On a Wild Night

By: Stephanie Laurens

Narrated by: Simon Prebble

Where are all the exciting men in London?

After spending years in the glittering ballrooms of the ton, Amanda Cynster is utterly bored by the current crop of colorless suitors. Determined to take matters into her own hands, one night she shockingly goes where no respectable lady ever should, but where many an intriguing gentleman might be found.

But titillating excitement quickly turns to panic when Amanda discovers she's quite out of her depth. She looks around for help—and is unexpectedly rescued by the Earl of Dexter. Lean, sensuous, and mysterious, he has delayed re-entering society, preferring instead a more interesting existence on its fringes.

He's the epitome of the boldly passionate gentleman Amanda has been searching for, but although his very touch makes it clear he's willing to educate her in the art of love, Amanda has to wonder if such a masterful, lionized rake can be sufficiently tamed into the ways of marriage.

Critic reviews

"Readers will relish Laurens' spunky heroine and sizzling love scenes." (Publishers Weekly)

Stephanie Laurens along with Simon Prebble delivered another great novel.

I loved the story of the strong minded Amanda Cynster and her strong willed Martin. She took control of her future by chasing him until he caught her. Stephanie throws in romance, intrigue and adventure. Simon Prebble has the voice and reads the stories as if they are his own and takes you into them as if you were there. I do think the sexual interludes could be reduced a bit but It is her story to tell and I give her accolades for it. Can't wait to read what Amelia does to get her mate.

EXCELLENT

I loved the characters, the story & the narrator, who is excellent in all the books I have listened to by him! The only thing that could have improved this book, for me, is by making the too many sex scenes shorter would have made the book considerably shorter. I fast forwarded through the later ones because they were so repetitive. But overall Excellent book!! Thank you for the EXCELLENT listen.

Loved it

This book and "On a Wicked Dawn" are two of my favorites from the Cynster series by Stephanie Laurens. This is not your typical "A rake takes a simpering virgin to bed" type romance. Amanda is a mature woman with good brains in her head and Martin's character is sexy but believable.

Fun read for the Cynister series

Enjoyed this almost as much as the previous stories, and better than the story about Vane.

"Historical" Romance...it was SO LONG

Is there anything you would change about this book?

Edit, edit, edit! It was a good story but could have told in fewer words.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Amanda as her high spirit is admirable. A great secondary character is the mature Lady (eldest) in charge of 'society' - her name escapes me as I read this a while ago but she is a hoot.

Have you listened to any of Simon Prebble’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

N/A

Was On a Wild Night worth the listening time?

No, it was too drawn out for the story.

Any additional comments?

I really enjoyed this book, the characters were developed and the story lines interesting, it just could have used a better edit.
