Suspenseful Romance during the French Revolution,
By PrincessMars09 "Raye" (Oakland, CA, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Devil on Horseback (Mass Market Paperback)
Wonderful, suspenseful romantic story. The Comte Fontaine Delibes makes you root for him even though you're not sure of the nature of his intentions. Also a good deal of history too since it takes place during the French Revolution. The Revolution seen through the eyes of an aristocrat is an interesting perspective and one not usually told. 18 year old Minella Maddox falls for the Comte even though it looks like he might have killed his wife. As the French Revolution is at its height Minella is swept in a dangerous adventure with the Comte's daughter who is also her best friend. Recommended to Victoria Holt readers and history nerds/hopeless romantics like me.

Very Nice :),
By "katiekerkstra" (Illinois) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Devil on Horseback (Paperback)
It was very very very good. A romance novel. No sex scenes like I had been expecting (darn), but there was very good plot. Good use of characters. Very vivid and personal.

The Devil On Horseback,
By Linda F. Townzen (Lexington, KY United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Devil on Horseback (Hardcover)
This was the first Victoria Holt I have ever read, and I certainly plan to read more of them! Right from the start I became engrossed in the story, trimmed with interesting characters, a dramatic setting, and a solid, twisting plot. It is one I would highly recommend. Holts style of writing is so seamless and realistic that one gets an illusion that they are there. I liked it so much, I am in the middle of two more of her books ( The King of the Castle and The Black Opal) right now.Intriguing, engrossing novel!
