great book ... some oddities
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
I truly love this book, it was entertaining and well written. Adam is my favorite Male in the Skye O'Malley series. Im glad Skye ends up with him. I did not like the fact that it is never explored reguarding Nialls poisoning, I assumed the red head princesses slave who gave Niall the jellies did it. Knowing Skye you'd think she would figure it out and get her revenge. That was odd to me. Skyes "hohum" attitude to her rape by Navarre was also strange.The end did make me cry a little and smile. Skye was strong, smart and not above using her charms to get what she needed. I like her shrewd but not bitchy attitude.The sex scenes were well done, the ones with Kedar were articulary kinky and hot. I loved them especially but I can see how that might be to vulgar for some readers.
Sweetest taboo!

Like all of Ms. Small's books in this series, this one is a winner! Skye never ceases to amaze me. This woman would make a great friend, or a fierce enemy! She battled two queens and still came out a winner. If you like any of Ms. Small's books, you will surely like this one also.
Exciting and Inspiring

Small brings Skye to life. You laugh with her, you cry with her, you travel through time to places you could only dream of. You come to love and admire Skye as the strong woman we all want to be, as well as the tender, loving, passionate woman we all try to be. I have every one of the books in The Skye O'Malley Saga! I wouldn't give them up for anything!!
Skye O'Malley, Part II.

The first book was where Ms. Small hit the pinnacle of herwriting career, and she simply continues the magic in this book. Skyeis a witty, fun, loving and STRONG character, and perhaps that's what a great deal of people who object to this series are bothered by - the fact that a woman in the Renaissance period could be more than just chattel. I found the scenes in Algiers very powerful - a case of role reversal where Skye instead is the powerful one, albeit Kedar doesn't know it. The sex scenes are graphic - what do people expect to go ON in a harem, pajama parties?
excellant, Small really takes you away with Skye

If you love historical romance you must read the whold Skye Omalley saga. I stumbled upon it and after one book ran out a bought all of Miss Smalls other books. You will too!!! Full of romance and historical knowledge of old england around the time of Queen Bess.
