Reviews

[Alison · Rating 4 out of 5]

With the revelations of the end of book 2 we head straight into the fire pit that is Westmore.

Surprised and angered to find Rose there, Bruce make plans for their escape. Only Rose has other plans.

A gripping and thriling end to the Dancing For The Devil trilogy.

Will definately be seeking out more books from this author.

[Shell Baker · Rating 5 out of 5]

I couldn't wait to get started with this third book in the series which has totally gripped me and I sure as hell wasn't disappointed with the grande finale. I found myself on the edge of my seat itching to know what was going to happen. I couldn't turn the pages quick enough and devoured it in one sitting.

Having followed Rose on a rollercoaster journey to from book one be to reunited with her husband.In Sword Dance all the lies and secrets unfold where we learn the trust about the diary and letter,with some shocking turns and twists which I wasn't expecting.
This story is packed full of drama, lies and deceit and of course some steamy scenes to this is a very enjoyable series. But Sword Dance was definitely the best one for me. I feel gutted it has come to an end.

I will without a doubt be reading more of Marie Laval books. I highly recommend this book and the whole series giving it 4.5 stars

This is a series that must be read in order. WOW Overall 4.5 stars.
I suggest you grab all parts at once as you won't want to wait for the story to continue.
Action, spies, betrayal, danger -- and a very complicated romance.
Add in a touch of superstition and the supernatural.

Well written. I appreciated the characters staying true to their nature but also showing growth.
It kept my interest from that wonderful first paragraph in the first book, through the heartbreaking moment Rose sails off. But wait! There's more!
I won't give away the ending. Just know the action and conflict continues.

I was given the three books in this series to review.
