Ilustration To Books A Rake's Vow (Cynster #2)
He vowed never to marry.She vowed no man would trap her.
But some vows are meant to be broken...
Vane Cynster greatly enjoys his dalliances, but he's always remained aloof when other Cynster men stepped up to the altar. Resolved to never submit to being leg-shackled to any woman, he believes hes found the ideal temporary refuge from London's infuriating husband hunters at Bellamy Hall. But an encounter with irresistible Patience Debbington has his head—and his heart—spinning...and soon he has more than mere seduction on his mind.
But Patience is not about to succumb to arrogant, presumptuous Vane's sensuous propositions. Certainly his kisses leave her weak, and his caresses leave her flushed and burning with desire. But he is bound to be unfaithful—just like every other man—and despite his assurances, she will not trust the handsome, elegant rogue with her heart.
But can a promise to resist temptation stand firm when passion demands otherwise?

I have a new favorite historical romance series!!This would have been a 4.5 star if not for the heroine.I love it when a rake falls in love because they tend to fall the hardest!!I enjoyed Vane Cynster but was not a fan of the heroine, Patience. She was naive and her actions were unbelievable. Her mother was head over heels in love with her father, to his embarrassment and always bragged about him being an "elegant gentleman". Well her father was a cheating, gambling, drinking, womanizer thatAuthor: Stephanie LaurensFirst published: 1998Length: 374 pagesSetting: Northamptonshire, 1819 (Regency).Sex: Frequent. Very explicit (erotic).Heroine: 26yo. Father was a rake who's apparent disregard hurt her mother deeply.With Vane more Beta Male than Devil's Alpha, A Rake's Vow takes on the hallmarks of a Cozy Mystery (with sex). Amateur detective Vane uses his native intelligence and "instinctive intuition" to solve a light mystery in the insular, eccentric community. Laurens comfortably
Patience is a girl. Vane is a dude. He sees her in the garden of his godmother's house and decides he must ~do her and good. Because of the Curse of the Cynsters (or something), he realizes that she's going to have to also be his wife. She says no. They argue and have Really Awkwardly Intense Sex that seems to imply that Vane can shake the very foundations of the earth by wielding his Manly Wang.Here's the thing: I'm not sure Laurens meant for this series to be as ridiculously humorous as it is,
Great book, but not one of my favorites in the series.
3.75 'Rake' StarsAgain, a very enjoyable read, apart from their constant reference to his 'rakish ways', and how many women he bedded. Yes, I know, in this time, it's normal, and the title said it all, but there was no need to be mentioned basically in every page... Another point was him considering making her his mistress, that didn't sit quite well with me. But major points for Vane for, unlike his cousin, the Devil, revealing the depth of his feeling and truly professing his love and devotion
3.5 stars. I like these early ones best. This one gets re-read a lot because I actually own it.
Patience's father was a "Gentleman". The kind of Gentleman that marries, gets his wife pregnant and stashes her in the country while he goes about and enjoys the good life in London. Patience's mother loved her father and made excuses for his absences. No wonder that Patience doesn't have a very good opinion of marriage or Gentlemen either. But, she does have a younger brother, Gerrard, and at 17, she is determined that he not grow up to be the "Gentleman" his father was.Vane Cynster finds
