A Dangerous Obsession
Torn from his Romany mother's arms as a small boy, Viscount Emilian St. Xavier has spent a lifetime ignoring the whispers of "gypsy" that follow him everywhere. A nobleman with wealth, power and privilege, he does not care what the gadjos think. But when the Romany come to Derbyshire with news of his mother's murder at the hands of a mob, his world implodes. And Ariella de Warenne is the perfect object for his lust and revenge...

Ariella de Warenne's heritage assures her a place in proper society, though as a radical and independent thinker she scorns her peers' frivolous pursuits in fashion and marriage - until a Roma camp arrives at Rose Hill, and she finds herself drawn to their charismatic leader, Emilian. Even when he warns her away, threatening that he intends to seduce and destroy her, she cannot refuse him. For Ariella is just as determined to fight for their dangerous love...
Customer Reviews
A Dangerous Love
I totally enjoyed this book. I did not want to stop listening! I wish it would continue.
Unworthy of Ariella and Brenda Joyce! So disappointing...
I was so excited to get this book after the last two of Mrs Joyce where we saw Ariella at the age of 8. I gave Lady At Last 5 stars and read it twice. This one, however, was somewhat of a disappointment. The adult Ariella is exactly as expected from the child she was: beautiful with a brilliant mind and a very gentle heart. It made sense to me that she would find someone like Emilian intriguing and that she would be drawn to him. Emilian is an angry dark young man battling his own demons due to his gypsy heritage. His status as an outsider and the treatement of his people will definitely tug at Ariella's heart, I could see that. Nevertheless, the author stripped Ariella of any pride and made her acceptance and love for Emilian despite of his outrageously dishonorable, rude and selfish behavior make no sense at all. Her love for him seemed more like a self loathing and self destructive obsession to me. I can disregard him using her and treating her badly after taking her virginity, but ***spoilers*** abandoning her after her miscarriage when she needed him the most is unforgivable in my opinion. Oh yes, she tried to explain it by saying that he thought he was doing what's best for her. That is total BS and a coward's way to dodge his responsibilities. Furthermore, having Alexi escort Ariella and hand her over to Emilian unwed did not make any sense at all. The book was well written and Ariella's attraction to Emilian was palpable. I would have loved this book a great deal more if I could understand what redeeming qualities Ariella found in Emilian or if the latter behaved somewhat lovingly and honorably towards her. He treated her like dirt and she came back for more. I would have liked to see him chase after her once. Even at the end, she was the one who fought for their marriage and all he had to do was show up. Disappointing indeed!
iTunes WAY OVERPRICED!
Again iTunes way overpriced, the book is $5 at Wal-Mart
