Why am I passionate about this?
I love romance, a true romantic from the day I was born. I also love crime/thriller/twists and turns that keep you on the edge of your seat and wanting to turn the page. As a writer, it was the most natural choice to combine all of these to bring to you as a reader love, passion, danger, shady criminal underworld, and jaw-dropping cliffhangers mixed in with twists you never saw coming. A love story that has you hopelessly entwined with them. A beautiful backdrop of the highlands of Scotland that creates its own unique story –mystical, mighty, and carrying its own hidden dangers.
Marie's book list on leave you breathless with love, danger, and suspense
Why did Marie love this book?
Set in a time when women had little say over their lives, Mary strives to make the best out of a bad situation.
The scenes are tense, always edged in danger (something I love to bring into my own books) and it is a masterpiece in drawing you into the murky dealings on these cornish moors. Then of course there is the slow-burning love story between Jem and Mary…
