I have read all of the books in this series and can't WAIT for more! The two main couples in the series..the human Kacey & Nicholas and the ghosts Adrian & Gray are such a wonderful mix of past and future. Every time I read one of these books it transports me back to the time of Castles & Knights. I hope there are many more books to come! BRAVO Christina!

This is my 3rd and will not be my last as I have become quite a fan of Ms. Skyes stories. Alexei Cameron of Gypsy blood, and a British Earl is an extraordinary hero in this latest novel from the very gifted Christina Skye.

Joanna Russell, a beautiful tour guide at the wonderous Draycott Abbey along with being an expert on ancient weaponry, had known the man five years prior, but he went under the name of Alexei Turov and he was an artist who made incredible swords. He also made incredible love, but Joanna could not trust him nor herself then, or now. He was a fever in her blood now as he was then and she had too many secrets that could not be shared, and much too much to lose should her secrets come out.

This is an exciting story, with plenty of sensual delights, mystery and secrets galore, with treachery and betrayals and non-stop excitement. It is a story that begs to have a happy ending as you see two people so scarred and hurt that trust was a foreign word to them.

Key to Forever is so very hard to put down. Gypsies, palm reading, and a mystery concerning Mary Queen of Scots - what an exciting adventure!! AND let us not forget our wonderful resident ghosts, Adrian, Gray, and Gideon. A rare book that makes you feel great during and after the read. I really loved these two - Alexei and Joanna - the chemistry between them was really hot and their love scenes sizzling. An EXCELLENT read and really worth buying.

A British earl with Gypsy blood, in his wild youth Alexei Cameron shared an extraordinary night with a beautiful stranger who vanished with the dawn. Now she is back in his life - bound to him in a chilling mission.

A tour guide at beautiful Draycott Abbey and an expert on ancient weaponry, Joanna Russel had good reasons for abandoning Alex after their unforgettable night of passion. But she must forget her haunted past to solve the puzzle of the lost Cameron sword - confronting dark secrets and an enemy who knows too muc.

To find their treasure, Alex and Joanna must fulfill thier destiny, set centuries before. For the key to an ancient mystery lies in a passion reborn ...and in a hautning love too long denied. (text taken from Book's cover)

Another great romance from the Queen of Romances Chirtina Skye. Whenever I buy her books I am always sure that I will love reading them even more than three times and Key to Forever certainly does not disappoint me. The story is full of action, love, passion , intrigue and so much more. The characters are very likeable as all Ms Skye's characters are and they are both tortured and in need of rescue. There is really no need for me to add much more other than that this books,as all other Christina Skye's books, is perfect for all of those who like their romances spiced up with an element of danger, and full of action blended perfectly with romance. A MUST READ!

I love the series. They have all the suspense, occult, and romance one needs to truly enjoy reading. I can't wait for the next installment in the series. I have gotten a co-worker interested in this series also.

Perhaps this book would not have seemed so difficult to follow had I read the others in the series. As it was, I found it jumped around quite a bit, dropped references that were not followed up on and kept going over the same dialog. If our hero said "damn it" one more time, I would have to have thrown the book out the window. More creative dialog and better pacing would have made for an enjoyable, though not memorable, book.

Along with the opportunity to revisit other friends from the previous books in the Draycott Abbey series, KEY TO FOREVER gives you the chance to meet a man you'll want to take home and keep for your own! Alex Cameron is a wonderful hero who is strong yet shows a hint of vulnerability. A swordmaker with a heart of gold and a touch of psychic talent, this guy has all the qualities of a marvelous hero. He meets his match in Joanna Campbell--a woman running from her past and the danger that has come to find her. Don't miss this newest installement in the Dracott Abbey series--it's a winner

Ghosts, suspence, love, I was in heaven! I fell in love with the Draycott ghost in the first novella. I have been hooked ever since!

This is my first Christina Skye novel and i really truly liked it. I've read many, many romance novels and this is one of the few whose name i remember. I'll be looking out for the other titles in this series.

With ghosts and visions, there will always be an issue with believability. But still, this story was exciting and had elements of a captivating novel. The plot was interesting, however not entirely enhanced by the supernatural, but certainly not hurt by it. All in all, it was a fun read, but not the most memorable.

I spent most of this book thinking "Huh?" It was like someone took a story and randomly pulled out bits and pieces from here and there and then called those random pieces a book. It gave me a headache trying to follow the clutter and I never felt any connection with the book or its characters. It also didn't help that it took almost 300 pages for the supposed hero and heroine to get their acts together. By then, I just wanted this dreadful story to end.
