Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Chessy Cameron spends her evenings as a second-story woman, hunting for a valuable erotic Chinese "pillow book" demanded as ransom by her father's kidnappers. She hasn't seen Tony Morland, "the love of her life," in 10 years, but when he learns she is in London, he arrives on her doorstep, restocking her threadbare household and securing the Duchess of Cranford to sponsor her in Regency society. But neither love nor groceries can dissuade Chessy from following the instructions in a note that lead her to search Tony's bedroom for the pillow book--and it's a good thing, too: it allows Chessy to practice her nursing skills and to snuggle up with the bed-ridden hero after the kidnappers follow her and attack and wound Tony. Perhaps this soothes her conscience for being so useless during the attack, despite her supposed martial arts training. The Regency elements form little more than a veneer, and the tale's logical structure does not bear close scrutiny, but Skye ( The Ruby ) keeps the plot humming along for her likable hero and heroine.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book rules!!!!, December 30, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: East of Forever (Mass Market Paperback)

Christina Skye is an author that puts breath into her words. She is able to make the reader cry, feel pain and feel what the characters are feeling. I was not disappointed with 'East of Forever' and as a matter of fact, just reinforced my thoughts on Skye.

This book is a must-read and one that I couldn't put down until I read the very last word on the very last page. She makes the reader want more and more she has given. Since I myself do martial arts, it was very entertaining and interesting to read about the heroine's exploits and knowledge in that field. There should be more heroines who know that kind of info in these romance novels. It puts a great twist to the story and adds more to the drama. Very good.

I applaud Skye and her ability to weave magic within the hearts and minds of her readers. Makes me want to jump into the books and join the fun. Happy readings.

I have read most of the Draycott Abby series and this was the first time that I have read Christina Skye's later books. I have to say that I loved the book and right now that is unusual for me.

Excellant story with complicated plot and diverse characters. The historical accuracy is in depth and there is a lot of suspense along with exciting love story...Christina Skye writes one of the best historical romances next to Kathleen Woodiwis
