Summary: Was Just an OK read
Comment: Not the kind you want to read again. If you get past the sex, the story was good. Most of Ms. Laurens books are usually filled with wonderful romance and story...but this one starts with a zest, but it gets dull quick, and I was speed-reading over the sex.. To get to the story. I hate that in a book..sex is fine, but not 75% of the book. It is almost a sexual guidebook.
You have such talent Ms. Laurins, you do not have to fluff your books with sex to sell them..They sell on their very own with your name and wonderful talent....

Summary: Where's the "old" Stephanie?
Comment: Stephanie Laurens is usually one of those authors that I buy without even reading the back of the book!!! I have to say that I am terribly disappointed with the last few books she has written!!! I keep buying them thinking that she is just going through a "funk" but, I'm sorry to say, I feel that she has "lost it"!!! I bought this one (On A Wild Night) and, of course its "twin", (On A Wicked Dawn), and all I kept thinking about was: "When were they going to stop having sex and tell a story"? Now, I am definitely NOT a prude! I like a great sex scene the same as the next gal, but, I also need a great story to go with it!! I never felt like there was any plot. I never felt like they were in love. I found I didn't even care what happened to them!!! I did finish both books, and usually I'm sad when I finish a book, but I was just kind of glad when they were over. I also felt this way about "The Secret Lover"!! I bought a brand new hardcover (BIG BUCKS) and couldn't wait to get home to read it! What a let-down!!! Needless to say, I am hesitant to buy the new Bastion series!! I guess I'll be reading the backs of the books -- and the reviews -- from now on!!! Sorry, Stephanie!!! I'll keep hoping for the future!!

Summary: manipulative and tedious
Comment: Normally I would not feel compelled to add to the 62 reviews already written but some are deceptively glowing and that's why I decided to try Laurens again (the previous book I'd read also left me cold, but this one was worse). This is 400 + pages devoted to the story of a spoiled brat manipulating a man into telling her he loves her. The hero, who has no emotional depth, demonstrates his feelings, overcoming his solitary, society-shunning bachelor ways which are poorly justified, and admits his willingness to marry the heroine (why, I don't know, she's completely self-centered) in the first 3rd of the book, leaving more than half of the book devoted to manipulating the actual words 'I love you' out of his mouth, which at this point is a foregone conclusion to the reader and the heroine, who knows he loves her but absolutely has to hear it. I read a lot of romances, and repetitive plot lines aren't a problem to genre-afficionados as long as they are emotionally compelling. But there was no emotional reality, so all the same old plot twists we've all seen a thousand times left me feeling used. There are great descriptions of lots of raunchy and completely anachronistic sex (as another reviewer pointed out, no unmarried lady in the 1820's can just regularly spend the night at a man's house), so if that's all you want from a romance novel, go for it. Otherwise, don't waste your time.
