Editorial Reviews

Product Description

All he wants is silence. All she wants are answers.

Damien Kirk was once a world-renowned cellist, celebrated across five continents for his musical gift. Now he lives in self-imposed isolation on a small Caribbean island.

Biography writer Victoria Benedict is looking for a story…and she’s not the type to take no for an answer. Her appearance on his doorstep shatters his reclusive existence.

Determined to be rid of her, Damien demands a quid pro quo: a kiss for each answer to her interview questions. Her response is as arousing as it is unexpected. As Damien and Victoria escalate their sensual game of cat and mouse, Victoria discovers the passionate soul underneath Damien’s cold exterior…and a shocking story of secrets and betrayal.

Warning: This title contains the following: sex, scorching kisses, killer breakfasts, a hot tropical island and a happily ever after.

5.0 out of 5 stars Contemporary, fresh, and sophisticated take on the gothic romance, September 24, 2009

Great book! I especially loved the set-up with the falls, the treacherous pathway, the mysterious and brooding hero. The setting and pacing reminded me of the gothic romances that I used to pilfer from my mom growing up (Phyllis Whitney and Barbara Michaels) but with a fresh and contemporary slant.

Also, I love that the hero, Damien, is talented and sophisticated yet still masculine. Too many romances these days have Alpha/thug heroes. Damien is a breath of fresh air. The great chemistry between hero and heroine makes for a satisfying blend of hot scenes and sweet,emotional journeys for both characters.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nice debut, September 4, 2009

This review is from: Devil Falls (Paperback)

This is the first book by author Angelle Trieste, and I thought it was a great beach-book debut. How often do you have a cello player as a protagonist? Or an albino doberman as a minor character? Trieste definitely has a fertile imagination, and I look forward to seeing more of her work.

So, the story: Victoria and Damien seem like they're completely mismatched from the start, but as you read through the novel they become drawn together. Damien is hiding something, and believe me when I say that the revelation at the end of the book comes as a complete surprise! I totally did not see it coming! Anyway, once you know what that is all the other stuff that came before suddenly makes sense. Recommended for anyone who likes a good romance, a brooding hero and hot love scenes.
