Summary: Perfect for people who love dark, Gothic romances
Review: If you miss the Gothics, this book has all the elements that you're missing. But be warned that it has a few elements that most Gothics didn't have. Sex; real spookiness; and a hero who is so jaded that he tries to corrupt the heroine.Yet for all his dark deeds, Damien has good qualities. He takes care of his developmentally disabled brother, and unlike many so-called "heroes," he never rapes the heroine. In his own twisted way (boy is he twisted), he is honorable. NOTE: That this book is definitely not for everyone. Some people loathe this book because of its hero. Some so-called dark heroes merely "flirt" with the dark side -- Damien pretty much has a full-fledged affair with the dark side. Anne M. Marble Reviewer, All About Romance

Summary: There's nothing gentle about its grip on your imagination!
Review: Phenomenal, my very first and favorite McKinney books of all time! Original and realistic-in some respects...loved the take on a Jewish heroine!

Summary: Not my cup of tea.
Review: The story is probably excellent for its genre, but I'm prejudiced against Gothic Romances (I usually prefer a touch of comedy). Unfortunately, I didn't read the reviews online before buying it. To be fair, the story is really dark, scary & spooky--if you love that kind of stuff. The suspense will just kill you--it's too much.

Summary: One of Ms. Mckinney's Best Books
Review: This book answers why I am Ms. Mckinney's fan. Some of her books, especially this one, have class. Unlike some romances the vulgarity of which repel me, most of Ms. Mckinney's books have subtlety. I especially adore her feminine and loyal heroines and am delighted that Ms. Mckinney chooses very interesting and sohpicated period and environment as the setting of her books. Ms. Mckinney, you are recently venturing into mainstream romances, but please write more superb historical romances like this one!

Summary: Dark dark dark...
Review: V-E-E-R-Y spooky and gothic-y. I haven't read one like this in years! (Shades of Victoria Holt but darker... and sexier). I always try to "picture" my characters and I envisioned Liam Neeson to be Damien and Jill Goodacre (Harry Connick's wife) to be Alexandra. The suspense was sustained throughout (in fact, I'm still not 100% sure I understood the ending). I jumped at every Bump in the Night. When Alex screamed, so did I. And Damien - what a tortured soul he was. They needed each other so desperately to heal. I really enjoyed this book. Try it- romantic, spooky but DARK. Read something frothy and funny after this(like Jennifer Crusie's Tell Me Lies). You'll need a perk up!!
