Summary: The best erotic romance
Comment: I read this book when it was first released, nearly 20 years ago. It made me a fan of romantic erotica for life. I have every book Bertrice Small has written, and few if any have disappointed. She tells a grand tale, and never teases, always delivers. Her characters are three-dimensional and you become emotionally invested in them: for years, in the case of the O'Malley dynasty. Skye is a marvelous heroine, and her family saga is fascinating, rich, and wonderfully written. I'm still in love with the Duke of Southwood. You can't go wrong with this book or this author!
Some reviewers have called the erotica in this book "trashy." I respectfully beg to differ! Descriptions of sexual enjoyment in a romance novel aren't trash, they're beautiful! Do we consider our own sex lives garbage? I don't. So why relegate wonderfully written depictions of sexual activity to the garbage can? It's a real pity that the enjoyment of erotica is still so taboo.
Bravo to Bertrice Small for writing the best of this genre.
I wish more books that are advertised as "sexy" and "romantic" were as honest as this. I've just finished a well-known vampire series that, given the reviews, I expected to be along the lines of this book, and to my regret the only explicit depictions were of violence and death; the romance was non-existant, the eroticism teased but never delivered. I kept reading each book, hoping some aspect of the character's love life would be resolved, to no avail. What a disappointment!
If you want real romance, real passion, real eroticism, read Bertrice Small's works. You won't be disappointed.

Summary: One of the best books I ever read!
Comment: I am not usually a Historical Romance reader but a friend of mine said to me, "You HAVE to read this book". Boy, was I ever glad she did. It was one of the best books I ever read. Bertrice Small is a great story teller. The heroine Skye O'Malley is so strong and independent that I found myself admiring her even though I knew she's only a fictional character. The plot of this book has so many twists and turns that there is never a dull moment. I was amazed at all this woman went through but she survived it all. I also learned alot about history from this book. I knew who Elizabeth I was, but this book told me things I never learned in any history class. And that made the book all the better. So, if you like Historical Romances, I will tell you what my friend told me...you HAVE to read this book. You won't regret it!
