The Hours Will FLY when you read this!,
By
This review is from: Hour of the Rose: A Draycott Abbey Novel (Mass Market Paperback)
This was an incredibly good historical/contemporary romance. Normally, I do not like switching back and forth in a book from different time periods but this was done so seamlessly that I must applaud Ms. Skye for her effort.Michael Burke, ex-Royal Marine, and undercover operative has come Draycott Abbey to unearth an urn hidden away and containing information that people are willing to commit murder for. Enter Kelly Hamilton, a beautiful archeologist who is gifted with an amazing ability for second sight but what is she really looking for, and what are these amazing flashes of times long past that keep threatening her sanity and make her feel as if she is part of it? Both Michael and Kelly are caught up in more than just this dangerous intrigue - they both feel the powerful attraction which they both try to deny and this tale of deceit and betrayal is a powerful and well written tale that has you holding your breath while trying to fit all the pieces together. I loved both the contemporary and the medieval stories told in this book. The characters are very well fleshed out and you can feel all their pain, sorrow and complete joy as they learn to love and trust one another. Glimpses of the Draycott Abbey ghosts are delightful and thoroughly enjoyable. This was my fist novel by Christina Skye, but definitely not my last. I look forward to

Draycott Abbey and its ghosts are introduced.,
By Ann (rawalker@southwind.net) (Newton, Kansas) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Hour of the Rose: A Draycott Abbey Novel (Mass Market Paperback)
I am always intrigued by ghosts and Draycott Abbey has the most wonderful residents. Each time Christina Skye writes about Draycott Abbey, it's a "must read". Although a touch of sadness is in the story, the companionship that follows lends to all the future books.
