Summary: Great books here!!!
Review: i love all of her books but she has really done it this time!!! this is a great book and i recommend that everyone take the time out of your busy lives to read some of Betrice Smalls books!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Bravo!
Review: BEATRICE SMALL has done it again with SKYE O'MALLEY! An adventured filled romance that blows formula romances away. Ms. Small has created a tremendously strong heroine with Skye. You can't help but wish you could be in her shoes as she is loved and loves throughout her wild adventures. You will definately enjoy this novel, SKYE O'MALLEY, and will rush to read the sequels!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Heavenly Skye!
Review: I read this book many years ago when it first came out. After reading a lot of the reviews I'm ready to read it again. Skye was one of the best romance characters that I have ever read. But then, I have long loved Beatrice Small and her books. They are simply the BEST! I think I need to round up the series (you know I have them all!) and just read them from the first to the last! For anyone romance readers, you MUST add this and all of Ms. Smalls' books to your reading list. Trust me, you WILL NOT be disappointed!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Skye O'Malley
Review: This was the first book of Bertrice Small's that I have ever read and from the first chapter, I was hooked. Skye is such an interesting character that by the end of the book, I felt like she was a friend of mine. I was so excited when I found out that there is a whole continuing series about Skye O'Malley and her descendants. This is one of the few books I have ever read that I can read over and over again. Bertrice Small makes all the different countries in the book sound so beautiful and interesting, that when I put the book down, I am actually surprised to be sitting in my living room. I recommend EVERYONE to buy and read this book. You will be hooked on not just the Skye O'Malley series, but ALL of Bertrice Smalls books.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: It Must Be Me
Review: Am I the only woman in the world who doesn't like Skye O'Malley? I've read the whole series, and I keep coming back to the same conclusion--I just don't like the woman. Why? She's more superheroine than woman! I go back over this one and try counting the things she can't do, and gosh darn, it seems like she can master everything. Okay, granted, maybe this isn't a bad ideal for a character. But the one thing I always look for in a character and I found lacking in Skye is the human element. Sure, she goes through a lot, but it always seems to get patched up by her fabulous jewels or her wealth or her off-the-scale beauty. Sorry, but Skye O'Malley makes me a little sick to my stomach.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Sensuality great, true romance means paying your dues...
Review: Perhaps you'll be surprised I didn't care for the book after reading this. This is my second Beatrice Small book. There's a definite theme brewing, and I think it's that her heroines are smart, strong and have the worst luck, over and over again, of any person alive.

Somehow during discovering -- make that rediscovering -- her true mate, she manages to have sensual and loving and learning situations along the way (over and over again) without losing her intelligence or independence.

The bad luck -- or amnesia -- is frustrating and beyond even romance novel beleivable bounds. I actually stopped reading this book --o.k. the writing (not the storyline) was good enough that I picked it back up two weeks later.

All the characters, heros and heroines as well, appear to live in self gratification. It's apropos for a heroine to leave young children to travel to London and furnish a new home or travel the seas in the name of the family business or for a hero to "spread bastards across the countryside" or something to that effect.

Finally, Beatrice Small is undoutedly a talented writer and her books are awesomely sensual, this romance is a little depressing to consider all the lost time, although some might say it's realistic. I found it frustrating. Regardless, you won't be bored.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great romance...Strong heroine
Review: This is one of the best books I've ever read. This is the second book I have read from Bertrice Small and it definetly won't be the last. The book sweeps you to other lands and describes how everything appears in great detail. The main character, Skye O'Malley is a strong woman for her time. She stands up to men during a time when woment were just considered sexual objects and useful only to bear children. Its a great book and a fast read.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: This is where romance novels get their bad reputation...
Review: I am an avid reader of the romance genre (the kind of reader that finishes a 600 page book in a sitting). My conclusion about this book -- this is where romance novels get their bad reputation. The creation of the main character Skye is dependent on two things: her actions and her words. Ms. Small's story is interesting -- but to listen to the character's interact was most painful. No natural discourse would sound like this -- and her imagination when it comes to speaking "in the heat of the moment" is seriously lacking. Furthermore, the novel has some extremely perverse sexuality that could be disturbing to some readers.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Skye O'Malley
Review: This is the best book I have ever read, and I have read many. I keep coming back to it to where it is falling apart. Skye is corageous and intelligent. You will never forget her. You will not want the book to end.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Unforgettable!
Review: I have read the entire Skye O'Malley saga...This first book gets you hooked right from the start. You will fall in love with Skye all of her lovers and feel all of her pain. Bertrice Small is an excellent author and her historical accuracy makes her novels come to life. I give this book a 5 star rating because it is the beginning of an extraordinary adventure legacy that will stay with the readers forever.
