Loved it, brought back fond memories of reading my mothers's Victoria Holt novels as a teen.

This was written in the Gothic style and it does remind one of [b:Jane Eyre|10210|Jane Eyre|Charlotte Brontë|https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1327867269s/10210.jpg|2977639], but everything that works marvelously well in that book just couldn't be recreated in The Master of Seacliffe. The atmosphere doesn't quite work, but the mystery side of it was quite entertaining; it isn't a story to give goosebumps, but it will make the reader want to know exactly what is going on. As for the love story, Duncan Stewart is no Rochester; plus, the chemistry is almost zero between the two guys that fall in love... Still it is worth the reading for what it tried to achieved and for what it is: a light and simple read.

Delightful gothic mystery romance. It's creepy, tense, a bit melodramatic, and very enjoyable. The atmosphere of this book is excellent and the gloomy Seacliff mansion is so sinister in a wonderfully Manderley-esque way. The cast of interesting and suspicious secondary characters is great. The mystery is intriguing and possibly more interesting than the romance. I really enjoyed this.

Reminiscent of classic gothic historical romances, but with a gay twist. Enjoyable.
