Savannah Evans is taking time off from her graduate classes to attend a prestigious art colony, Les Beaux Arts.  This is a once in a lifetime chance for the poet. The quiet island, the castle, and other artists are a wonderful influence on her work. Another influence she wasn’t counting on was the castle owner Antoine Chevalier. Savannah quickly finds herself hopelessly attracted to the mysterious gentleman, and the attraction is far from one sided.Savannah seems to me to be someone who lives in her world of the arts.  She is a poet, but appreciative of the arts in all forms. She doesn’t seem like one with a terrible lack of confidence, but Antoine brings forth boldness in her.  Her relationship with Antoine is also sort of a journey of self-discovery. She is also intuitive; she is able to sense there is more to Antoine that meets the eye.  Antoine is mysterious, sexy, and more than an ordinary man.  Although he is there to encourage the artists in his castle there is a sense that he is a secretive man, but he sees something in Savannah he can’t stay away from.Carlisle gives readers a blend of the paranormal and the erotic. This novella was a very enjoyable read for me. The setting on DeRoche Island was beautiful, and felt like it was from another time. The chemistry between Savannah and Antoine is sure to draw the reader in as well.Dark Velvet is the first novella in the Chateau Seduction series. I am very excited to read Carlisle’s next installment!*Reviewed by Teresa D. for ThatsErotica.com*
