Black Widow Bride
by Tessa
Radley
Multi-layered
romance exceeds debut label!
Tessa Radley's romance far exceeds the
debut label. Black Widow Bride
is a complete with passionate emotions, complex multi-layered
characters, an intriguing plot and a magnificent surprise ending. The
passion sparks between the two main characters with an electricity on
the edge of exploding. They hate each other! Tessa Radley transforms
that electricity into a depth and passion not just of the bodies but of
the soul, a love born from the past deep sadness within her characters.
The emotions are passionate, the betrayals deep and the past histories
complex. Radley creates rich characters not often found in short
romances by balancing the immediate emotion with complex character
histories. She reveals the past layer upon layer as the plot develops,
building the suspense through her characters.
The scenes between Rebecca and her son T.J. are some of the best
kid scenes I have read and so integrated into the plot. Radley creates
a portrait of a mother's deep love and a child's curiosity without any
of the sappy or overplayed sentimentality or cuteness I see too much
elsewhere, especially on television. Very nice indeed!
The ending was a nice surprise. I expected one thing --- it just
had to be that way ---- that is the typical formula... but I was wrong!
Such a nice and welcome complication!

From the back
cover:
Her attempt at seduction the night
before his marriage had nearly
been his undoing. Wealthy businessman Damon Asteriades had pushed aside
all thoughts of brash Rebecca Grainger for years, until circumstances
forced him to bring her back to his family's estate. There was no
reason for him to become further involved with the woman society had
dubbed the black widow bride…save the intense passion that still burned
hot between them.
That, and a three-year-old secret she
was protecting.
