I Loved this book!

I really Loved reading this book. This was the first Christina skye book I ever read and it's what got me hooked onto her other great books!

Captivates you!

Captive to a handsome Lord whose silver-flecked eyes glittered with anger as he snatched Alexandra from the London streets. Her fiery loveliness had ignied a case of mistaken identity but now there was no mistaking Hawkeworth's naked passion.Captive to her own heart when his teasing kisses unleased a woman;s ecstasy she didn't understand but craved with a wanton's desire.Captive to the past which haunted them both, making her a pawn in a treahcerous game that could crush her sweet dreams of midnight passiona and wild,reckless love.. (text taken from book cover )Okay this book may not be for the overly sensitive. It may be rather rough at times but at least this book is not boring. ITs a typical historical romance from the great Christina Skye and if you like her style this book will not be a dissapointed. ITs an early book and similar to the Black Rose in style (another winner). What i find frustrating is that Alexandra is not able to convince HAwke she is not his wife...that is a little unbelievable...but aside from those minor discrepanices this books is certainly great material. Its detailed, the characters explored and full of passion, action, intricacies etc -all that is needed to make a romance one that is extremely enjoyable to read ---personally i prefer romances like these rather than overly sweet romances where the main characters fall in love at first site and face almost no troubles..etc way to boring for me!. Give me Christina Skye any time!

Great writing!

It is hard to believe from the very first paragraph that this is her first book. It is polished and powerful writing. The witty dialogue and great characters are well developed here. I read this book years ago, and I became a fan after the first paragraph! It's so nice to know you are in the hands of a wonderful storyteller, and after all these years I have not been dissappoined yet.
