Darkwood Manor

By: Jenna Ryan

Narrated by: Liz Bieler

An estate haunted by over a hundred years of tragedy - and Donovan Black stood at the heart of it. Like Darkwood Manor, Donovan was an utter mystery. An FBI sharpshooter who couldn't break away from his past, he only wanted to make sure that history didn't repeat itself - especially now that the manor had a lovely new owner.

Isabella Ross had either discovered the perfect vacation spot or her final resting place. Now her only hope for survival is a man who doesn't want her around - a man she can't seem to resist. But the secrets in his family's attic threaten to consume them both, and something - or someone - won't rest until the manor house is empty....

Meh

I wanted to like this book. I got to chapter 9 and couldn't take it. The author needs a lot more descriptive words. Characters would change location and I had no idea where they were, how they got there, what they were doing; it was very distracting from the dialog. Finally I just skipped to the last chapter, (before the epilogue), and it told me everything I needed to know. Closure!

I usually listen to non-fiction audiobooks but I plan on giving fiction another shot.

Good Story but

didnt want to wade thru the sex and romance to finish. I know this supposed to be a romance but the story is great but it gets washed out with the tide of passion. Oh well. On to the next book.

Old-fashioned gothic mystery

This was a very enjoyable, old-fashioned kind of gothic mystery. The story was complex and the characters were fun.
