Review # 1 was written on 2009-05-26 00:00:00 Chris Bishop Daniel St. John takes his ward away from her school when he discovers she's older than he thought. He realizes how attractive she is and decides to use her as a pawn in a game of revenge he's been playing for almost a decade. Nobody knows much about his past and there are many tales about his success with the wives of some peers. But the innocent woman he plans to use lures him like no other and makes it difficult to hold on to his original plans. I really liked this dark romance. I cared for the characters early on and found their attraction powerful. I like the suspense part, which neither overshadowed the romance, nor was a minor detail in the background. There was a dark atmosphere throughout the book that made me think it was constantly dark and cloudy outside:) Good chemistry and very interesting secondary characters. The pace however was slow enough to make my mind drift away sometimes. But as I've said before, Hunter's writing style does that for me usually, so I might not be objective. I liked it enough though to want to read another book in these series. I'll have to decide then if I can be persuaded to put more of Mrs Hunter's books in my to-buy list.

Review # 2 was written on 2019-01-03 00:00:00 Katherine Wilburn Brannon Diane Albret does a Bad Thing at her school which results in her guardian, Daniel St. John, being summoned to OK a caning. Except her bare bottom appears to be much older than claimed!! :o (NOT JOKING.) He removes her from the school and decides that because she is young, beautiful, and innocent she will make excellent bait for the rapist pedo-esque villain of the piece. Unfortunately, his RAGING BONERS get in the way, spoiling forever his attempt at revenge!!! 1. Daniel is kind of a an alpha pile. He and his family was betrayed! BETRAYED!!!! which means that it's obviously OK to do whatever it takes to get back at those who wronged him. And while he promises that no harm will befall Diane, what he means is that no man but him will ever put his hands on her because something something PROPERTY. 2. Diane at least calls him on his dictatorship!! And she's a sharp heroine, which I absolutely appreciated! It was just too little in the face of the overwhelming MURK. 3. The atmosphere is so mired in its own drama and history that it gets exhausting to read. Everyone is something of a villain except the heroine who is So Pure that Her Love Will Overcome. It's fine, it's just a tone I wasn't particularly in the mood for. I ended this feeling very little joy at the happy ever after because the world the characters inhabit seems very unhappy in general. 4. Also I tire of the horribly Mangsty heroes that fixate on the innocent virgin who absolves all their pain and troubles: NEXT.
