Customer Reviews

Completely Enjoyable.

I had read a few other Kimberly Cates books and quite honestly, they were just o.k. I had one more book of hers to read, the Raider's Daughter, and having not read the Raider's Bride, I was not expecting much. But I was so pleasantly surprised. This had a very believable story line, with real tragedy that can actually be felt by the reader. There were just enough twists and turns to make it interesting without crossing over to unbelieveable. And Little Nattie alone will win your heart. Very enjoyable read.

A little slow starting but enjoyable.

This is the sequel to the incredibly wonderful "the raiders bride" and will be much more meaningful to someone who read that book first. In fact this book hinges on that one a great deal.Lucy d'Autrecourt Blackheath lives in colonial virginia with her mother and stepfather, the notorious raider pendragon. She is doted on (because of earlier tragedies) and is very headstrong and willful and always into mischief. She receives a note from England telling her that her birth father is alive and since there were many secrets surrounding him and his supposed deathshe convinces her family to let her visit england so she can surrepticiously pursue it. And of course she gets into a great deal of trouble. She winds up forced into marriage to the angst ridden earl of valcour who has past tragedies of his own. In our terminology, these are 2 (traumatic stress disorder)individuals who eventually help each other recover from their horrible youth.

AWESOME

I thought this book was outstanding. As a person who loves both music and horses, i was glad to find a well written book that combined the two. I have read many books, and The Raiders Daughter is very high on the list. In my opinion the definition of a good book is one that keeps the reader guessing, and doesn't contain an obvious ending. This book definatly kept me guessing. It was well written with a very well developed plot. A must read!!
