Dark Surrender by Erica RidleyMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
This is a decent historical novel. But, it's nothing fantastic. Sure, you have the damsel in distress, running from the law. You have the reclusive rich guy and his kid that no one knows exists. Damsel becomes governess, kid loves Damsel, Damsel loves rich guy. He loves Damsel but it takes him a long time to figure it out. End of story. But instead, you have thrown in a sickness where kid can't go in sun. Father (rich guy) lies about it to the world. Said lies make kid feel like garbage. Blah Blah. To me, the main characters spent more time over reacting to things going on, instead of really forming a romance. Oh, and did I mention, there's a run in, where there's almost a child rape, and the town thinks rich guy is a vampire? Yea. I think that this was an OK book, but nothing spectacular. It didn't blow me away.
