Swamp Secrets

By Carla Cassidy

Photographer Lindsey Witherspoon controls the images that meet her eyes with her camera. But the swamp is beyond her control. It beckons with a promise of beauty never yet captured on film, and is, in truth, a place where a woman should not walk alone and find herself with a man like Royce Blanchard: a man who warns her that his last woman had come into the swamp and died.

A classic Silhouette Shadows contemporary gothic romance returns

Lindsey Witherspoon had left disillusionment and the bustle of D.C. behind to regroup in the quaint southern town of Baton Bay. She was immediately taken with the picturesque mansion, bordering the swamp, that would be her home for the duration of her college roommate's European vacation. But it was the swamp itself that the budding photographer found irresistibly compelling. Her ex-fiancé had laughed at his former secretary's dream of becoming a professional, but his opinion had ceased to matter after she'd caught him in bed with the woman she'd hired to replace herself in his office. Now she had ample time to test her skill with her camera. He emerged from out of the swamp, in search of his only friend. Instead he found a lovely stranger who could easily become a threat to his wounded heart and his tenuous grip on sanity. Everyone had warned Lindsey to avoid Royce Blanchard. The warning was in the note that her friend had left her, and in the voices of the townsfolk who called him Swamp Man, and told stories about him to scare their children. Even the man himself had warned her to stay away from him. Rumor had it that the last woman who had gone with him into the swamp had never returned, a fact that he'd confirmed, hoping to drive Lindsey away. But the torment in his moss green eyes told another story, one of loss and intense suffering that pulled at her, and drew her deeper and deeper into the swamp that she had come to love nearly as much as the lonely madman that dwelled within it. This is a dark, edgy tale of one man's battle with life-long prejudice, which had become a private battle to remain sane when his only hope for happiness was ripped away as suddenly as it had been offered. Tense one minute, and tender the next, Lindsay is never sure if he'd be her salvation or her destruction. In the end the only thing that matters is that she loves him. -- Reviewed for PNR Reviews

A VERY ENJOYABLE READ!!!!!!!!

If you like romance with a twist, then this is the book for you! I have read several of Carla Cassidy's books and have thoroughly enjoyed them all. Her books always grab you from the beginning and are hard to put down. Dreamscapes is a great series of romance with twists on the paranormal side which add spice and mystery to the average romance novel. This book and the others in the Dreamscape series are a delicious change of pace and makes you crave the next one. Each book is a novel within itself and therefore you don't have to read them in order and it doesn't get boring!
