1.0 out of 5 stars Not the best but certainly the least!, July 21 2002

By	"alezis" (Toronto, Ontario Canada) - See all my reviews

This is my first Shannon Drake book and I totally dislike it, first of all I am a history buff, but Ms. Drake writes in the HR category not History, but this book can be consider a history book minus some details, I bought this book with the intentions of reading a Historical Romance novel but end up reading more about William Wallace, who I respect and love for what he believe in but that not what I expect. Ms Drake writes more about Wallace and his fights and the battle than of the romance between two people, sorry but I feel that this book was a waste of money on my part. And I advise readers not to buy this book if you are looking for a romance book to curl up at the fire with!!!!!

4.0 out of 5 stars A Fine Romance, Dec 31 2001

By	booknblueslady (Woodland, CA United States) - See all my reviews

Lady Eleanor of Clarin is traveling to France to marry her fathers friend in order to provide security for her people. On her way her ship is rudely border by pirates. During her captivity on board she encounters Brendan Graham of Scotland. Eleanor blames all Scots for her fathers death, but cannot deny the attraction. This is the start of Shannon Drake's Seize the Dawn, which is part of the chronicles of her own family history.

Requisite of all romances is the necessary heat and sizzle between hero and heroine and there is undeniable sparks between Brendan and Eleanor. There are also the necessary hurdles to overcome, Eleanor's own prejudice against the Scots and a marriage interfere with their happily ever after. Between them there is also the tension which makes exciting reading in romance stories.

I for one look forward to reading the sequels of this series.

2.0 out of 5 stars Don't Waste Your Money !!!, Jun 22 2001

By A Customer

I have read many Shannon Drake books and this was the only one I can say that I did not enjoy. The story line moved very slow. I found the story to be borring and was constantly skipping over parts just to get through it. There was way to much history explained in the book (William Wallace and the war) which I found to take away from the characters and plot line. Not one of her best. Pass on this one and invest your money in one of her better books like Brave the Wind,Knight of Fire,Come the Morning etc.
