Romance Paranormal

Amelia Sinclair's honeymoon isn't what she expected. For one thing, the man in the dark bedroom turns out to not be her new husband -- which she discovers when she stabs him. For another, the man she's been having dreams about shows up to save her by busting through her new bridegroom's bedroom door. Then Amelia finds her new groom dead in the root cellar -- apparently from fright. How did the dream man get in past all the locked doors? And how did he know she needed help, anyway? How are they going to get past the creatures surrounding her now-late husband's ancestral home to reach the safety of Wulfglen? And is this dream man cursed as everyone says he is? Is he more than a man? How else could he see in the dark and have an otherworldly strength? THE CURSED ONE is the latest episode in Ms. Thompson's Wild Wulfs of London series and is a very fun, intense, sexy, yet poignant read. Gabriel, the strong-willed, silent loner of the Wulf brothers is as likable as all the rest of the Wulf men, and is just as alpha. Amelia is the heroine we'd all like to believe we'd have been had we lived in 19th century England. Altogether, a great ending to a very good series -- or is it the end? Let's hope Ms. Thompson walks through the door she leaves open at the end and continues the saga of the Wild Wulfs of London. A very good read.

SUMMARY

Wed and widowed in one day, stunning socialite Amelia Sinclair’s honeymoon is anything but typical. Then again, neither is Amelia—rebellious and impulsive, marrying Robert Collingsworth was the one sensible thing she ever did. Now he’s dead and she must escape the vicious creatures stalking her—even if it means relying on a stranger. Well, maybe not a complete stranger. Amelia first glimpsed Gabriel Wulf years ago on the busy streets of London; since then he has haunted her dreams. But in the flesh, Gabriel is much more tantalizing than she ever dreamt, and much more complicated… Gabriel Wulf, the strong one, the sensible one—the, and the curse that plagued them, were his only priorities; there was little time for women and none for love. Now, he must protect an enticing beauty—and not just from the dangers that prowl the woods around them. Gabriel has secrets, dark ones he’s sure Amelia must never know and could never understand. But she has already awakened his heart...and the beast within. Will Amelia be the key to his salvation, or the architect of her own demise?
