Wicked Promise - Premium Gothic Jewelry for Women | Elegant Dark Fashion Accessories | Perfect for Halloween, Cosplay, and Alternative Style Outfits

Recently I have been reading some of Kat's older books and I am more than just a little impressed. She has written some very intense historical romances. This, Wicked Promise might be one of her best. I love heroes, like Nicholas that are thought to be so wicked and really are just the most loving of men. Nicholas was unjustly accused and sentenced to a murder that he really did not commit. After nine long years of exile he returns and since everyone expects him to be evil he appears that way. But all of a sudden he is given Elizabeth Woolcott as his ward, and immediately their is an attraction. The chemistry between this couple is amazing right from the first. I do not know why some couples just leap off the page with chemistry but this couple did. To complicate the story even more, than just Nicholas's history of a murder conviction he is also married, but estranged from his wife. He has to take in Elizabeth because the brother of the man he was accused of killing is determined to make Elizabeth his wife. This is an intense, complicated plot but it moves along at a great pace, and I would say it is difficult to put the book down until you finish the wonderful story. Many times you wonder how it can possibly work out. And the steadfast love that Elizabeth has for Nicholas is just so refreshing. Unlike other females that might give up, or allow themselves to be pulled away from their man, she continues to love him with every fiber of her being. Wow what a great love story!! And Nicholas proves to all that he was always the good and decent man that Elizabeth believed him to be!
