Customer Reviews

After a year of suspence....

I've finally read the last Cheney Duvall, M.D. book. I've loved every minute spent reading this delightful series. Cheney, Shiloh, Victoria, Dev, Richard, Irene, and the rest of the cast have become like friends to me. The Morrises are incredible writers, bringing to life the fictitious characters. After reading the first 7 books of the series, I waited with increasing anticipation for the final book to be published. It took me two days to read it, and I wasn't disappointed in the least! I'm not sure I would say this was the best book in the series, but it is certainly a wonderful end to it. Throughout Driven With The Wind, Cheney has another one of her adventures, becoming an even more exciting character, and Shiloh shows us a different side of him. It was great to see them develope in new, unfamiliar circumstances. Read it for yourself, you won't be disappointed.

An excellent end and beginning for Cheney and Shiloh!

I believe that the characters were completely acting like themselves in Driven With The Wind. There was only one part, very small, in the first chapter that seemed out of character, but everything else followed their personalities perfectly. This book was more thoughtful and it displayed more of every character's personality than any previous one, but it still had that adventure aspect tucked in there in the shape of Bain Winslow and Dev's mysterious past. Also, you will not want to miss the arrival of Cheney's aunts, who offer their own fresh flavor to the book. Overall, you will not want to miss this book, even if you think it is not very good, because it is a necessary part to the series. And I can't wait for the new series, Cheney and Shiloh: The Inheritance, to begin.

Long awaited sequel to Island of the Innocent

Giving readers a rest from the thrills of the action/adventure oriented Island of the Innocent, Gilbert and Lynn Morris take Driven With the Wind into more emotionally charged territory. Shiloh Irons-Winslow and Cheney Duvall battle with their differences as they try to find a way to make a more lasting relationship of their three-year-old friendship. Devlin Buchanan's past comes back to haunt him just as happiness with Victoria DeLancie seems within his grasp.And Bain Winslow, everyone's favorite villian, is back. But this time Bain escapes his former clichéd character and emerges in a strong supporting role. Set at a slower pace than previous books in the series, Driven With the Wind never the less holds the reader's attention while carefully solidifying and fine tuning the characters of the cast. Driven With the Wind delivers a satisfying finale to the first part of the Cheney Duvall series and lays a promising groundwork for the many books that we all hope will come.

Best Book Ever

I am a long time reader of the Cheney Duvall books. I read this one six times in one weekend. It is the best yet. It has much more about Cheney and Shiloh's relashionship than the others, but still has it's fair share of thrilling adventure. I won't ruin it for you but I will say that I loved the first twenty pages, and the last 100 pages, but the middle of the book made me want to pull my hair out. You get so frustrated with Cheney and Shiloh, and Dev and Victoria. There is a lot more about Dev and Victoia and Dev's past in this book. I totally feel in love with this book and know you will to.

Cheney Duvall, MD #8

Since Book #7 came out in 1998, I had been waiting impatiently for this book, so when it finally came throught the mail, I was estatic, and proceeded to devour it in one evening. After waiting two years for it, I found that it was well worth the anticipation. After Island of the Innocent, I wasn't sure if the characters' horrifying situations could be surpassed, but Lynn and Gilbert Morris seem to have done it. Many times, I fought my desire to read the final page, just to ensure that everything turns out alright, because you never know. I did manage to leave the ending for the end though, and it was well worth it. Although there are a few areas that could have been described in greater detail(not that I could have done a better job), it was very well written, and an excellent job was done of bringing back characters previously encountered. And if you have never before read any of the Cheney Duvall series, you won't be at a loss, the instances in which they were seen before are recapped (I suppose that this helps those of us who haven't read the others in a while too.) Anyway, it was a wonderful book and already I find myself waiting impatiently for the next. Enjoy!
