Romantic Times: (Four1/2 Stars Exceptional) TOP PICK

"With this thrilling adventure of the heart, Julia Ross establishes herself as a powerful, distinctive force in the evolution of the romance genre. . . . A new legend in heroes, (her) mercurially complex prince embodies every woman's secret desire . . . Darkly erotic and sensually stunning . . . will enslave your heart."

Mary Balogh—best-selling author:

"Brilliant! Passionate, complex and compelling. The best book of any genre I have read in a long, long while. Don't miss this beautifully written, intensely satisfying love story. I am in awe."

Jo Beverley—best-selling author:

"I thoroughly enjoyed My Dark Prince. If you enjoy exciting, enthralling, wonderfully-written romance, read this book."

Margot Early—best-selling author:

"You must buy this book! No romance I’ve read in years can match it for emotion, for provoking immediate response. None brings characters so immediately to life. Richness, depth, triumph of the human spirit over adversity, irresistible people—all with a touch of EVER AFTER. Gypsies and faeries fill the smoke of the vividly drawn historical backdrop. From the first spellbinding pages, you’ll feel those small prickles of awareness that remind you these are human beings and their plight matters; they must win that most precious gift of healing—love."

Heart Rate Reviews:  "Heart Beat Award"

"A breathtaking story with simply outstanding characters. You will laugh, you will cry, you will feel the pain and the thrill of adventure. . . . bold, real and complex . . . and the passion.  Oh, the passion!  I was totally entranced."

Harriet Klausner:  "Five Stars"

"Fast-paced, but clearly belongs to the characters. The lead couple is a divine pair . . ."

Rendezvous:

"A suspenseful, riveting story . . . with outstanding characters."

The Romance Reader:  "Five Hearts"

"A powerful story of the redemptive power of love . . . that leaves me in awe. This is an extremely well-crafted story that succeeds in making what should be unbelievable seem perfectly reasonable.  Impressive!  Loads of danger and adventure . . . But what makes this such a compelling story is the . . . romance.  I am going to want to revisit (this) story, which is, after all, the definition of a "keeper."

Suzanne Coleburn (The Belles and Beaux):  "Five Stars"

"A writer to be savored . . . characters are very complex, deep, well developed . . . fascinate and mesmerize you in a magical dance as an unforgettable love story  . . . sweeps you up in a maelstrom of feelings.  The desire is palpating and sensual.  Wow!  My Dark Prince is a keeper!  Unusual, stunning and unforgettable."

All About Romance:  "B"

"The book took wings and soared.  Filled with complications and dangers - real dangers.  Fans of tortured heroes will adore Nicholas . . . A tale that will grab you and compel you to finish it in one sitting."

Mrs. Giggles:  "85"

"Prince Nicholas is one of the most mesmerizing men to grace my reading in a long, long time.  I actually cried at the ending. . . . kept me reading and enthralled even long after the last page."
