots os sex and is rather brief on story. Nevertheless the two main characters are good so this is a reasonable read
In 1825 England twins Amanda and Amelia Cynster discuss the hopelessness of finding a worthy male to love for a lifetime as no one in their circle measure up to the high bar set by their relatives, the six Bar Cynster brood. The siblings agree to never lower their standard even if it means a spinster's life. They also concur that they must widen their horizons. Amanda will venture into the shadows while Amelia will journey beneath the lights of the chandeliers.
Amanda begins her hunt at Mellors a popular but dangerous gaming hole and an unacceptable place for an unchaperoned unmarried woman. She meets Lord Martin Fulbridge back in England after a decade of exile because his father refused to believe he did not commit a murder. Martin protects Amanda, and soon they share sex. He offers to do the honorable thing, but she rejects his marriage proposal, as she will only wed for love.
ON A WILD NIGHT is an engaging Cynster tale starring a wonderful couple whose repertoire is amusing and sensual. Though Amanda's quest seems inappropriate for her class in that era, fans will enjoy her exploits. The story line is fun to follow due to the dueling duet. A subplot in which the amateur sleuths try to solve the decade old murder ties back to the prime romantic theme though historical mystery readers will not relish the rapid resolution of the case. Stephanie Laurens provides her audience with a strong tale that leaves fans anxiously awaiting Amelia's trek to find the light of love.
After years of looking for the right husband in the right places under the watchful eyes of her older cousins, Amanda decides to look for Mr Right in all the wrong places. Surprisingly she finds him...now all thats left is for her to convinve him that she is his Miss Right
