Book Reviews of Velvet Song
Book Review: Please Raine on My Parade
Summary: 5 Stars
I've read many of Jude Deveraux's historicals and this is one of my favorites. The book is flawed and it is major comfort food (as opposed to deathless prose) but it's still an enjoyable read. Raine does a lot to salvage it. He's sexy and honorable and stubborn and just plain yummy. Alyx (the heroine) gets a bit whiny at times and she doesn't really deserve Raine in my opinion because Hey, why don't you try talking to the man you're in love with, huh? Huh? No? Oh...
Sorry. Big Misunderstandings in Romance are one of my peeves and this one features several...in fact *counts on fingers* more than five! The book is very good, though, strong conflict, interesting plot. Alyx recovers from her father's death rather quickly and the ending frankly makes me want to bash my head against a wall. Suddenly, out of nowhere, Raine behaves SO TOTALLY out of character for the last 2-3 chapters but since I always skip those and go straight to the HEA its not a problem for me. First time readers might find those last 2-3 a bit of a slog, though, just FYI.
To sum up: Raine is sexy and the breeches plotline makes for some amusing hijinks. The ending, though, taints an otherwise enjoyable bit of junk food reading.
Summary of Velvet Song
They were both outcasts by a harsh decree -- and on the brink of a shared destiny of passion!With her father murdered, her home burned, lovely Alyx Blackelt fled to the woods -- and sanctuary in the camp of Raine Montgomery, a nobleman outlawed by the king's edict. There she hid her beauty in the guise of a boy, and her sorrow in her work as Montgomery's squire.
But how long could such loveliness as hers be hidden? How long could such a gallant man's desires be blind? And how soon -- even as a blood feud raged between the Montgomerys and the Chatworths, as angry swords clattered in the name of family honor -- one woman's love would make all the difference...one woman's love would inflame a hero's passion, touch a king's pity, and raise a song of praise in every English heart.
