Summary: a great read
Comment: I really enjoy reading Shannon Drake novels. They always seem to combine and interesting plot with complex and likeable characters. Ms. Drake's new novel is no exception. Brenden and Eleanor, Lady of Clarin, create enough spark and sizzle throughout the book to keep one reading long into the night. There was also enough historical detail and intrique to keep the story moving from the very first page. I kept from rating this book a 5 star for the same reason that a previous reviewer sited. The first third of the book pitted Eleanor and Brenden in numerous conflicting situations which left both hero and heroine angry and frustrated. Brenden carries vivid memories of a battle injury incurred from the lovely Lady of Clarin that left continuing thoughts of vengence, against her, in his mind. Eleanor, despises all Scotts due to previous violence ,from the highlanders ,against her family. The two rant and rave at each other-almost at nauseum- for much of the book. THAT becomes tiring. The romance that erupts from the two is sudden and catches the reader by surprise. There is no real hint of attraction before Eleanor " throws" herself on Brenden and consummates the relationship. I certainly am not conservative enough to expect flowery words and gifts before a relationship starts. However, there is a bit of a gap between hate and love that could have been more succesfully and SMOOTHLY explored, from this author, given the quality of her latest book. With all that said it is still a wonderful read. Well worth the time. I understand this book is the beginning of The Graham family saga. I look forward to the next installment- as should you!!! P.S **Sometimes I wish the Amazon ratings had another half level to them***** I really would have given this book 4.5 stars. Just under that magical 5!! Enjoy!

Summary: SEIZE THIS BOOK
Comment: My first Shannon Drake book and it is a great story! Rich in historical background (but not so much that you will feel bogged down), great characters - a hero to die for and a heroine to match. The love scenes sizzle. This is a keeper and I will definitely order more of SD's books. If you like this book (or even if you don't like this book), order Diana Gabaldon's Outlander series (5+ stars). Forget that it is a time travel book (which I usually hate). This is another book which takes place in Scotland and is one of the most beautiful love stories you will ever read.

Summary: Simply wonderful...
Comment: I have read ALL of Shannon Drake's Graham series and I love them all. Seize the Dawn unweaves a story of two people whose lives will forever be bound together, despite the raging war between their homelands. The thing I loved most about the book is that neither character denied their feelings for each other, as you find in numerous other romance novels. I love history and Shannon Drake does an excellent job weaving in historical facts with romantic fiction. Job well done!!
