Book Description

Draycott Abbey Series 1997
Beautiful American heiress jamee Night feels someone watching her: someone who knows every move she makes. And she knows firsthand what fear is, since she survived a kidnaping when she was just a girl. But Jamee has worked too hard to lose her confidence now. She has come to Scotland on a mission of hope, and to return to the land of her ancestors.

Jamee would never knowingly accept protection but when she meets Ian McCall, tenth laird of Glenlyle, she is unaware that the proud Highlander is a top kidnapping expert secretly working on her behalf. But there is no mistaking the quiet strength and steely confidence which pulls her inexorably toward his powerful, sheltering embrace and wakens within her a desperate yearning -- as well as intense memories of an ancestor who lived, loved and made three solemn wishes generations before.

Now, here in the windswept hills, with Jamee's courage, Ian's trust, and a bit of otherworldly help from the irrepressible spirits of draycott Abbey, miracles can take place -- and even ancient wishes really can come true.



Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

Kidnapped and rescued as a teenager, fabric designer and heiress Jamee Night is determined to live a normal life?and that doesn't include bodyguards. But when her brothers suspect she may be a target once more, they secretly arrange for protection, hiring a reluctant kidnapping expert, Ian McCall, the tenth laird of Glenlyle, to do the job. A compelling hero, an independent, wounded heroine, and assorted spirits, including the legendary ghost of Draycott Abbey, join forces in this lively, sensual Christmas story that features well-crafted characters, a sprinkle of humor, an intriguing plot, and a wonderfully misty Scottish setting. Continuing her "Draycott Abbey" series, this story will appeal to readers who like their holiday stories with a lot of atmosphere and a bit of mystery. Skye (Key to Forever, Avon, 1997) lives in Princeton, N.J.

5.0 out of 5 stars Christina Ske's latest&enthralling romantic suspense novel, September 9, 1997
By A Customer
This review is from: Season of Wishes (Mass Market Paperback)
The brothers of Jamee Night plead with Ian McCall, Laird of Glenlyle, to serve as a bodyguard to their sister, who has been threatened by a potential kidnapper. Because of a hereditary illness, Ian is losing his eyesight and wants to refuse the job, but succumbs to the sibling's persuasiveness of protecting an innocent, who suffers from nightmares caused by a previous kidnapping. He vows to keep her out of harm's way. While traveling with Jamee, the couple is attacked and Ian manages to keep both of them safe.

He soon falls in love with his client, but is afraid to tell her because he is going blind, the victim of the Glenlyle Curse. He does not feel he has anything to offer Jamee or any woman. Jamee reciprocates his feelings as she is healed by Ian's caring. She feels he will protect her, and vows to heal him as he did her. If they survive the kidnappers, Jamee knows that her work is cut out for her if she wants to spend a lifetime of happiness with Ian.

Christina Skye's Draycott Abbey series are well loved by romance readers and her latest novel, SEASON OF WISHES, will be well received by fans of Contemporary romance; supernatural romance; New Age sub-genre. The audience will find themselves caring for the hero who protects and loves his Jamee with all his heart and soul. The sky is the limit for Ms. Christina Skye.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good storyline, but a little slow, May 16, 2003
This review is from: Season of Wishes (Mass Market Paperback)
This is one of the books in the Draycott Abbey series; I'm not reading them in order, so I don't know where this one fits in. It was a pretty good read, but not as good as 'Bride in the Mist'. It did have the suspense element & the paranormal element in it which I always enjoy, but this time I think CS focused way too much on just the hero & heroine's feelings & thoughts about each other. This story moved rather slow for me & I really found myself wanting to skim paragraphs in this one (the ones that just described more & more feelings & thoughts about each other), where I didn't want to in the other one. I wish CS had spent more time & effort on the action/adventure aspect & had put more into the paranormal memories from the past. I didn't get that good of a picture of the past, nor feel any real feelings for those characters. However, I did really like both our hero & heroine (Ian & Jamee); Neither of them were annoying like so many characters of romance books are. Ian was definitely your strong, sexy Highlander & Jamee was intelligent & independent (without carrying it to stupidity). I enjoy the secondary characters that CS adds to these books & the way they are necessary & add to the story. I do believe it's worth picking up & reading - and I will be trying another in this series.

This review is from: Season of Wishes (Mass Market Paperback)
As much as I enjoy and look forward to reading aything written by Christna Skye, I did all I could to avoid reading any of the Draycott Abbey books. It was lucky for me "Season of Wishes" snuck by me. An absolute must read, I could'nt put down. In fact I would read a few pages, and go back and re-read them again (this made for interesting reading) Season of Wishes was not only charming, and well written, but quite touching.I was thoroughly entertained, and did not want the story to end. Speaking of which, does anyone who has read "Seasons of Wishes" happen to know if any of the characters from this book, appear in any of the other Draycott Abbey books?
