Summary: Dare You Discover the Dark Side of Damian?
Review: GENTLE FROM THE NIGHT kept me up until 2 am reading. I'm embarrassed to say I was pretty dang spooked, too, and didn't even want to turn off the lights. I can't believe a romance novel scared me!
GENTLE FROM THE NIGHT is my first gothic romance, and I rather enjoyed it. I'll definitely be re-reading it. The author's writing style is clean and creative, and I found her characters to be compelling, especially the dastardly hero, Damian. He was definitely drawn to the "dark side" of life - and I have to admit, I liked him all the more for it.
This dark story revolves around Alexandra, a Jewess who is hired to care for Damian's idiot brother, Samuel, in attempt to make Samuel speak. You see, Samuel has been struck silent by fear - fear of a woman whose evil still haunts both Samuel and his cold-hearted brother Damian.
What I liked most about this book was its suspense. As in: Is Ursula a ghost? Is Damian crazy? Who is trying to hurt Alexandra? And when will Damian and Alexandra finally hook up?
What I liked least was the good vs. evil speeches scattered throughout the book and Alexandra's overblown reactions to Damian toward the end. I still can't believe, after having spent the entire night with him doing the nasty, she wakes up and strikes him with a brush for - of all things - trying to kiss her. Then SHE goes on to lecture HIM for being depraved and cruel!!!
Anyway, I highly recommend GENTLE FROM THE NIGHT as one of the more entertaining reads I've encountered. It has horror, suspense, romance, and both a fascinating hero and heroine. I think I like it mostly for Damian. He's one of the most intriguing guys I've read about in a while.

Summary: Pretty Ordinary
Review: I was interested in this book for the gothic plot, and while it was gothic, it was also a bit on the boring side.I didn't find Damien all that interesting a hero. I did like that Alexandra was suffering prejudice for her Jewish heritage, which is a nice and interesting quality for a romance heroine. Not very sexy or exciting though.

Summary: Hard to keep reading, hard to stop
Review: I was scared to keep reading this book, but was scared to stop and not find out how it ended. Even reading the villan's name, Ursula Pole, now chills me to the bone three months later. The romance is good and the story draws you in and doesn't let go until it's over. A good read for romance/mystery fans.

Summary: Just the best!
Review: I would say that this book is one of my all time favourites. Why? It holds but suspense, horror (in a way) and love at the same time. Throughout the whole novel, all i wanted to do was to say, "No Damien! Don't go to the dark side!" It was scary to think about Ursula Pole... These two people needed each other, and this book captivated that feeling, making the reader feel the same things they did: the horror, the love, the pain and the happiness. A must read!
