(Very Entertaining Story)

Whispers Through Time proved to be well worth the time to read. You may wish to also order Sherry Lewis' book titled, An Echo in Time, since it is the sequel to this book.

We begin our tale with a fellow named Kurt Richards, modern man, who just ended another relationship. Or rather, SHE ended the relationship. He has had a string of bad luck in love, mainly because he is devoted to protecting the historical ruins of Anasazi at Black Mesa, Montana. While on a stake-out to catch looters, he finds himself swept off a cliff into another time.

He wakes up in the year 1890 and finds himself without a place to stay and nothing to eat until a widow takes him in as her hired ranch hand. He discovers he is very much attracted to the lovely, dark Olivia. But then, so is the neighbor, Sam Evans. And Sam is not too friendly with Kurt.

Olivia struggles to maintain the ranch and it's surrounding property left to her by her late husband, Harvey. Considered useless land for farming or grazing, she finds herself unable to pay the upcoming mortgage payment to the smirking bank manager, Sloan Durrant. And really strange yet, he wants to buy some of the so-called useless land up on Black Mesa! Something is up, and Kurt knows what it is. Durrant is after the legend of a treasure, but won't ever find it if Kurt and Sam have any say.

The characters are written with the characteristic warmth of Sherry Lewis, and the setting description is satisfying. This is a story that doesn't forget the plot for just romance. Enjoy!
Kurt Richards was trying to stop the looting of Indian ruins in modern-day Colorado. Then he slipped down a cliff face-and into the 19th century. Now he's trying to help a widow save her ranch. But can he save his own heart?

Praise for Sherry Lewis's A Time to Dream:

"Captivated me from the beginning."-Rendezvous

"Filled with passion...intriguing."-Harriet Klausner

(A Good Read)

Christopher Bartholomew takes us to an intriguing world that I found engrossing. The psychological orientation of the authors is evident in the internal action, while the adventures keep us involved. I look forward to the sequel. Highly recommended.
Nestled between each today passing into its tomorrow, a wee speck of time awaits. It is shorter than a minute, briefer than a second. Imagine the smallest amount of time, and then divide it by a million billions. This very small piece of time is known as the Midnight Slice. While few understand the phenomenon, the smartest of the smartest describe the Midnight Slice as the ever-smallest quantity of time with the ever-greatest potential. Within this micro-smidgeon itself, the most ominous perils lurk amongst the greatest opportunities. As Cristopher M. Bartholomew laments about his forgotten fourteenth birthday, the power of the Midnight Slice strikes with a vengeance. Cristopher awakens blinded and paralyzed in the Tower of the Lost, twenty thousand kilometers from his home, an island hidden in the Canadian Maritimes. Written by a Child Psychiatrist with a Registered Nurse, both with extensive expertise in child development, family systems, special education, and developmental disabilities, The Hebredene Journals ~ Book One: Tales from the Villa is the first book in a series of the time travel stories of Cristopher M. Bartholomew. During his quest to find his family, 14-year-old Cristopher discovers the world of Journeychron lore. The pursuit of his legacy as a Guardian of Time is met with wondrous discoveries, countless perils, and daring adventures. True to its genre of fantasy, the rousing narrative is told in an original and lyrical first person style, sure to be favored by the young, contemporary reader. The memorable characters found in The Hebredene Journals embrace hope and altruistic fervor in a world plagued with evil. The story highlights teen issues of self-esteem, family relationships, conflicting choices, and new friendships, while developing a strong sense of self in the face of loss, fear, and trauma. While some might believe the series to be another of the many magic-infested, dragon-slaying, ghost-filled books capitalizing on the brilliant, blockbuster series of J.K. Rawlings, the author takes a scientific rather than witchcraft path. But what makes Tales from the Villa truly a standout among the many other recent offerings for young readers is the lyrical, first-person style, which contains prose almost musical in its nature. Like any good story, there are villains and other nasties, all set in a fantasy world where Cristopher learns of his legacy as a Guardian of Time. But once again, the author approached the story differently, this time from the viewpoint of science. Rather than take the path of previous writers, the author wove his interpretation of string theory throughout the story, adding engaging elements, which are both creative and truly original. Cristopher¿s story is about youth, family, and how a young person attempts to overcome the pitfalls and challenges of growing up. Book One: Tales from the Villa contains three appendixes at the end of the story to assist the reader with special words and terminology. As the story begins on the island ofNorth Hebredes hidden in the Canadian Maritimes, Appendix One contains the American counterpart of Canadian words used throughout the text. Appendix Two is a Character List in the order of their introduction in the story. The third and last appendix provides an extensive Glossary of special words used in Book One.

(Mountie and Plague Hunter Find Love in the Tundra in this Futuristic Romance)

(One of the Best Sci-Fi Romances for 2004)

(Where's the fire?)

(Excellent, Electric Sci-Fi Romance - Canada in 2176!)

(Great plot, but execution is flat.)

DAY OF FIRE by Kathleen Nance is the second novel in a sci-fi romance series that takes place in the year 2176. Set in post-plague Canada, it's the story of a female Mountie on a mission to find out who murdered her partner and the hunky Chinook medical doctor who accompanies her. His quest is to find out if a new virus is on the loose in Canada.

First, I'd like to say upfront that the author has a vivid imagination and really brings alive a future in which Canada is an isolated country that was decimated by disease. The little details were interesting, from the Mountie code of living to the Chinook Indian rituals, and made the story (with its science-fiction setting) feel real and plausible.

That said, unfortunately, the author spent so much time discussing details and the murder plot that the book reads real S.L.O.W. And I mean slow. Wow, it took me 2 weeks to get through this sci-fi romance, and at one point I even considered setting it aside to read something else. It took too long for the hero and heroine to get passionate and it spent too much time on the murder plot rather than the relationship, so much that it lost my interest and I forced myself to finish.

Anyway, this book is a must-read if you are interested in reading the 2176 series. The entire series includes book #1 THE LEGEND OF BANZAI MAGUIRE by Susan Grant, #2 DAY OF FIRE by Kathleen Nance, #3 THE SHADOW RUNNERS by Liz Maverick, #4 THE POWER OF TWO by Patti O'Shea, and #5 THE SCARLET EMPRESS by Susan Grant.

Altogether, I'd say DAY OF FIRE is an alright read. The descriptions and setting are fantastic, but the romance is overwhelmed by the murder/politics and the pacing is super slow.

Kathleen Nance is a writer that just gets better and better with each novel. Each book amazes me how much control and depth she imbues her book with, making them stand out head and shoulders above the pack. She has been writing two series lines for Dorchester Publishing's Lovespell - the Djinns and the Immortals. Djinns are not your "I Dream of Jeannie" djinns, but strong, sensual characters that keep popping into the mortal world for one reason another. And Nance seems very adapt at creating the two worlds for readers. The Immortals as the children of the Ancient Greek Gods, who are doomed to unhappy lives unless they fall in love with another of these children. Both lines are brilliant conceived, and the world and laws within both take place are amazing. For a writer to be successful in creating alternative/fantasy worlds, they have to SEE it in their minds. If they cannot see, smell, taste and breathe these other worlds, their readers won't either. But Nance is one of the best at this sort of magic.
This new book "Day of Fire" is her first step away from her Djinns and Immortals. I know of few fans will be at first disappointed it's not an Immortal or Djinn - and we will all hope she will return to theses series one day soon. However, they will be floored by this new work. It's is her BEST work yet, and it leaves the reader breathless from first page to the last.

It is the second book in a series of at least five - the first being powerhouse Susan Grant with "The Legend of Bonzai Maguire". Nance's "Day of Fire" finds Day Daniel's as female Mountie in Canada in the year 2176. From first page to last, she keeps you riveted unable to put this book down. Day is a kick a*** ranger on the track of the militant group that killer her partner. Much to dismay she is now forced to take on a new partner, and he is not even a Mountie! Dr. Liam Firebird is a plague-hunter - a doc that tracked down terrorist release virus that saw the US erect a plasma barrier at the border to separate Canada from the US. Since her dead partner tested positive for a new virus they have never seen, it is urgent to track down the No-Borderer Terrorists and stop the release of this new plague.

Day is a by the rules Mountie. She eats sleeps and breathes RCMP; cut her and she bleed maple-sugar. So, being partner with the sexy Doctor who breaks all the rules goes against Day's who sense of what is right. In spite of this total commitment to duty, Day cannot resist falling for the no-rules plague-hunter.

Nance brings post-plague Canada into a vivid sharpness; you don't read this book, you join Day and Liam in a slam-bang wild adventure that leaves you breathless. It's been a joy to see Nance's talent growing with each and every book. But she really outdoes herself with "Day of Fire". Dare we hope for more Day Adventures?

If so, move over J.D. Robb, there is a new futuristic lady of the law!!
It's been too long since Canada's borders were sealed to stop the viral outbreaks that terrorists had unleashed upon the country from spreading around the globe. When Mountie Day Daniels' partner is brutally murdered during an investigation, the last thing she wants is a partner interfering with her. But Lian Firebird is not an ordinary partner. He is a plague hunter, and suddenly he is in charge of the case because of the threat of a new outbreak the murder uncovers. The chase is on to catch the virus before it destroys the chance to open Canada's borders once again. Day of Fire is a somber tale set in a bleak future and its lacks the pulpy energy of the premiere book in the 2176 series. There just wasn't enough fire to hold my interest for long periods of reading time.
I discovered author Kathleen Nance after I read Susan Grant's "The Legend of Banzai Maguire," the 1st book in a 5 book series by different authors, about life on earth in the year 2176 C.E. "Day of Fire" is book two in the series. I enjoyed Ms. Nance's writing and storytelling talent so much that I have bought several of her books since completing this novel. I have not been disappointed. "Day of Fire," stands on its own, however, and does need to be read as part of the series, although the reading experience is enriched by doing so.

The Dominion of Tri-Canada has had its borders sealed to the rest of the world for 160 years due to terrible plagues that spread in epidemic proportions throughout the country, leaving millions of people dead. Multiple bio-terror agents, a mixture of anthrax, smallpox and Ebola, had been released in Toronto, proliferating with amazing speed and horrific results. The world's response had been to quarantine the country, occasionally air dropping relief supplies. The United Colonies of Earth, (UCE), which at one time was called the Untied States of America, placed a plasma border between the two countries, thereby protecting its own citizens from their disease-ridden neighbors to the north. The UCE is no longer a democracy but a repressive imperial power. In the present year of 2176, Canada is virtually disease free and thriving as a nation.

Canadian Royal Mountie Inspector Day Daniel is a woman who epitomizes the highest competency and ethics of her profession, combined with unusual beauty and intelligence. In fact, she is similar in nature to legendary heroine Banzai Maguire. These women are both butt-kicking professionals with lioness-sized hearts! Day is presently on the hunt for the terrorists who killed her partner. She has been assigned a temporary partner to assist her on this particular mission, civilian plague hunter Dr. Lian Firebird. His part of the assignment is to find a militant group, the revolutionary No-Borders, and prevent them from releasing a new deadly virus on the people of Canada. This group is related to the Mountie's murder. These are revolutionary times. The Voice of Freedom, the Shadow Voice, is being broadcast all over the country, urging citizens of the world to join the revolution.

Day and Lian trek toward the Citadel, along with Day's pet wolf, to capture the virus before it is released, find and arrest the killer(s) and confront the Shadow Voice. This is a wonderful, action-packed, mystery, love story - and I couldn't put it down. Although the storyline hooks in to the Banzai Maguire novel, it is totally different, more complex and somewhat darker - although Susan Grant's book provides a terrific introduction to the series. The characters are different and the chemistry between them is electric. I am looking forward to the 3rd novel, "The Power of Two" by Patti O'Shea. I highly recommend this one - a wonderful read!
JANA

I really struggled about the rating for this book. I think the authors in this series deserve much praise for conceiving an incredible sci-fi plot. This author and Susan Grant did a great job explaining how the world has changed politically in 176 years. The notion that the U.S. has lost its way and forgotten its core founding principles, and that perhaps a fighter pilot from 176 years in the past is needed to remind the UCE what America stood for...it gives me shivers. Well done.

Unfortunately, so far the authors have not done as well explaining the rest of 2176. I got no sense of what this new world is like on a day-to-day level. What to do the people wear, eat, what music do they listen to, how have morals and the culture changed? Think how much people's morals, culture, music and dress changed between 1800 and 1900, and between 1900 and 2000. To me, that's what makes science fiction so fascinating: theorizing about what people will be like in the future, not just how world political dynamics change. Other than obligatory references to advanced technology, I would have thought this book took place in 2004, not 2176.

Also, I haven't found the romance aspects of these two books very satisfying, either. I've seen other reviews' references to chemistry between Lian and Day, but I found their relationship rather uninspiring. I mean, the author told us they felt passion, but seemed to describe their love scenes in a mechanical, unemotional way. The love scenes read like an instructions manual. Also, these two characters were so robot-like in their interactions: now we make love outside, now we make love inside, now we get back to work. No spontaneity at all. Boring!!!

Anyway, I'll keep reading the books in this series because I'm fascinated to see how everything turns out. I just hope the main characters get more exciting.

(Sunrise on the Mediterranean)

(A bit of a disappointment after the first three books.)

(My Least Favorite of the Series)

(Another series I wish wouldn't end!)

(Religious propaganda, masquerading as romance)

When I finished Reflections on the Nile I did not know there were more as I never searched for them. I LOVED THE FIRST ONE, so-so the 2nd one . THE THIRD ONE I JUST FINISHED ABOUT 1 /2 HR. WAS HORRIBLE! So I'm on line to see what they say about the 3rd one.Doesn't make me want to buy it.! Not enough between the 2 main characters and too much so called history.It's too much in the TWILIGHT ZONE. My favorite author is DIANA GABALDON. HER NOVELS MAKE SENSE AND ARE MORE DOWN TO EARTH AND BELIEVABLE.
I've been waiting two years for this book and I was thrilled to finally get it. I absolutely loved the first three in this series, however this book is leaving me very disappointed so far. I am on Chapter 6 and there are so many names I can't keep track of them all! Who are all these people?? What is their purpose? Where's Cheftu? What is the plot? If Cheftu is who I think he is why is he old enough be be Cloe's great great grandfather??

There is no flow, too many names and no plot as of yet. I really hope it gets better!

When I finally was able to find a copy of this final installment of the series, I was so excited to read it. I re-read the first three to refresh my memory with the comings and goings of our friends Chole and Cheftu. Imagine my disappointment to have to say how much I hated this book. There was almost no interaction between Chole and Cheftu, no clear explanation of how we got there or where we are going, and a really dumb story line. Ms. Frank also forgot to continue with some outstanding issues from the prior novels....like with the character Dion and a certain elixir? The only reason why I read the whole thing was to see how Ms. Frank was going to end her series. Since I'm not the kind of person who would post spoilers, let me just sum up by saying this: Big Disappointment.
I am an avid reader and love ancient history, so when I stumbled upon 'Nile' I was hooked. I must say, this series is the only oen that I can read over and over again and be pulled in just as deeply each time. Each book is rich and complex, making you feel like you're living the adventure right along with the characters. I have to agree that I wish Cloe and Cheftu were together more in this final book. There were issues brought up at the end of the third novel and the prologue that just weren't resolved. I feel like Ms. Frank didn't take as much time with the last two as she did with the first two.

Also, I must say that I LOVE the characters and the writing style that Ms. Frank uses in this series. The time travel, romance with such a rich historical and cultural setting is SO going to be missed! I feel like there are many other historical questions and times that Chloe and Cheftu could visit as they continue their travels....
This novel hides several agendas. For one thing, there is utterly no mention anywhere on the cover or interior that it's another installment of a published series. Since this is critical to the story, this omission, deliberate or accidental, is unforgivable.

Pushed as a 'romance,' there is little to none in this story in the popular definition of historical romance novels. There is little history, either. Instead, the author uses the second half of the novel to 'prove' the stories of the bible are literal and true, one after another, in quick succession. And the heroine is pivotal to all of them. If the aim was to promote spirituality and pseudo-history, the author should have been a bit less devious about luring unsuspecting readers with this tripe.

When the heroine is finally reunited with her husband, we discover they have no chemistry. If they do, it certainly isn't evident in the narrative. Don't bother with this one.
Separated from the man she loves, Chloe Kingsley finds herself alone is Mesopotamia, haunted by memories and driven to survive. Here, in a land where upheavals in the heavens and a flood on earth portend catastrophe for mankind, the rulers demand an appeasement - a beautiful young woman to placate the gods. Determined to seek out his beloved, Cheftu finds himself trapped in a ruthless plot to shed Chloe's blood. Together they must deceive the gods and escape their enemies to save her life. Each path they've taken - from modern America to ancient Egypt to the Jerusalem of the Hebrews - has prepared them for the dangerous journey that lies ahead. Destiny foretold it., civilisation requires it, but only human love can fulfil it.

(A BLAST TO THE PAST)

(In My Opinion)

(Definitely a blast.)

(Very well done!)

(Excellent!)

Time travel books are always fun to read. I liked this one because it was a man that did the time travel and of course saved the day.
This is a very interesting story. Most of the books that I have read on time travel have been from the female point of view.

Traveling back in time through the eyes of a male was very refreshing and the story seemed to have more substance and strength in the characters, as well as the story line.

I really recommend this book.
Chief Brian Skelley is supervising a bomb search and diffusion training exchange exercise in Scotland when a strange relic is discovered. One that explodes and sends Skelley man back in time to 1301, the time of William Wallace's rebellion. Caira Mackenzie is struggling to keep her secret (both her husband and her father are now dead and Castle Kilbeinn is without a laird) from the nearby British. Can the recently discovered Skelley help or hinder Caira? A Blast to the Past is brisk, breezy fun, with the adventure aspects getting just as much attention as the romantic story. All in all a short and satisfying read. Recommended.
Bombs are not normally creative, but a blast from one creates a new life and new hope in this tale. Brian Skelley rockets back from the present day to the days of Braveheart in Scotland. The ancient Scots are not sure what this sooty, burned man is. He might be an English Sassenach, and a danger. On the other hand, he could be one of the Wallace's men, and as such would help get rid of the English.

Brian at first, of course, can't believe he not only was not blown to bits, but is back in time. Once he adjusts, he secures a place for himself as a bard and sets out to make a bomb, hoping to reverse the process. The hitch in his plan is that Caira Mackenzie is the loveliest woman he's ever laid eyes on, and going back to the future would leave her behind.

*** Ms Farmer has well used familiar elements to create a romantic version of Connecticut Yankee, with a happier ending. Caira is a strong and admirable heroine, longing for both love and independence she can only have simultaneously with a man like Brian. Though the story is one we know well, it's also well done. ***
Amanda Killgore
Chief Petty Officer Brian Skelley, US navy bomb expert, had been on his last assignment in a remote training area of the Scottish Highlands. Brian had planted several different types of inert bombs for his men to locate and identify. However, they found one planted by someone else...and it was live!

Brian woke up to find himself in the year 1301. Kilbeinn Castle, which had been only ruins before, had somehow become tall, sturdy, and full of life. The Clan Mackenzie dwelled in the keep. Callum and Malcolm had chanced upon Brian and took him to the castle for treatment by Caira.

Caira Mackenzie was Laird of the clan. Her father and husband were dead. All the able-bodied men had left to join the notorious William Wallace when Caira's father had signed a treaty of neutrality with King Edward. Thus all the care and protection of the clan fell on her slim shoulders. Caira had no way of knowing if Brian was part of the foul Englishmen in the fort nearby or not. Wisely, she kept wary and sent him to the fort, by way of Callum and Malcolm, when he was well. Upon finding out Brian was NOT with those from the fort, and seeing him stand up to the cruel English, the two escorted Brian back to the keep. Caira allowed Brian time to "experiment". She never understood what the black powder was that Brian was experimenting with or what he meant to do with the foul smelling powder.

Brian wanted only to return to the year 2004. He was positive that if he made the powder just right the blast would send him back home. However, he could not ignore the plight of Caira and the clan. In the process of helping them, he and Caira began falling in love. Now he must decide whether to stay in 1301 with Caira or return to his own time.

***** Ah, this story is pure bliss! The characters are so easy to care for and the ending was an act of genius! Brava, Virginia Farmer! I enjoyed every minute of this time travel romance and highly recommend it to all. *****

Reviewed by Detra Fitch of Huntress Reviews.
The bomb went off, and US Navy explosives technician Brian Skelley figured he'd been blown to Kingdom Come. Instead, he'd been blown to fourteenth-century Scotland--and into the arms of the most beautiful woman ever. But was she worth getting involved, trying to stop the historic cruelty of the English? Could he give up his career and stay in another time? Was it wrong to introduce these people to explosives?

Caira Mackenzie hadn't time for marriage; she'd been too busy protecting herself and her people at Castle Kilbeinn. But when the dangerous stranger dropped into her life, he ignited something inside her. Brian was a type of warrior she'd never seen, and his strength was unquestioned--but could she trust him with the secrets of her clan and heart?

One thing was sure: The whole adventure would end with a bang.

(Huge disappointment)

(Good read)

This book was a HUGE disappointment. I really wanted to like it, but the plot, characters and dialogue were very simplistic. Everything was flat. Nothing was believable. Maybe if you are interested check it out in ebook but not print, way too pricey.
I rated this 4*-. A little better than average. I enjoyed the book, especially the points of history. The reference to the Philadelphia Experiment in 1943 led me to pursue information about this historical event (which I learned there is a great deal of controversy). Enjoyable read but cost more than your average paperback.
The story begins in the year 1889 where lovely Andrea Marsh lives on a plantation with her father in Savannah, Georgia. A stormy night sends Andrea on a whirlwind ride over 100 years into the future. Unfamiliar with her surroundings, Andrea finds herself in the arms of a man who bears a striking resemblance to the very man whom she has fled. Andrea's trip to the future sends her on a journey to a world full of fascination and wonder. What she finds there exceeds even her wildest dreams. Her new surroundings catapult her into a surprising friendship with a young, vibrant girl and into a relationship that blossoms into a timeless love.

(I loved it!!!)

(a good book with a suprise ending)

(Interesting, but....)

(An enjoyable book !)

(Don't Bother)

Although slow to start I loved this book. It is the first of Angie Ray's books I have read, but it won't be the last. The twist at the end of the story was brilliant. Usually I can tell what is going to happen, but I love it when I am surprised by some twist in the tale, like this one.

After finishing I checked on the other book I have by Angie "My lady in time". I was wondering after seeing the name of the hero of that book and where it is based if the two books are in some way connected. Can some one please tell me in what order I should have read them? I think My lady in time was released before A knight to cherish. I'm going to have to read My lady to find out if i'm right.

I tried to find out from Angie's website but the url in the book does not seem to be working. I would appreciate it if someone could send me her website address, I want to find out about all her other books. She is a marvelous writer and I for one will keep looking out for her books.
I enjoyed this book even though it was a bit slow at the start. It had humor and serious scenes that were evenly matched. This is the story of Francine a very geeky accountant in 1998 who is about to be married to a geeky accountant that she works for. She has a verry eccetric old neighbor who is always asking her to help her with some project or another. Well this latest project transports her back in time to England in the year 1214!. In order for her to return to her time she must "Civilize" the people here. But here is controlled by the Lord of the keep. Garrick. He's very brave but has a problem that keeps him from falling in love with any woman. Francine must get past his brutish ways to help these people and to get to the heart of Garrick's problem. Along the way she finds new friends and even starts to enjoy herself. She also finds herself more and more attracted to Garrick, who is also fighting his passion for her. Together they must compromise to bring Civilization and love to this brutal time. I enjoyed this book and was really suprised at the end. I hope to read other books by this author.
I had a hard time getting caught up in the story. The writing in of itself was fine, but the two main characters couldn't seem to capture my interest. They seemed two dementional to me. Now, I realize that not every writer is going to be for every person, so I give it three stars for writing, plot imagination and the twist at the end.
This is the first book by Angie Ray that I've read, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I hope to read many more ! While one must always check facts at the door when reading time travel romance, this one was both romantic and altruistic. You *wanted* to believe that this was possible !

I enjoyed the main characters of Francine and Garrick very much. Their verbal sparring, their profound attraction towards one another and their day to day life in medieval times was great fun to read. I especially enjoyed the completely surprising twist at the end of this book. I was most certainly not expecting it !

That said, I was thoroughly confused by the characters of Anne and Raphael. I didn't really understand who or what they were. I also didn't understand the role they played in the time travel experience. This is the only reason I didn't give A KNIGHT TO CHERISH 5 stars.
A clever idea, but I found the main character hard to relate to -- maybe it was all that hairspray the author kept referring to at the beginning. It occurred to me more than once that if any woman (or man for that matter) with this gal's attitude was transported back in time as she was, she would have been murdered before the end of the first chapter for being so obnoxious. If you found yourself with a copy, save it for bathroom reading.
