“Scandal’s Bride” Scandals Bride (step back)Ĭame next and it sort of gave me hope and determination to continue with this series (I mean, now I just had to read them…I invested almost $70, right?). I skipped most of the book as it was just too predictable and sooooo slow. The third installment, “A Rake’s Vow” left me scratching my head. I’m here to tell you I liked the prequel much better. From there I went to the next one, “Devil’s Bride”. Well, that one certainly wet my appetite. I started reading with book #8 (or a Special Christmas Edition) “The Promise in a Kiss” as it tells the story of Devil’s parents Sebastian and Helena. As DB comes so highly recommended, I just naturally had to have it and so I stopped by my local Borders, and BINGO! They had it, and upon getting home I went to work in putting them all in order.
