Product Description
Product Description
They were both outcasts by a harsh decree -- and on the brink of a shared destiny of passion!
With her father murdered, her home burned, lovely Alyx Blackelt fled to the woods -- and sanctuary in the camp of Raine Montgomery, a nobleman outlawed by the king's edict. There she hid her beauty in the guise of a boy, and her sorrow in her work as Montgomery's squire.
But how long could such loveliness as hers be hidden? How long could such a gallant man's desires be blind? And how soon -- even as a blood feud raged between the Montgomerys and the Chatworths, as angry swords clattered in the name of family honor -- one woman's love would make all the difference...one woman's love would inflame a hero's passion, touch a king's pity, and raise a song of praise in every English heart. --This text refers to the Mass Market Paperback edition.

Another great Velvet book,
By allie-kat (N.B., Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Velvet Song (Mass Market Paperback)
Although I didn't find as much true passion in this novel, I enjoyed it a great deal. The absolute romance that surrounded and enveloped the other two velvet books just wasn't as prominent in this one. But the story was still very good... I loved hearing more about Gavin and Judith and Stephen and Bronwyn. I found Raine to be very tempermental towards Alyx which just didn't fit his personality from earlier books. He never had a bad word to say to Judith, yet with Alyx, the woman he was supposed to adore... he could be very hateful. I took it all in stride though and found that I didn't like Raine any less... I just accepted his temprement, knowing that he was going through hard times and dealing with it the best way he knew how. I was a bit upset at the lack of concern over not seeing his child with Alyx for some time, but he redeemed himself near the end and I felt much better about that situation. Alyx loved Raine to the point of death... and I could relate to her need to help him even if he wouldn't help himself... no matter how angry he became. The scene with Alyx and the King was touching and very well written... All in all, its a good book... definetely worth a read since it is a big part of the Montgomery brothers story.

Awful, Terrible, Horrible.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Velvet Song (Mass Market Paperback)
Perhaps I am not the best person to review "Velvet Song;" after all, I never finished the book. This book is simply horrendous as well as a diappointment. "Velvet Promise" was decent and "Highland Velvet" was absolutley fabulous, but Deveraux really falls flat on her face with the third installment of the "Velvet" series. The story is basically a weed-wacked version of Robin Hood. The hero, Rain, is the type of man no woman would want: he's unkind, untrusting, unattractive, and uninteresting. The heroine's attraction to him is truly an unbelieveable, and, as a result, the book has no legitimate premise. If this is a romance, well, then, I just don't know what to say... I struggled while choosing a rating for this book. It was bad, but I am sorry to say I have read lesser books than this gem. Save your money. Read "Higland Velvet" again and call it a day. And by the way, don't read "Velvet Angel" either. ("Velvet Song" is worse than "Velvet Angel by a very slim margin.) These books are truly two egregious entries on Deveraux's resume.

Perfect Song,
By A Customer
This review is from: Velvet Song (Mass Market Paperback)
Unlike some other veiwers who said they were dissapointed in the Raine character, I found him to be wonderful. I like that all four brothers were different from each other in the Velvet Series and Raine was definitly different. I appreciated the character more than the other brothers (except Miles for obvious reasons). This is definitly a good book. I read it in one evening. You must Read all four of the books to get a good appreciation. In order of what book was intended to be read first to last is 1) The Velvet Promise 2) Highland Velvet 3)Velvet Song 4)Velvet Angel.Also keep in mind that these books did have more sexual content than most of Jude Deveraux's newer books. Obviously people read romance for the dirty stuff...I found it a bit unneccisary (I spelled that wrong Im sure).
