Summary: Book three of the "Velvet" series...
Comment: While I enjoyed the first two books in the "Velvet" series, I was a bit disappointed with this one. Why? Mainly because Raine is such a jerk for most of the book. Normally this would not have bothered me, but when he was introduced in "The Velvet Promise" he was the funny, caring brother. While he was wonderful to his sister-in-laws Judith and Bronwyn, here he is just plain horrible to Alyx. Not to say that she is perfect. She is far from as she is the typical Deveraux heroine: strong willed, stubborn, heading into trouble without a thought. The plot device that has her hide as a boy is interesting though, as is her friendship with Jocelyn (a character we were introduced to in "The Velvet Promise"). As a whole the overall story is well-written and I would definitely recommend reading this one. Just be warned: Raine is having a bad day for most of it.

Summary: Perfect Song
Comment: Unlike some other veiwers who said they were dissapointed in the Raine character, I found him to be wonderful. I like that all four brothers were different from each other in the Velvet Series and Raine was definitly different. I appreciated the character more than the other brothers (except Miles for obvious reasons). This is definitly a good book. I read it in one evening. You must Read all four of the books to get a good appreciation. In order of what book was intended to be read first to last is 1) The Velvet Promise 2) Highland Velvet 3)Velvet Song 4)Velvet Angel.
Also keep in mind that these books did have more sexual content than most of Jude Deveraux's newer books. Obviously people read romance for the dirty stuff...I found it a bit unneccisary (I spelled that wrong Im sure).

Summary: Another great Velvet book
Comment: Although I didn't find as much true passion in this novel, I enjoyed it a great deal. The absolute romance that surrounded and enveloped the other two velvet books just wasn't as prominent in this one. But the story was still very good... I loved hearing more about Gavin and Judith and Stephen and Bronwyn.
I found Raine to be very tempermental towards Alyx which just didn't fit his personality from earlier books. He never had a bad word to say to Judith, yet with Alyx, the woman he was supposed to adore... he could be very hateful.
I took it all in stride though and found that I didn't like Raine any less... I just accepted his temprement, knowing that he was going through hard times and dealing with it the best way he knew how.
I was a bit upset at the lack of concern over not seeing his child with Alyx for some time, but he redeemed himself near the end and I felt much better about that situation.
Alyx loved Raine to the point of death... and I could relate to her need to help him even if he wouldn't help himself... no matter how angry he became. The scene with Alyx and the King was touching and very well written...
All in all, its a good book... definetely worth a read since it is a big part of the Montgomery brothers story.
