    New York Times bestselling author Samantha James has captured the hearts of readers everywhere with her dramatic love stories of fiery passion, intense emotion, and unforgettable sensuality. Now, Samantha has created a spellbinding romance between two people whose passion defies all logic--yet cannot be denied.

    The Vicar's Daughter

    Forced to leave her home in the vicarage, proud and resolute Olivia Sherwood has hired on at Ravenwood Hall, where preparation for the new earl's arrival is underway. At first glance, Olivia stands transfixed by the dashing gallant with eyes dark and gleaming in the moonlight. Though his origins are shadowed in secrets, and Olivia knows better than to trust a man she's never met, she is intoxicated by him.The Dark Earl

    Crossing the threshold of his new home, Dominic St. Bride, the Earl of Ravenwood, sees suspicion in the faces of everyone surrounding him--for his staff knows of his illegitimate birth and dubious background. Yet, the radiant face of a beautiful servant intrigues him. Although the familiar wariness flares in her eyes, Dominic senses a smoldering desire there as well, and he determines to claim her. But can his passionate soul win the unlikely devotion of a defiant maid--thereby redeeming him with her unconditional love?

    Samantha James

    It was Samantha James's love of reading as a child that steered her toward a writing career. Among her favorites in those days were the Trixie Belden and Cherry Ames series of books. She still loves a blend of mystery and romance, and, of course, a happily-ever-after ending. The award-winning, New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of many romances and one novella, her books have ranged from medieval to Regency.

    • 4/5
      3.5/5. A tad melodramatic but still enjoyable and with likeable characters.
    • 2/5
      The storyline had so much promise but it just didn't deliver for me. I found the characters exasperating.
    • 4/5
      It's a good historical romantic read
    • 3/5
      Yes, I read this too fast. In fact, I've memorized the book so many times that it got stuck in my head. Samantha James was one of my favourite historical romance author when I was around 15 years old. I have all her books in a row and memorize each one of them. Funny huh? I think the story is very sweet and lovely.

      Its about a half-gypsy half-english Earl who went back to his father's house after his father's death. He nearly hit Olivia (yay) with his carriage and he got curious with her. Some back story, antagonists and antiracial/romance subplot later, its quite a decent story.
    • 5/5
      Samantha James is one of my favorite historical romance authors. She develops great characters and is truly gifted in telling a good romance story. One of her best is "One Moonlit Night". I just loved this book. Loved the characters, the plot, the setting and of course the romance. The story is about Dominic St. Bride, the bastard gypsy heir and the vicar's daughter Olivia Sherwood who because of hard times becomes the Earl's servant at Ravenwood Hall. The attraction is there from the beginning and so are all the obstacles between them. First, he's a Earl and she's a servant. Secondly, he's a gypsy (shunned by many) and her father was murdered just the year before by a gypsy and she's more than a bit nervous around gypsies. And lastly, she is caring for her blind sister who was struck blind by a blow to the head because of the murdering gypsy. The sexual and sensual tension between Dominic and Olivia is tangible from the get go and the Duke finds himself jealous of the young man who wants to marry Olivia and determined to make Olivia his for good. Good historical romance with engaging characters.
