Customer Reviews

Skye Mania. Tell it like it is.

It's so nice to see fans of great writing praising my favorite, Christina Skye. She hooked me on her historicals, and now I'm reading contemporaries, just because of her. I envy anyone who has not read her books yet, they have a great treat awaiting them. Me, I've read and reread them and wait eagerly for her next book. Why do we love Skye? Characters, dialogue, pacing, and as a bonus a lesson in the craft of writing for all of us aspiring writers out here.

Christina does it again! Top notch!

Ignore those reviews that trash this book. It is excellent, well thought out, fast paced, and a great read. The title makes the book sound light, but in reality it is very strong. BUY IT! I've been a fan of Christina's since the beginning and was not disappointed when the venue moved from Britain to the desert Southwest. The mysticism is wonderfully done and more subtle than in the Draycott Abbey books. The shape-shifter is wonderful. I look forward to reading more stories from Almost as well as the Draycott Abbey books.

WOW - What a page turner!

First book of Ms. Skye's that I had the pleasure to read -- Very timely story with Y2K just happening! Tess is a very successful ad-exec who finds $1M mysteriously deposited into her bank account on 1/1/2000. After a spirited spending spree (she ends up with a baby blue Mercedes Convertable! ), Tess finds out that she's spent someone's money; that someone being a very dangerous group money launderers etc... She has to run for her life, at her brother's recommendation to a little town, Almost Arizona. She ends up with a Cowboy/Sherriff that is Mel Gibson's lookalike (WOW If I could have that kind of luck!). She finds that she's spiritually drawn to the town through American Indian mysticism & ancient spirits that beckon to her. Its a really cool story - very imaginitive. TJ McCall is one very sexy man! I read the book in 2 days; couldn't put it down.

Christina Skye brings the millennium in in style!

Ms. Skye has given readers a rare treat with her new book 2000 Kisses. I thoroughly enjoyed it and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a fast-paced, thoroughly entertaining read. Pour yourself a glass of bubbly, kick back and bring the millenium in in style, as Ms. Skye has done with her new book.

One of the best authors in romance

On December 31, 1999, in Boston harbor, public relations specialist Tess O'Mara hosts a shipboard party that she has planned, dreamed, and is now executing for the past two years. For the next six-months, guests will sail on a luxurious cruise to celebrate the new millennium. Her boss promises Tess a large bonus. Since he is rich and willing to spend money, Tess expects a generous bonus.On New Year's Day 2000, Tess checks to see if the expected reward has made it into her bank account. The ATM informs her she has $1,000,000 in her account. Tess is a bit surprised, but since she successfully pulled off the opening Millennium event that will bring in millions to the business, she believes it might be hers.After spending a large sum of money, Tess calls her brother a T-man who tells her to leave town immediately. He thinks a Y2K glitch has deposited illegal money in her account. She goes to the safety of Almost, Arizona where his friend T.J. McCall is sheriff. The two opposites feel the immediate attraction and begin to fall in love, but must contend with the money launderers who have traced Tess to Arizona. Even if they live, they know she belongs in Boston while he belongs in Almost.2000 KISSES centers on a Y2K financial glitch that leads readers to a taut romantic suspense. The fast-paced story line contains humorous elements mostly provided by the secondary cast who want the charming lead couple to remain together. Indian mysticism adds a bit of local flavor to the mix. With exciting novels like 2000 KISSES, the sky's the limit for the incomparable Christina Skye.Harriet Klausner
