Evelyn Rogers has helped revitalize the gothic romance genre; she takes the classic gothic elements and turns them into something new and contemporary. The atmosphere is dark and sinister, and the hero is appropriately handsome and moody. But the heroine is no shrinking violet and she is also quite intelligent. This is the thinking woman's gothic romance: passionate, thrilling and wildly entertaining. Reprinted with permission from The Internet Writing Journal®. Copyright © 1997-2011 by Writers Write, Inc.
