Betrayed by those she trusted, penniless and alone, Darcie Finch is forced to accept a position that no one else dares, as assistant to dangerously attractive Dr. Damien Cole. Ignoring the whispered warnings and rumours that he’s a man to fear, she takes her position at his eerie estate where she quickly discovers that nothing is at it seems, least of all her handsome and brooding employer. As … Darcie struggles with her fierce attraction to Damien, she must also deal with the blood, the disappearances … and the murders.
With her options dwindling and time running out, Darcie must rely on her instincts as she confronts the man she is falling in love with. Is he an innocent and misunderstood man … or a remorseless killer who prowls the East End streets?

I love Eve Silver’s Dark Gothic series. Her fairytale retellings are beautifully written, rich with history, romantic, and leave a chill creeping up your spine.
Scary from the first page of Dark Desires! Too scared to stop reading for fear that, somehow, I would be the next victim if I stopped turning the pages! Great read!
I loved this book, never really read a dark Gothic romance, didn’t know what i was missing. This story about Darcie And Damien was wonderful i could not put it down, as Darcie walks through the dark streets of Whitechapel you can almost feel her fear and see the fog swirling around her. She hides from the evil that she knows is following her as …
I enjoyed the twists and turns it had right up until the end.
Only if nothing better to read
A gripping and heart-stopping read!, March 3, 2016
I am picky about giving 5 stars to a book, but I felt this one deserved it. It isn’t often that an author can truly keep me guessing, I swear from one chapter to the next I wasn’t sure. The characters were written in the real form, meaning that outside of the world of novels, their actions and …
DARK DESIRES is the first book in the DARK GOTHIC SERIES. Each book may be read as a stand alone. It has romance, mystery and suspense. It is told from a third person, from the heroine’s point of view. It takes place in England, 1828. The heroine is only 20, and the hero is a doctor, so there must be an age-gap. His age was never revealed. I would …
I’ve always enjoyed a good Gothic romance and this book doesn’t disappoint. Set during the early 1800s in London’s Whitechapel, it is full of dark, misty streets and alleyways. A series of gruesome murders take place, reminiscent of Jack the Ripper. The main character, Darcie, is in the employ of Dr Damian Cole and begins to wonder if he could be …
I forgot how much I enjoy Gothic Romances–this one definitely reminded me!!
You may shiver along with Darcie as she tries to discover if the dark and brooding man she has fallen in love with-the man who saved her from the life she had been living on the streets, is a killer. Everyone tried to warn her–but she could not reconcile what they said …
Loved this!
It was “ok”
Two people with secrets are drawn together in this gothic romance. A brooding doctor, a young lady with no prospects, murder and suspense add up to a chillingly delicious story. This is the first book in the Gothic Series, but be aware that each book has different characters and are stand alone books.
This gothic novel had interesting characters …
Dark Desires – Lots of twists and weird! Every time I thought I had this figured out, they threw a wrench into my theory! If you have any interest in the roots of modern anatomy, you may be less squeamish than I was. But then again, I don’t do blood, needles, or scalpels with any grace. Anyone else wonder why I work in healthcare? Enjoy the …
Excellent pacing! Suspenseful. Sexy. The author did a phenomenal job with this one!
I enjoyed this novel.
We had a beautiful heroine who was in need of saving. A sexy damaged hero and a deadly mystery. This all blended together to make a very interesting read.
I liked that the author didn’t give away all the secrets in the beginning but kept you wanting more. With each page I turned I found myself wanting to dive deeper into …
An interesting change after Regency Romances. Just enough dark corners to keep your attention with being scary.
I wasn’t sure what to expect from this story from the introduction. It was very dark from beginning to end, and as I started it I thought the story wouldn’t be something I would care for. Our heroine’s background was a little discombobulated from the start, and it took half of the book to explain why she had been raised a “lady” but was now a maid …
I have not read this author before, but can’t wait to read more. Suspenseful, intriguing, twists, turns, surprises galore. Highly recommend.
Just okay
Lovely story that keeps you on the edge of your seat. One moment you swear he is doing dark deeds and the next moment you can’t believe that he could possibly do anything so horrid. You believe and doubt… doubt and believe until the pieces finally fall together and you finally know the truth. Was a fun tale to read.
