How I love gothics!, Dec 10 2003
This review is from: Devil in the Dark (Candleglow) (Mass Market Paperback)
Lucinda Fairfax's father had left her and her mother when she was only five years old, to return to Yorkshire and claim his title and estate. At age twenty-five and with her mother deceased, Lucinda traveled to Yorkshire. Her father, Viscount Westcombe, had died in an accident and Lucinda was the heir.
Here she would meet the famous "Devil Duke" named Gideon Blackthorne. Right away sparks would fly and a haunting obsession would begin. And Death would stalk the night.
***** This is the first in a new Gothic line from Love Spell! Mary Stewart and Victoria Holt fans, take heed! An excellent choice to show the world that Gothics are back! Dark, mysterious, just a touch of the supernatural, and some steamy romance. No one can tell a story like Evelyn Rogers! And I believe Gothics are right up her alley! Pre-order if you are able, to ensure that you do not miss out! It gets no better than Evelyn Rogers! *****

could have been better, April 20 2002
This review is from: Devil in the Dark (Candleglow) (Mass Market Paperback)
I was really exicted about this book at first because tomented heros and the caring heroines who save them like in "Jane Ayre" but I was very disappointed in this book. Yes the hero, Gideon is a tormented soul and the heroine, Lucinda is a very caring loving woman who wants to heal him and love him like he deserves, but the characters were blah. They didn't seem to be fully developed. Also the story was a bit rushed at the end. I would have liked the reason for Gideon's torment to be looked into more and maybe showed his feelings of torment and how Lucinda eased that torment more. I just didn't really enjoy this book very much. It had potential but fell short of it.

Not what I was expecting... but still a good book, Oct 18 2001
This review is from: Devil in the Dark (Candleglow) (Mass Market Paperback)
I'll admit when I got this book I was expecting a vampire (or something like a vampire) to be in it. But you know what... I wasn't dissapointed to find that wasn't the case. (I won't spoil it for those who haven't read it, but I will say the guy isn't undead or immortal <G>) It was a great book.
