"Stephanie Laurens has created a whole family of elegant Regency rakes in her Bar Cynster series." B. Dalton Heart to Heart "I for one will not miss the downfall of each and every autocratic Cynster male!" Heartland Critiques "Sure to be a classic romance series." The Internet Writing Journal ABOUT THE CYNSTERS The contrast of gracious and elegant manners forming a wafer-thin facade over strong and dominant male emotions such as possessiveness and protectiveness is a constant throughout all the Cynster books. The affinity of such warrior males for strong willed women and the ability of their chosen ladies to exact complete and unswerving commitment to themselves, to marriage, and to family, forms the central tenet of the series. The first six Cynster books deal with the stories of the six cousins known to the ton as the Bar Cynster. Subsequent books deal with other members of the Cynster family, extended family, and close friends. REGENCY-ERA HISTORICALS or Historicals set in the Regency, are both longer than traditional Regencies and involve plot elements beyond the social mores/comedy of manners elements that are the hallmark of any romance set in the Regency. Stephanie's Regency-era Historicals contain adventure and/or mystery elements, often both, played out against the visually-, dramatically- and emotionally-rich background of the Regency. All her Regency-era Historicals are long, more than 120,000 words, and thus far have all been published via Avon Books in North America. They are generally available throughout the English-speaking world, via stockists who import Avon Romances. Individual titles are gradually being released in German, Russian and other languages.
