Review
“Absorbing. The setting is authentic down to the smallest detail. History buffs will be thrilled.”
--Romantic Times BOOKreviews (4 ½ stars) on Roman Dusk
“A darkly poetic blend of historical fiction, erotic romance, and literary horror. One of the beauties of Yarbros Saint-Germain saga is that every novel is basically a stand-alone story. Those looking for a highly intelligent, tastefully understated erotic horror will be absolutely blown away.”
--BookPage on Roman Dusk
“States of Grace is without a doubt one of the finest novels Ive read in quite a while. It is rich and heady in plot and sensory imagery.”
