A suprisingly good read!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
I wasn't sure I was going to like a story about Wiccans and karmic debt, but that was actually only an incidental part of the story, and it was handled so well I wasn't at all put off by it. The real story was the emerging trust and love of two people thrown together by fate, who at first think they are perfectly mismatched but who eventually find they were meant to be together. The characters are very sweet, especially Serafina who is gentle and good-hearted. Her husband at first seems heartless and shallow, but is actually just longing for love, like most romantic heros. It was a little frustrating that the characters had so much trouble communicating with each other, but I guess you have to have a little emotional turmoil or you wouldn't have a story. Anyway, they eventually work their way through their troubles and reach a satisfyingly happy ending. I thought this book was intelligently written unlike some of the popular but bland romances I've read lately. Highly recommended, if you like your romance with just a touch of fantasy. Enjoy!
Beautifull and Sexy...

One of Kingsley's book that I found chewable. I am bracing myself for another long, monotonous story. So, I was surprised that the story is all but that! It is touching how Serafina who are kind and brave tries to love her husband, who was enggaged to her since she was nine. She is the type who has a very big heart and who see only the best even in the very hopeless situation. I found the essence of her character is so well developed, not because of her constant stupidity & naivity but because of the true nature of a girl who were raised such as Serafina. The hero is a little complex. I have him confused, as Kingsley doesn't creates his heartache until the middle end of the sotry, it is like "oh... I forgot that he's supposed to be another wounded party in this story". Even after that his charactrer is secondary in my opinion. Last, Kathrine Kingsley managed to combine Christianity and witchcrafting (and managed to put them together in the same household) with charm and humour... some of the scenes are just hillarious. In The Wake of the Wind is about fairy tale, gothic, and true love. It certainly entertain.....hugely!
WONDERFUL BOOK!

This is the best book I've read in years! She really does her research....your perfect historical romance touched with a bit of destiny. I loved it...my copy is so worn out from me reading it over and over and friends reading it over and over.
A wonderful love story

Like any romance novel, the happy ending in this novel is inevitable. However, the journey to this happy ending is particularly enjoyable. Serafina and Aubrey are meant for each other, of course, but an odd aunt and a mysterious sub-plot add to the enjoyment of the book
