Full of intriguing characters, fast paced storyline and simmering tension, DARK TEMPTATION keeps the reader glued to the pages as this author draws you deeper in to the world of Blackheath Moor.
Meet Sophie St. Clair, a woman who finds herself banished to Cornwall after a provoking scandal has her banished from London. When she spies mysterious lights and hears the rumors of ghost ships, she is intrigued to find out what is going on in Penhollow and Blackheath Moor. Wow, this was no shrinking violet. Ms. Chase definitely delivers one spunky heroine who made me smile at times with her actions and add in one sexy Lord and stir. What you get is a pair of characters that race into your heart and never let go. Chad Rutherford is a hero who made me swoon when he walked across the pages of DARK TEMPTATION. Sophie intrigues him and together they find much more than they ever imagined. Some wonderful secondary characters kept the story flowing smoothly and I am eager to see if they show up in the other books in the series.
In all, DARK TEMPTATION is one of those rare books that keeps you entertained from start to finish. With some multi-dimensional characters, mysteries and simmering sexual tension, Ms. Chase delivers a high octane ride till the very end. If you enjoy a well-written historical romance with a dash of paranormal, then grab DARK TEMPTATION. I am eager to check out the other books in the series and see what happens next in Blackheath Moor. Run, don’t walk, to grab this wonderful new author and settle in for an enjoyable journey.
