(Great introduction to Twilight Cove)

(Love is sometime found in the place you least suspect)

(First Time Won't Be the Last)

(Great read with sharp characters, detailed settings)

(Wonderful cute story!)

Carly Nolan has always been alone, a runaway shuttled from foster home to foster home until she escaped to the California desert, where she met Rick Saunders. A month long affair resulted in the birth of his son. Rick is elated about settling down with his new family, but tragedy strikes, and he is killed in a car accident. His family wants baby Christopher, and is willing to pay 7 figures to get Carly out of their lives. Instead, she flees and starts over.

Rick's best friend, PI Jake Montgomery has searched for 6 years for "Caroline" (the name that everyone knew her by) and Christopher. A chance sighting of a painting similar to one he owns in a magazine, painted by Caroline, brings him to Twilight Cove, a seaside community where Carly has started over. He wants to reunite Christopher with his grandmother, not knowing the real reason Carly fled.

Rick is soon smitten with Carly when he discovers that she is not the trashy gold digger Rick's parents made her out to be, and hides his identity, which only makes matter worse when Carly is ready to return his feelings. He also falls for the town, and buys a fixer upper with the intention of getting to know Carly better.

Torn between his emerging feelings for Carly and Chris, and his sense of betrayal to Rick, he keeps his findings a secret from Rick's now-widowed mother, who has suspicions of her own and has him followed on a trip to Twilight Cove. Soon, Carly is served with a custody suit, and discovers what the real meaning of family can mean to someone who thought they were alone in the world.

What could have been the typical movie of the week plot is handled sensitively and the characters come alive on the page. This is the first in a trilogy of books, with Heat Wave and Heartbreak Hotel to follow. If Lover's Lane is any indication of the quality of the series, I surely won't miss them.
Sometime in the past, a young mother is made an offer that most would have to think about. Caroline Graham had plans on marrying her son's father until tragedy struck, causing Rick's untimely death. His parents, millionaires without a sense of humanity, want to raise the only his only son. So they offer Caroline a million dollars for her child. Arthur Litton, the attorney that makes the offer on behalf of the grandparents, is quick to remind Caroline that she would have no chance of winning a court case and would be best to take their offer. When Arthur leaves her that fateful day, she leaves town and seems to have mysteriously disappeared from life.

Fast forward to the present day. Jake is a PI that was assigned to track Caroline down when she first disappeared. He also happened to be a friend of Rick. After everyone else had given up on every find Caroline again, Jake still pursued it, not for the economical compensation from Rick's parents, but for the sake of knowing that his friend's child was being raised properly.

A picture of a painting leads Jake on what he feels will be another wild goose chase. Yet, there is something about that painting that reminds him of the ones that Caroline left behind in her disappearance years ago, that he has to investigate.

The story goes on to have Jake find Caroline; only now she is called Carly. While attempting to find Rick's son, he finds love along the way. I could go on and tell you the story, but it is best to read the book. You will find the warmth of a small town, the fears of a single mother always looking over her shoulder and refusing to open up to anyone and a man that finds true love while never realizing that he also had someone right beneath his nose in love with him.

A must read for any romance fan!

Frederick A. Babb

This was my first venture into reading Jill Marie Landis and it won't be the last. I thoroughly enjoyed the story line of this book. Her writing was smooth and easy to read without being stilted. The plot kept moving along at a good pace and I found the story brought me in quickly and held my attention and curiosity. I'm looking forward to her next book and will definitely seek out previous ones.
I gave it four stars because I felt she could have gone into more depth with the man who took her in and kept her paintings.
Maybe a sequel would be in order? I hope so.

The characters come to life in LOVER'S LANE, a turbulent tale of a young woman running from her past and desperate to keep custody of her son. I'm usually not drawn to books like this one, where it's more a story than suspenseful, but I simply fell in love with it, the characters, the town and the emotional pitfalls faced by Carly, Jake and Anna. I couldn't put it down after the first page. And I actually want to read the second, HEAT WAVE - and I'm not one to get caught up in a series. But it appears they are written as individual books in the same town, which I can handle. I'm not going to go into details of the plot, but I will tell you Landis' effort is well-written and captures your attention from the get-go.
Once again I don't know how I find all these books where you can tell what is going to happen. It was a good story though with a wonderful message and intrigue! You won't be sorry to pick this one up!

For six years Carly Nolan has built a life for herself and her son Christopher, never getting too close to anyone. Nobody in the sleepy little beach community suspects she is running - from the mistakes she made in her youth, the memory of her fiancé Rick and his unexpected death, and the rich, powerful people who want to take away her child. She has carefully concealed her troubled past from the folks in the isolated haven of Twilight Cove. Until now.

Private investigator Jake Montgomery has been looking for elusive Caroline Graham since the day she disappeared with Rick’s baby. All Jake wants is answers. He finally finds her living under an assumed name, no longer a wild teenager, but a beautiful, devoted single mother who captivates him like no one ever has before. As Carly cautiously allows Jake into her life, she begins to trust another person for the first time in a long while. She never imagines that Jake, caught between his mission and his growing passion, poses a threat to her protected world. For if her secrets are revealed, she might lose the child she holds so dear - and the man who possesses the key to her heart.

(i love the hero)

(frankly not worth reading)

(Supermodel Goes Back in Time to Pre-Civil War Louisiana Bayou)

(Gone with the Wind, it ain't)

(Best Yet !!)

the book was a good read. it wasn't the best but i thought it was worth reading and re-reading a few more times. James Baptiste is definitely a hero that i fell in love with. i think that even if everything about the book was a nightmare, i'd still fall for James Baptiste. he's a hero with a lot of baggage and needs saving and that's where the heroine comes in. altho he is very competent too. i didn't mind the heroine, i mean i liked her even tho she did seem like a hypocrite at times. nothing big but she's all about women depending less on their looks but throughout the book she has makeup on. other than stuff like that i liked her.

i think everything from the sub-characters to the main plot could have been better and more developed...but the overall is still ok enough for me. in no way is this a superb book. i mean everything could have been done better but...it turned out as it is.

this is actually one of my favorite book of Sandra Hill. mainly because of James Baptiste (the hero). i simply just loved him. he's nothing at all like Rhett Butler tho. newho, so i gave this 3.5 stars because of James Baptiste and 0.5 stars for everything else that i enjoyed.

worth reading once for some....but a few more times for me.
The heroine gets on the bad side of a voudine and is sent by curse back into the pre civil war south where she is mistaken for a Quadroon, a light skinned woman of color.

The plot is boring even dragging. The characters are two dimensional. And when it comes to period this book does the job badly. The authress should have done better research. It gives the reader hardly any feel of romance and nothing of what life for quadroons was like. Not a feel of the Quadroon balls where they saught white protectors among the southern elite to become their concubines nor the slave market where they were sold as Fancy Girls. It does not even give us anything of the relationships of these women even though their exoticness gave them the reputatation of being the most beutiful women of the south.

Better reading would be The Quadroon by Mayne Reid written before the civil war or Old Creole Days by George W. Cable written after the civil war.
So far, I've read three romances by Sandra Hill, all which I found funny and endearing. However, this book, FRANKLY, MY DEAR, is my least favorite of the three, mostly because I thought it cheesy. Entertaining, but cheesy.

Inspired by "Gone with the Wind," FRANKLY, MY DEAR is a time-travel in which a supermodel from 1996 named Selene is swept back in time to New Orleans circa 1845 by a voodoo curse. At first, she is mistaken for a quadroon (and then a runaway slave), but is saved by handsome James Baptiste, a plantation owner who grudgingly employs her as the governess for his young soon, Etienne. James is no Rhett Butler; at first, he is unbelievably overbearing and rude, but the two quickly fall in love, despite their differences and the fact that Selene intends to return to her own time.

What I enjoyed most about this book was its humor and the repartee between James and Selene, especially at the beginning, when she'd just arrived in the past and was trying to adjust to a backwards culture.

What I enjoyed least was its predictability (the identity of the murderous ghost was pretty much given away at the beginning) and its easy-outs. Almost from the start, Selene learns how to return to her own time, so there is no conflict there. She is also sent back in time with her make-up kit (rather convienently, I might add), which provides the answers to everything.

There were also some characterization issues that bugged me a bit. Etienne seemed too mature for a 5-year old, unrealistically so. Also, there were some things that James did that bothered me immensely, including the scene with the prostitute. Unlike Selene, I was not turned on by this. Turned off, is more like it. Yuck.

Anyway, for all its faults, I still found the book entertaining and easy to read. I also enjoyed the descriptions of life in the Louisiana bayou, and enjoyed being taken back in time to a land of voodoo, mint juleps, and snarly alligators. It sure beats reading about the ton.

Oh, I also learned that there are two time-travel romances related to this one by Sandra Hill. SWEETER SAVAGE LOVE is about Etienne all grown-up and DESPERADO is about the mysterious couple that appears in Selene and James' epilogue.

I read this one over last summer, and I was very enthusiastic to do so. I wanted, so badly, to like this book. But it just wasn't to be.

The things that stuck out in my mind as things that highly annoyed me, was:

1. The heroine. Never have I read about any heroine crying anywhere nearly as much as she does. She is truly the 'watering pot' of the book! She'd have guts to get things done one minute,
then be sobbing wildly about something, some slight, the next!
Drove me bonkers!

2. The hero. Yuck! I never really felt he cared that much about her, really. I just felt like he took her for granted and
took advantage of her upon occassion. I had no really caring for this man at all. And to think, she wasted all those tears on this jerk!

Well, there you have it. Though the time travel aspect was interesting (the reason this book gets 2 stars¬ 1), it just was not enough to save this stinker.

Superior time travels:

The Bushwacked Groom by Eugenia Riley (or any time travel by her)

A Perfect Love by Sandra Landry

Enchanted Time by Amy Elizabeth Saunders

I'm not sure what the wide appeal of Sandra Hill's books is suppossed to be, but if the others are anything like this one,
why bother?

1-10 scale: 3.0 find something worthwhile to do like watching the grass grow. It would be more productive!
Stars: Only 2, and that's only because it wasn't totally without merit, but mostly!
I loved this book and have read it over 3 times.. Sandra Hill knows how to add the right mixture of sassy sayings and fun in her books. I will never get tired of her books she is an Auto- buy for me.. I highly recommend this book to all who love a great time travel and alot of laughs..
Tiring of the pretentious world of high fashion, model Selene heads to New Orleans for one last job and is transported back in time to the Old South, where she meets beguiling planter James Baptiste. Original.
Sandra Hill is an author to watch. Her innovative romances are some of the hottest and sassiest on the market. And her hilariously funny time-travel romances are cutting edge; they're always just a little too racy, raunchy, wild, and funny. If you haven't readGone with the Windor seen the movie, you will still laugh out loud at this half take-off, half homage to one of America's greatest love stories. Sandra Selente ("Selene") is a supermodel whose favorite movie of all time isGone with the Wind.When she finds herself transported back in time to the old South, Selene's only point of reference is the movie. She quickly learns she is not cut out to be a Southern belle. When James Baptiste rescues her, she declares him to be her very own Rhett--until she discovers he has a penchant for blondes. Thank goodness that for Selene "tomorrow is another day."

(fun Time travel romance)

Due to an injury Cord Braddock could no longer perform the physically demanding work of a stuntman. He becomes a Los Angeles private investigator. Though he prefers to take on a bounty hunter role and go after Mad Dog Manson, he accepts the inquiry into what happened to the daughters Reese (see ONCE AN OUTLAW) and Ellie (see ONCE A GAMBLER) of Hollywood powerhouse couple, actors Brad and Linnea Winslow.

He knows the FBI and a private detective on retainer have failed to find any clues re the Winslow sisters, who have vanished for over a year without anyone demanding a ransom. Cord enters the Winslow luxurious house, but when he gets to the attic, he learns what happened to the siblings by inadvertently following their trail back in time to 1877. He meets Maggie Dawson, whose father recently died, but she conceals his death from everyone because she would be forced to vacate the cabin they shared. Cord learns the truth and vows to keep Maggie safe while he seeks out the missing sisters.

The third Stolen From Time travel romance is a fun tale starring a likable lead couple though Cord adjusts too easily to Reconstruction Era America. From the first encounter when she asks if he is Pinkerton as they do not hire anyone with the slightest Indian blood as he has a little until the final denouement, fans will enjoy their encounters and escapades.

Harriet Klausner

Time travel has done its uncanny work once again. Folks best be watchin' out for stuntman-turned-private-eye Cord Braddock—a tall, gorgeous fella with a touch of Navajo blood. He's spent his entire life shunning his ancestral beliefs and fighting his way into the world—until he finds a strange old camera in an attic…

Now he's a sexy twentieth-century hunk stuck in 1878 and Maggie Dawson can't get enough of the stranger. He's exciting. He's exotically dangerous. And he makes her want to do the most unladylike things! Is this about to be Maggie's last stand?

(Lacking sweeter detail)

(WOW!!)

(Sansational comedy! Hot romance!)

(Great cover, good story)

("A fantastic book")

ok, I am not going to go into detail about this book, this has already been done. I thought this was a good story with an ok plot, that is why I gave it 2 stars. However, I thought this book lacked detail where it really mattered. An example of this lack of detail would be during several intimate encounters between the 2 main characters. Often times they would be in a provacative situation, and then the next sentence they are waking up the next morning seperately...come on! I wanted to know how they went their seperate ways. I thought the author went to too much trouble trying to write humor into the story and left out the most important details. This book is worth the read, if you can buy it very cheap. This is not a keeper.
This was one of the best books I've ever read, and I read a book a day. I haven't laughed so hard in a long time. My husband thought I was losing my mind! The story was fabulous just like the humor. A must read!!!
People were staring at me on the train while I was reading this novel. Not because of the really hot cover model, but because of the strange snorting sounds I was making while trying to stifle hysterical laughter. This book is really, truly howlingly funny, and Sandra Hill's comedy is based on the brilliant development of her characters. For romance readers, this is a MUST BUY.
Well i have enjoyed the Viking series of books by Sandra Hill so i was excited to find a book of hers that I hadn't read. This one is about an American hero after the Civil War. It was very funny in spots but I didn't really like the heroine in the story. She was too much. The Hero was wonderful and I loved the secondary characters and since I found out this is actually a sequel to "Frankly My Dear" I'll going to go back and read it.

This is a time travel book. The heroine, Harriet ids a modern psychologist who really seems to hate men, in my personal opinion. She has written a book on woman's fantasies and and has determined that it is wrong to have a fantasie about "forceful seduction". This is not rape but where the man seduces the woman into sex. She has preached against this but can't admit, even to herself, that she has these fantasies. She uses a famous book by Rosemary Rogers called " Sweet Savage Love" as a bad example.
Well when her train is derailed in modern times she awakens back in time in the year 1870. Where she meets the subject of her dreams Etienne. Etienne is undercover working for President Grant and at first thinks she is a spy so he must keep her close, very close.

The story has a lot of interesting turns and plots but when it all came to head it was a bit boring. I enjoyed the banter between the two main characters and I loved Etienne's two best friends, Cain and Abel. The book was enjoyable and I'm looking forward to reading the book leading up to it.
I had read Rosemary Rogers stories with Jenny and Steve, so I really had an understanding of the characters referred to in this Sandra Hill book. I found the book to be one of the funniest, (laugh out funny) humorous books I have ever had the pleasure to read. I have to say this is one of my all time favorite books! If you haven't read it, pick up a copy because you won't regret it.
From the best-selling author ofDesperadocomes the tale of psychologist Harriet Ginoza, who is cast back in time to the Old South, encountering the object of her fantasies and the realization that she will have to seduce him. Original."
When Rosemary Rogers penned her classicSweet Savage Lovein the '70s it wasn't uncommon for the hero to rape the heroine in a romance. Sandra Hill knew that the rape scene had to go if she reworked Steve and Ginny's classic romance for Leisure's Legendary Lover's line. What to do? She made this "Ginny," also known as Dr. Harriet Ginoza, a psychiatrist who specializes in women's fantasies, particularly "forceful seduction." In the 1990s Dr. Ginoza makes sense, but when she finds she has gone back in time to the 1870s and runs into Etienne, a chauvinistic, gun-slinging secret agent, she has a hard time making him see reason. You will laugh your way through this incredibly humorous and sexy tribute to Rosemary Roger's classic.

(Unique concept)

(A wonderful Post-Apocalyptic love story)

(A Hot Read for those Frozen Nights)

(Kenin has obliterated the gap between the science fiction and the romance genre for all time!)

(This book has everything you want!!!!)

I thought the concept for this book was very unique. I enjoyed the strong female lead. Very interested in ready the second in the series.
This story was engaging, I just couldn't bring myself to put it down!
The characters were nothing like I'd ever read before and I found their social awkwardness relatable.
The world that Eve Kenin created is immediately believable and I was sucked in by page one. You actually feel the sexual tension build and the sex scenes that the tension leads to are steamy as anything I've ever encountered!
I recommend this book to anyone and everyone, you just have to get your own copy, because I'm not going to risk loosing mine!
Raina Bowen knows she can handle herself just fine against anything the harsh Northern Waste throws at her. Until it throws her an enigmatic stranger called Wizard. First, she has to haul him out of a brawl he can't hope to win. And next, her libido is shooting into overdrive at the feel of his hard body pressed against hers on the back of her snowscooter. But there's something not quite right about this guy. Before she can strip bare Wizard's secrets, they're lured into a race for their lives, battling rival truckers, ice pirates...and a merciless maniac with a very personal vendetta.

This is a fast paced book set in future Earth. An Earth that has been decimated by plague and war to become a harsh uncivilized world of the strongest survives. Raina is a strong female character but who is flawed and has demons to battle. While Wizard is a genetic created being who was raised by a computer, and has no understanding of human emotions. Raina must set aside her mistrust of others to help wizard to get the man who had hurt her in the past and is searching for her now. Wizard must come to terms about the feelings he has for Raina and understand them before its too late.

This book had me hooked from start to finish. I couldn't wait to see what Wizard would do next to set Raina off, and how she was going to cope with him. The villain is an evil, malicious individual who preys on the young and delights in the fear of others. I was happy to see him what he deserved in the end.

Driven will appeal to all readers because it has everyghing. Action, adventure, a strong female lead, and a quiet reserved male. Their are ice pirates and a nasty villain to defeat and a world to save. With enough tension and romance between the two characters to give a die hard romance reader chills. This was a delight to read.
A common Enemy ....

Opposing Goals ....

For a sister lost - and a sister found ....

In a post-apocalyptic future, Raina Bowen is an independent trucker who delivers supplies in a frozen territory now known as the Northern Waste. Raina has been taught everything she knows about survival from her father. Unfortunately, her best had not been enough to save him from an attack by Siberian Ice Reavers. Before he died Sam Bowen had informed Raina that she had a younger sister, Beth. Taking on the reins of that responsibility, in the hope of a better life for her sister and the dream of finally having a family, Raina enters a driving contest with impossible odds. She must race up the ICW and be the first to cross the finish line at Gladow Station with her load of grain. The only problem is that the big, bad Janson Trucking Firm and their powerful, morally corrupt owner, Duncan Bane, dominate the ICW. As a child Raina had once been at Bane's mercy. She had bested him then, leaving him scarred and bent on revenge. She is determined to best him again

That's where Wizard comes in. Sam had arranged for the man to provide Raina with the Janson pass needed in order for her to drive on the ICW. Unbeknownst to Raina, Wizard has his own bone to pick with Duncan Bane. He and his genetic siblings had started life as genetically enhanced test tube babies. When the new world order had taken over Bane had left them all for dead. They owed their lives to Sam Bowen, but eventually they'd been at Bane's mercy once more. Wizard and his sister Yuriko, like Raina, had been strong and had escaped the horror. Their gentler sister, Tatiana, had not. Yuriko now commanded a rebel outpost in the Waste. Wizard, who Bane had trained to be his assassin, intended to be just that - his assassin. He would do anything toward that goal, even using their savior's own daughter as bait to draw Bane out. He been expecting to meet with Sam but Raina would definitely do.

Raina's hopes of keeping a low profile are shattered when Wizard arrives at the designated truck stop and immediately gets into a brawl with the Janson crew. They haven't even been formally introduced and she's already bailing his butt out of trouble. Raina finds her new partner to be a complete enigma. Different from any man she's ever known, he can see in the dark and crack her toughest security measures without batting an eyelash. He's got an answer for everything down the decimal point, and appears completely devoid of emotion - except when it comes to a certain tough and gorgeous lady trucker of course. And just what is it about him that makes her want to keep him around even after she discovers that the coveted pass he's brought her is stolen and therefore useless?

Raina is one of the most exceptional heroines I've ever encountered in a romance novel, not skipping a beat even when she discovers the load she's carrying is not grain but guns. Though her fondest dream has been dashed, she takes this new detour in stride and throws herself into the Wizard's cause with courage and gusto, knowing that it is just a matter of time before she'd be facing the final showdown with her greatest nemesis.

Eve Kenin, who also writes Dark Historical Gothic Romances under the name Eve Silver, is an author to watch. I've read an enjoyed the first two titles in Dorchester's new Shomi line but this book is sensational! With DRIVEN, Kenin has obliterated the gap between the science fiction and the romance genre for all time. This book is HOT! I simply couldn't put it down. Look for her next title HIDDEN, coming from Shomi in July. So far I've been unable to discover any advance hype on the storyline, but there were a number of hints throughout DRIVEN that indicate that Wizard's sister Tatiana may have survived after all. Let's keep our fingers crossed. For excellent world building, gripping action and one of the best alpha pairings this reviewer has encountered in any novel, I highly recommend DRIVEN. -- Reviewed for PNR Reviews
I loved this book!! Go out and buy it!! I love Eve Silver(Kenin)!!! She's is my kind of writter man!! Woohoo!! It has action, sex, drama and even some humor.

Wow she just made this world come to life. I loved, loved Raina and Wizard was perfect, just perfect for this story.

All of the characters just fit together. I hope and pray that there is a sequel. I loved it!! I'm friggin hooked!!!

(Amazing)

(LOVED IT)

(A Marvelous "Must Read")

(enchanting storyteller - pure escaspism)

(My favourite Kearsley book)

In Mariana, Julia Beckett moves from London to Greywethers, a house in the country that has seemingly called out to her for years. She begins having "flashbacks" of sorts, to when she was Mariana Farr, a young woman living during the Restoration. Not only does Julia live the life of her predecessor, she actually is Mariana, feeling her feelings and thinking her thoughts.

This is the second Susanna Kearsley novel I've read (after Sophia's Secret, which is fantastic, too), and let me just say that she's won herself another fan. The world of the late 17th century is portrayed in painstaking detail, and Kearsley's modern-day world is just as meticulously described. I've said this about other split-time novels, but it so often happens that books like this one sacrifice the modern-day narrative for that which takes place in the past; not so with this book. Mariana sweeps you off your feet from the very first page.

What I also like about Susanna Kearsley's books is that her endings are never strictly "happy," per se (sort of a weird way of thinking, I know), but there's always the potential for happiness. This sort of ambiguity works, in a strange way; you never know what, exactly, to expect. I can't wait to read more of Kearsley's novels; I've recently tracked down used copies of Named of the Dragon, The Shadowy Horses, and Seasons of Storms. It's too bad that Kearsley's novels aren't more widely available; she's a great writer who knows how to tell a good story.

Read this book. It was a terrific story with great descriptions. One of the best I have ever read of this type. Not sappy chick lit but a great love story. Well written. I was very sorry when the story ended and hope that I can find something this great to read soon.
Sadly, I just finished this book. Why am I sad? Because I'm already missing the characters...who have become like friends!

I was afraid, at first, that some of the British phrasing would be difficult...but, no problems arose. Maybe I've watched enough episodes of "Cash in the Attic" to understand the British vernacular!

The supernatural twist of this story just works so well...the juxtaposition of the Twentieth and Seventeenth Century. I was fascinated from the very beginning and particularly enjoyed the relationships of the modern day characters...but, it was the story of Richard and Mariana that truly captured me.

I've perused readers' reviews of Kearsley's other books. I initially thought "The Splendour Falls" would be my next...but, have since decided on "Named of the Dragon".

I can't wait for it to show up in my mailbox!
Susanna Kearsley has me hooked on her books - she offers a delicious environment, intriguing story, and enveloping characters that work together to get your mind off the mundane and rest in pleasure in that area embalmed in suspended disbelief. There is nothing more pleasurable than a heart-warming suspense with romantic/idealic undertones with a liberal dose of well-versed history and knowledge base. No sappy - cheesy - roll-your-eyes sentences in Kearsly books - just a satisfied grin at the end of the book.
This is the first of Kearsley's books, and by far is my favourite. I rarely read books more than once, and I have re-read this one numerous times. Definitely worth reading.

(Good plot.....but.)

(A fun fluff read)

(CANT PUT DOWN)

(An ok read)

(Time Travel falls short on many levels)

The plot for this story line was cute once you figure it out in the end but it's a long boring read to get there. This story needed much work and editing long before being published. How did it happen? If the author actually got money for this, I'm going to try my hand at it, it couldn't be worse!
I read this book in a day, was just plain fun! great summer relaxing reading.
This is truly one of if not the best book I have read as far as romance novels go. I am a tough critic when it comes to romance novels and this was packed full of all the necessities. Romance, mystery, thriller, murder, you name you got it! I am desperate to find more books from this author!

Congrads on keeping me up all night!
This book was an okay read. It's one that I'd have rather checked out from the library than purchased. The book has a lot of typos in it (ie. misspelled words, words left out of a sentence, ect.)

I was a bit disappointed at first. Reading the description the book sounded like it was going to be very promising. I couldn't wait to receive the book and get started reading!

The book is a very easy read. I kept hoping for it to pick up so I actually read the entire book in a day. It had some great moments, but the book didn't draw you into the story. I didn't feel the characters pain or happiness. I felt like I was reading a story. At first the descriptions start out well. You can visualize what they're wearing and how things looked. But by the 4th chapter, the descriptions of people, places and everything stops. I also felt like I was left hanging. There was a hint in the book that the aunt "knew" the truth, but then it never said anything more about it. It also mentions how she needs to get 2 people (I won't go into much detail so not to give the story away) to fall in love, but it never tells you if they did or not.

I'd suggest checking this book out from the library or going to a B&N store and grabbing a cappuccino and reading it there at the store instead of purchasing this book. It is an ok read, I just wouldn't suggest buying it.
Alexandra "Alex" Tibideaux receives a message that her grandmother: "I need you." Unable to get a hold of Grams, Alex rushes from California to New Orleans. Grams is fine; she only wants to attend the re-opening of the Dalton Plantation with her granddaughter. Alex agrees-since Grams is her only living relative and is 93 years old. Later that evening, Grams shows Alex a picture of Trey Dalton and how he fell in love with a woman in their family; one who had the same name as Alex... and had disappeared and was never found.

While at the plantation, Alex sees a painting of herself wearing period clothing. Curiosity causes her to touch the portrait... which transports her back to 1878. She awakens in the same house... but Trey Dalton, his aunt, and their servants are very much alive.

Trey Dalton doesn't have time for a woman who mysteriously shows up at his plantation; talking nonsense about how she's from the future. And he doesn't need his Aunt Rose to interfere by going around telling everyone that Trey and Alex are getting married. Both Trey and Alex have to go along with the idea to keep people from gossiping.

But there's someone who wants to ruin Trey and will stop at nothing to do so. Trey believes he knows who is responsible... or does he? Only after a series of potentially disastrous events does he learn the truth.

Stephanie's Review:

Other reviews talk about how Bradley weaved "an engrossing tale of time travel, romance, and suspense."

The time travel was typical: Woman from the present goes back in time where she has to adjust to her new life while wondering if she'll ever return to the present.

The romance was unbelievable - and not in a good way: Trey and Alex spent more time bickering and arguing than anything else. I'm still wondering how the two fell in love. It just "happened."

The suspense was predictable: It's easy to tell who did what when.

Bradley also has a habit of not going deep enough into the story. There are lots of instances where things are just glossed over. Two examples: (1) Alex arrived in 1878, and basically just accepted everything that happened to her - except when she wanted to return to Trey. (2) Alex kept a journal of her time spent in 1878. When she returns to 1997, Grams gives her the journal. She starts reading... only to find a new entry on the last page from Trey. This could've been a very emotional moment, but Trey's entry was cut short.

There's also a lot of typos in this book. I understand that no book is edited perfectly, but the typos here are beyond the norm. After awhile, they started sticking out like a sore thumb. Usually, with traditional publishers, the fingers can be pointed to the copyeditors. But it's questionable with e-publishers. I know of some e-publishers who do more editing beyond what an author does. And then there's some e-publishers who expect their authors to do all of the editing. I'm not sure where Hard Shell lies as this is my first Hard Shell read.
(Time-Travel Romance) Trey Dalton is having a very bad day. Someone is trying to destroy his plantation, his mettlesome aunt has come to visit, and some strange woman has appeared on his doorstep spouting some nonsense about coming from the future.

(I soooo miss the Draycott Abbey Series!!)

(Very good action/adventure type romance)

(Love this Recipe that Works For Skye)

(My favorite by Skye, so far)

(this is a fantastically written book about love and hope)

This is the real Christina Skye I know and I have learnt to love...(I mean her books of course). Not the dreadful Code Name series with the stupid cyborg agents and more action then romance. The Draycott Abbey series is the best series by Christina Skye and I really hope she will continue it and Bride of The Mist is, in my opinon, the best in the whole series..

We have Kara who is a pyschic and Lord Duncan MacKinnon who happens to live in Scottish castle. After a series of adventures Kara ends up with Duncan in his castle and the real adventure starts there. Kara starts to experience a psychic connection with a ghost... she begins to dream strange dreams of a far away past. These dreams always leave her very shaken. Their is also mystery and danger in this book so you will never find a dull moment. I love romances set in Scotland and pyschic heroines..it adds a kind of magic to the whole book.

As I said, the other books in the series are also great. Christina Skye at her best. My personal appeal...PLEASE WRITE MORE OF THIS SERIES...and dump the Code Name one...
Hey now... this one was different. I was actually able to stay focused.... which has been impossible for me lately. Basically, this was a good vs. evil story&a good (sometimes very HOT) romance to go with it. It involved a psychic that could touch things&see visions (not giving anything away)&had a continually unfolding side story that took place 600 yrs ago. This book kept moving (well, mostly... it did drag just a tad a couple of times - but that didn't last long)&the characters were very likable; even though there was some problems to work through, they weren't absolute jerks about it. It had some good suspense in it that, although not chilling, at least made me hold my breath a couple of times. I also enjoyed the descriptions of Scotland... sometimes authors either can't make me get a good picture in my mind, or they go completely overboard&bore me to tears.... not so with this one. It even had it's own Scottish guardian ghost (complete with cat!)&a couple of fun Scottish legends. I'd recommend it to most all romance readers. I've been reading up&there are a series of these called the Draycott Abbey series. I'll definitely being trying out another one!
This is the 2nd Christina Skye novel of the Draycott Abbey series that I have read (Hour of the Rose - my first) and I really love this gal's writing and stories. The first had an english Lord coupled with an American gifted with second sight. This book - Bride of the Mist - gives you a Scottish Lord - cousin to the Earl of Draycott Abbey and tossed together with another American who has an even stronger psychic connection to days past at Draycott Abbey and Dunraven Castle.

One thing, the story does not lack though is an unstopable pace that has you racing to finish the story holding your breath with each turn of the page! An exciting plot, with breathtaking descriptions of the castles, the abbey and the beautiful landscapes of England and Scotland. And one shouldn't forget the extremely sensual romantic and descriptive love play! Oh yes, this one is hot, hot, hot! - Could this be why I stay up half the night getting to all these juicy good parts?

Wonderful and exciting writing. I love the guardian ghost, Adrian and his cat Gideon - these stories make me yearn for the British Isles to see if I can find these sexy male heroes! - Dont' breathe a word to my husband though!

Definitely a keeper book and a MUST BUY for this author!
Bride of the Mist is a quick-reading, suspense-filled, erotic love story set amongst the majesty of the English and Scottish countryside. Overflowing with lush descriptions, second-sight, a ghost and a cat, this is a page-turning, heart-stomping tale of a love between man and woman that endured throughout time.

Although primarily a contemporary romance, the story is mirrored by a tale of long ago between a beautiful mute girl, a Crusade-worn knight, and his evil brother. Their tale and destiny are to be re-lived by their contemporary counterparts, the beautiful American Kara Fitzgerald and the rugged Scots laird, Duncan MacKinnon.

They are thrown together because of her gift of second sight - through touch she can see and feel events and emotions. Skeptical at first, Duncan accepts her gift and they begin a dangerous adventure that could bind them together, in life or in death, if Duncan's evil (and supposedly dead) brother has his way.

The magical mysticism of Scotland adds unique flavor to this tale. Because of his heritage, Duncan also knows a thing or two about "the sight". He and Kara believe they are fighting against a destiny doomed to destroy him, and, as heroes are wont to do, he would push her away to protect her. Kara, on the other hand, believes that her gift is what has cost her love in the past, for she believes no man would want to share himself as totally and completely as would occur with her.

Their healing of each other, as is usual in romantic fiction, is quite unique due to the nature of Kara's gifts. It is Duncan's task to restore her confidence as a woman. Because of their unique connection with each other, Kara can see in her mind and feel in her being Duncan's desire for her and the things he would do with her - it sure is getting hot in here, isn't it?. Their intimacy is wet, hot, and very sexy.

As they work together, first to protect their inner selves from each other, than to save each other, it is easy to get caught up in their adventure. In general I have found that romances 400 pages in length are padded by 40 to 60 pages of unneeded verbiage. This book is not padded. Each page allows Kara and Duncan's relationship to build as both the past and future unfold. Each page is filled with the the flavors of danger, suspense, and the connectedness of these two people.

Wow - what a good book!

(When We Do Meet Again)

(A Great Time Travel!!!!)

I bought this book becuase I love time travel stories and roamnces, and wasn't disappointed. A thoroughly enjoyable read with believable characters. What particularly appealed to me was that the entire story was written from the main male character's point of view, which is rare for a romance novel. A truly emotive and touching story, and the authour appears to have thoroughly researched the time period. The concept of Time Travellers INC as a company also appealed to me.

On the downside - the book could have done with better editing and tightening of the plot. Quite a number of errors. typos and otherwise, along with a bit of repetition that a good editor would have noticed, which is why I didn't rate it 5 stars. As a writer myself I notice these things. This hasn't detracted me from wanting to read the others in the series.
I love ALL of her books! Such a great fantasy, and very entertaining. Some better than others (as with most authors), but I was so excited to finally see Hollie Van Horne getting recognition in a place as large as Amazon.com. I believe I've read every one she's written. Kudos to a very entertaining woman.
Book came in great packaging,
was fast delivery.
I am very pleased, thank you.
AAAAAAA++++++++
The premise and logistics of time travel made sense, but it was a little shallow, not much depth to me. The proofreader was a little careless, as I found a lot of typographical errors in the book. I did enjoy the descriptions of the house.
This was a first time read for me and I found Ms. Van Horne a very entertaining author. This book had a great romance, wonderful location, and a great mystery.

A doctor falls in love with his resident ghost and finds that he wants to help her onto the next place. He is reluctant to tell anyone about his feelings and thinks that he may just be going insane when he finds an ad for Time Travelers. He contacts Sam and the next thing he knows he is planning a trip to visit his love in person. He plans on saving her from being killed perhaps by her husband. Problem is he is a dead ringer for the bad guy but he will do what he has to give peace to Isabelle.

This was a very touching story and I found myself laughing and crying. If you enjoy reading a story that touches on all of your emotions as being creative this is the story for you.
When We Do Meet Again ~ Brilliant Chicago surgeon, Dr. Stephen Templeton, needed a sabbatical to combat his overwhelming depression. A drive down River Road in Vacherie, Louisiana -- outside New Orleans -- promised to be just what the doctor ordered to relieve his stress, when a ruined antebellum mansion beckoned for him to purchase and restore it. That's when he met her. The ghost of its former mistress, Isabella Durel, who was murdered December 25, 1838 -- in this, her plantation home. It wasn't long before he found her portrait and fell in love with her yet only days before he found her husband's painting and realized that he was the reincarnation of Emile Durel! Can Stephen give her the second chance at life and love for which she's yearned for over a hundred years? Can he find sanity in her loving embrace? Can he find a murderer and reverse her fate before it's too late? Only if Time Travelers Incorporated can work their magic and send him through the time tunnel so that he may return to his wife and his life as Emile Durel circa 1838.

(Escape to ree gen cee ing land)

(Most lovable heroes)

(Oohhh...He's A Magic Man!)

(Which Cat-man do you prefer?)

(Playfully Amusing!)

I enjoyed the continuing adventures of the Krue sons. I didn't find Rejar's mate Lilac as likeable as I hoped but I still very much enjoyed the story and am now reading Mine to Take the third in the series. A nice escape from reality.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE a hero that can be secure enough in himself to love a heroine. Joy's main characters a total *no pun intended JOY. There's something so sweet about sweet tempered Rejar. I disliked the heroine a little, she seemed to be a little to spiteful. I loved the cat idea, it was really cute.
Really enjoyable read. There were times however, when I wanted to slap the crap out of Lilac the leading lady. Her attitude got really annoying at times, but she slowly got better. Rejar however WAS "the cat's meow." Sexy, hot, funny I wouldn't mind curling up with a man like him. Mmmeeeeeooooowwwww baby!

Buy the book, it's worth the full price. For more good reads and not so good reads...check out my other reviews!
Gain Ren of Mine to Take, Rejar, or Ravyn of Dark Side of the Moon (by Sherrilyn Kenyon)? I'm captivated by all three. I love their dual natures! But Rejar is hot, hot, hot!! This story is the best of the three, by far.

Rejar was certainly not the story I expected. Imagine being stalked by a space alien, and finally forced to marry the alien, only to discover him to be a very kinky man - at a time and an age (Regency England) where people just didn't DO those things sexually (and talk about it in public)! You might think you'd been bewitched, or that you were loosing your sanity to carnal feelings and desires that were not 'natural' and hating yourself (and your lover) for it. Get's a little complicated, doesn't it?

There were times when the book made me very uncomfortable. Poor Lilac. There was a vague 'Lolita' feel to the book, with a sexually self-confident male and awakening teenager. If Rejar had been less charming, Lilac's lack of choice in the matter would have converted the story from a romance to a horror story. At times I objected to the situation. Rejar makes a few cultural faux pas; and they don't really talk while he's courting her. Lilac is a blue-stoking: no friends, little liking for the social scene of the London ton, and no sexual experience whatsoever. Rejar courts her in her dreams, and knows all her business, as her 'cat.' Do you expect me to believe that these lovers can establish mutual trust when they are not having anything but intercourse of a sexual nature with each other? Rightfully, Lilac resistes this Streetcar called Rejar based upon what she knew of Rejar's public personality. But Lilac is trapped, like cornered prey with no way out (similar to Lolita). She gets swept along by this sensual space alien, into a situation she has no way to understand, not having any real friends to talk it over with. Independent, embroidery-hating, Lilac rightfully, heart-wrenchingly has some adjustments to make in her unwanted marriage state to an alien who curtails her freedom. But the author deftly handles my objections. Lilac is a person with a great deal of innate sensuality (the so-called 'passionate' nature) - sensed by an alien keyed to that sort of thing. The space alien is very bright, able to learn English, learn enough of the social customs to manipulate a sweet girl into marriage (even carrying her kicking and screaming down the stairs on her wedding day), THEN he has to struggle with the fact that at bottom she's immature, from a period in time not able to accept 'differences,' much less time travel and space travel. It's a cagey and interesting situation for a guy that you are rooting for, and heroine you feel does everything right for who she is - including standing up for herself and not falling at his feet.

His brother comes along to help him, and offer timely advice. Other secondary characters are priceless - Jackie, and Aunt Agatha.

This is a GREAT science fiction story, cloaked as romance. One with contemporary sensibilities. Edgy. I've never seen a romance deal with the protagonist going from being a maiden to being a wife and struggling with coping as a couple. My only complaint (one that is becoming generic with this author) is that she doesn't have good, strong, WOMEN leads. When her girlish, or young women characters get married they seem to be relegated solely to motherhood and/or spousal duties - in other words, they fade away next to their male counterparts. Aunt Agatha, bless her, is the only WOMAN I've encountered in these books that has the interpersonal skills, intellect, and adventuresome spirit that would make a good model for where the female leads go after the romance has resulted in marriage. I'm going to make up an 'Aunt Agatha' button and put it on the shelf where this book goes - as a keeper! ;-)
When a story is both fun and sensual, it definitely steps into winning territory and Dara Joy's REJAR is clearly in that area. From beginning to end, Joy's story is well written, sleek, and funny. Yet, Dara Joy also includes a serious note when she describes the appalling social conditions so prevalent during the early part of nineteenth century England.

His name was Rejar ta'al Krue from the planet Aviara. He was descended from a telepathic arcane race known as the Familiar. Familiars were predatorily sensual. Ruthlessly, they lived to please . . . erotically. Surrounded in mystery, the race also had another remarkable trait: they were shape shifters. Effortlessly, Rejar ta'al Krue could change from man to cat!

When his brother was in trouble, Rejar had sacrificed himself. He had taken an ancient icon into the matrix and space and dimension had bent. Now, he found himself in this strange place known as "Ree Gen Cee Ing Land" and he must bide his time until the great mystic, Yaniff, found him. But how could Rejar survive in such a world? Regency England was a turbulent place. The indifference and suffering staggered him. Effectively, Lilac Devere was his only comfort in this uncomfortable land. He felt drawn to her in a way he had never experienced before. Familiars cherished and protected what was theirs and Lilac Devere was positively his! Her feminine energy drew him, intrigued him. At night when he took on his human form, his discoveries amazed him. Remarkably, Lilac had never been with a man before and excitedly Rejar realized that significance!

Lilac Devere absolutely loved her newfound cat. "Kit" was an adorable creature. He was delightfully large, playful, and even snuggled. Every morning she found him nestled under her blankets, and the little rascal could do the cutest things with his tongue!

How could that be? Lilac's new husband and the cat were one and the same and suddenly she realized she was losing him. What did he expect from her? She had given him all that she had. He had introduced her to her sensual side and she had given in to all his erotic demands. Tormenting, she thought, "Never play with something unless you know the danger of its bite."

Reviewer's Comments:
Author Dara Joy must own a cat, for she has the feline behavior down to a fine art and this prowess gives her story fresh breath. The cat's antics are so darn humorous that I embarrassingly found myself giggling aloud, in the dentist's office while reading REJAR! Of course, I have always been a sucker for the ultimate alpha male character and midway through Dara Joy introduces Rejar's half-brother, Traed Ta'al Yaniff. Now he really did catch my fancy! Does this guy have his own story? Definitely, my next assignment! Nice going Dara Joy you did a super job! Your love scenes are hot, effective and necessary. Theory foundation: Rejar ta'al Krue is a Familiar and Familiars live for the sensuous! Dara Joy's story may not be perfect, but it comes mighty close.
Grade: A-

MaryGrace Meloche.
Lord Byron, the sexiest and most eligible bachelor of 1811 London, entrances every fashionable matron he encounters but sets his sights on the alluring Lilac, who is brought into Byron's life when she adopts a stray cat.
Women love their cats! In Dara Joy's much awaited new book, Lilac Devere has the best of both worlds. She meets Rejar, an immortal "shape-changer" who can take two forms--man or cat. Incredibly sexual and sensitive to women, these shape-changers travel through time, appearing primarily to make love to women. When Rejar finds himself in Regency England in cat form, he makes the most of both forms in Lilac's bedroom and in the salons as one of Lord Byron's friends. Lucky Lilac never has to choose between man and beast!
