Isabella Farrington’s marriage was hasty. For all her new husband’s riches, Lord Draven Winthrop is whispered about, avoided, and feared. Yet Isabella is drawn to Draven’s dark good looks, his strength, the charm he can turn on as easily as she can blink. The impoverished daughter of an Egyptologist, she knows there are rumors about her, too, and the amulet she wears. Nothing more than superstitious babble…
But when Isabella returns to Draven’s remote coastal manor, she senses there is something more at work in the grim gardens of Thorncliff Towers than superstition. Draven is passionate and seductive, but he has a brutal, uncontrolled side too, and a history of secrets. To live in peace she must discover the reasons behind a gypsy curse and a mother’s scorn. Especially when she learns Draven believes his sweet young bride is doomed to a fate even darker than his own…
My Thoughts: This was everything I was looking for! A well thought out plot, passionate scenes, and they flowed together perfectly. It was not "Here is your sexy times" and here is some half backed plot. No! It was seamless in how it was written.Sexy Level: 4.5 um.... I don't know how to explain how amazing some of these scenes were written. It was just wonderful writing.
Characters: 5 Draven was dark, mysterious, and so sexy. The perfect sort of man with imperfections. Isabella was so beautiful and lovely. And the supporting characters were all well thought out, and relevent to where the story was going.
Story: 4.5 Who doesn't love a beauty and the beast type story. I have never not liked them so this was right up my alley.
Overall: 4.5 By far the best I have read so far for this blog. It wasn't just one thing or another, it was the perfect mix of literature and romance.
