Romance Lovers for the Challenge-Impaired discussion

On gothrom.net it says "the necessary elements of a true gothic romance--heroine in peril, isolated setting, hero of questionable motives."

I finished reading Dark Obsession: A Novel of Blackheath Moor by Allison Chase which was okay. I'm that we can discuss gothic romance, and get some book/ author recs in this thread. Thanks!

I think the standard definition has changed over the years. I've always been a Goth Rom fan, classic or modern. I cut my romance reading teeth on Mom's old Gothics by the likes of Victoria Holt, Phillippa Carr, Barbara Michaels, etc.

A modern Gothic favorite author of mine is Eve Silver. LOVE her stuff. She's gone away from Gothics lately and has tried a few different types or paranormal romance (all dark in tone like Gothics) but I still love her. Have ALL her books.

I have Dark Desires and His Dark Kiss by Eve Silver. I forgot I had them until I read your post. Now, I have to go dig them out!

I've read Masquerade in Venice and and enjoyed both. Also The Countess wasn't bad when I read it (though that was 10 years ago or so).

Here's another one by Eve Silver:
