Dark Diva Reviews:

Superstition’s Desire by Deanie Roman turned out to be a very intriguing romance. I have to say, the title threw me off a bit, but in the end, very worth the time to read. Ms. Roman succeeded in abandoning the traditional clichés and gave a true picture of the Scottish Lowlands and their lifestyle. Arabella transforms to a strong and soulful woman that sets her apart as our heroine. Connal is everything a reader hopes for in a historical. Masculine and tough to the world but gentle and seductive behind closed doors.

Superstition’s Desire keeps the reader in anticipation. Twists and turns of danger are layered with believability. You’re never quite sure how the suspense will unfold until the reader arrives at the conclusion. That style and cadence of Ms. Roman’s writing is what kept me up far too late, turning page after page. One tempting hook after another!

The secondary characters were well crafted, each adding a depth and dimension to the story line. Not only was I enthusiastic about our heroine and hero, Ms. Roman held my attention with the sub-plots. Superstition’s Desire is a full-bodied novel to say the least, which gave me hours of escape from everyday life. And that my fellow readers, is what a good book should do.

I would read another book by Deanie Roman and be assured that it would be as equally fulfilling. Any reader will find themselves captivated by this well-crafted tale.

Long and Short Romance Review:

I found Arabella an interesting character, lively but totally unaware of the effect she has on others. Connal on the other hand knows exactly where he stands in the order of things – except for when it comes to Arabella. Danger and adventure threaded through the story kept me interested.

The Scots language was very well handled in the dialogue. Not too much, but enough to put the reader in the Lowlands. Ms Roman had done her research well and the scenery and background of Superstition’s Desire fitted naturally into the story. On the whole I enjoyed this novel and would be happy to read more of the same from Ms. Roman.

Coffee Time Romance: 

Superstition’s Desire depicts lovely scenery and strong characterization that sweeps the reader into a tightly written story of intrigue, danger, betrayal and deep romance. I could actually feel the passion that immediately stirs when Arabella and Connal meet each other. I must say the way Kellan is portrayed; he is definitely a good villain. Deanie Roman. roman weaves an interesting story that flows well, and keeps one turning the pages. She knows how to craft just the right amount of tension, romance, and hidden desire to keep the pages turning in this moving read.

All Romance e-Book Customer Review (#1)
Well crafted, believable love story that sweeps you back to the medieval period. Loved Arabella’s quirky superstitious nature and witty disposition. Also loved Connal! He’s a true alpha male for his time, but is very three dimensional and definately not perfect! This was a great debut novel and I hope to read many more books by this author. Superstition’s Desire is a story worth the read.

This book made me laugh out loud and almost had me on the verge of tears at times. But what really made this story was the humorous dialogue and well felt passion between Connal and Arabella. It made them jump off the page.

I was pulled in from the first paragraph! This story holds you in its grip and doesn’t let go until the last page. Adventure, romance, humor, superstitious rituals and great sex! I loved this book and hope it will be offered in print too. This is one story for the desktop and the shelf.

The minute I picked up this book I couldn’t put it down! The easy interactions of her character’s made me feel I was right there with them. I felt I could step through the screen right into the medieval age. Arabella’s superstition’s were so funny and Connal’s long suffering attitude made me laugh out loud at times. Their passion felt real natural and not forced. I wish I could’ve read one page a day to savor the story, but like a potato chip it’s impossible to stop at just one!
