This book started well, but about 100 pages in when you start to learn more about the "hero" to me he wasn't what I like or want in a hero. He was wimpy and didn't particularly come across as a strong man. When I read a romance be it historical or paranormal I like a confident hero with swagger and grit. This book did not deliver on this. The heroine was stronger than the man and to me that's not how a good romance should be. The story it self did not hold my interest either by 2/3 way through the book I was skimming pages just to be done with it.

I don't think I'll be reading Ms. Rickloff again.

Catriona OConnell Cat is tasked with stealing a diary from Aidan Douglas, Earl of Kilronan. This sets into motion an adventure that keeps you turning these pages and wondering about the mystery of Other and their strange world. Men and women who have a mix of Fey and human blood are considered Other and must hide or face persecution. Cat must rely on these powers to survive in the slums of Dublin. She is caught by Aidan and is given only one choice, either translate this mysterious diary of he will throw her in jail. Aidan knows what she is and needs to use her for her abilities. What he didnt plan on is falling for the vixen. She captivates him and he doesnt know how much longer he will be able to keep his distance.

As they discover the secrets they find themselves being targeted and must live to be able to solve the mystery of the diary. To do this they must accept the help of the Amhasdraoi, who Aidan absolutely abhors but as a falls head of heels for Cat, he must protect her and he cant do it himself.

Fast-paced and full of mystery and interesting characters makes Earl of Darkness a delicious read. Cat is a feisty heroine and Aidan is just plain yummy!
