" I liked this book better than Vane's. Richard and Catronia's relationship, I felt, was a lot more developed. I especially enjoyed the rest of the Cynster's showing up. A very enjoyable read. "

" i'm thinking i need to read all of her books. "
— Shalon, 1/30/2014 -
" Pretty good read. It was a nice change from the expected "Ton Setting" you'd expect with the Cynsters. I'm a big fan of the Cynster Series over all. "
— Lisa, 1/26/2014 -
" Hated the first half; loved the second half. Ergo 3 stars. The family is everything in some of these books. "
— Barbara, 1/11/2014 -
" The heroine spends the book talking about "The Lady" the goddess she worships. It was really annoying. "
— DemetraP, 1/10/2014 -
" The romance of a witchy woman and the illegitimate Cynster. An enjoyable escape read. I like that Lauren's books end not with a kiss or marriage but with a meeting of the souls. "

" This was a surprisingly sensual read in comparison to the first two books. I liked Richard and Catriona and thought that their situation was a bit unique. Looking foward to picking up the next Cynster. "

" Another classic. I love that there is a mystery in every book. "
— Irene, 12/12/2012 -
" Scandal is great to read. With another fiesty heroine and gorgeous male. "
— Suzan, 9/8/2012 -
" In general, I read Laurens' Cynster novels when I'm particularly hard up for a fluff romance read, but the sheer ridiculousness of this one (witches of Scottish vales!) makes this one a particularly borderline read. "
— Joy, 7/18/2012 -

" Although I do find myself skimming over the gratuitous sex scenes in Laurens work, she can tell a tale. And this particular couple is nontraditional enough to add a little spice to the genre. "
— Deborah, 11/20/2011 -

" I think I like Scandal best of the Cynster men - so far. I liked that Catroina was able to continue with her role in the vale and that the hero supported her - but didn't take over. Or tell her she was doing things wrong. They formed a partnership. "
— Janna, 2/7/2010 -
" the only one of the series that I did not like "
