If you love historical romantic suspense, don't miss this thrilling read!
Lisa Jackson, New York Times bestselling author raves HIS DARK KISS is "Riveting! A dark, steamy and twisted tale!"
Rumors of madness and murder lurk within the crumbling walls of isolated Manorbrier Castle. But Emma Parrish is not easily put off. She accepts a position no one else dares, as governess to the son of Lord Anthony Craven, the castle’s dark master. Her presence stirs up shadows and threat. She feels unseen eyes watching her. Eerie laughter haunts her. And the seductive pull of Anthony Craven lures her.
The mystery of Anthony Craven’s shadowy past lurk behind the locked doors of the estate’s forbidden Round Tower. Mysterious lights flash there in the night. The servants whisper warnings of death. And Anthony himself warns Emma that there is only danger to be found in his sensual embrace.
Powerfully drawn to the dangerously alluring Anthony, Emma finds herself unable to deny her deepest yearnings. But even as she succumbs to the master of Manorbrier, she is touched by the whisper of evil that rises from the secrets of his past.

His Dark Kiss Dark Gothic Book 2 edition by Eve Silver Romance eBooks
Completely baffled by how this book got all the high reviews.The heroine spends all her time gasping with maidenly lust, every single time she looks at her employer. He apparently is such a stallion that he cannot remain fully clothed, and his chest, even his abs are on display... sounds highly unlikely for the time period.
The other characters are cardboard cut-outs, uttering warnings that so dire they could fit into Young Frankenstein dialogue.
When the suspense plot begins to unfold, we are presented with a completely disgusting description of a corpse ridden with anthrax (which the hero's coachman is hiding in the estate's tower, mind you). The hero apparently sees no reason the heroine should be upset by this, or why he should explain why he's into dead bodies ... and that's where I quit.
I couldn't hack anymore of this dreadful nonsense.

His Dark Kiss Dark Gothic Book 2 edition by Eve Silver Romance eBooks Reviews
I enjoyed Dark Desire way better. Emma kinda got on my nerves. She came off a little weak to be as curious as she was. Like the ending, I was totally shocked as to who was the culprit.
Even better than the first in this series of Gothics by Silver tortured hero, mysterious encounters, lurking danger, and steamy passion. There's a little too much graphic description of the bedroom scenes to suit my taste, but not enough to ruin the story for me. This turned into a real page-turner in the final chapters. Overall, a very satisfying read.
Note about "series" This is a series by virtue of genre, not characters. Do not expect the books to be tied together through relationships among the people depicted.
Not as good as the first, but that probably had more to do with the heroine's actions/reactions. Emma jumps to so many conclusions and my frustration is always one where I can never stomach the characters not talking. A perfect example is when she sees Lord Anthony enter his son's room with a knife and she jumps on the child to protect him because, why else would his father have a knife other than to harm the boy? A boy that she has clearly seen loves his father and for whom the father clearly adores him in return. She even questions what she is seeing, but instead of simply asking, assumes the worst. And the fact that he lets the <i>governess</i> get away with dictating his actions toward his son is preposterous. A true villain would have reacted differently.
I did begin to guess who was behind the strange happenings at the manor, but the coming together of the mysteries behind Lord Anthony's wife's death was still a good story to read.
I'm giving this book 4 stars. The plot is very interesting, as were the different characters throughout the story. My one , shall I say, irritation, is with the main female. The heroine gave me whiplash with her mental see-sawing. Some confusion and mistrust on her part was completely warranted, but it went on far too long. It is dragged out and inevitably becomes very irritating. As I said, the story itself is compelling and keeps you wanting to continue reading. I did like the personality of the heroine, a lot actually. If she had struggled with her thoughts regarding the male lead a less, or even if her reflections were more brief in description I would have rated this book a solid 5 stars. I enjoyed the twists and turns, and the romance was well done. I like a bit of steam in the bedroom scenes and these were nicely descriptive! The other reason for my 4 star rating is I'm a fan of a nice tidy epilogue, and this book does not include one. Although it does end with a HEA.
I will definitely be reading more from this author.
True Gothic novels are very hard to find. For modern authors, they've become a campy medium for sappy romances without any of the dark intrigue of the original genre. With that said, I cannot express how happy I was to find that Silver embraced these original themes of the Gothic genre and pulled off a novel not only elegantly written but so well developed that I could not put it down until I read in one shot. The characters are interesting, their development excellent. The plot is full of twists and, like a true Gothic novel, leaves you guessing after each piece of the mystery is revealed. I cannot go on enough about how much I enjoyed this novel and will definitely be picking up more from the series and from Silver.
She kept repeating over and over how she felt about this guy every two seconds in the same way. It got old quick. Also the part where she thinks he’s going to stab the boy was just so outlandish. It made no sense. I like her work normally but this wasn’t may favorite.
When I read the first book in the Dark Gothic series, it took me awhile to get into. However, by the end I was thrilled with this author. Then I read His Dark Kiss. To say I was caught up in the story is an understatement. The main character is an illegitimate, naive, lonely girl who finds herself strongly attracted to her employer. She is a little over the top sometimes with her inability to breath when in his presence or when he is near, her heart races. You can feel the longing of this young woman for her dark lord in the author's writing. They do eventually consummate the relationship but the build up was incredible. I was more impressed with this story than the first one and bought the next book along (even though they are stand-alone novels).
