Come the Dawn by Christina Skye

Christina Skye has wrote some the best romance novels I have read in my whole life. My favorites of hers are historial novels she wrote in the 1990's. A truly wonderful book.

Awesome Adventure and Love Story

In this sequel to Come the Night you will find a wonderful blend of passion and adventure as well as being reintroduced to the eccentric Delamere family.India has returned home after a year after witnessing the horrors that accompanied the battle of Waterloo where she waited for the handsome and charming, reckless adventurer the 12th Earl of Thornwood, Devlyn Carlisle. Waiting patiently as one after another wounded soldier came back she lived in hope until she was told that someone witnessed Devlyn being cut down on the battlefield with a bayonet through his chest - a wound that no one could survive.She had lost much more than her love, but after a year of mourning it was her grandmama that would insist she put away her mourning and attend a ball, after all she was the Delamere heiress and had a duty to marry and carry on the Delamere line. She would hide her pain and smile as if her heart were whole and not left on the battlefield of Waterloo. At the ball she looked across the floor and saw the face of the man all thought was dead - his face but a stranger who looked back. Set in the aftermath of Waterloo, Lord Thornwood is on a mission to thwart the efforts of a band of sympathizers that are working to free Napoleon. Spies, intrigue and murder as desperate people search for Napoleon's diamonds to fund another war. The story is bittersweet, but oh so lovely of India loving the very handsome Devlyn, Earl of Thornwood who had no memory of the love they briefly shared, or did he? Was the last mission he must undertake more dangerous than the battlefield. Would the loss, be more painful to him, to risk losing the love of the only woman that ever meant anything to him for the sake of his country? It is a story most poignant and sweet. India would not give up without a fight and found herself constantly in trouble as she sets out to solve the mystery of Lord Thornwood. India and Devlyn are a great couple and the addition of so many new and familiar secondary characters make this a wonderful fast-paced adventure. The three children that are Devlyn's wards are simply sweet and their dialogs add some levity to this adventure and mystery. One of the children, Alexis, should definitely have her own story. And what can be said of the Duchess of Cranford other than we really need to see her story (hint, hint Ms. Skye). Wonderful story, characters you can become involved with and want to hear more from! I really hated to see it end!

Its spellbounding narration simply stole my breath away!

This is my first time reading Christina Skye's novels and I loved every page of her story telling! Which is the reason why I'm at this site now - scanning for a list of her other books! I am amazed by the way she weaves romance together with adventure so successfully, that I didn't feel the urge to skip pages. In fact, the plot is refreshingly exciting, and I know it's ironic to say it, but hey, this is one romantic story! What I mean to say is, there are so many romance books out there, and some plots are overly stale. I just love the way Ms Skye brings us thru the story, falling in love with the characters, and actually trying to understand and gasp at what love is about. She deserves 5 Stars, NO LESS!!!

Amazing

I loved it. It is a stunning novel, one that transports the reader into the lives of Dev and India, while they are transported into the readers' hearts. I finished it in 2 hours.

This is an insight into the facade of our emotions.

Ms. Skye has a way of making you feel as though you are right there with the charactors during the entire story.I hated to put this one down. I finished it in 3 hours. Ms. Skye makes you think of how it would feel should your lover lose his memory at the very beginning of the story.She then proceeds to take you through the feelings of how it is to be in love and not to have that love returned.She shows you how to it is to feel betrayed and to feel very muched loved.This is one of the best romances I've ever read.
