Summary: Another Great Draycott Abbey Book
Comment: This was another entry in the Draycott Abbey series that is again another chapter in this wonderful creation by the gifted Christina Skye.
Our hero, Commander Jared MacNeill, is connected to the abbey through an association of having served in the Royal Marines and having had his life saved by Nicolas Draycott. So, when a personal favor was requested by Nicolas to ask Jared to 'check out' a proposed artist he and his wife were planning to commission for a specific venture they would be sponsoring - Jared felt compelled to grant this one last favor - before he died. Through a special 'sixth-sense gift' Jared, had seen his own death and by touch, he can read another persons thoughts.
Highly independent since her father's supposed death and jewel theft, Maggie Kincade's life had left her vulnerable and wary of anything and anyone that smacked of 'reporters'. She was attempting to carry on with her life relying solely on herself when this Scotsman, Jared, invades her mind and sends signals to her body that are quite unsettling. Arriving at the Abbey, she has no idea why it somehow feels familiar and why she has the feeling that someone is always watching her.
What follows is the highly sensual attraction that our two main characters have with Jared quite vocal with his admiration and Maggie not quite understanding or believing her feelings. The fact that Jared knows what she is thinking drives her crazy! Then of course you have the mystery of why someone is trying to harm Maggie and whether her father is really dead.
As always, you get to see Adrian and Gideon, the abbey's guardian ghosts - who help out when the going gets tough and you get to visit other characters from previous novels who you have come to know and love. This is not to say that you need to read the previous Draycott books as this does stand entirely on it's own plot although your sense of 'family' will be more than satisfied as you do get to find out how 'old friends' are doing. Great entry - lots of suspense and hot sensual scenes.

Summary: A Perfect Book
Comment: As usual, Christina Skye tops her previous books. Her heros are always straight arrows, her heroins are usually experienced in romance but not to the point of being slutish. It is a joy to watch her plots unfold. I am never bored, waiting to get to the meat of the plot. Her past and present characters blend extremely well with any given situation. She always knows where every one is and what they should be doing at any given time. Makes it all so believable that I want to keep reading and reading. I hate the end of any of her books. What happened to the two sequals involving the two female cousins? Do you know when they will hit the shelves, or have they and I just missed them??

Summary: Skye fan speaks!
Comment: Thank you Christina. With your originality and wit and great style you are the writer I turn to for inspiration. I am sure other professionals in the business must do the same. Yes, I am an aspiring writer, but it is hard to read your books analytically, I just get swept away. A comfortable chair, a quiet hour, and a Christina Skye book, thats my idea of heaven. Please keep writing, I'd be bereft without your books!
