I've always loved Jennifer Blake's storytelling. Straight to the point with a certain rhythm that makes you anticipate for the next page, Ms Blake did not disappoint in "Out of the Dark," a novella that follows legendary duelist Lucien Roquelaire and shy Anne-Marie Decoulet, a New Orleans heiress.Though far from being a spinster at 20, Anne-Marie Decoulet's retiring manner has made her an odd bird among the New Orleans elite. And when they found out that she has a pet panther, people started fearing her and the panther.But Lucien Roquelaire had other plans. Intrigued by Anne-Marie's devotion to the panther and vice-versa, he wondered if she could capture his own untamed heart. But, will the lady agree to his terms?A beautiful story that I almost did not want to end. I love the graceful way that Lucien and Anne-Marie talk and communicate. Their banter is sweet yet sensual. If Jennifer Blake write a sequel on this story, I will surely buy it.
