Tangled Memories is different from my normal contemporary romances. In a way, it defies classification. It’s a contemporary romance set in Kentucky.
At the same time, it is a typical Gothic romance with the young heroine, mysterious hero, and threatening mansion.
From Infoplease.com: During the 1960s so-called Gothic novels became enormously popular in England and the United States. Seemingly modeled on Charlotte Brontë’s Jane Eyre and Daphne du Maurier’s Rebecca, these novels usually concern spirited young women, either governesses or new brides, who go to live in large gloomy mansions populated by peculiar servants and precocious children and presided over by darkly handsome men with mysterious pasts. Popular practitioners of this genre are Mary Stewart, Victoria Holt, Catherine Cookson, and Dorothy Eden.
Tangled Memories is a paranormal because of the flashbacks to medieval England. These flashbacks are not dreams, but remembrances of past lives. At a state fair many years ago, I was introduced to the concept of reincarnation. My daughter wanted her palm read by a “gypsy” at a medieval faire. I had my palm read too and was surprised when the palm-reader told me I had known my ex-husband in a “former life.” The potential of using reincarnation in a book was apparent to me from that first introduction.
The book is written in first and third person. Readers who miss old-fashioned Gothic romances buy this book. I like to think it’s a good story and an enjoyable read with a happily-ever-after ending.
4 Star Review from Romantic Times
“I am thrilled to see a revival of the gothic romance. Not only does it have effective gothic elements but also flashbacks to the earlier time made it seem as if I were reading two different stories that paralleled each other.”
