I LOVED IT!!!

Ms. Small shows us how she turns "the handsomest man in Queen Elizabeth's court" into a loving and devoted husband. I loved reading about Conn's stopping at nothing to get the love of his life back where she belonged. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who loves reading about England during the 1500's. I love the way Ms. Small describes the clothing of that time period----she goes into quite a bit of detail.
Magnificent Read!

Aidan is one of my favorite characters. I get tired of reading about these ravishingly beautiful heroines. How nice to find a lead character who is rather plain and unsure of herself. Aidan is innocent, proper, shy, and mannerly. She doesn't burst on the scene in a flurry, but rather quietly walks in. We soon find her beauty within and rejoice as she falls in love with Conn. Though she doesn't consider herself a formidable person, she does have a quiet strength which she discovers when she must rescue her daughter. I think you will find more women like Aidan than like Skye O'Malley. Perhaps that is why we like the book so well. More of us can relate to Aidan. I would love to read about more women like her.
hard to find but worth it

this is the only book in the o'malley series that is near impossible to find....but worth every penny. beatrice small's stories carry and lift you to a time and place far away. her research is very well noted and enjoyed.

I will agree that this is the hardest of any of her books to find. I haven't located it yet but I am looking. I will say that Beatrice Smalls books are wonderful!
