“In her latest, Phillips takes all the iconic elements of
those classic gothic novels of the 1960s and ’70s and
deftly combines them with her own signature literary
calling cards of realistically quirky yet all too relatable
characters, polished writing, tart humor, and an
abundance of potent sexual chemistry. The result is
another romance to treasure from one of the genre’s
superstars, and proof positive that good things come
to those readers who wait.”
