“I liked the story however, in my opinion, Raine was portrayed differently from the 1st and 2nd book. His character in this book was a little disappointing.”

“An interesting twist to love discovered! So funny! I laughed so hard! When Alyx was hoping that Raine was going to figure out she was a she. And then when they tupped the first time the end result of him trying to figure out what had happened oh my oh my. ”

“All her life, Alyxandria Blackett's world has revolved around music. So it is while she is deeply immersed in her newest composition alone in the forest when she finds herself fighting off the advances of Lord Pagnell. Although she manages to escape, the rejection isn't taken well by her would-be attacker. That same night, she sees her father murdered and her home burned. And when Pagnell realizes that she has again escaped, he declares her a witch and puts up a big reward for her capture. With the help of their priest, she pretends to be a boy and takes up sanctuary in the camp of outlaws and works as a squire for Raine Montgomery.

A few weeks before, Raine was declared an outlaw by King Henry when he made the mistake of attacking his beloved sister Mary's captor while in command of the king's army. Accused as a traitor, he has hidden himself deep in the forest and became the leader of England's rejects. But while obedience from them came quick and easy, it wouldn't be quite the same with his new squire.
From day one, Alyx has shown contempt for Raine holding his noble birth against him. But as quick as she is to dislike him, she also quickly learns that Raine is nothing like Pagnell. Fearing that she will soon lose her heart to him, she tries to protect herself by hiding behind the pretence of hating him.
VELVET SONG is the third instalment in the Velvet Quartet. If you have read the first two books, you might be a little disappointed to see that Raine is not quite the humorous, easy-going man he once was. Sure, we get to see glimpses of the "old Raine" once in a while, but for most part, he is bitter and quick to believe the worst of Alyx. But having been through so much agony since the tragedy that befell his sister, I could appreciate why he's changed so much. What I couldn't understand though was how he could have stayed away from his own child for so long. As for Alyx, despite her insecurities and constant bellowing, she was much easier to like than the second book's heroine. And the constant bickering between the main characters does provide some humor and I liked the part when Alyx loses her voice and seeing Raine take advantage of the situation.
This was quite an enjoyable read and I liked the way the author set up the pace for the finale - Miles' story (VELVET ANGEL). ”
“This was my favorite of the Velvet series! I love Alyx and Raine together!”
