The hero is a scoundrelly pirate and the heroine a sweet widow who despises him - at first. So far so good. Hoyt really knows how to bring her characters to live so I'll have to continue on with this series and maybe even start it from the beginning :)Bark At The Ghoulshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05201971932093705929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9071306572651203668.post-6645171598116013582013-03-13T05:34:47.140-04:002013-03-13T05:34:47.140-04:00I am not a fan of her books, though I have only ev...I am not a fan of her books, though I have only ever read her very first one.

I got this one from the publisher for review and didn't have enough time to fit the other four in first. But really she did a great job and I enjoyed it thoroughly.<br /><br />I love the very mix matched pairings in romance in general so very excited to hear that's the norm for her. Thanks for the heads up on that. Makes me want to grab them up even sooner!Anna (herding cats-burning soup)https://www.blogger.com/profile/17422129120413380189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9071306572651203668.post-14636236272409220142013-03-13T03:18:38.184-04:002013-03-13T03:18:38.184-04:00I love Elizabeth Hoyt.

Her couples are usually two people who couldn't be less suited to each other and somehow she makes them work it out.<br /><br />I think you'd have gotten a better enjoyment out of Lord of Darkness if you had started the series from the beginning, or at least read Thief of Shadows first (which is one of my all time favorites). I can't wait to see what you think of the other books in the series or even her other books in general.<br /><br />AdriaAdria's Musings https://www.blogger.com/profile/04826820296367774728noreply@blogger.com
