5.0 out of 5 stars A Brilliant read..., August 20, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Shadow Lover (Paperback)

What saddened me about the reviewer who gave this book two stars was that she had more time to edit than appreciate. That showed me she had no need for intellectual entertainment. Rather she should try a device to reduce tension other than books. I will make no suggestions but I'm sure there are many. Merely correcting grammatical errors does not make one an authority. Thrillers are about immersion. I think the author, Hope C. Clarke, did a great job immersing you in her world. Regardless of typographical errors this book was a great read. I think it has an attitude and quality that's right for the market. Maybe that reviewer can proof read one of the books next time and ensure that such brilliant works are error-free. However, if you can't see past those minor errors, get a life.

There is so much that can be said for Shadow Lover ....

This was a different read for me but I must say I loved it !!!!! It wasn't a realistic story especially the idea of a doctor falling in love with a battered woman, the wife of another man .Love at first sight? She was almost dead when the doctor saw her . I found that hard to believe. Compassionate yes.However this is a story not to be missed .Irvan was a crazey killer on the loose he was murdering any one he felt getting in his way .He was a control freak .I agree with one of the previous readers . Shadow Lover is an amazing story in a class by itself ! It proved that the shadow man is going to get you ! Irvan certainly got his ! This was , an amazing, entertaining, unbelievable and very good read ! I love the way the author put so much eroticism in her sex scenes . They were very steamy, at times I had to just put the book down . Then go back when I'd stop fanning ! ^5 to you Hope and please keep those scenes coming in the next books ! I will be waiting at the bookstores or computer for you next books! Thanks for a job well done ! If you have read the reviews posted on this book don't hesistant get it now ! Another 4.5 * read less than 5* but certainly more than 4* !

5.0 out of 5 stars A Man's Quest for Control, August 9, 2000

This review is from: Shadow Lover (Paperback)

Shadow Lover is a very well written book. Great for battered women. If you're blaming yourself, stop and read this book. It will make you change your mind.

Ivan thrives on control and will stop at nothing to win it all. Angelica, a sweet and beautiful woman, made the wrong choice of marrying this man; therefore, she and everyone else who gets involved will have to pay the consequences.

Hope does an exceptional job on describing the means Ivan takes to satisfy his hunger for control. He's always one step ahead of everyone, but he doesn't anticipate Angelica's departure. Watch the suspense grow. You will be on edge. Seems so real!!!
