Summary: Captivating!!!
Review: As always Victoria Holt is at her best in this captivating novel of gothic romance and suspense. It leaves the reader a bit bewildered at times but willing to read on. I have read all of Victoria Holt's novels and have to say that this is my all time favorite!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: the best suspense, romantic, and historic thrill book!
Review: I do not own the book but I have read it and it is terrific for someone who loves a good mystery, anticipation for romance, and enjoys the history of the 18th century. This is an old-fashioned romantic novel and is the best. I have read most of her novels and she always writes in 1st person which makes you feel like you are the character that she is writing about and that you are apart of this mystery and romance.

With the mystery part of it, she keeps it suspenseful enough to carry it throughout the novel and has some interesting twists to the key behind the mystery.

The romantic part of it is not so graphically detailed. The main character ends up finding romance but it's exciting and the thrill behind it is that the character keeps her guard up trying to resist this man's charms. There is the thrill behind the man that's peristently pursuing her for romantic reasons and the possibility for love. The author always makes the male character a man that might have quite an exciting past but he always manages to respect the main character that he is pursuing.

She has been my favorite writer since my mother made a recommendation on this. You can imagine how some books may be dry and not capture your interest. I can read this book many times more!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A very good romance novel
Review: I greatly enjoyed reading this book. The heroine of the story is a young lady named Cordelia Grant. She attends a school in Switzerland where she and her friends meet a handsome stranger in the forest at the exact moment when one of them is supposed to see their future husband. Cordelia is haunted by memories of this stranger that follow her to Colby Abbey Academy for Young Ladies where she becomes a school teacher. The handsome landlord, Jason Verringer, pursues Cordelia, but he has a dark past that keeps Cordelia away. The book's plot is easy to understand and follow. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who likes Victoria Holt or likes a good romance novel.

Summary: If you liked The Demon Lover, you would love Hunter's Moon
Review: This book constantly reminds me of The Demon Lover. It viberates with the same passion as the latter. While Hunter's Moon may not appear as glamourous as The Demon Lover at first glance, it has a sweeter plot, a tenderer hero, and hence a more romantic story overall. Also, if you enjoy lively repartee between the hero and heroine, with him being thick-skinned and her seemingly prudish, this book will be a treat.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: a good romance with a nice touch of mystery
Review: This is the 1st Victoria Holt book I read, now I can't stop buying them. It's too bad that they're aren't many more for me to go!
