5.0 out of 5 stars Love those gothics! 8 Jan 2004
By Detra Fitch TOP 500 REVIEWER VINE™ VOICE
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Makenna Lindsay had thought herself in love. Due to be wed soon, she gave in early and went to bed with the man, only to be dumped. Makenna's mother had recently passed away, leaving her alone in the world with no relatives for help. She found a deed to a small house on Carnal Cove, located on the isolated Isle of Wight. It was there she fled to lick her wounds in peace.

Makenna expected to remain secluded. She hired an older couple to do housework and maintenance. She wanted only to be alone with the beach and her music. Instead she was tempted by a widowed neighbor, Captain Nicholas Saintjohn. Against her better judgement, Makenna agreed to tudor his young son, Jonathan, in art and music. Even more, a ghost interrupted her solitude. At night she sometimes hear the sobbing of a child. Often the misty form of a young woman walking on the beach appeared. Yet no one else could see or hear the ghost. Worse, the ghost was NOT exactly friendly or harmless!

***** W-O-W! Gothic Lovers, do NOT miss this one! Author Evelyn Rogers has proven herself to be The QUEEN of Gothic Romance! This is an incredible tale that I found myself unable to put down. It has been so long since an author has written a gothic style book like the ones I fondly recall reading by Victoria Holt! I simply cannot express how wonderful this story is. Do not take a chance on missing this title, pre-order a copy if you read this before the publishing date. AWESOME! *****

By Suzie Housley - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Fate has a way of bringing two lost souls together to be joined as one . . .

Makenna Lindsey flees London to find a place where she can rebuild her shattered life and mend a heart that has been cruelly broken. Her travels lead her to the mysterious Isle of Wight. There, she finds comfort in nightly strolls along a windy stretch of beach known as Carnal Cove. Its hypnotic voice seems to call out to her, warning her of some unknown evil force. During one of these moonlight expeditions, she meets up with Captain Nicholas Saintjohn, the owner of a massive home that dominates the cliff tops overlooking the cove. Nicholas makes no secret that her presence is not welcome and he tries to discourage her from making future visits. Makenna sees intensity burned into the depths of Nicholas' eyes and the torment that he tries so hard to hide is evident by his actions. She is convinced that she will be the one able to unleash the pain that plagues him. But by doing so, will she be putting her life in jeopardy?

Things are not always as they seem . .

Captain Nicholas Saintjohn finds himself enchanted by the newcomer, Makenna Lindsey. He is unable to resist her beauty and artistic ability, which she so effortlessly displays. For her own protection, he tries to convince her to leave behind the Isle of Wight and all the hidden secrets it holds. Will he be able to convince her of the dangers that lurk in the shadows?

Through Evelyn Rogers' mesmerizing words, the reader is able to become one with THE GHOST OF CARNAL COVE. Few authors bring a story alive as vibrantly as Evelyn Rogers. All of her stories are masterfully crafted, but her Gothic romances always hold a unique quality that other authors are unable to capture. Her marvelous talent as a writer puts her in a category by herself. To say she has a true gift for storytelling is an understatement.

4.0 out of 5 stars Lovers Are Haunted By the Ghosts of Their Pasts 5 Jun 2005
By Dakota - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
THE GHOST OF CARNAL COVE by Evelyn Rogers is a gothic love story between a brooding sea captain with a past and a not-so-innocent woman literally haunted by a ghost. I liked the moody atmosphere in this novel, which well uses a stormy, isolated beach on a small island as its setting. Nicholas is a blunt hero who knows what he wants, while the heroine, Makenna, is refreshingly forward herself. The ghost is as much a character in this novel as the hero and heroine, though it is a malevolent presence intent upon doing harm.

I read THE GHOST OF CARNAL COVE in one afternoon. The writing is clean and straightforward, and the story flows well. There wasn't as much action as I'd like - or conflict between the hero and heroine - since the story more revolved around Makenna's past and the ghost. It's an entertaining book, though I can't say I loved it. There weren't any scenes that stuck out as memorable (however, I thought the dog was a nice addition). Still, GHOST was a good read. Pleasant. Like eating apple pie, not too sweet, but not too fancy, either.

FYI: Here's a couple other ghostly romances to read ... BEAUDRY'S GHOST by Carolan Ivey (Civil War), GENTLE FROM THE NIGHT by Meagan McKinney (spooky Gothic), STARDUST OF YESTERDAY by Lynn Kurland (a ghostly knight), and A PHANTOM AFFAIR by JoAnn Ferguson (sweet ghost romance).
