Book Description

Publication Date: August 12, 1986

Bestselling author Bertrice Small continues the blazing adventures of raven-haired, emerald-eyed Skye O'Malley. This time, she is a pawn in the bitter war between England's Queen Elizabeth, and Mary, Queen of Scots. Once again, unprotected and alone, she must fight for her children. At the command of Queen Elizabeth, Skye marries the cruel Duc de Beaumont de Jaspre. Although her new life is horrid at first, Skye transforms it with her hot-blooded desires--only to be shaken with the news that her beloved former husband may be alive in Algiers. Her daring flight into eroticism and danger leads her ultimately to her heart's true destiny--as bold and sensual as Skye herself.

3.0 out of 5 stars This is the book that made me stop reading the series..., November 9, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: All the Sweet Tomorrows (Mass Market Paperback)

I was very into the first Skye O'Malley novel, and I couldn't wait to read the next one. Well I read this and I was so upset. I cried so much! I don't want to give away anything with this book, but I was so incredibly disappointed with the direction Skye's life (who she ends up with) took that I just decided to stop reading the series. I loved Niall and I loved Skye with Niall. That's all I can say. I can't express the way I felt when I read this book. I don't even think I finished reading this book after the "major part". I just knew what was going to happen and I knew I was going to hate it. I know this review is very discombobulated, but it's very difficult for me to write about this book without giving anything away (I hate when other reviewers do that). Still, I give this book three stars because of Bertrice Small's ability to move me to the point of hysterical tears. I also had to write her a letter because I was so upset. Oh, well.

3.0 out of 5 stars not a complete waist of time., September 4, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: All the Sweet Tomorrows (Mass Market Paperback)

I read Skye O'Malley. I was so involved and so there that I order all the Skye O'Malley series. When part 2 "all the sweet tomorrows" came in, I couldn't wait for the kids to go to bed so I can read. By the second night, I was so upset of how things turned out I was looking for reasons not to read it. I found this book emotional but unrealistic. Even in fantasy world where I like to escape to. Noone can love that many men. Come on, 6 husbands.And feel love for all of them. I thought that Niall was the most wonderful male character of all time. I really wanted the opposite to happen. Don't get me wrong I liked Adam as well. But if a man I was involved with called me "little girl" it wouldn't be a turn on.

4.0 out of 5 stars Anticlimatic (but I enjoyed it anyway)., December 19, 2002

This review is from: All the Sweet Tomorrows (Mass Market Paperback)

This is a very exciting sequel to SKYE O'MALLEY. The action resumes a couple of years after the end of SO. Skye is at last happily married to Niall and in her proper place as the chatelaine of Burke Castle. But with the sudden death of her father-in-law, all goes wrong, and her world is topsy turvy. Niall, who supposedly was murdered by his insane first wife, is reported to be alive; unfortunately, he's now the sex toy of a spoiled Moroccan princess, and to get him back, Skye herself has to pose as a Moroccan's sex toy. I don't want to divulge what happens after this, as I don't want to ruin it for anyone contemplating reading this book, but it's anticlimatic and probably THE most disappointing thing to happen in any Bertrice Small novel.

I thought the Nicholas character was unfairly treated and badly hurt. Skye led him down the primrose path only to dis him at the mention that Niall was alive. And the hurt brough upon Nicholas was especially senseless and unfair in light of how the Niall situation turned out. A handsome, kind-hearted man who would have laid down his life for Skye got his heart broken for no good reason.

I liked Adam -- he was the strongest and most positive character in the book. He was both a good friend and good lover to Skye. I also liked his family, who were all as positive and uplifting as he was.
