5.0 out of 5 stars VERY HOT!!!, November 7, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Dark Fires (Mass Market Paperback)

If you have read "Innocent Fire," then you must read this novel. It is about Nicholas Bragg, the first-born son of Derek and Miranda. He is also the Earl of Dragmore. He is rumored to have murdered his first wife even after he was found innocent by a British court. He is wild, explosive, uncouthed and as handsome as sin. Jane Barclay becomes his ward and she is determined to tame the Texas rakehell. Their story is simply delicious. One that you will read time and time again.

If you love the Bragg series, you'll love this edition to the series. Dark Fires is a sensual, hot, passionate story. Nicholas Bragg, the son of Derek and Miranda in Innocent Fire, is living in hell. He is dealing with a family secret he cannot share, his wife is dead and socitey thinks he killed her and most importantly he has a new young ward who he needs to stay away from. Jane, is a young, sensual innocent girl who falls in love with the powerful Nicholas. This book is hot. Jane is willing to do anything to have Nicholas take an interest in her. Little does she know that he is fighting himself and his love and lust for her. Once these two characters come together, they share a firey passion and are desperate for each other's love. This book is great. It has a passionate love scences, strong characters, creative story line, excitement and more. If you can get this book, get it! You'll read it more than once.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good, but I did want to toss it across the room a few times..., June 3, 2008

This review is from: Dark Fires (Paperback)

I totally agree with the reviewer that sums this book up as being "exasperating but good." I couldn't put it down, it had me turning the pages - and I confess I do love these over-the-top heroes that aren't quite politically correct - but the misunderstandings did at times threaten to overtake the story. Yet I did enjoy it, and as long as you don't mind some melodramatic eye-rolling moments you probably will, too.
