More About the Author

"Romance the way it was meant to be," raves Kathe Robin of Romantic Times Magazine about Cynthia Wright's 13 "classic" historical romances.
A reader says: "Her warm, adventurous, loving stories match Kathleen Woodiwiss in sensuality, but have a wholesome sweetness and zest all their own."

Cynthia Wright launched her career as a bestselling novelist with the publication of CAROLINE, when she was twenty-three. She went on to write 12 more beloved and acclaimed historical romances set in Colonial America, Regency England & America, Medieval England & France, and the American West. Seven of these, the intertwined Raveneau Novels and Beauvisage Novels, have special places on the keeper shelves of readers around the world.

Cynthia's novels have won many awards from Romantic Times and Affaire de Coeur, but her favorites are messages from readers like this one: "Your books show love the way you want your own relationship to be: real AND romantic!" After taking a break from writing for several years, Cynthia is excited to be back as an "indie" author, bringing all 13 of her novels back as eBooks (newly edited, with gorgeous new covers!). She will also release a new Raveneau novel, TEMPEST, in 2012.

Today, Cynthia lives in northern California with her husband, Alvaro, in a 1930's Spanish cottage. When they aren't riding their tandem road bike or traveling in their 1959 vintage airstream, she loves spending time with her family, especially her two young grandsons. Cynthia is also a college student who says, "It's never too late to re-write the story of your own life!"

5.0 out of 5 stars The Complete Package, February 15, 2011

This review is from: Spring Fires (Mass Market Paperback)

I read "You and No Other" and thoroughly enjoyed it. I ordered the other 12 and am awaiting receipt also of "Crimson Intrigue" written by her under the pseudonyn Devon Lindsay. Devon Lindsay by the way was the feisty heroine in Silver Storm. I have four more books written by this author to read and I can't wait to read them and see if they are as good as the other nine. I suggest that you read them in order to enhance your enjoyment. I like this author's writing style: her word usage is so descriptive that you feel you are a "fly on the wall".

I loved this one in particular because she updates you on the lives of characters from previous books. The central character, Nicholi Beauviage is too charming mand so self-assured. His quick wit is of stuff to remember. The heroine, Lisette is a strong women and not afraid to take risks after sensing the depth of love they could behold. I wanted to continue to read on and on. I sighed when I finished. I'm an incurable romantic so what can I say.

Ms. Wright has a style similar to Kathleen Woodiwiss of which I was a great fan! I know Ms. Wright is not writing anymore, but I would sure like to have read "Tempest" which she stated she had begun when "Barbados" was published.

Sighhhh, Nicholai Beauvisage....Now there's a man! I'm terrible at writing reviews, but these novels of Family Beauvisage need to be read! Lisette and her insecurities almost ruin her opportunity for true love and passion with this delicious man! Wouldn't we all want to marry a Beauvisage??

Cynthia Wright continues to succeed with her great writing, her details of the revolutionary period (which I learned more about from her books, then I did in school!) and the characters that become like family! I'm so glad we get to visit them in each book.

This review is from: Spring Fires (The Beauvisage Novels, Book 3) (Kindle Edition)

Nicholai Beauvisage returns to his family in Philadelphia after escaping death during the French Revolution. He had been gone for 10 long years. Lisette Hahn is the proud independent woman who runs the Hahn Coffeehouse where meetings of Political Figures meet. Nicholai & Lisette meet and develop a bizarre relationship. As their relationship is growing, Nicholai received news that drives them apart.

Other characters from previous books appear and you will be updated on their lives (ie. Caro, Alec, Lion & Meagan-my favs)

Ms. Wright weaves a great story & continues her tapestry of historical romance which takes you from Philadelphia to London.

A Great Story! Don't miss this romance of "Nicky" & "Lisette".
