All About Love (Cynster, #6)
Stephanie Laurens
Alasdair Cynster known to his intimates as Lucifer decides to rusticate in the country before the matchmaking skills of London′s mamas become firmly focused on him, the last unwed Cynster. But an escape to Devonshire leads him straight to his destiny in the irresistible form of Phyllida Tallent, a willful, independent beauty of means who brings all his masterful Cynster instincts rioting to the fore. Lucifer isn′t about to deny his desire for Phyllida, and he′s determined to use all his seductive skills to enjoy the benefits of destiny′s choice without submitting to the parson′s noose. Phyllida has had a bevy of suitors, her charm and wit are well known throughout the countryside, but none of them has tempted her the way Lucifer does. His offer to teach her all about the ways of love is almost too tantalising to resist. And though she′s not yet completely surrendered, she knows only a fool stands against a Cynster...and Phyllida is no one′s fool.

Lucifer is the last of the Bar Cynster that hasn’t fallen to matrimony, so he flees. He heads to Devon to visit an old mentor. When he arrives he discovers his mentor has been murdered. He teams up with a capable woman, Phyllida, to solve the crime.
I love the Cynster series and always expect to love a Cynster book. This book met my expectations! I love that Lucifer is running from love and falls for the woman who has also managed to avoid matrimony. He does not dare ask her to marry him until he is sure he won’t have to convince her to do so. Phyllida is a great heroine, because she knows exactly what she wants. The men in her life have always been subpar, so when she meets Lucifer she is thrown, because he is the first man who has been able to “manage” her. (She has successfully managed everyone in her life!) As a result of this, their love story does not follow the standard path of other romance novels. I love this series and I am so glad someone recommended it to me!
