Reseña de Dark Angel + giveaway

¡Quién me hubiera dicho a mí hace unos meses que acabaría leyendo ebooks! Aunque prefiero el papel, me estoy aficionando a leer en mi precioso E-Reader. Gracias al cual, he conseguido acceso a varios ebooks que me están encantando. Uno de ellos es DARK ANGEL, un cuento gótico que aúna magia, elementos paranormales oscuros, misterios por doquier, un romance subidito de tono y un final totalmente divergente.

DARK ANGEL - T. J. BENNETT - 303 páginas - editorial Entangled Edge - año de publicación 2013 - ebook - género gótico paranormal romántico - Amazon link

Con esta portada tan romántica pero siniestra, la escritora relata la aventura de una mujer que sufre un terrible naufragio. Es la única superviviente que acaba en una isla maldita. Nada más despertar sabe que algo extraño sucede. Sus heridas parecen ínfimas comparadas con el destrozo que debería haber acabado con su vida. Mientras se recupera, el señor del castillo desarrolla una intensa fascinación hacia ella. No es para menos. Ni un solo desconocido ha llegado a las orillas de la isla en incontables años. Y lo peor de todo es que tampoco puede salir nadie. Desde ese momento, Catherine pone todo su empeño en resolver los misterios que rodean la isla y su dominante amo.

Se las tendrá que ver con muchos frentes abiertos: sus propias dudas acerca de los misterios imposibles que marcan la vida en la isla, la imponente presencia de Gerard quien está decidido a conquistarla en contra de toda moral, los peligros que encierra la niebla, y sobre todo los lastres del pasado. Tanto Gerard como ella guardan muchos secretos. Una de las cosas que más me han gustado de la novela es su protagonista femenina. No es una doncella inexperta, sino todo lo contrario. Ya ha vivido mucho y ha perdido mucho. Todo ello supone un fuerte acicate para volver al mundo que ha dejado atrás violentamente, pero también una barrera para confiar en Gerard. Habrá un gran duelo de voluntades entre ellos, aderezado por varias escenas románticas que elevan el ritmo cardíaco bastante a menudo. El héroe es bastante oscuro y mandón, pero no pierde ni una pizca de sensualidad en el proceso.

Aunque luego está la parte mágica y gótica. Hay poderes ocultos en la isla que explican por qué la población desarrolla tan peculiar comportamiento y su vasallaje al gran señor del castillo. Además, en la isla campa una criatura aterradora. Todos estos elementos se conjugan en un final apoteósico que quizás se iba esbozando, pero me ha dejado bastante sorprendida. En cuanto al estilo narrativo de la autora, me ha parecido lo bastante rico como para describir la atmósfera, las costumbres y el misterio sin pesar sobre el ritmo.

Estoy muy contenta de haberla leído, ya que siento debilidad por los poderes mágicos, las parejas apasionadas, las maldiciones y las protagonistas inteligentes. 

Además, participo en la promoción de otras novelas que se publican al mismo tiempo. Esta promoción incluye varios sorteos pero me parece que sólo es internacional el premio de la tarjeta Amazon. Comprobad bien si podéis participar en estos sorteos, por favor.

Dark Angel by TJ Bennett

When young widow Catherine Briton is washed ashore, the sole survivor of a violent shipwreck, all she wants is to go home to London. But injured as she is, she can’t escape when a shadowy stranger rescues her and takes her to his castle—where she’s healed with suspicious, almost magical speed.

The more time Catherine spends in the castle, the more her curiosity rises where her fiercely handsome new “master,” Gerard, is concerned. As she begins to investigate, though, her discoveries only bring more questions. It seems Gerard isn't the only one on the island keeping secrets…

The small town is full of strange mysteries and townspeople who know more than they should about her. And when a hulking beast that stalks the nearby hills and valleys catches up to her, Catherine must figure out what’s going on before it’s too late.

Far Too Tempting by Lauren Blakely

British, gorgeous, and way too tempting, Matthew’s the first guy Jane’s been attracted to since her husband. As she spends more time with him and their relationship heats up, though, so does her writer’s block. How can the queen of the break-up pen the perfect follow-up when she’s seriously in love?
