More About This Book

Overview

Only Caroline knows the truth about her husband, the brilliant psychoanalyst whose list of patients includes some of Washington, D.C.'s, most celebrated. Caroline has seen the darkest side of this cruel, controlling psychopath who watches her every move. With only a few precious minutes allotted to her, escape is now or never. Caroline must run for her life . . . as far and fast as she can.

But even two thousand miles isn't far enough. A new identity, new town, and new love—rugged pro-footballer-turned-outdoorsman Ken Kincaid—won't protect her. Because Caroline knows Porter will never stop until he's hunted her down.

And there will be a reckoning . . .

Editorial Reviews

Publishers Weekly
Romantic comedy author Carroll (The True Match) brings tight prose and excellent pacing to her tense first thriller. Caroline Hughes abandons her abusive, controlling psychiatrist husband, hoping to begin a new life with a new name, but Dr. Porter Moross, a Freudian analyst who's more psycho than therapist, willingly destroys his life and career in a mad effort to track his elusive wife across the country. Finding shelter in a tiny mountain town, Caroline meets divorced football player Ken Kincaid, but their romance sometimes seems wedged into a story mostly focused on Porter's madness and Caroline's fear. Porter is both terrifying and sympathetic, while Caroline seems almost waifish until an unexpected and satisfying ending makes it clear that she's not just waiting for Ken to save her. Suspense fans who like a touch of romance will find this a winner. (Sept.)

    This book is ok if you don't want a deep plot or character analysis. Predictable.

    same ole same old

    the theme of this book has been done over and over, just not as bad. The main character, Caroline, is pathetic and simpering. The bad guy, hubby, has been stereotypically described in the physical sense, there is no real discerning as to why she initially fell in love with him. Furthermore, her falling for the "good" guy was high school amatuerish, as though the author is stil caught up in the love at first sight notion. The book is predictable and there is no real romance, I can't fathom why the good guy would ever fall for such a weak character. Waste of money, for sure.

    I only wish she would write more books!

    I loved this book also! The small hints of what her life was like scattered throughout the book added to the mystery. A good read. I couldn't put it down!

    A Dark Love...a great book by a great new author

    I loved A Dark Love! Margaret Carroll proved herself to be a wonderful storyteller with a talent for writing. I picked up this book and couldn't put it down, and the with such vivid description I could actually imagine myself in the beautiful Colorado mountains and the bustling streets of Washington D.C. A wonderful choice for anyone, there is a draw for all types of readers. Enjoy!

    more from this reviewer

    This is a super suspense thriller

    In DC Caroline Hughes knows she has had enough from her famous martinet husband, Dr. Porter Moross whose abuse could leave her dead. She believes that if she gets a new identity and relocates in some isolated area across the other side of the Mississippi he would not stalk her Though he will search for her, Peter would never give up being Freudian psychotherapist to a Washington who's who.

    On a Greyhound Caroline makes good her escape, accompanied by Pippin the Yorkie, finding shelter two thousand miles from DC as Alice Stevens. There she meets divorced football player Ken Kincaid; both have reasons to not see one another, but the attraction is strong. However, Caroline miscalculated Porter's obsession or his panic attacks as he is coming ever closer paying a PI to find her and willing to give up his practice to take care of personal business.

    This is a super suspense thriller that hooks the audience from the moment Caroline leaves and builds up the tension as readers anticipate Porter confronting her. The romantic subplot between Caroline and Ken feels forced and unnecessary as little Caroline can stand on her own. Fans will appreciate the aptly title A DARK LOVE; knowing the obsessed Peter is coming for his beloved.
