I truly enjoyed reading "A Dark Love." It was always suspenseful and fast paced. I loved how the author explored the character's emotions and motivations. I loved following Caroline's journey to a new life without fear. I loved her resilience and bravery and how she didn't depend on anyone else to save her. Finally, I loved how Caroline had a hopeful future with a wonderful man at last (Ken).
Margaret Carroll made me feel strongly positive toward certain characters (Caroline, Ken, Gus, Nan) and extremely antagonistic toward Porter. When I read how Porter would take the events of Caroline's childhood trauma and use them against her, I just wanted to hurt him myself. Although a small part of me found it difficult to understand how she could ever fall for someone like Porter, her abusive childhood played a huge role in why she was drawn to someone so damaged. This book was well written. I was thoroughly engaged by Caroline and rooted for her from page one.
My only complaint is that the cover doesn't represent Porter at all because that man is way too hot while Porter was just ... not. On the other hand, it got me to buy the book and I'm certainly glad I did. Five stars for a great read. I'm looking forward to other books written by this author. | | | | A Dark Love Nov 29, 2009 |
When Caroline Hughes was still a carefree college student with hopes and dreams for the future, she met Dr. Porter Moross, who quickly crushed all of them. Years later, Caroline is running for her life from Porter's emotional, physical, and sexual abuse. Caroline heads to the peaceful town of Storm Pass, Colorado. It's everything Caroline ever wanted but could never have with Porter. Ex-football player Ken Kincaid and the charming people of Storm Pass welcome Caroline with open arms, but Caroline knows she is on borrowed time. Porter will eventually find her and when he does, he'll kill her and anyone else that gets in his way.
If Porter is the monster in Caroline's nightmares, then Ken is her handsome and charming knight in shining armor. Caroline ultimately saves herself, literally and figuratively. Porter wasn't just abusive, he was psychotic. The glimpses into Caroline's painful past and her abusive marriage to Porter make her self preservation that much more triumphant. While the empathetic part of me feels sorry for any tortured soul, Porter is a very sick and twisted man and it's impossible to show him compassion. Caroline is lucky to have gotten out alive. I was on the edge of my seat waiting for when and how Porter would strike. A Dark Love is a riveting thriller with a heart-warming romance.

This book was very suspensful from beginning to end!
One of the best books I've read in the last year or so... | | | | A Dark Love Nov 5, 2009 |
I enjoyed A Dark Love for many reasons and on many levels. I was immediately drawn into the novel - there is an urgent need for a woman to escape from her husband - why? What follows is an exciting drama that explores the crumbling mind of a psychopath, the torment of a failed marriage, and the search for renewal. The plot is a chase which skillfully weaves together present and past, city and country, and darkness and light. With each turn the characters are further developed and the dangers grow - you can't help being drawn in. The chase intensifies with each page until you cannot put it down. The ending does not disappoint.
Thanks Ms. Carroll for a unique and well written tale. I hope you plan to continue writing and I look forward to your next work.

What a fun, intensely suspenseful ride. Stayed up until 3 am reading. It's fast paced, it's sexy and it's incredibly well written.
Caroline Hughes is on the run from her brilliant, successful and verrrry creepy husband, Porter, and from the first page you know he's going to find her. Somehow... The suspense is so tight, I found myself turning pages all night. Oh, and there's of course the very sexy Ken Kincaid, rugged ex pro-footballer, who might be able to show Caroline what real love is all about. That is if he and Caroline survive... The final twist left me very pleasantly surprised. Can't wait for the next book from this fun new author. | | | Write your own review about A Dark Love
