Relation As Books Mistress of Mellyn

Mount Mellyn stood as proud and magnificent as she had envisioned... But what about its master--Connan TreMellyn? Was Martha Leigh's new employer as romantic as his name sounded? As she approached the sprawling mansion towering above the cliffs of Cornwall, an odd chill of apprehension overcame her.

TreMellyn's young daugher, Alvean, proved as spoiled and difficult as the three governesses before Martha had discovered. But it was the girl's father whose cool, arrogant demeanor unleashed unfamiliar sensations and turmoil--even as whispers of past tragedy and present danger begin to insinuate themselves into Martha's life.

Powerless against her growing desire for the enigmatic Connan, she is drawn deeper into family secrets--as passion overpowers reason, sending her head and heart spinning. But though evil lurks in the shadows, so does love--and the freedom to find a golden promise forever...

The Mistress of Mellyn by Victoria Holt is a 1960 publication. Everyone knows I am a huge fan of these old Gothic suspense novels and love to collect the old paperbacks.Those covers are just fantastic!! Victoria Holts name is nearly synonymous with this genre and she was quite prolific. As such, Im still hunting down some of her harder to find books and havent come close to reading all of her novels. So, its fun to pull one of these off the shelf and lose myself in a different time, despite the

I grew up buying gothic mysteries by the bagful. They are suspenseful and sometimes eerie. What I tire of is helplessness: a maiden dependent on residency in an unwelcome place. What a refreshing change, to discover Victoria Holt's 1960, Mistress Of Mellyn, broke that mould! I am surprised there were readers who didn't notice that. I give five stars for delight and originality, in the genre I know well, which seldom deviates! Most appear to have missed that Martha Leigh has a good life with her

Wow! I did not remember that! What a great read! I am still thinking about this book after finishing yesterday. This was really good! I know I read it as a teen. My mom had all those Victoria Holt's from the Doubleday Book Club. I remember this title quite well. And I read all of her books when she finished. I just don't remember any of this story. Great characters and setting. Oh so gothic!I really enjoyed it quite a lot. So atmospheric. I didn't like Marty at all until about halfway thru. She

Rating Clarification: 2.5 StarsI've been doing alot of re-reads at the beginning of 2012; some from books of my childhood, others from books of my teen years. For the most part, these re-reads have stood the test of time between readings. Whether this is because of nostalgia or their overall quality it's hard to determine. Regardless, it's generally been a positive re-reading experience. However, the appeal of Victoria Holt's first published gothic novel, Mistress of Mellyn, faltered in my

Mistress of Mellyn is a great example of an old-fashioned gothic romance. It begins with the necessary heroine, an impoverished gentlewoman with no prospects for marriage (of course), who is pursuing a living as a governess in an isolated and somewhat spooky manor. The master of the house is a widower, handsome and forbidding, whose wife died in fantastic circumstances and whose body was never positively identified. All this is wrapped up in rumors and mysterious happenings while our heroine,

***2017 Summer Lovin Reading List*** After two misses, it was nice to score a hit. Apparently, I am an old-fashioned woman. I prefer a story with some mystery, some history, and some romance. Leave out the sex scenes and lets have an actual plot, please.Stereotypical as can be, Mistress of Mellyn gave me the usual Victoria Holt offering. An impoverished gentlewoman with no options except being a governess, a student with potential and problems, an attractive employer with an air of mystery,
