Fiction. Romance. HTML:Passion, wealth, and murder come together in this unputdownable thriller from the New York Times bestselling "queen of romantic suspense" (Booklist) Linda Howard.
Roanna Davenport grew up a wealthy orphan on her grandmother's magnificent estate, Davencourt. There, she wanted for nothingâ??except to be loved by her cousin Webb. When he marries another, Roanna is devastated but life at Davencourt takes an even darker turn when Webb's new wife is found bludgeoned to death.

After the shocking murder, Webb leaves for Arizona, abandoning the privileged life that he had once believed was all he wanted. Years later, a grown-up Roanna walks back into his life to bring him home. He's shocked that the mischievous sprite he had known in childhood has disappeared. Gone, too, is her passionate fire; in its place is ice that melted at his touch but Webb can't help but be drawn back to Davencourt, to Roanna, and to the killer that once destroyed his life and waits only for the chance to finish the job.

With Linda Howard's signature "fast-paced, intricately detailed romantic suspense" (Fresh Fiction), Shades of Twilight will keep you riveted until the last pa

I loved this book. I am very fond of romances that start when the hero and heroine are children and we get to see their story over time. This was different and interesting. If you only like one type of story and get squeeked out when the plot has some unsavory elements, you might not like it. I pretty much have a cast iron stomach when it comes to that sort of thing. It's fiction and not only that, the stuff that people object to in this book i.e., incest (not the hero or heroine!) it happens therefore it's fair game in a fiction book, IMO. I liked how her character developed and how she learned to contain her feelings because she saw how wearing her heart on her sleeve had led to disaster. I have a tendency to like a cool collected heroine anyway and I like it when the hero doesn't really know how she feels and has to work to earn her love. If you liked Dallas and Falcon Crest back in the day, you should love this. ( )

Roanna and Webb are distant second cousins. 7 year old Roanna is left orphaned when her parents die in a car accident. She comes to live with her grandmother at Davencourt, her families rich estate. She does not feel welcome by her family, they treat her as if she is not wanted, but only Webb is there to protect her and make her feel safe. Roanna grows up developing a huge crush on Webb and practically worships him. She tries out her burgeoning feelings for him in a kiss that sets of a cataclysim of events. Webb and his wife Jessie, Roanna's other cousin, have a fight and threaten each other with divorce. That very night,Jessie ends up dead.

This one is dated, which is why the heroine lacks a real backbone. But overall, it is a passionate love story/mystery. You will be surprised when the killer is revealed. ( )

Well it was boring for the most part in the beginning but as u read on it gets interesting and there are the few spots of the steamy areas of the book but only adds more to the story and u will not put down the book even tho it switches from one persons side of the story to another's view of the story it isn't hard to follow along and not get lost as to what they are talking about. I love how Linda holds the suspense above your head making u think whats going to happen next. I love a love story mixed into drama and a murder scene. I really do believe ive found one of my favorite authors!!! Im going to be reading more of her work!!!! ( )

A touch more romance than suspense, but a great story. ( )
