About this ebook
"One of the supreme writers of gothic romance, a compelling storyteller whose gripping novels have thrilled millions."—RT Book Reviews
She's torn between two men.
One man is her destiny.
The other is her demise.
According to legend, a girl will see her future husband at the time of the hunter's moon. But when the handsome stranger revealed to Cordelia Grant disappears after an all-too-brief encounter, she has to wonder: Was he merely an apparition...or something more?
The memory of her mysterious gentleman continues to haunt Cordelia when Sir Jason Verringer comes calling. It's rumored the dashing land baron murdered his wife and mistress. But Cordelia knows, better than anyone, not to believe in society gossip. And there's no denying that Jason is dangerously compelling. Her future hinges on one choice.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This book could have been better than it was. The plot in itself was interesting, and the development okay, but Holt missed opportunities to increase the suspense and the connections, padded the narrative with too much repetition, and presented an otherwise clever heroine as dumber than the readers.Most people are, of course, because dots are hard to connect in real time, but it wasn't a case of being convincingly dull-witted, just a plot-device for the author's benefit.Also, the idea that one's heroine MUST marry the Reformed Rake is NOT plausible, given some of the events: even she baulked at maintaining contact after he tried to forcibly rape her and admitted he wanted to do it because "she needed to be set free" of her inhibitions .On the subject of post-historical-period-Romances, the comparison of Holt (a really good practitioner) to Austen (who lived in the time of which she wrote) could be illuminating. Holt is visibly trying to shoehorn modern sensibilities into the past, while keeping the window-dressing intact, and it doesn't really quite work, because of her need to stay within the stereotyped parameters of the genre (see Spoler Alert above).Austen just told it like it was.PS The time period was never definitively specified, overtly or by historical references. The use of trains and horse-drawn vehicles narrows it somewhat.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Superb! Loved it!! Can't wait to read it again in the future.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I read all of Victoria Holt's novels during my pre-teen years before I started high school. YA didn't exist back then. We had Sweet Valley, Babysitters club, etc. but not much to fill the gap from middle school to high school. I forgot some of her books but this one stands out in my mind. I recall mocking the love interest after his attempted rape. "You hate me that much?!?"I read this book no later than 1994 so please don't hold it against me if that scene was in another Holt novel.I had rewritten Jane Eyre scenes back then where Rochester's arm grew back. There was no Edward Cullen to snark on back in the barren waste land of the mid '90s. {Little did I know Angel was just a couple of years away on Buffy to satisfy teen need for silly melodrama.]
