Sweet little romantic novella, November 17, 2010
This review is from: A Dance in the Dark (Kindle Edition)
Louisa Patterson would have settled for just being plain. As it is, though, there's no avoiding the fact that she's simply ugly. She's inherited the worst of all the family features and is graced with face not entirely unlike a horse's. Fortunately, or perhaps unfortunately, she also stands to inherit enough money to make her the most sought after prize on the marriage market to the scores of penniless young men now haunting her grandfather's estate and singing her virtues. But Louisa is terribly lonely. All she wants is to be liked for herself, not her money. She begins to think this is impossible, until she stumbles into a well-hidden cave...
Duncan Traherne is a vampire with a conscience. Fearful of killing people by draining their life forces completely, he's retreated into an isolated cave and made it his home, resigning himself to a life of solitude, until one day that solitude is interrupted by a most prepossessing young lady...
This is a novella which isn't much like Karen Ranney's other books. There's no great conflict and no real suspense. It's sweet, but forgettable. Worth a read if you want a quick, light romance, but don't expect a torrid love story. About PG-15. No majorly steamy love scenes here.

Interesting and refreshing., March 17, 2011
This review is from: A Dance in the Dark (Kindle Edition)
I really enjoyed Dance in The Dark as Karen Ranney steps away from the mundane with her refreshing approach to the historical vampire romance. The story brings us in as Luisa's curiosity causes her to stumble upon a hermit's home. Having started the story with no knowledge of characters or plot, I initially found myself questioning the circumstances in which Luisa discovers her stranger. However, my questions were quickly answered and I found the plot blooming into a beautiful story with a surprising and pleasant twist on the paranormal vampire story. I was quickly captivated by this romantic story of Luisa and Douglas from different worlds and looking for acceptance and find friendship and innocent love. I found this story refreshing and numerous times found myself smiling and sighing while reading it. I look forward to reading more works by Karen Ranney.
