5.0 out of 5 stars Unputdownable, November 10, 2011

This review is from: The Women of Eden (Hardcover)
"Unfortunately he'd tried to remake human beings in his own image, and had found flesh and blood to be less malleable to his will than iron and brick."

Against the odds, John Murrey Eden carved out a huge financial empire and he rules it all - including the Women of Eden - his childlike wife Lila, his foster mother Elizabeth, his Indian mistress Dhari and his cousin Mary. Unfortunately, John's passion for protecting his women ultimately becomes an obsession, and the more the women resist him the greater is his need to control them, until love finally becomes hate and madness sets in...

This is one of those those books where the plot description is better left on the minimal side, you really do want to read it for your self (besides, as soon as this review is finished I can move on to book five). You'll find plenty of murder, madness, mayhem, rape, treachery, betrayal, deceit and Lord knows what else inside of these 600 pages. John sinks just about as low as it can go when he needs to regain control over his loved ones (and that's not just the women),

"Effortlessly he fashioned a noose, dropped it around his neck, shrugged off the cloak, for he would not need its warmth where he was going, and stepped off the trunk, filled with books documenting the wisdom and folly of ancient philosophers, into an abyss where neither wisdom nor folly counted for much..."

I loathed John and was turning the pages waiting and praying for pay back time. I loved Burke and Mary's story (can I have a Burke of my very own?), and really hope they get some HEA time in the next book after all that John and the evil Miss Veal and her evil girl's school put her through. And Lila, poor innocent Lila. Sniff. What can I say but READ THESE BOOKS. The series,
