(Pleasant reading)

(A TIME TRAVEL TALE THAT TANTALIZES...)

(A totally different aspect of time-travel, a very good read)

(Debut Deluxe!)

(This is a great new concept in time travel!)

A bit of a take-off on the Outlander premise of a circle of "singing stones" that can transport through time, albeit these stones were removed from the circle and built into an archway of a building. Our hero and heroine meet at a clan gathering, get shoved through the archway and are transported back through time. I could never figure out what year it was, I recall Edward III being mentioned as England's king, and King David being the son of Robert the Bruce, so my research says sometime in the 14th century.

Anyway, our hero Alex is a double for the laird's son and heir Alesander who has been away for five years in London with the Scott king David (who was being held as a hostage by the English). So he is mistaken for the young heir, and Maggie is taken as his leman (mistress). Lots of ups and downs follow our H&H as they try to understand what's happened, and try to find their way home without being killed for pretending to be what they're not.

All in all very entertaining, but you do have to suspend some disbelief. I am sorry, but no man of the our times (most especially an ACCOUNTANT!!) could go back to the 14th century and pick up a sword and even have a clue to what he was doing, let alone convince his peers that he was adept at it. Also, the author wrote the story so that Alex picked up a Scottish brogue and Gaelic when they went back in time, but no one noticed Maggie's lack of English accent, let alone that she was from New Jersey. For those and a few other discrepancies I give it 4 stars instead of 5.

Note: if you are looking for something for a younger reader, this would not be a good choice. It's a bit of a bodice ripper, with more sexual content and descriptions than is appropriate for a young teen.
This is an interesting debut novel and a welcome addition to the time travel genre. It is a well told tale that evokes another time, long ago. It is also a tale of love.

Two people from New Jersey, each on the run from a broken romance, go to Scotland. Maggie Hobbs is there on vacation. Alex MacKendiman is accompanying his aunt to a gathering of his clan near Dunnedin, Scotland. Maggie and Alex meet at the clan gathering. They also meet a mysterious stranger, Mairi, who pushes them through a portal in time. Before they know it, they are in a medieval Scotland of six hundred years ago.

As luck would have it, Alex is the doppelganger of a long ago ancester of the same name. It appears that his ancestral namesake has been visiting in England for some time. When Alex and Maggie arrive in medieval Scotland, he is mistaken for his returning ancester, who also happens to be the laird's son. Maggie is taken to be his leman, as Alex has been betrothed to Anice, daughter of the head of the MacNab clan.

From here on in, their adventures fly fast and furious, as Alex and Maggie struggle to fit it and get the lay of the land in order to survive, until they can figure out a way to return to the present. There are many pitfalls to avoid and many customs to adopt in order to make their trek through time a safe one. In the process, they fall in love.

What happens to Alex and Maggie is entertaining and interesting, as they traverse a veritable minefield of differences between past and present. It is only through their growing love, however, that they will find the link necessary to effect a return to their time. Will they make it? Read this book and find out. You will not be disappointed.
Maggie and Alex are from the present day and are sent back in time together. It is not like any other time-travel books I have read. The secondary characters in the story are well developed and believable. I felt so sorry for the treatment Maggie recieved frrom Anice (Alex's betrothed). I wished she would give her a good slapping instead of taking all the snide remarks from Anice and her maids. She was just a spoilt little brat who thought she was better than everyone around her especially Maggie. Anice did change at the end of the book when she realised that the Alex she thought was betrothed to wasn't her Alex, but an imposter. I thought the real Alex who prefered to be called Sandy was a perfect match for Anice. He was just as bad as she had been to Maggie. This book is a great read and I can't wait to read the sequel to this book. I highly recommend it to any time-travel fans out there. Keep up the good work Terri.
This is my favorite type of time travel in which both main character travel through time in order to learn a lesson. This is an incredible debut for Ms. Brisbin. Her writing style is so vivid and emotional that I felt as if I'd been pushed through the arch right along with Maggie and Alex! I experienced their confusion, fear, and pain, their courage, joy, and love. I watched as Alex's true character emerged and his emotions blossomed, up close and personal. I laughed, cried, and hurt for the two of them. The touching epilogue was the perfect ending to a perfectly delightful read! I highly recommend this novel and wait with baited breath for the November sequel "A Matter of Time". --------- Leslie Tramposch - Pghromance
Having both "stars" of the novel travel through time together is refreshing! A great story that is very realistic as far as customs, language and behavioral qualities of the time traveled to; and the frustration, worries and determination of the couple trapped in another era. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK!!!
To Maggie Hobbs, Scotland is a dream vacation. For Alex MacKendimen, it's a way to free himself from work and explore his family history. Or so they think--until a mysterious stranger sends them back to medieval Scotland. Together, they will embark on a journey through time on a quest for love.

(This book was marvelous!)

Linda Opdyke took time travel to the next step and beyond! Amanda Jackson and her ancestor Angelique Beaumont change places. Now it's up to Amanda to figure out why! This book had it all - romance, mystery, intrigue. It was one of those 'not to be put down till it's finished' books! I highly recommend this book.
Amanda Jackson, 1995...Nick St. Laurent, 1867....Two people riding an unwitting collision course toward each other and destiny. A collision course set in irreversible motion with the theft of the solid gold, jewel-encrusted Southern Cross in 1842.

(Action, Adventure, and Romance Make this Book the Ultimate)

(No Other Word But Awesome!)

In the year 2320, Darius Calhoun is President of the United States. The men of his family have been appointed as presidents for generations; ever since Michael Calhoun solved the world's problems. Due to fatal diseases caused by pollution, in addition to, overpopulation and sexually transmitted diseases, the citizens of Earth now live in domed cities where sex has been outlawed and no one experiences emotion of any kind...except the rebels who live outside the domes who prefer to act more like humans than mind-numbed robots.

But the cost is high--they die at alarming rates from cancer and a new strain of AIDS that kills within months; not to mention that they have to grow their food in greenhouses because the soil is contaminated.

Darius is horrified when he is suddenly plucked out of his own time period and dropped into 14th century Scotland. Not only are the conditions unsanitary, he's expected to advise Robert the Bruce, the self-proclaimed King of Scotland, on war tactics, even though war hasn't existed in his time for over two hundred years.

Lara Macgregor, the oldest daughter of the lord of the castle, is a big help to Darius and they quickly become friends. But Lara wants more than friendship--she wants a mate. Darius knows that means having sex and he sure isn't about to do something that he's been brought up to believe is wrong. Funny thing is his body and mind have begun to change since Darius arrived and for the first time in his life he begins to feel and to want things he never did before.

When six other time travelers appear in 14th century Scotland they know it must be for a reason--especially when many of them knew each other at some period in time. As the war for independence in Scotland gains momentum, Darius and the other time travelers are thrust into the tumultous events that unfold and try to uncover why they are all there in the first place. When one of the lord's most trusted knights becomes an enemy, everyone at Castle Macgregor is put in grave danger...particularly Darius, who this knight sees as a rival for beautiful, spunky Lara's affections.

I can honestly say that I have never read a book like "The Ultimate Passage" ever before, but after reading it I am determined to read the rest of the books in this saga.

Since I hadn't read the first three books--"Charmed Passage", "Destined Passage" and "Doomed Passage"--I couldn't possibly have known all that transpired between the six time travelers that dropped into 14th century Scotland. Hackensmith provided just enough detail so that I could piece together their pasts, but left out plenty that would keep readers of the past three books from getting bored learning what they already knew.

Each character is so well-developed that I swear in a different place and time I could have known him and her. To watch Darius put in a position where he was forced to call into question all that he had been taught made him a sympathetic character, but the reader also encourages him to reach out for Lara's love and all it entails.

A perfect mix of historical events and people tossed together with several lively fictional characters makes "The Ultimate Passage" a must read. A complex and riveting plot is expertly delivered by Hackensmith. And Birch must be commended for her thorough research that places the reader into 14th century Scotland and the time of knights and chivalry.

My only disappointment is in knowing that this is the end of "The Passage Saga".

Action, adventure, and most of all romance make this a book you won't be able to put down. "The Ultimate Passage" by Jean Hackensmith and Kathe Birch is every romance lover's dream.

Usually the books in a saga get less and less interesting with each successive one. Not so with this saga! I don't know how the authors did it, but THE ULTIMATE PASSAGE, the FOURTH book in the "Passage" saga outdoes all of the others. In fact, each book in the saga gets progressively better. I definitely have a new "favorite" author (or maybe I should say "authors" since the trilogy is co-authored.) THE ULTIMATE PASSAGE though is, as the title suggests, the ULTIMATE in time travel romance. This book should be on the best seller lists and I really don't understand why it isn't. Imagine taking a guy from the 24th century -- where they live in domed cities and no longer have sex -- and sticking him back in the 1300's where he has to live in a drafty old castle! The authors interpretation of his horror when he's expected to have sex with his new bride is both realistic and humorous. A wonderful read. I cannot recommend it highly enough.
BOOK FOUR IN THE "PASSAGE" SAGA. Darius Calhoun is President of the U.S. in the year 2320. Citizens of earth live in domed cities. They no longer feel hatred, jealousy, envy or love. They don t have sex either, and haven t for nearly two hundred years. Why? Because it is messy, unsanitary and can transmit disease. Imagine Darius' horror then, when he suddenly finds himself displaced in time at the whim of the goddess Aveena. Darius' trek to 14th century Scotland is every man's nightmare. He is forced to live in a cold, drafty castle, wear a kilt, and use the ghastly privy when it comes time to take care of nature's call. Worst of all, he is expected to be an advisor to Robert the Bruce, the self-proclaimed King of Scotland. How is he to counsel the king on tactics of war when, where he comes from, that barbaric institution, too, has been extinct for over two hundred years? Only one thing in this godforsaken time period enables Darius to keep his sanity. Her name is Lara Macgregor. Her father is lord of the castle. Lara is beautiful, spunky, and looking for a mate. Of course, in this day and age, that means having sex and Darius wants no part of it. He feels nothing for Lara but friendship. At least he didn't at first. Now, though, strange things are happening to his mind and body and, with the war for independence in Scotland gaining momentum, so does Darius resolve that, at some point in time, government leaders in his own world did something terribly wrong.

(Not fantastic, but not bad either)

(Not What I expected)

(You will be transported to Sherwood Forest)

(i am telling you , this book is theeeeee BEST!!)

I'm a fast reader, normally I'll finish a romance novel in 8 hours from the first time I open the cover. Circles in Time took almost a month, 12 books in between and having nothing left to read to finish.

I'm not saying the book is bad, once I got to Chapter 4 it was quickly finished. The beginning is a bit slow, too much back story on Kendra, that could have been better incorporated, and often the secondary characters overshadowed the main characters.

This is not a book I would highly recommend, but it is worth the time to read it.
After reading the reviews for Circles in Time, I expected a very good romance. Not the case! It was more like The Adventures of Robin Hood instead of a romance. Except for the very beginning and the very end, the two main characters were not together much. Too much of lesser characters such as Robin Hood, and the irritatingly evil Sheriff of Nottingham. When I buy a romance, I want ROMANCE (not a book about some evil character trying to do everyone wrong). Enough already!

Also, it's a bit of a wonder how Navarre and Kendra ever fell in love. He is stuck on calling her a witch and throws her in a dungeon. She is wishing she could go home. Then all of a sudden they are supposed to love one another--not believable.

Luckily, the writing was good or else I would never have finished it.
Circles In Time was one of the most unique books I have ever read. It incorporates not only the present with the past, a very long time ago but intertwines Robin Hood and Maid Marian in Sherwood Forest.
I read it today non stop. That also meant staying awake well into the wee hours.
Tess captivates her reader with suspense, romance and situations that are not outlandish.
I respect the amount of time the author spends in researching to prepare to write these period books.
As usual, I don't like to share the story as the professional reviewers do that well.
As a layperson, I highly recommend Tess's writings and assure you that you won't find vulgarity in her writings. That is very important to some of us who don't care for the erotic romances. She has spice but not steamy.
This book lover wants Tess to write MORE time travel books very soon!
I have read Jewels in Time and absolutely LOVED that story.
Today, I will read To Touch The Stars after I go out to purchase her other writings.
Thanks, Tess for sharing your imagination with us.

The best thing about this book is that there is robinhood(who is drop dead goregeuse), mariam,and an an exellent bad guy.but i was too obssesed to notice because navarre (the hero of the book) already captured my heart,ofcourse i won't tell you how!.this book is also soooo funny everybody is like saying to kendra(the herion of the book!) "where are you from lady" because she's talks weird and all that,oh never mind,i shouldn't tell you anyway, so sorryyyyy!!!!.and if you read this book, whatever you do don't cry in the end, becuase then you never stop.trust me , this book is the best if you don't read it then you'll never know what "romance" is!
Investigative reporter Kendra O'Brien is swept back in time to thirteenth-century England and finds herself mistaken for a sorceress and believed to be the salvation of the enemy King Richard by a handsome knight in shining armor, Navarre de Galliard.

RIGHT MAN, WRONG TIME: A romantic getaway vacation--in the pre-Civil War Ozarks? What if, alone and lost in a Missouri Ozarks cave in the 21st Century, you stumble through an exit--and land in the lap of an aromatic man in 1859? Not your idea of the perfect vacation? Then pity Susa Hildebrand, dependent for survival on a cranky aerial photographer whose government mission outranks helping her find her way home, and whose assets include transportation (mules), food (beans), protection (a rifle), and a lusty aura. She also has to wear an ugly dress until someone even unluckier shows up in the dangerous, male-dominated border area. Bickford Pelletier can be mighty persuasive, though, and if she has to live in his time, Susa could do a lot worse. But what about the teenage twins she left behind? A STAR IN THE EARTH: It's 1907. Alerted by her time-traveled parents (MOON NIGHT) that Jake Livingston, 39, plans to wed Marguerite Desmond, willful Emilee Schuyier, 19, charges home to Boulder, Colorado to set him straight. The problem is, how do you seduce the man who's loved you like a big brother from the day you were born? Emilee tackles the problem obliquely. She and Jake are privy to knowledge of important coming events through the 'future history' remembered by her parents, now touring in Europe. Announcing her appointment as the new vice-president of Schuyier Enterprises, Emilee tries to convince Jake, the new president, to begin SE's development of a luxury resort the family will transform into a rehabilitation hospital after the coming World War. Jake is adamantly against her choice of site. Emilee, however, has learned to dowse, and has her own way of knowing things. A German friend of Marguerite wants to buy a defunct silver mine owned by Emilee. She refuses to sell it to the "Kaiser's man," claiming her dowsing rods indicate the mine still holds valuable ore. Jake's new secretary, young Anthony Parmenter, becomes Emilee's secret ally. He introduces her to his uncle, who offers to loan SE the money to purchase and renovate the resort site Emilee wants. Jake is a stubborn man, and enamored of his passionate fiancee. Emilee is certain she knows what's best for Jake, and her name isn't Marguerite. Meanwhile Anthony and Amos Carruthers, a young architect-about-town, vie for Emilee's affection. Jake has his hands full.

(great light book)

this is a book about time travel similar to time travellers wife but not as confusing ,as in where they are in time. it is a real page turner you will fly through it. It has been translated i am pretty sure but you would never know it. Perfect book for a weekend away of the holidays..you won't be able to put in down. it isn't prize winning novel but as light books go it is a winner enjoy

To all appearances, Eliott’s life has been a success. At 60, he is an esteemed surgeon with a daughter he adores. The only thing missing is Ilena—a beautiful, generous-hearted girl who died 30 years ago. But when he is given an extraordinary opportunity to revisit his past, Eliott suddenly finds himself in 1970s San Francisco searching for the passionate young doctor who has yet to lose the love of his life. What ensues is a story full of intelligence, hope, and humor about making the right choices and trying to keep what we most desire.

(A must read book for anyone looking for a romance novel)

(Tinker Belle)

(A great read)

(A book worth reading)

(The best of all her books.)

A remarkable, heart-throbbing story, with love, romance, time travel, and suspence. I have read it three times and I never get tired of it. It is a truely amazing story of a man who gets sent to the future and falls in love with a woman. He ends up getting sent back to the past and love does conquer all because she follows him shortly after. The suspence part is that she has to win back his love because he doesn't remember his trip to the future. This is a well written story with passion and romance...the kind of book you don't want to put down.
I loved this book. If you ever wanted to be transported back to the era before the civil war, when the South lived in splendor this book is it. Easily slipping the hero into today and sending the heroine back to yesteryear. I think this is Ms Lykins best book to date. Totally different than any other time trave I have ever read. Even if you have to hunt to find a copy of this book, I promise it is well worth it. "Echo Of Tomorrow" is on my permanent keeper shelf.
This is the first book I have read from Jenny Lykins, and I loved it. One of a few books where you see both the hero and heroine going into a different time period. First the hero comes to the future, then the heroine goes to the past to reclaim his love (who does not remember his time in the future). This sets the stage for some interesting and funny scenes. I would recommend this novel to anyone who loves time travel novels. And I am sure that I will try other books by Jenny Lykin.
I enjoyed reading this book, and would suggest it to others looking for a good romantic novel . . .If you want to read a book that goes straight to your heart, read Stolen Moments by Barbara Jeanne Fisher. . .It is a beautiful story of unrequited love. . .for certain the love story of the nineties. I intended to give the book a quick read, but I got so caught up in the story that I couldn't put the book down. From the very beginning, I was fully caught up in the heart-wrenching account of Julie Hunter's battle with lupus and her growing love for Don Lipton. This love, in the face of Julie's impending death, makes for a story that covers the range of human emotions. The touches of humor are great, too, they add some nice contrast and lighten things a bit when emotions are running high. I've never read a book more deserving of being published. It has rare depth. Julie's story will remind your readers that life and love are precious and not to be taken for granted. It has had an impact on me, and for that I'm grateful. Stolen Moments is written with so much sensitivity that it made me want to cry. It is a spellbinder. What terrific writing. Barbara does have an exceptional gift! This book was edited by Lupus specialist Dr. Matt Morrow too, and has the latest information on that disease. ..A perfect gift for someone who started college late in life, fell in love too late in life, is living with any illness, or trying to understand a loved one who is. . .A gift to be cherished forever
It was my favorite of her books... especially since "Don and Jan" are my parents in real life!

(an overlooked gem!)

(Very good read)

(A true romantic love story...)

(very nicely done)

(a very neat Time-Travel)

This is an amazing, beautiful romance. Even if you dislike time travel (and I do), you won't be sorry if you give this a try. Isabel is a smart and determined heroine, and Hunter is a medieval hunk worth going back 700 years for. Their love scenes are sensuous and full of feeling.

The story starts with Isabel feeling rootless and lonely, recovering from a divorce and miscarriage. She stumbles across a chalice that shows her a handsome medieval couple deeply in love. Impulsively she wishes that she were that woman, and presto she wakes up in that woman's body in 1315. Confused, she fakes amnesia while searching for the chalice to get back to her own time.

Hunter meanwhile has been wishing his new marriage was happy and trying to win his scornful wife's Detra's affection. Faced with her amnesia, he seizes upon the chance to woo his wife anew and finally consummate the marriage. He pretends to Isabel that they're a happy couple. Isabel is attracted to Hunter but resists sex because she doesn't want to sleep with another woman's husband. Moreover she can't find the chalice because Hunter has hidden it, scared that he will lose this newly affectionate wife.

I really felt for Hunter. Poor guy was so longing for love (and sex!) from his wife and a happy marriage. Sure he lied to her about them being a happy couple, and later again about the whereabouts of the chalice, but it was understandable and he apologized both times to Isabel (which makes him a bigger hero in my eyes).

The writing is excellent and the plot is well done. There's just enough angst as Isabel finds herself in 1315, but this is not overdone. The action kicks up a notch half way through, when Isabel finds out Detra was trying to annul her marriage and carrying on with another guy behind Hunter's back. What will happen to Hunter and Isabel's new relationship when Hunter finds out? Also what will happen when the supposedly magic chalice attracts the covetousness of Hunter's enemy? And can Isabel stay in this time, not knowing if Detra is trying to get back?

I really loved this romance. The HEA is very satisfying indeed :-)
This was an excellent book. This is my first book by this author. I will be reading more of her books. I would love to read Detra's story and how she survived in the future in Isabel's body. I hope Sandra Landry is planning to write it. I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves time-travel romances.
Cumbria, England -- Present day; Windermere Castle, Cumbria, England -- 1315

Twenty-five year-old Isabel Herbert flees from America to her late grandmother's country home in England to heal from a miscarriage and the subsequent breakup of her marriage. While exploring the countryside, Isabel discovers a jewel-encrusted chalice and is stunned when a mist encloses her in a romantic vision of a man and woman obviously deeply in love. Isabel so wishes she was the recipient of the glowing emotion the man in the vision directs toward the woman Isabel assumes is his wife. His very pregnant wife.

As the inexplicable scene fades, Isabel is caught up in a storm and thrust back in time, awakening to the man from the vision -- who claims he is her husband. Isabel is confused and astonished to find herself occupying the body of the woman she also saw in the chalice's vision. She soon realizes her predicament is not due to an overactive imagination, or wishful thinking. She must now play a dangerous game pretending amnesia until she can find the chalice and somehow return to her own time...and body.

Born on the wrong side of the blanket, Hunter, formerly of Hawkhaven, now of Windermere, has achieved his life's goal -- a gift of a castle from King Edward, and the woman of his dreams. Detra, however, soon turns into the wife of his nightmares, but Hunter is confident he can turn her affections toward him. After an argument over Hunter's precious chalice, and a fall that injures Detra's head, Hunter suddenly realizes his optomism has come to fruition -- Detra is a changed woman. Claiming she has no memory of him or their marriage, Hunter promptly sets out to seduce his lady wife into falling in love with him. But, what will happen when Detra regains her lost memories?

Hunter is one of the most strong, honorable, and sympathetic heroes to ever grace the pages of a romance novel. Isabel is a woman torn between doing what she knows is right or giving in to her own needs and wants. Ms. Landry's character development, from main players to secondary, is flawless.

Although the first half of THE WISHING CHALICE is somewhat slow-paced, the originality, premise of the story, and characterization held my attention. Numerous twists and turns then picked up the pace and led to a most satisfying conclusion.

I highly recommend THE WISHING CHALICE as a true romantic love story filled with intrigue, betrayal, and the bonding of two people who truly belong together, no matter what the era, or setting. I haven't read Ms. Landry's first novel, A PERFECT LOVE, but am keeping my eyes open for a copy!
The story is crafted well, the way both lead characters are trying to use the cup for their various path to love is engaging. I really enjoyed this book. Not sure if it's first time book by this author, but the characters and the setting make me want to check out her other works if she has any or buy future books from me. A very sweet story that makes you really care about the people.
Sandra Landry brings a bright voice to Paranormal Romance with "The Wishing Chalice". A combination of three things - a Chalice, a deep wish and a violent thunderstorm - propels Isabel Herbert back in time. Just not in time, but into another's body. She awakes in another's bed, and in the arms of another's husband - Hunter of Windermere Castle. Handsome Hunter could make the memories of the 21st Century fade fast.

Only, Hunter is puzzled by his wife's sudden change. She was distant from him, especially in bed. Suddenly, they are heating up the covers. However, Hunter also made a wish on his mother's chalice and now believes this is the reason for the change in his wife. But how long will Hunter be granted the dream of a loving wife?

So the chalice, to Isobel, is the means of return to the 21st Century, if she so chooses. But Isobel is seeking it not only for the possible return, but to see into the future, to know if this is where she belongs. Meanwhile Hunter is busy hiding

it hoping it will keep his "new" wife as she is.

This time travel - by having her arrive in another's body instead of just popping back herself - creates a lot of internal conflicts as well as a long of external problems for Isobel. You even get a "guest appearance" of Robert the Bruce in
the novel. So, it's a story that will keep the readers interested to the very end.
Isabel journeyed to England to escape her failed marriage. But what she found instead was a portal to the past--and possibly the key to her future.

Transported back in time, and into the body of a beautiful woman, she cannot deny her growing attraction to her 'husband' Hunter. Nor can they ignore the danger surrounding them, which they must confront--before tragedy strikes.

(The Mirror and the Magic)

I have read this book many times. Julia is such a great heroine- smart, sassy, uses her brain. And the book isn't just about passion, but a deep abiding and sacrificing love between a man and a woman. I just love this book!
I loved this book! It is an adult version of Snow White and creatively written. I love reading time-travel romance novels and this is an excellent example! It's funny, too.
A stumble into an enchanted wood sends Julia Addison into a world of magical potions and feudal wars, that leads to Darach MacStruan, a dark-eyed warrior whom Julia believes to be her Prince Charming, but only if she had a magical enough kiss to awaken Darach to ecstasy.

(Hot Sex w/paranormal twist)

(torrid time travel romantic fantasy)

I am not going to go into too much detail. Pretty much the girl goes back in time and has great sex with a guy. I would recommend this book. I thought the story line was interesting, the sex HOT, HOT, HOT. The book did lack passion (no skimping on the lust though), but the story was worth the money. I would not consider this a romance novel, more like a fantasy sex read but the story did get better as it went along. I would recommend this book for erotica fans.
This book was a little odd to me. No where on the book's description does it tell you that it is a paranormal book (greek gods involved). It took me a while to actually get into this book. Abby comes from the future and ends up meeting Myles and almost immediately they end up having sex, all the time, and in odd places and times. I didn't really "feel" the romantic connection until about 3/4 into the book. The sex scenes were really good however. They end up searching for a statue that Myles wants, and when they find it, it's a greek sex god. I won't give anything else away, but the whole story with that was a little wierd to me, and I really enjoy paranormal romances.
The cover of the book is one of the main reasons I bought this book. So...don't judge a book by it's cover.
Pilot Abby Deane flies her small plane to the hideaway hotel she has just been hired to manage. However, when she lands, Abby finds something quite unsettling. Somehow she ahs traveled back from the twenty-first century to regency England.

Myles Hardy meets Abby and acts as her host to the early nineteenth century. He finds her story about being from the future improbable yet besides her luggage and clothing, Abby has some terrific sex toys that he plans to use with her. As they enjoy their encounter with nights filled of all types of sexual positions and activities enhanced by her gizmos, they fall in love. However, they know she belongs to the future so they search for a lost statue that will allow her to return home; something she does not want to do.

This torrid time travel romantic fantasy stars two wonderful lead characters, a horde of profligate aristocrats (she'd make a fortune selling her toys to this crowd), and a Greek god seeking passion. The story line is fast-paced even during the heat of passion and yet filled with twists. Loaded with heat, ONE MORE TIME is an erotic tale with plenty of heat.

Travel back to a world where lords and ladies ruled the ton by day and wild, wanton abandon ruled them at night...
