I like the new type of Gothic Novels. Leslie is trying to pitch one now that has sexual tension, but no perversion. It is a great ‘beauty and the beast’ style story without following the template.  Her book, Mark of the  Monster, is on my list of ‘to read’ - as soon as it is out.

Leslie gave me a sneak peak. I just love books that torture the hero.

 The hero believes he murdered a woman in the past, sees visions of it. He is physically scarred on his face from the event. But can’t remember it fully and so doesn’t knnow what actually happened.

Can you remember when all romance authors worked hard to torturn the hero, both physically and emotionally. They made the best stories. :)
