Love this Recipe that Works For Skye

This is the 2nd Christina Skye novel of the Draycott Abbey series that I have read (Hour of the Rose - my first) and I really love this gal's writing and stories. The first had an english Lord coupled with an American gifted with second sight. This book - Bride of the Mist - gives you a Scottish Lord - cousin to the Earl of Draycott Abbey and tossed together with another American who has an even stronger psychic connection to days past at Draycott Abbey and Dunraven Castle. One thing, the story does not lack though is an unstopable pace that has you racing to finish the story holding your breath with each turn of the page! An exciting plot, with breathtaking descriptions of the castles, the abbey and the beautiful landscapes of England and Scotland. And one shouldn't forget the extremely sensual romantic and descriptive love play! Oh yes, this one is hot, hot, hot! - Could this be why I stay up half the night getting to all these juicy good parts? Wonderful and exciting writing. I love the guardian ghost, Adrian and his cat Gideon - these stories make me yearn for the British Isles to see if I can find these sexy male heroes! - Dont' breathe a word to my husband though!Definitely a keeper book and a MUST BUY for this author!

this is a fantastically written book about love and hope

THIS WAS THE FIRST OF HER BOOKS THAT I HAVE READ AND I JUST COULD NOT PUT IT DOWN. THE CHARACTERS ARE UNFORGETTABLE AND ARE FULL OF HOPE,PASSION, AND HONOR, BUT DON'T FORGET PRIDE. I ONLY READ BOOKS ABOUT SCOTLAND AND I HAVE FOUND A FAVORITE AUTHOR. CHRISTINA SKYE WEAVES AN UNFORGETTABLE STORY ABOUT TWO PEOPLE FROM DIFFERENT WORLDS THAT ARE BROUGHT TOGETHER BY AN ANCIENT CASTLE AND AN ANCIENT PROPHECY. KARA FITZGERALD AND DUNCAN MACKINNON ARE UNFORGETTABLE AND VERY PASSIONATE. THE CAT FROM THE DRAYCOTT ABBEY IS KNOWN AS GIDEON AND I LOVED HIM SO MUCH ALSO THAT I NAMED A KITTEN AFTER HIM. I GIVE THIS BOOK 5 + STARS AND RECOMMEND IT TO ANY NEW ADULT ROMANCE READERS AND IT MAKES THE PERFECT GIFT FOR THE WIFE WHO LOVES HISTORICAL ROMANCES.

IT WAS GREAT!

This is the fabulous love story of Duncan MacKinnon, the sixth laird of Dunraven and Kara Fitzgerald, an American with the gift of Sight. The two get involved in intrigue, murder and with each other. It's a great story filled with ghost and legends. It's yet another winner of the fantastic Draycott Abbey series. You'll love it. Trust me!

This deserves MORE THAN 5 STARS!

After reading Christina Skye's historical romances, I was reluctant to give the Draycott Abbey series a go. You see, I'm a romance freak, and somehow, I've always preferred historical romances to contemporary ones. But, as luck would have it, I finished all her historical romances, and I was starved for more of her writing. In the end, I gave up, and decided to try and give it a shot. I wasn't very hopeful that I would like it - I mean, how real can it be, a contemporary romance with a resident ghost?! I had to eat my words. I loved every page of her book! Now, I'm hooked, and I can't wait to get my hand on her remaining books. In fact, from now on, her name will be signature enough for me to buy ALL of the books that she has, published. I just pray feverently that she will not neglect the historical romances she weaved so well - I'm dying to know what happened to Conner Mackinnon, Duncan Mackinnon's ancestor!! Somebody please tell Christina to follow up on that one! With one to two books out each year, Christina Skye can't write enough to satiate my thirst for her books!

Intriguing

The Bride of the Mist is a very good book.However,it was unnecessary to have the main characters' full names every twenty pages.All in all,it is still an interesting book. The hero, Duncan Mackinnon had the good sense to still want the heroine despite the fact that it was the honorable thing to leave her.Most heroes leave the heroines because they think they don't deserve them.It isn't until the end of the story when the heroines are saved, then the heroes want to have the heroines back into their lives. Kara Fitzgerald, a brilliant women with the ability to forsee danger in the future and know what people are thinking. Kara was hurt once very badly, but she still accepted Duncan's proposal. Kara still believed in love despite her past. The hero and the heroine are both fascinating characters. The secondary characters make the book more interesting. If there ever were a Draycott Abbey book that must be read,then the Bride of the Mist is the right choice.Five stars for Christina Skye.
