Jack the Ripper was the name that was given to an unidentified serial killer in 1800's London. He typically murdered female prostitutes, mutilating them after slitting their throats and removed some of their internal organs. This case, has been widely discussed, researched, and even been highly subjected to speculation; from some people thinking that the killer was a doctor to the possibility of other worldly influences. As you can tell, the killer was never caught. However, this case has inspired several works of Fiction; such as Robyn DeHart's novel The Secrets of Mia Danvers.The Jack the Ripper case has always fascinated me and, after reading this book, I am even more intrigued. I felt like I was transported back to that time and place. It kept me so intrigued that I forgot some of my other responsibilities just so I could keep reading until the end. Who knew a historical romance, with a main character who is blind, could be so hot!? As most of you know, I've never been a fan of historical romances, but Robyn DeHart has changed my mind in the past, and she has done it again with this book.One thing that is really hard to accomplish is having description when your main character is blind. But, this author did it expertly. I absolutely fell in love with the characters. Alex was not only swoon-worthy and romantic, but he was a bit of a rebel as well. He was so sexy that it was kind of inappropriate for the time period. He was gorgeous AND sweet.Even though it didn't end the way I was expecting, this book was expertly written and had me entranced through every page; I could not stop reading! It was so well written that I was sad when it ended, but I can not wait for the sequel. I hope and pray to Mother Nature that there will be a sequel... The author informed me that it comes out in November, so we're safe.Pick up your copy today!
