Bride of the Mist (Draycott Abbey Romance Book 3)

For the most part, I enjoyed book. There were a lot of things that I liked about it. I love anything to do with Scotland, castles, and the paranormal. I liked Duncan and Kara's chemistry. I loved how it flipped from present day to the past, telling of two love stories. There was romance, action, mystery and suspense. Definitely enough to hold my attention!Unfortunately, there were things that I felt were odd, confusing or out of place. 1. I felt there should have been more information on the ghost and more interaction with him. 2. Duncan was so skeptical when it came to Kara's psychic ability, kept thinking she was playing him, but then later on in the book says that his mother was a psychic. If his mother was one, it should not have been so hard to believe. 3. Some of the sexual lines were just bad. One would expect that someone as smooth as Duncan would not talk as if he were in a bad 80's porn flick. It's hard to explain, but it just wasn't sexy. Most of it was just corny. I've never read a book that made me wish they would hurry and get the sex scene over with. The scenes were better towards the end of the book, though. Also, who in the world is going to start talking about the female's ex-boyfriend when they are about to have sex???? That was just really odd. 4. It was like Kara had dual personalities. One being a normal, confident female and the other annoying, insecure, and shy. 5. I had really hoped for a better ending. Yes, there was a HEA, but I would have liked to have been told how the magazine issue she was working on throughout the story turned out. I also would have liked to have read about Kara and Duncan getting married. It just seemed like a hasty ending. I'm sorry if it seems like I am complaining too much. Overall, the book was great. I just feel there are things that could have been improved.

I really enjoyed this story. It ties along with 'Hour of the Rose' as my favorites in the Draycott series.The pairing of Duncan and Kara is explosive. I couldn't get enough of their interactions. They loved, argued with such passion. At times I felt so rung out after all the emotional turmoil they had to go through. I loved that Kara was psychic and could sense Duncan's every emotion. It would be interesting to have such a gift knowing your husband could never get away with a lie.I did think the secondary story, of the two as past lovers seemed unnecessary. It was nice to read, but IMO, it didn't really add to the plot with the small exception of the long bow. The cat and mouse hunt with Duncan's brother Kyle was more than enough to sustain the tension throughout.A couple of things seemed inconsistent. Michael Burke is Nicholas' half-brother but he is referred here as merely an old friend. In 'Bridge of Dreams' he was Uncle Michael to Genevieve, but now, that connection is intentionally glossed over? Also, in 'Bridge of Dreams' I recall Genevieve was mentioned as being 5 years old. That story occurs before this one, yet now the child is said to be 4 yrs. old. It's a small quibble I know, but it just stuck out for me.

It is hard to be a physic an endure all the stress and heartache while helping the authorities to solve various crimes. When she foresees a death in Scotland she finds it hard to convince the laird that he is in danger. She wants to have a photo shoot at his castle but first she has to make him trust her. Knowing he could be her true love.

The passion, suspense, everything about these stories are wonderful. I enjoy reading and even re-reading them. They are so tastefully written. I can't put them down until the last word is read. They are worth every minute spent reading and every cent purchasing. I am looking forward to reading the next one, and the next one.........

I bought this book. A long time ago (15 + years?) I read several of the Draycott Abbey books and loved them. Ms Skye has not disappointed me. This one really is a 6 star. Kara is a sensitive and has helped police when they hit the proverbial brick wall. It takes a lot out of her. So she decides to go to Scotland and try to convince the owner of the Dunraven Castle to allow a bride's magazine to do a photo shoot. That way she can hide from the police and do her job for the magazine. She has had reoccurring visions and words that didn't make sense. Will the visions keep her from doing her job? What about the words she hears that are linked with Dunraven Castle?

I really liked this book. The way the author seamlessly plots her way through both the past and the present and ties it all together is wonderful. the characters are written so full of life you could believe they are real, the story is just as believable. This is the first book I have read by this author and it will not be my last.

I love that she mixes modern-day romance with historical! It's the perfect combination. When first encountering Duncan, I was so upset because I didn't understand or realize that he wasn't the bad guy, but the Scottish laird of a woman's dreams! Definitely a totally awesome read and I highly recommend. Every one of her novels is so compelling and I loved the intense sight of Kara!

I have read other books by this author and some on the theme of Draycott Abbey. I have always liked these books and I enjoyed this one immensely! All the characters were good and it kept me hooked on the book until the end. I recommend it wholeheartedly! You will not be disappointed.

Christina Skye has never disappointed me with her ability to convey such depth of emotion, meaning and suspense into her written works. This book is no exception as it continues the Draycott Abbey series with phenomenally twisting plots.I loved it! The book description adequately describes the story and anyone interested in the unusual, suspenseful, romantic or paranormal will be happily entertained by this book.Easily fluid and with a depth of detail that allows the characters to leap from the page and into the imagination of the readers, this book is at the top of my ‘must keep forever’ list.It isn’t everyday that you come across a reader that not only resides forever on my Kindle, but that I would then go any purchase the paperback/hardback for my shelves.Keep them coming Christina Skye – I’m loving them!

Whilst a good story it didn't seem to hold my full attention and found myself easily distracted wishing that the book ending was near. I think that this was because of the predictive nature of 'visions' which I felt were overdone and the dialogue between main players felt at times to leave matters unresolved between them, going round the houses and rehashing old arguments..... omg did it go on and I found myself thinking here we go again :(

I love love loved it. It elsa captivating book. The characters, the plot and the paranormal touch with romance is genius.

All her Draycott Abbey have the romance overlaid with the supernatural. A real feast for the mind and heart, and Bride of the Mist does not disappoint.

Loved it
