Dark Gothic

review 1: Years ago I remember reading gothic romances by Victoria Holt, Velda Johnstone and Barbara Michaels to name a few. And I enjoyed reading those romances at that time. The virginal maiden, a dark hero, some mysterious tyrant and the typical setting of a castle, abbey or building that has a secret of its own. These were the typical markers of a good gothic romance.DARK PRINCE has Trevisham, an estate on the rocky coast in Cornwall. Jane, a young woman 'sold' to Aiden Warrick, an anguished man of contradictions. So many secrets drive the plot. Is he a smuggler? Where does he go at night? Can he be mad or is it Jane that has lost all her sensibility?This story is the third book in a romance series by Eve Silver. DARK DESIRES is the first and HIS DARK KISS is second in l... moreine. Lightly connected to the others, DARK PRINCE can be read alone. I could go into more depth but the book description at the top of the page does a better job.I enjoy reading about men who aren't perfect. I like some bite to a darker romance and I acquired that here. Jane and Aiden had their moments but that is what a gothic romance is all about. To find out what is really going on. The curious attraction between two people. Developing trust with someone special and the moxie that happens when secrets are finally revealed.
review 2: The idea of this book was more interesting than the actual story telling. Cornish coastline, abandoned castle up on the rocks, mysterious handsome man. What I got was a heroine that was timid and had some TSTL moments. The hero was borderline nasty and unfeeling also with his TSTL moments. Example: they arrive by coach at an Inn and the hero wakes up the heroine and tells her to stay put. Of course she doesn't and gets herself into trouble. First, why wake her up at all? TSTL hero moment. Next, the heroine had to use the privvy. Why didn't she say when the said hero woke her? Instead she wandered out herself amongst the smugglers. TSTL heroine moment. And ultimately, the hero decides to stay at the Inn. What, was he going to not tell the heroine and let her sleep in the coach??I had high expectations for this book but was sadly let down very much. less
