Publisher's Summary:
Dear Listener,
I wrote Night Shadow during the spring and summer of 1988. I had such fun with this book, particularly when the quintessential Regency bachelor meets his Waterloo.
Knight Winthrop, Viscount Castlerosse - you met him in Night Storm - is very happy with his life just the way it is. Then Lily Tremaine shows up on his doorstep claiming she was betrothed to his murdered cousin. With her are his cousins three children. She has no money, nowhere to go. Whats even worse - Ugly Arnold is hard on her heels.
Ah, so whats Knight supposed to do now? He takes them in and kisses his former life goodbye.
I hope youll laugh until your belly aches at the antics of Laura Beth, Sam, and Theo - and at how the very clever, creative Lord Castlerosse deals with this new species.
How does he deal with Lily? Listen on, youll love it.
- Catherine Coulter
Members Reviews:
not the best
If you don't care about writing or a slightly convenient character/plot development, this book isn't totally awful. For me, it's hard to enjoy because the writing quality isn't great in my opinion (which frankly distracts me from being engaged and getting pulled into the story, such as it is). I also find some of the twists and turns, in the way the hero and heroine relate to each other, a little unrealistic. Framed another way, the plot could be okay (it's a fairly standard recipe for a romance novel), but it's just difficult to get into this one.
Catherine Coulter, Night Fire Triology
The second book in this series, Night Shadow, was a great read. I enjoyed it immensely like I do all of Catherine Coulter books. It was packed with romance and action and kept me interested in same all the time
Great Love
Couldn't wait for Knight's story. It was great. He could have fought it more but the story was a fun read. Lily was a good choice for him. Live the children, it was a great touch.
Best of the three
I haven't read Night Storm yet (book #3), but considering the reviews, and how much better Night Shadow (this book; book #2) was than the first one, Night Fire (which also got poorer reviews), I'm sure this will turn out to be the best of the three.
Except for the way Knight treats Lily in the middle of the book, I loved his character. He's kind and funny and great with the kids. I thought Coulter's characterization of the children was great also. They really came alive to me. The love scenes are a bit steamy, and their first true coupling wasn't the best, but if you can live with that, you'll love this book.
ETA:I felt I should add this to my review and not only as a comment to another, after re-reading one of the other reviews:
I have to disagree with the comment about 'too much children'. Normally, I'm like that. I don't like to read a lot about kids when I'm reading a romance, but this book was an exception. Not only does the hero's choice to marry the heroine include accepting an instant family, but the children were likable, their characters were well-developed, and the scenes with them were enjoyable--often touching and or funny. All in all, I think the inclusion of the kids enhanced the plot, not detracted from it.
