His Dark Desires Jennifer St Giles Books

I have so many unread books on my Kindle that I have stopped finishing books that become boring or slow. It's rare for me to read a book that I can't put down or read it until I'm finished but this is one of those books. Wow, what a story! The author is so talented. There were several characters in the story and she brought them all to life and made them so very interesting. I read the first book and although it was a good story too, I felt
Iike it was a story I had read before in another book. However, this book had so much suspense, a great story line, wonderful characters, a gorgeous hero and a great heroine. I think this book is one of the best stories I have read in a long time.

His Dark Desires Jennifer St Giles Books Reviews

Set in New Orleans almost a decade after the Civil War, rooming house owner and war widow Juliet Boucheron needs to figure out a way to keep her house. After her (presumed) deceased husband stole gold from the southern army at the end of the war, Juliet has been persona non-grata, and her husband's former friend is trying to take her house. Juliet decides to find out for certain if her husband is dead, and hires a private eye who sends a message "trust no one". Then a stranger, Stephen, arrives to rent one of her rooms he's handsome, helpful, a paying customer and entirely too desirable. Soon, threats are made, people end up dead and it seems that a ghost is in the house.

I loved this book - the romance between Stephen and Juliet was sweet yet hot. I totally loved it! The mystery was good because I didn't guess who had done it until the end. And what an ending - action packed and exciting. I enjoyed this book so much and I look forward to checking out the other in the series.

I happened to be lucky enough to pick this wonderful book up for free. And what a wonderful surprise! I quickly found myself immersed in a post-civil war New Orleans filled with hardship, mystery, romance, passion and a little murder thrown in for good measure.

Juliet is a wonderful heroine who has done so much to keep her home and family together after the civil war has ravaged their home and community. She's done everything she can to raise her son on her own as she faces the reality that her husband abandoned them and ran off with thousands in gold. While trying to survive all of these hardships, she's faced with a mystery as she's told to trust no one and that she's in danger.

Stephen comes along to be a boarder in her house and adds to the mystery and confusion she's facing. Juliet is so attracted to Stephen but since she's still married to her husband she refuses to give in to that temptation. Stephen pursues her. But as much as he wants her, he insists she come to him. He is an honorable man and will do anything to protect her from harm. While Juliette relies on Stephen to protect her, she is by no means a damsel in distress. She is smart about her safety without being weak.

Jennifer St. Giles did an amazing job of bringing the Post-Civil War trials to surface in this book. She managed to show how families were devastated by the Civil War and the steps they were forced to take to survive. She did this in a way that showed how strong these people were without making them into whiny complainers. They accepted what happened and did the best they could.

I also really liked how Ms. St. Giles brought in women's suffrage. It was very subtle in it's introduction but it' affect was profound in the story. She managed to show how women in the time believed and fought for suffrage but were often unable to make those changes in their every day lives.

I was drawn in by the mystery in the book. I was surprised by who was committing these murders. The mystery was so well written that no one was the obvious murderer, yet they were all suspects! They all had reason to commit these murders.

While I'm not normally a big fan of ghost stories, the ghost in this story really added something. Juliette could not figure out if the presence was friend or foe. It was a mystery to be solved. In the end we find out who the ghost is and what it wants.

This was an amazing story and I feel lucky to have found it!
The second book in the Trevelyan series, and a real page turner. When I read the first book I knew I had to complete the series and I was not disappointed. The author's writing held me captivated throughout this book, filled with intrigue, mystery and ghosts. The romance was perfect, the plot well planned, the scenes building the story to a climax, and the characters believable, each in their own right.
We got to know Stephen in book 1 as a disgruntled youth that fell in love with his brother's wife and ends up as a drunk. In book 2 Stephen has matured, becoming a responsible man that fell in love, this time for the right reasons. Protecting a mother and her son from an evil that they could not see. Finding his own way in the process. I was really impressed with his development.
Juliet and Andre, was left alone, trying to piece everything back again after her husband had abandoned them ten years ago. With unexplained occurrences in her household, she had to trust Stephan. She fell in love with him instantly which created its own problems.
Her son Andre, will touch the heart, seeking the truth surrounding his father's disappearance and the lies everyone wanted him to believe. Finding strength in the relationship between Stephen and Juliet. Becoming a beautiful young man.
Her sisters own stories grips the attention, each wonderfully portrait throughout the story, part of the story line that makes it more believable.
A wonderful story I can recommend.
