In parts quite a fun paranormal read. Historical romance with a [b:beauty and the beast|41424|Beauty A Retelling of the Story of Beauty and the Beast|Robin McKinley|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1169613617s/41424.jpg|2321285] flavour. The wife, Madeline Breton goes to Cornwall to meet with her new husband (they were married by proxy); Anatole St. Leger. A man who has been hiding out from his abilities and from the world. There are mysterious forces at work who want him dead and misunderstandings that keep them apart.
The paranormal in this story falls into the Psionic end of the scale and it's quite well dealt with, not only the power but also the problems. There were times however where it faltered and it didn't quite gel properly. Still quite an enjoyable read and I look forward to the others in the series.
