Customer Reviews

Excellent!!

As much as I enjoy and look forward to reading aything written by Christna Skye, I did all I could to avoid reading any of the Draycott Abbey books. It was lucky for me "Season of Wishes" snuck by me. An absolute must read, I could'nt put down. In fact I would read a few pages, and go back and re-read them again (this made for interesting reading) Season of Wishes was not only charming, and well written, but quite touching.I was thoroughly entertained, and did not want the story to end. Speaking of which, does anyone who has read "Seasons of Wishes" happen to know if any of the characters from this book, appear in any of the other Draycott Abbey books?

Good storyline, but a little slow

This is one of the books in the Draycott Abbey series; I'm not reading them in order, so I don't know where this one fits in. It was a pretty good read, but not as good as 'Bride in the Mist'. It did have the suspense element & the paranormal element in it which I always enjoy, but this time I think CS focused way too much on just the hero & heroine's feelings & thoughts about each other. This story moved rather slow for me & I really found myself wanting to skim paragraphs in this one (the ones that just described more & more feelings & thoughts about each other), where I didn't want to in the other one. I wish CS had spent more time & effort on the action/adventure aspect & had put more into the paranormal memories from the past. I didn't get that good of a picture of the past, nor feel any real feelings for those characters. However, I did really like both our hero & heroine (Ian & Jamee); Neither of them were annoying like so many characters of romance books are. Ian was definitely your strong, sexy Highlander & Jamee was intelligent & independent (without carrying it to stupidity). I enjoy the secondary characters that CS adds to these books & the way they are necessary & add to the story. I do believe it's worth picking up & reading - and I will be trying another in this series.

Magical and Wonderful

I just loved this book and Christina Skye for giving such pleasure in this series.Ian McCall, Laird of Glenlyle, was coerced to serve as a bodyguard to Jamee Night who was being threatened by a potential kidnapper. Ian, a kidnapping expert, does not want to do this as he slowly losing his eyesight but as a favor to his good friend Nicolas Draycott he agrees especially after he is shown a video of Jamee in the throes of a nightmare she frequently has that was caused by her earlier kidnapping as a child. As in most of Skye's previous Draycott books our hero is falling in love with the client but does not tell her he is going blind due to an age old Curse. She in turn, falls in love with this big strong handsome Scot and through some flashbacks of the how and why of the curse they both end up saving each other for each other.Season of Wishes is another magical tale from this extremely gifted author that will both keep you on the edge of your set in suspense and give you a warm and fuzzy feeling as you cheer both of these wounded souls on to the happiness they both deserve.

great read didn't want it to end

Great book with new ghosts. interplays nicely with the other draycott abbey books.

Christina Ske's latest & enthralling romantic suspense novel

The brothers of Jamee Night plead with Ian McCall, Laird of Glenlyle, to serve as a bodyguard to their sister, who has been threatened by a potential kidnapper. Because of a hereditary illness, Ian is losing his eyesight and wants to refuse the job, but succumbs to the sibling's persuasiveness of protecting an innocent, who suffers from nightmares caused by a previous kidnapping. He vows to keep her out of harm's way. While traveling with Jamee, the couple is attacked and Ian manages to keep both of them safe. He soon falls in love with his client, but is afraid to tell her because he is going blind, the victim of the Glenlyle Curse. He does not feel he has anything to offer Jamee or any woman. Jamee reciprocates his feelings as she is healed by Ian's caring. She feels he will protect her, and vows to heal him as he did her. If they survive the kidnappers, Jamee knows that her work is cut out for her if she wants to spend a lifetime of happiness with Ian. Christina Skye's Draycott Abbey series are well loved by romance readers and her latest novel, SEASON OF WISHES, will be well received by fans of Contemporary romance; supernatural romance; New Age sub-genre. The audience will find themselves caring for the hero who protects and loves his Jamee with all his heart and soul. The sky is the limit for Ms. Christina Skye. Harriet Klausner
