Summary: Awful, Terrible, Horrible.
Review: 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.

Summary: Not as good as the other "velvet" books
Review: So far I have read three of the "velvet" books and this was my least favorite. The Velvet promise is great! Raine was great, but the story was just okay.
Rating:
Summary: big disappointment
Review: So let me get this straight -- Raine is the sweetest, most caring, sensitive guy in Velvet Promise and Highland Velvet...but then the minute he meets and marries Alyx, he turns into some jealous psycho for half the book? Riiiiiiiiiight. Alyx is the only thing that saved this one.

Summary: Okay
Review: The telling of the story was good, and I love the way she still brings in all the other montgomery family into the story. The Romance of Alyx and Raine was beliveable, however, I enjoyed the story more than the Romance.

Summary: Third in the series...a little disapointed...
Review: The third tale in the Velvet series, the story about Raine Montgomery. I have to admit I was a little disapointed. I expected something better in my opinion. Not to say it wasn't good by any means, it was, but I loved Raine in the two previous books, VELVeT PROMISE and HIGHLAND VELVET, but this one VELVET SONG didn't quite reach that level that the other two did.
Not as much action or adventure as the previous two and the heroine I felt a little distant from. Almost like I didn't get the chance to know her. Raine was more cold and unforgiving in this one also, compared to his forgiving nature in the previous books. There is a very good reason for it, but I just missed the fun-loving nature he had before. Alyx Blackett's father was murdered in the night and their house was burned to the ground, she had no choice but to flee in the darkness from a man who wanted to see her burned at the stake. She flees to the outlaw camp of Raine Montgomery, a nobleman outlawed by the king in the previous book HIGHLAND VELVET. (I won't say why because it will ruin the plot to the previous book :) There she hides in disguise as his squire and a boy. Alyx soon finds herself helplessly attracted to the nobleman, as much as that is detestable to her, for noblemen are the cause of her grief and running. She doesn't know how long she can pretend to be a boy when her body wants him to touch her! But why would he want her? A poor man's daughter, a serf? He would never look her way, not when he has flocks of gorgeous women at his beck and call! But can she lure him to her? With he unique and angel's voice? Raine Montgomery is preparing for a blood bath with the hated Chatworths, the Montgomery's most hated enemy! His heart is filled with rage for what they have done now and he will see it to the finish! His family has been torn apart by their brutality and jealousy! This bloody feud has been raging for a long time...murder, rape...Raine is determined to stop i all any cost! But will the love of a poor serf change his heart? Can her song lift the hearts of the Montgomery's and find pity from the king? Does love rule all? (VELVET PROMISE, HIGHLAND VELVET, VELVET SONG, VELVET ANGEL) Tracy Talley ~@

Summary: To a reader in Nashville Tenesee
Review: The Velvet books are in this order. The Velvet Promise, Highland Velvet, Velvet Song, and Velvet Angel. These books are okay but the heroines are slightly annoying in half of them the ones who I reallly like are Judith Montgomery and Brownyn McArran. Elizabeth is afraid of her own shadow. Alyx tends to balme the World for all her problems.Granted a few of her problems are other peoples fault but not all of them.

Summary: It was alright, but not as good as the others
Review: The Velvet series is my favorite series of books I have ever read, however, this third one was kinda disappointing. I expected so much after reading the first two (Velvet Promise & Highland Velvet - which were great by the way) and then this one was not as good. Both Raine and Alyx both lack something as hero and heroine. I would still recommend this book if you are to continue with the series and on to the fourth one becuase it will make the fourth (Velvet Angel) easier to comprehend.

Summary: Raine is such a man!
Review: This book is so good. I have read all of the Montgomery series and this one is my favorite. Every man should take a lesson from Raine Montgomery on how to behave. He was such a stud. Every woman will fall madly in love with him. Alyx is witty, quick, passionate and challenges Raine every chance she gets. This book is a definite winner.

Summary: I had hoped for a lot better!
Review: This has been my least favorite Deveraux novel. Raine was the Montgomery brother that I looked forward to reading about the most, yet it was his story that I was most disappointed in! I did not like the heroine. She came across as ignorant and small minded. SO not like the woman one would imagine for open minded, caring Raine. It was simply Alyx (the heroine) that ruined the book for me. She somewhat came around at the end, but it just seemed like Ms. Deveraux was missing something in the chosen personality, choices and comments made by the heroine. Raine's character has always been the defender and fighter of those less fortunate. He sees them on a somewhat equal level (a HUGE thing for the Elizabethan era), yet Ms. Deveraux places him with a heroine who is close minded and down right prejudice! It didn't seem fitting, in my opinion. I loved all of the Velvet Series except for this one. I re-read the other three all of the time, but I cannot force myself to re-read this one. It was difficult to get through the first time. (*A recommendation about The Velvet Series: Be sure to read them in order. They are far more enjoyable (and make more sense) this way. However, Ms. Deveraux writes in such a way that even if you read them separately, they still come together nicely. The series (in order) consists of: The Velvet Promise, Highland Velvet, Velvet Song and Velvet Angel.)
