Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

The newest novel in the popular annals of Skye O'Malley focuses on Skye's brother Conn, the handsomest man in Elizabeth I's court, a character who was introduced in previous books. Beginning with Conn's courtship of Aiden St. Michael, the author describes their marriage, which is blissful until Conn is unjustly accused of plotting to kill the queen. When Aiden attempts to help Conn, she is kidnapped and sold into slavery in Istanbuland a predictable rescue ensues. This story lacks the genuine emotion and originality of This Heart of Mine. Fans' expectations will be disappointed.

4.0 out of 5 stars A must read for Bertrice Small fans, January 19, 2000

This book can be incredibly difficult to find, but if it is available, do not hesitate to buy it! It was the first romance novel I ever read, and it is still my favorite, years later. It is well researched, and very historically accurate. While the novel does not focus on Skye, it is about her youngest brother Conn and the woman he marries. It's a wonderful, fast moving tale, and incredibly enjoyable. Even if you've had bad luck with some of her books (there are some out there) I encourage you to read any of the books in the O'Malley or Leslie sagas.

5.0 out of 5 stars YAHOO! This is great! I'm not even done reading it yet!, May 18, 2000

This review is from: A Love for All Time (Paperback)

This book is great - it is like the Kadin and of course the skye o'malley books (it is of that series) It is very rich in history, costume description, the usual stuff that I love about Bertrice Small. It is among the best of her books concerning characters - I really love all of them - conn & aidan as well as the british court and the easterners. Also, it is about 600+ pages! and no fluff!

I got a hold of this Hard-to-find book on eBay (auction) after failing to get it on amazon auction - check often at these places though, because there is always a copy up for auction, and it is definitely worth it!

I read somewhere that even though it was hard to find, it wasn't really that important a book in the series, I think that person was just trying to make everyone feel better in case they couldn't find a copy - you must try to get a copy of this book!

5.0 out of 5 stars Desperately Seeking This Book!, November 17, 1999

I will agree that this is the hardest of any of her books to find. I haven't located it yet but I am looking. I will say that Beatrice Smalls books are wonderful!
