The second book in the Skye O’Malley saga, this book again follows the life and adventures of the heroine. Out of all the books in the series, and the legacy books as well, this is the one I have read the least and am therefore the least familiar with. Having just finished it, I cannot recall why I have never tended to reach for this one.
When we last left Skye in the first book, titled after the very woman, she was on her way home with her best friend, Adam, and her now fourth husband, Niall. Tragedy seems to follow Skye as this is how All The Sweet Tomorrows opens up, with Niall believed to be dead. After many months, which include a terribly mismatched political marriage, and a few liaisons with lovers, it is discovered that Niall actually survived the attempted murder. Skye then goes on a risky rescue mission in order to save him. A good chunk of the middle of this tale is why I don’t consider it a favorite of mine, which includes Skye’s failed fifth marriage and her adventures in the East, as it is just so incredibly frustrating to read about the things that happen to this woman. Her fifth husband is a cruel and unusual man with whom she tries to find some peace and common ground with, as she cannot see herself ever loving him. In the East she is forced to become a harem slave in order to save Niall and the things that happen to her are degrading and barbarous, you truly end up hating her vicious master, Kedar.
The very beginning and the majority of the end of the book are why I decided that I do love it. You get to learn more about Skye’s extended family as she actually gets to interact with a lot of them for once rather than only seeing them briefly in between her many adventures. And we are also introduced to her youngest brother, Conn, who is one of the main characters in the third book, which I will be reading next week. So if you loved the first book, continue with the second, because you will want to make your way through the entire series.
I have also included a picture in which I marked all the good spicy scenes, as this is a historical romance.
