Timeless Spring is an anthology of time-travel romances. Ilike a good time-travel romance, but these did little for me. In order to develop a good time travel romance, there needs to be length and breadth, something not available in an anthology format. As such, these stories were told too quickly and romance and depth were…
When Mairie Callahan goes skydiving in the vicinity of Area 51, any X-Files fan worth the salt on her sunflower seeds knows what’s going to happen. The Men In Black will pick the exact time she bails out of the plane to try some experiments. Before Mairie can say, “Mulder, it’s me,” she finds herself…
This is one of those books that has a promising start and some interesting characters. And then it happens. Just when the hero and heroine are growing closer, they suddenly forget how to talk. Then when it becomes most important, they can’t bring themselves to say the “L” word. Another promising book gets derailed. In…
I’ve only read a handful of time travel books, but one thing I’ve noticed about those I’ve read is that some strange occurrence always sends the traveler either backward or forward in time. Some weep over crypts or touch standing stones. In the case of Anne Kelleher’s A Once and Future Love, the hero falls…
Only a very talented writer can take a man sentenced to death and turn him into the kind of hero that is not only appealing, but one a reader can actually feel sympathy for. Deb Stover certainly manages to pull off such a hero, and with panache, in Another Dawn. Luke made a big mistake…
What do you get when you mix a thirteenth century Scotsman, a twentieth century woman, three witches, one real ghost, one fake ghost, a familiar, secondary characters from another novel in the series, a stolen manuscript, a Christmas setting, and a Shakespeare-quoting parrot? A convoluted mess! Christmas Knight is a book with too much of…
Christina Skye has written a masterful time travel tale in Christmas Knight. Readers will fall in love with medieval knight Ronan MacLeod’s chivalry and honor and will find Hope O’Hara equally engaging. Still, there’s a surprising lack of sizzle in this book. Bride of the Mist, an earlier book in this series, went beyond sizzling…
There’s one thing you have to realize about me … I love Jude Deveraux’s books. Her books helped introduce me to the romance genre. Knight in Shining Armor remains one of my all time favorite books. That’s why this is a difficult review for me to write. I didn’t hate Remembrance, but I can’t say…
Those of you who complain that your medieval romances are not real enough, this book is for you. Terri Brisbin’s first novel is a time travel that takes the reader to medieval Scotland. As part of a tour group on a vacation to Scotland, Maggie Hobbs ends up in the village of Dunnedin where the…
You take a partially trained witch who was raised in part by Puritans, add a jaded billionaire, and bring them together. My first thought was (with minimal eye-rolling), only in a romance. After a few pages, I became a believer. In Breath of Magic, Teresa Medeiros demonstrated to me why so many fans believe she…
