She vowed no man would catch her:
Patience wasn't about to succumb to Vane's sensuous propositions. Yes, his kisses left her dizzy; his caresses made her melt; but he was arrogant, presumptuous...and, despite his protests, bound to be unfaithful, just like every other man. Patience had promised herself that she'd never become vulnerable to a broken heart. But was this one vow that was meant to be broken?

"Readers will swear that the second 'Cynster' Regency romance, A RAKE'S VOW, is one of the sub-genre's top novels of the year. The storyline is whimsical yet filled with intrigue and romance. The lead protagonists are a delightfully daring duo who challenge much of propriety as they find love with one another. After reading this novel and its predecessor, DEVIL'S BRIDE, fans will be clamoring for more stories to quickly fall from the Bar Cynster family tree."
Harriet Klausner, Coordinator of Romance Reviews, Affaire de Coeur (posted on Amazon.com)

"A true rake must be powerfully, dangerously attractive to women. That definitions doesn't begin to describe the allure of the unattached men of the Cynster family, one of the most charming, reckless bands of Regency rakes to grace the pages of recent romantic fiction."
B.Dalton's Heart to Heart

"I loved this book! A RAKE'S VOW, like DEVIL'S BRIDE, is one of the very best reads of the year. Do yourself a favor -- don't miss it!"
The Old Book Barn Gazette "The Cynsters are back, and it's time for Vane Cynster to meet his match in a woman as independent and spirited as he. Here is another delightful, sensual, irresistible romance from one of the freshest voices of the genre. With plenty of excitement, romance and charming characters, A RAKE'S VOW is a certain keeper. 4½ stars Exceptional, A TOP PICK"
Romantic Times

"To this second book in her Bar Cynster series, Stephanie Laurens brings a thorough command of Regency style as well as graphic uninhibited love scenes. Laurens is especially skillful at capturing Regency males, aristocrats whose refined restraint barely masks their powerful underlying urges. Appearances by others of the extended, devoted Cynster family ensures readers will become increasingly attached to this ongoing series."

"This scrumptious romance whets the appetite for more of these tasty and delicious Cynster men, and the equally appealing women who teach them about love."
