Skye O'Malley (O'Malley Saga Series #1)

Incredible Historical Romance at it's finest!!!

Skye O'Malley was the first of Ms. Small's books that I ever read. I became an immediate fan of both the incredible Skye O'Malley, and the tallented author who created her! This book, and the entire Skye O'Malley series represent historical romance as it was supposed to be written!!!

This is my favorite book of all.

I was taken by the main character, Skye O'Malley. She is a strong, intelligent woman who comes out on top of things no matter what life deals her. Skye is my most favorite character -- I even named a cat after her.

A must read!

If you like adventure & history combined with a strong woman who accomplishes more than is expected of her, then you must read this book and the rest of the saga. I love Beatrice Small and have been reading her stories for years. As I read her stories, her books come alive and take me back to the days of Queens and nobility.

Recommend O'Mally Series

I loveed this series and Beatrice Small

One of the best romantic reads ever.

I have read the entire Skye O'Malley series of books (about 12-15 of them) in hardback and paperback. There were two that I had to buy for my nook so that I could read them over and over again. Bertrice Small is one of the best historical romance writers. All the histroy in her books is factual. She describes the meals that they would eat, the mode of dress for both the women and the men, and what life was like for the time period, without being boring. And the romatic scenes are steamy. You get so attached to the characters that you don't want the books to end. And that's why you have to read all the books in the series. Again, one of the best romantic reads ever. Thank you Ms. Small.

Awesome!:)

Wow cant wait to read the next one!:)

wonderful!

wonderful!

Amazing!

Beatrice Small makes you fall in love with the era and the characters in the book.
This book is a MUST BUY!!

Terrific Book

I read the "The Border Chronicles" entire series and "The Friarsgate Inheritance" series. I had read these several years ago but loved them so that I ordered all of them again to keep in my library. I started the "The O'Malley Saga" had been looking for the first book "Skle O'Malley" until I found she had released again. I so enjoy her stories, strong woman who go through much but at the end land on their own two feet. I feel for these women for all they have to deal with, from losing their true love to finding it again, to finding new love with someone else. You keeping hoping that at the end of the story she does find her 'happily ever after'.

Fabulous read!

I have read this book more times than I can remember...just added it to my library to read again. One of my all time favorites! Excited to get started on it again...might have to purchase the entire Skye O'Malley series. If you like period romance, adventure, pirates, drama, etc.. etc..this one has it all. You won't be disappointed! I would give it 10 stars if I could

The best read!

I love the richness of the characters, the history and stories. I always reread the saga every so often and it's definitely worth it!

Riveting

This was the first book id ever read by Bertrice Small.It was shocking at first But as you go through it it was just Fantastic!!!!! she is my number one favorite Author now I started reading from the library soon i started buying the books wherever i could find them i now own almost all of her books and have read them all more than 3 times .Great work very good eye for detail and an intresting way for me to learn historical facts that i actually retain something i couldn't do in history class. if you read this one you have to read the rest not because you cant read one without the other but because you get drawn in to Skye's world!!!!!

Finally!

This is the best book by Bertrice Small and I have been waiting for over a year for the Nook version! Thanks!

A classic

Skye is a remarkable character. You will love this book if you like strong women, sexy men, adventure, and love!

A reviewer

I read this book back in the late 80's. I cannot tell you how wonderful it is, even today. I have never forgotten the impact of the characters, the paths their lives took or the lingering feeling of something lost when I finished it. Now, in my thirties, I recalled Skye O'Malley and went out to buy the hard cover copy. I have over 200 books in my library ranging from mystery/suspense, biographies, memoirs and such, but this baby is first and foremost in my mind, always. I have just started reading it again...because summer approaches, and what better way to start the hot season than with a hot book. Also, pirates are on the horizon!

Outstanding!

I have read almost all of Bertrice Small's books, and I still count this one my favorite. Excellently written, great charachter development, and wonderful history!

The Best

this is one of my favorite books of all time. Skye is an unforgettable character that is endlessly dynamic and strong. This is a book that everyone should read. I'v read almost every book in the series!

Skye O'Malley!!!

Bertrice Small gave life to one of the greatest heorines of all time when Skye was born. The trials Skye goes thru are tremendous and deeply felt by anyone reading the book. I fell in love with Skye in college and enjoy her stories as much today as back then.

Excellent

This book was awesome. Skye was a real treasure. She was smart, stubborn, beautiful, and esciting. But i don't think it was a good idea for her to love all those men in the book. She must have fallen in love with at least 3 or 4. And there was waaaay to much sex involvement. I like the ocasional sex areas, but whoa, slow down. Othrewise, this book was great.

ABSOLUTE PAGE-TURNER

I've never been a huge historical romance reader...I was absolutely hooked on this book. This is the kind of book that will make you stay up late reading even when you're tired...it'll make you want to read at red stoplights...incredible, never read another like it.
