Come the Morning (Bookcassette(r) Edition)

Summary: Not quite what i was expecting.
Review: The review i read hiked the "he barged into her castle to claim her and her land" theme, but it wasn't so. The beginning of the relationship- the fiery exchanges, were all so long and unbeleivable that i wanted to hurl the book out my window. They love-making was more like "she likes it rough and he likes giving it to her." It's unbelievable that they fall in love, or that they even marry, even if he lusts after her. The hero's character does not stay in the expected character. Very dissappointing and quite a turn-off

Summary: Come the morning - captivating
Review: This is my first book by Ms.Drake and it is really grand. The story is very well blended with the history of Scotland. I kept turning the pages and started to like Scottish and Viking historicals. It took me only one night to read this book. Love scences are subtly described and the plots are well created. I love Waryk and Mellyora so much. They are so very charming. Other characters are so good too. (especially the mistress is surprisingly so nice). Before me sits "Conquer the Night" which is Ms.Drake's second book in Graham series.

Summary: Romance with a history lesson...
Review: This is my first Shannon Drake book, so I didn't quite know what to expect. This book differs from other historical romances I've read, in that it reads like a "story" that happens to have romance as one of the primary focal points. It's not the typical historical romance where the focus is on the beauty of the "fair maiden," the prowess of the male character, and their sparring matches before they realize they're meant to be together. Sure there's some of that here too, but there's a story as well. This is evidenced by the length of time it takes before the two characters even kiss. I guess this is more of a "mature" historical romance. However, it was enjoyable enough that I'll try another of her books. While I still prefer the "typical" historical romance, the bottom line is, would I recommend it? The answer is yes, as long as you don't expect a novel similar to some of Kathleen Woodiwiss' best (and older) novels.

Summary: I couldn't put the book down - very entertaining!
Review: This is the first Shannon Drake book that I've read and I was pleasantly surprised by how the charachters and story 'came to life' within the pages. A very entertaining storyline. I hated to come to the last page...

Summary: Excellent Book!
Review: This was my first Shannon Drake book and have already bought the next 4 books in this series. It's excellently written with plenty of facts about the history of Scotland to make it very easy to understand. This is different from other historical romances that I've read because it actually has a ton of historical facts to thrill a curious mind while bringing the characters and this time alive. I loved how I was able to envision the landscape and the characters without being bogged down with too much description. I recommend this book too anyone interested in the medieval times and in Scotland. I look forward to reading the rest of her books in this series.

Summary: Ugh!
Review: This was my first Shannon Drake book. I read several reviews here that made me think that this book was a fluke, so I had planned to try others. But the ones who said THIS was her best yet convinced me to save my money. I know my favorites (Johanna Lindsey and Julie Garwood) are hard to live up to, but still, I've read alot of good books. This was not one of them. If I want to read a history book, I'll buy a history book. I read as afr as page 193, and there was still no sexual tension between the two. I just can't finish it.

Summary: A WONDERFUL BOOK
Review: This was the first book that I read by Shannon Drake. And it only took me two days to read it, The charectors were charming and the history was magical. So that made me pick up conquer the night. BRAVO Ms Drake, I can't wait for the sequals to come.
