review 1: What a way to start a new year. I loved this gothic novel. It had lots of suspense, and romance, and a compelling story. There is danger at the center of the book that keeps pushing you to turn the pages. Some one may want the new Duke Herron dead, now that his father is gone. Was his father also killed? Herron is a brooding character, and seems at odds with his whole family, including his new female cousin, who is trying to help, and protect him. There are many characters to not like, and more to not trust. Not all seems as easy, as it seems, in the house on the cliff. Was the death of the youngest sister of the current lady of the house really a suicide? Why would she desert her husband, and baby.I loved the story, as it wound it's spell, and made me want to continue to... more read. I also liked the ending. There was character growth in the story, and redemption as well. It was a great way to begin the new year. I will be looking for more of this author to read.
review 2: This is one of the best pieces of historical fiction/romance I've ever read. I'm a big fan of historical fiction but not romance - usually. Amanda DeWees ranks right up there with Charlotte Bronte, Emily Dickenson, and so many others on the list of great women authors. Beautiful imagery and well-thought out characters make this destined to become a classic! There is mystery, conspiracy, romance and so much that gives this novel depth that most romance novels lack. I would recommend this to anyone who loves Historical Fiction or Romance and even some Mystery lovers. less

Really enjoyed the gothic romance style, and particularly enjoyed the Hamlet references. Brilliant!

Probably more like 3.5. Longer review in the works.

Pretty good. A twist on Hamlet.
