Rating:  Summary: Dark, romantic and mysterious Review: When Elizabeth Penshurst disgraces her minister father by dancing in the wood in her shift, she is sent away to live with distant cousins she's never met. Before she leaves, she is warned to "Beware the Dark Man."The first person Lizzie meets when she reaches Yorkshire is Gabriel Durham, expelled from the priesthood and shunned by his own family, he appears very dangerous to her. But Lizzie is drawn to Gabriel in ways she cannot explain, even though she is warned by him to be wary of even him. Dark magic, druid cults, ghosts, dancing in the moonlight and yet another of Anne Stuart's famous mysterious men, that is the formula this novel. While a nice, fast read, I wouldn't say it's the very best. I do recommend it though for Anne Stuart's wonderful storytelling.
