"A dark and delicious gothic. I gobbled it up in a single sitting. Oh, how I have missed books like this!"â??New York Times bestselling author Linda Lael Miller

Betrayed by those she trusted, penniless and alone, Darcie Finch is forced to accept a position that no one else dares, as assistant to dangerously attractive Dr. Damien Cole. Ignoring the whispered warnings and rumours that he's a man to fear, she takes her position at his eerie estate, where she quickly discovers that nothing is at it seems, least of all her handsome and brooding employer. As Darcie struggles with her fierce attraction to Damien, she must also deal with the blood, the disappearances ... and the murders.

With her options dwindling and time running out, Darcie must rely on her instincts as she confronts the man she falling in love with. Is he an innocent and misunderstood man ... or a remorseless killer who prowls the East End streets?

Bonus content: Never-before-seen Epilogue!

"This sensual gothic will keep you up all night as you rush to finish it. Outstanding!"â??Rendezvous

"...a gripping gothic that combines the tension of the Jack the Ripper stories with the dark aura of Jekyll and Hyde and the chill of a classic horror film. There's icy fear and smoldering passion, twists and turns and red herrings thrown in here and there to keep you up all night."â??RT B… (mehr)

Murder, mystery, love, and history!

"Dark Desires," by Eve Silver is a lovely read that will keep you wanting more! The main character, Darcie Finch is left with nothing. On a cold, rainy night, with nothing left to lose, she walks through the fence of Dr. Damien Cole. She begins work as a servant, only later to be asked to help Dr. Cole with his medical research.

Soon she finds herself attracted to Dr. Damien Cole. The only reason why Darcie will not act upon her attraction to him because of his dark secret. Darcie finds out that he is dissecting bodies from the University in order to learn more about the human body. Even though being a doctor and learning about human body through death, the issue is that young "ladies of the night" are being killed by the work of someone with medical training.

Is Dr. Cole killing "the ladies of the night" and dissecting their bodies as a way to hide his deep dark secret??

I received a free copy of "Dark Desires" via iBooks and am voluntarily leaving a review. ( )

I wasn't sure what to expect with this book. But I wasn't at all disappointed in it. There was suspense, romance, and just enough creepiness to get the heart pounding. I really enjoyed watching Damien and Darcie fall in love. They both had such tragic pasts and secrets that weighed them down. Only, Damien's secrets made him seem like a serial killer. But Darcie was drawn to him nonetheless. Despite all the warnings ... and dead bodies. All in all, a compelling read. ( )

It was okay, but also disappointing. ( )

Finally, a gothic romance that ended in like and not in love. No happily ever after or riding off into the sunset. Starts off slow but picks up a bit. ( )
  Scaulkins | Jan 27, 2022 |
Darcie Finch with nothing left to lose finally finds her way to her sister's house of ill-repute but Abigail takes pity and directs her to the home of Dr. Damien Cole but with warnings of danger.
As Darcie is instantly attracted to him she faces the fear of his association with resurrectionists, the appearance of blood on his clothes, the disappearing staff and finally the murders.
A very enjoyable tale ( )
