Velvet Is the Night

Rating:
Summary: A page turner
Review: True to herself, Elizabeth Thornton has again succeeded in capturing the reader's attention from the first page on. The story is set in the aftermath of the French revolution and alternatively moves between the US and France. The change in scenery, the realistically depicted historical background, and the well developed characters all work together to create a fast moving plot full of suspense and emotional depth. Enjoy!

Summary: And that star is a minus star!
Review: Why was this book ever reprinted? It was not very enjoyable reading many years ago and it's even less now. It's a book
to leave a bad taste in your mouth - forced sex (he just has to have her!) that overwhelms the young heroine so much
she responds against her will. The writing and storyline are
not up to later Thornton books. Could not bring myself to finish it. May be good for Barbara Cartland fans.
