Summary: Just Too Boring
Review: I wish Ms. Small would realize her forte is in writing historical fiction, not romances. This book is so much more about the politics of the English Civil War than about the relationship of two people.

Summary: Pretty Good, but not on par with her earlier books
Review: Just Beyond tomorrow was a good bedside read, however it lacks the spark found in earlier books (Kadin/Love Wild & Fair/Skye OMalley, etc.). I found Flanna to be immature (although she is a country girl and not the regular world-wise heroine)- even up till the end, and Patrick to be somewhat of a wimp. Not at all like his father, James Leslie.If you are a Beatrice Small fan, you will definately enjoy the book, but wind up a bit disappointed too.

Summary: Simpering Fools a no go
Review: No reader wants a simpering mamma's boy as her hero. She wants a slightly overbearing man who is strong in his beliefs and strong in his physique. I do not want a hero to tell his heroine, "that is not the way my mother did it." For me, that killed the book right there. Also the heroine is a bit of a simpleton although that is her charachter being from the back woods but I think she could have caught on quicker.

Summary: move on PLEASE
Review: ok, I dont know about anyone else but I am getting pretty tired of seeing the same family in these books. This much misfortune can not happen in one family. Move on....why have 3 books on the same woman...its boring we know her personality already. Be creative invent something new....and enough with the harems please. 1 or 2 is great...they are supposed to be mysterious and forbidden...not supposed to happen in every book. I am a fan of Ms. Smalls but, she needs to come out with some new and improved books with new and improved plots and characters.

Summary: The Legacy Continues.....
Review: Once more into the breach, or at least back to the familiar places of Glenkirk and Queens Malvern. Patrick Leslie, the new Duke of Glenkirk must find a wife and the usual shenanagins that occur in a Bertrice Small happen again. The historical backdrop is the struggle for Charles II to regain his throne from Cromwells army. We are regaled with the usual willful females and stubborn males that we have come to expect, as well as the various feasts in which vast quantities of pink country ham, roasted capon and nut brown ale always figure so prominently. Many references are made to the illustrious females of the past; Janet Leslie, Cat, and naturally, Madame Skye. In fact, the reader is very well-informed that a book exists for everyone. There are no harem scenes, however in this one. This book is a good read, the sex as always is great. This novel is much better than her last one, "The Duchess", which I think is her worse book, next to a "Moment in Time. Otherwise, you can never go wrong with a Skye O'Malley book!...

Summary: Long Wait For Not Much
Review: Small should have looked a little farther than just beyond tomorrow. If she had, then this long awaited sequel to Skye's legacy would have been up to par. Small is probably my favorite author and Skye O'Malley is one of the best characters ever. This book really let me down. The characters were not well developed and the story just didn't have the typical Small "oomph." Anything by Small is worth the time it takes to read it, but wait until this one goes on sale or buy it used if you want to get your money's worth.

Summary: JUST BEYOND THE GARBAGE CAN
Review: The Do-Naught Duchess is right. Compared to Skye, Velvet, Jasmine, Janet, and Cat, Flanna is nothing. And unlike all the other books starring those heroines, JBT takes place entirely in Great Britan. WHAT IS UP WITH THAT?! I was SHOCKED to find that Flanna (by the end of the book) has no idea what a harem is. For the love of God, this book really could've used a harem. And Patrick, well, I can't believe he was named for the first and second Earls of Glenkirk. What men they were! This guy is a joke of a man, and while he and Flanna get together in a way that smacks of "A Love for All Time," at least Conn was an interesting man, witty and charming, with a scandalous reputation! Skye O'Malley, I beg you, please rise from your grave and beat the snot out of your descendents. Please.
