Heaven on Earth is an antidote for people who are tired of reading romances full of distrust, arguments, smarmy villains, and the like. However, perhaps because of the lack of those elements, it drags at times. I’m usually glad to read a romance where the hero and heroine are able to talk, but sometimes it’s…
Susan Grant makes a strong debut with her time travel romance Once a Pirate. Her background as an USAF pilot brings authenticity to heroine Carly Callahan, who ejects into the sea 1200 miles off the coast of Spain after her plane malfunctions. When Carly is rescued, it is the early 1800’s and she is aboard…
Is this a paranormal? Is this a time travel? Is this a mystery? The answer is a little of each. A Slip in Time can be seen as a straight time travel, but here the stress is more on the process than the actual event. Whatever it is, A Slip in Time is a captivating…
Beyond Forever is a book that instantly hooked me with its charming characters, began to lose me with its repetitive and often frustrating middle, but then picked up again with a heartwarming end. Julia Fairfax arrives at Castle Dunmore in the Scottish Highlands with her orphaned niece and her grandmother and plans to spend the…
I’m willing to suspend my belief in the laws of physics and the impossibility of time travel, as long as the story’s told with panache and a dash of credibility. Add a mythical creature that’s close enough to fact, and the story’s even better. But gosh darn it, there had better be a hero I…
Some C level books are run-of-the-mill and mediocre, while others suffer from some detail the reviewer simply couldn’t tolerate. The Raven’s Lady has neither problem. Instead, it should be classified under could-have-been-excellent – which is the most frustrating category of all. Herbalist Eibhlin (or Eileen with 20th century spelling) travels to Ireland to revisit the…
Sir Niall of Malloy is a fourteenth century English knight who acts as prison guard for a witch-hunting archbishop. One day, the witch he is to escort to her bloody death is young, comely, and, we are told, “a merry twinkle danced in the warm hazel of her eyes.” Her name is Viviane and she…
Think of eating white rice without any kind of seasoning or accompaniment, and that pretty much sums up reading A Matter of Time. It’s certainly not a bad book, but while I wasn’t cringing in horror, I wasn’t enthralled either. Douglas MacKendimen is hunky doctor with a strange heritage. His parents claim to have time-traveled…
Is it possible to travel through time and not remember your previous life? I didn’t think so, but apparently for Amelia Baldwin it is possible and apparently is exactly what has happened. While I was able to follow most of the story fairly easily, this little twist threw me off and left me somewhat confused…
Crafting a love story set amidst tragedy is always a chancy proposition. In A Time for Dreams, author Jen Holling succeeds, to a degree. Although I had some difficulty with the writing style, and found the hero and heroine less than totally engaging, the story was compelling enough to keep me going to the believable…
