"A Entertaining Gothic!"

Ms. Thompson has penned a very evocative gothic romance with all of the elements fans of this genre will appreciate.

Her new husband Nicholas Walraven has rescued Sara from debtor's prison. Sara doesn't understand why Nicholas would do such a thing. They've never met and when they finally do she is surprised to see he's handsome if not a bit odd. Still she finds herself drawn to her secretive husband.

But from the first meeting Sara senses there are secrets at Ravencliff. They are dark and dangerous, and her quest to understand her husband only seems to add more questions to an ever-growing list. But the attraction between Nicholas and Sara is strong and no matter how hard they try they can't fight fate. But when Sara finds out the secret Nicholas has been desperately trying to keep, will she be willing to embrace Nicholas or will she loose him to a dark destiny?

Ms. Thompson has brought the sub genre of the gothic romance to vivid life with her story "The Ravencliff Bride." Her mastery over words will bring this dark romance to life for the reader. Nicholas and Sara are interesting characters and their romance was a joy to read. For fans new to the sub genre of gothic romance this is a fair introduction for them. Ms. Thompson is an author I look forward to reading in the future and one I would highly recommend.
