"a paranormal, historical romance with great period feel"
David Barrett, the Earl of Dunreith, has been in love with
his
neighbor, Victoria Caldwell, since they were children.
Because there
are rumors that Victoria plans to accept an offer of
marriage, David
takes matters into his own hands and sets out to compromise
Victoria
using a spell. Unfortunately, David has secrets that
threaten to tear
the couple apart. ONE FOR LOVE is a paranormal, historical romance with great
period
feel and wonderful characters. At first, I had doubts
about David's
character, after all, he uses a spell to aid in his
seduction of
Victoria. Luckily, David soon redeems himself and becomes
a yummy
hero--reserved and aloof on the outside with strong hidden
depths and
passions. Victoria is no shrinking violet and is a great
match for
David. Even though that is the case, Victoria acts in a
way consistent
with a regency lady. Kudos to Ms. Wilde for the accuracy
of her period
details! All in all, ONE FOR LOVE is highly recommended to the
paranormal
reader and the regency reader.

| SUMMARY |
|
Diabolical, deliberate seduction takes some planning...and maybe a little dark magic. David Barrett, the Earl of Dunreith, has a reputation for being calm, cool and distant. He's the last man anyone would think would compromise a young woman, but he has his reasons--not to mention a very wicked secret he carefully hides from the world. Victoria Caldwell isn't exactly sure how it happened, but all of a sudden her world is upside down. Apparently the man she's always viewed as a mild-mannered friend is instead a passionate lover, capable of luring her into wild, wanton behavior. Even more bewildering, she finds out nothing about David is as it seems and the enigma both intrigues and frightens her. Is he the intelligent, even-tempered man she's known for years, or something else entirely? As the past starts to play havoc with the future, both David and Victoria find a single pivoting decision can summon up all forms of demons, if even if the choice is one made for love...
