Catherine Coulter’s revamped first novel—a gothic regency romance. The #1 New York Times bestselling author’s very first novel, rewritten as a Gothic. A woman who makes the wrong choice for a husband may not live to marry the man of her dreams…
Oh my, oh my, oh my god!!! 100 stars for this book!
I think I’ve never read before such a great story that full of suspense, mystic things, chilling connection of murders and, of course, the line about forbidden love.
Actually as I start reading books I think sometimes like…”I already read such things or I read similar scenes in other stories…Again the same cliche…”
BUT NOT THIS TIME! NO! OMG. I still cannot put my thoughts in order and calm my impression and emotions! I feel like I’had watched the whole movie in my head! I bet I am able to create a great movie for this story. This book is so splendid that I cannot say more…Out of my mind!
Mrs Coulter SURPRISED ME TOTALLY! I couldn’t imagine how she did that but she did! I still cannot figure out how DID I MISS SUCH A BOOK? WHY? Why I didn’t read it before? The blurb won’t tell you the real things that happen in this great suspense Gothic story. For example, a drama and secrets, murders that happen in this book and love. I just soundlessly admire this story.
A beautiful girl Andrea Jameson married on a mysterious and much older than her, a widowed beautiful count. She married him because she thought her life will be calmer if she doesn’t face a male betrayal in her life, like to see his mistresses. She was a witness of how her mother suffered from her father’s unfaithfulness and swore to herself never marry a man who can make her feel something emotional and manipulate her feelings. However, Andrea thinks that she is safe from danger but she is wrong. Despite she meets a beautiful nephew of her husband, John, when she comes to her husband’s mansion (actually she met John 3 times in London before her marriage but avoided his attachment towards her, and she didn’t listen to her brother when he said that her marriage is a huge mistake) she feels uncomfortable in his presence because she understands he has some feelings towards her how he watches her and behave. And then more she talks to him, then more she understands that she falls in love with John! But… Staying in her husband’s mansion, Andy realizes how this marriage makes her to experience the most dreadful fear for her life, and she does not know what to do. She has no relatives in this house, only her loyal doggy. How can she fight such a threat from a person who wants to kill her since she met that person at the first day of her living when she wanted to scare Andy? She feels that person wants to revenge for something and the target is her, Andy. But why and for what that person wants to kill her? Only John decides to help Andrea to find who is that man or a woman. Would he do it for sure and save Andrea, the love of his life, from death? Or maybe he is a real murder?! 😉 You have to find out!
P.S. I won’t mind to read this book over and over again! This one goes to my most favorite books!
