(Absolutely perfect!!)

(A Stunner!)

(Wanted: Likeable Heroine)

(Brilliant first novel!)

(True Entertainment!)
I read her second book first and loved it and little did I know when I picked up this one that I would love it even more!!!! It defintely is one I wished would never end!!! I have tried new (to me at least) authors and have never struck gold before!!! She is now writing contemporary novels, but I hope in time she will return to the time travel, she's just amazing!!
A time travel romance that is beyond any I have read before! Amazingly, this is Karen White's first novel. I didn't know that until I finished the book and went to her website to write to her and tell her how much I enjoyed "In the Shadow of the Moon".

The book centers on Laura Truitt and a strange lunar eclipse combined with a comet. Laura travels back to the Civil War era in search of her daughter. Here she meets Stuart Elliott and his family. This book kept me enthralled as Laura attempts to blend with the era she finds herself in and at the same time find her way back to the twentieth century. I had to laugh as Laura stuns and surprises Civil War era men with the independent spunk of a twentieth century woman. This book is a keeper and I will read it again, which I rarely do. Readers who enjoy romance, time-travel and edgy excitement will positively love this book!
While the writing is smooth and competent, the plotting and characterizations leave something to be desired. Laura Truitt, apparently intended to be spunky and forthright, comes across as thoughtless, rude and sometimes cruel, often acting like a child with no social graces. The hero, Stuart, is longsuffering and bland to the point of boredom. Laura's search for her daughter was the most compelling part of the book, yet that did not deliver the emotional punch that it should have. Many of the plot elements seemed contrived. That said, Ms. White has great promise and will hopefully attempt something in the future that is more original and borrows less heavily from those who have gone before (namely, Diana Gabaldon and Margaret Mitchell).
Karen White is a rising star whose first novel was a "grabber" from beginning to end. Current reading tastes don't favor the first person but Ms.White has used this technique so superbly, I can't imagine this tale told in any other format. Nor was there ever a moment during the reading that I was wishing the book were written in other than the first person. Though we weren't in the thoughts of any one but the heroine, Ms. White was still able to develop the hero so well, I "knew" him just as well as I might have had we been privy to his thoughts.

All her characters are very well drawn and the paranormal/time travel element handled to perfection. This is a well-researched book that reflects the authors strong grasp of history--but she weaves it through the tale so skillfully, the action is never halted. From the first moment Linda Truitt stepped over the threshold of that house, I felt like I became her and traveled with her as she searched for her lost daughter and stepped into the turmoil of our country's civil war. I was as torn as Linda was when she couldn't reveal all to the hero for fear of changing history and wondered whether had I been put to such a test would I have had the same strength.

I couldn't turn the pages fast enough but by the book's end-- satisfying ending that it was-- I would've loved 400 more pages so I could continue experiencing the trials and joys Linda faced living out her life in a time long before her actual birth. Instead I closed the book with a sigh and am eager for the next book by this talented new writer.
The main character is Laura Truit --- an educated and spunky woman of the 21st century. Unexpectedly she finds herself flung back into the 1860's. I cried with her, and learned a new perspective of the Civil War. I also laughed with her, got frustrated and angry, and fell in love with the people in her new life. In other words -- I became her and couldn't put the book down. In my opinion, this is true entertainment. Buy it, you'll love it!

(A fun, light read)

(Highly amusing parody of "A Connecticut Yankee")

(This was okay)

(Boring)

(Wanted to like the book. Couldn't get past the flaws.)
There is little to be said about this book that other reviews havent touched on, but this is a fun little read. Although I have always been skeptical about romance novels, I have to admit, I could not put this one down. Granted, the character Kat, is positively annoying...but there is an endearing quality to me that allowed me to move past that. I look forward to reading some of Ms. Mancusi's work.
Ever since Mark Twain wrote the brilliant comedy "A Connecticut Yankee at King Arthur's Court" both other writers and Hollywood have mined a rich seam of humour from copying the idea of someone from the writer's own time sent back to Camelot.

Some of these have been very good (I particularly like the song "Busy Doing nothing" which came from the first film version) while others have been less so.

Marianne Mancusi's book is definately one of the most amusing of the genre.

The heroine, Katherine (Kat) Jones, an associate fashion editor straight out of "Sex and the City" compelte with $400 Manolo Blahnik shoes, is attending a mock medieval carnival called "King Arthur's Fayre. She manages to annoy a fortune teller who threatens to cast a spell on Kat. Nobody else takes this seriously, but a few minutes later Kat is watching a simulated joust when the lance breaks, and a fragment flies towards her and strikes her on the forehead, knocking her out. She recovers in Camelot ...

Of course there is the obligatory serious of jokes as Kat initially assumes she is still in the 21st century among people pretending to be medieval knights and ladies. But eventually she realises that she really has gone back to a time where decent clothes and shoes, not to mention a decent cafe latte, are more than a thousand years away. How to get home?

The style in which the story is told is a delight, and it is a funny, entertaining romp with a lot of surprises and shock twists. Strongly recommended.

To resolve the chaos created by the hilarious surprise ending, Marianne Mancusi has written a sequel, which is called "A Hoboken Hipster in Sherwood Forest."

The author does a passable job for her first foray in the time travel romance genre. I expect way better from her if she publishes her next one. I like the way she plays with the legend of King Author though.
First of all, this book was written in first person, and it really needed to be in third. First person made the language feel awkward and I felt detached from Katy. There were also a lot of flaws with the writing in general. I got so tired of hearing designer brand names being dropped, and it ended up making Katy look stupid and self-absorbed.I wasn't impressed with Lancelot's character. I also hated how everything wrapped up neatly. All of a sudden Guen and Katy are BFF, and Katy gives Guen this ridiculous makeover. I don't even think that chapter was needed. To be honest, I didn't even want to finish reading the book. The only reason I did was because I felt guilty.

I thought the ending was just as bad, and it obviously reads as a sequel--but no thanks. I'll pass.

Before I start this review let me say I loved the television show Sex in the City, and I love medieval times and Camelot. Sadly, the two didn't work in this book. I did have several laugh out loud moments, and thought some of Kat's snarky comments were quite funny and appropriate. Still, the book didn't work for me.

While Kat had some good moments, I couldn't empathize with her. Since the book was told in first person, I found getting that deep inside her head made her seem whiny and vapid. It was very difficult to empathize with her as a character.

Secondly, she didn't seem realistic, and the reason why - protection! She's having nightly sex with Lancelot. Lots and lots of nightly sex, and not one mention of condoms or protection. She's there long enough that her birth control pills would have run out, and frankly, considering that she mentions medieval hygiene several times in the book, I would have thought that she would have mentioned condoms, especially since we're given a detailed inventory of what's in her purse. One item (or several items, like tampons) are conspicuously absent.

I tried to like this book. I really did. I wanted to like and enjoy it. Sadly, the protection issue and the fact that many times Kat came across as self-absorbed and shallow, ruined the story for me, and by the time I got to the ending, all that was left was to try and sell the book on ebay and try to recoup my losses.

Once upon a time there lived an outspoken fashion editor named Kat, who certainly was not your typical damsel in distress. But when a gypsy curse sent her back in time to the days of King Arthur, she found she'd need every ounce of her 21st century wits (and pop culture references) to navigate the legend. After all, surviving a magical plot, an evil prince, and a case of mistaken identity--all without changing history or scuffing your Manolos--takes some doing!

Luckily, she's got her very own knight in shining armor, Lancelot du Lac, on her side. The honorable-to-a-fault and devastatingly handsome champion insists on helping her out, even though she's not quite sure she wants him to. After all, shouldn't he be off romancing Queen Guenevere or something? Will Kat manage to stay out of trouble long enough to get back to her beloved café lattes, cosmopolitans and cashmere? And what will Lancelot's forbidden love mean for the kingdom of Camelot?

(An absolute keeper...)

(Delightful Regency)

(A definite keeper!)
I loved this book right from the start. It is fast paced, witty and kept me to my couch until the end. It was funny to read that Amanda - the time traveller - would have killed for a piece of pizza or a juicy cheeseburger. That she suffered through the realization that toilet paper had to be inveted yet, etc. I wished that Amanda would have used her knowlege of the future more to change everyday life, expecially when planning the restoration of "The Park" or in any other aspect of life, to better the position of women in society for excample. Her adaption into regency life as a woman without even trying to "meddle" quite a lot did not strike true to me. To be fair it has to be said that the book only covers about two months in Amanda's new life therefore there is not much that she could have achived. But I would have loved to read an additonal chapter like "10 years later" or so, just to learn what she did with her knowledge and if her husband learned to accept her as an equal partner. Nevertheless, the book is more than worth reading, so if you can put your hands on a copy - DO IT.
Ms. Barbour's knowledge of the Regency era is as solid as her power of reasoning. Both combined allowed her to create a believable time-travel story -- not an easy task for any writer. Fans of the conventional Regency romance will like this book and so will anyone who enjoys a well-plotted story.

This is indeed a keeper. I have it on my shelf.
RDP

I have read many romance time travel novels and only a handful are worth rereading. This book is one of them. It's truly a delight, and for once I was actually disappointed when the book came to an end!
Transported back in time to Regency London and into the arms of handsome Lord Ashindon, Amanda McGovern finds herself trapped in the identity of the innocent heiress Amanda Bridge and is devastated when it appears that Ashindon wants her only for her wealth.

(Wonderful!)

(A keeper for sure!!!)

(MY FAVORITE!!)

(Did we read the same book? This isn't lovemaking, it's rape!)

(I read this book when I was about 14)
I loved this book. It really made you think about "could this actually happen?" I love the bits of history, the attitudes of people in different times, the extraordinary amount of research that Mrs. O'Day must have put into this. She is just an awesome story teller.
I read this book many years ago and fell in love with it. I just found it again and re-read it- yep, still love it! I don't really agree with the last review about the "rape" scene. It's a fictional book and I took it as that- fictional. It was an important part of the plot, although it may be disturbing to some, you soon forget about it as Constance weaves her magical spell. I felt transported back in time with Brianne and almost wished it were true. I hated that the book ended, and the ending was fabulous! I wish there was a part two and I could continue reading about Brianne and Ryan's life. Not to be, but at least I have this copy and I can pull it out every few years and get swept back in time once again and try to pretend I don't know how the story will turn out. I love this book and highly recommend it to all those who enjoy an easy read that will make your heart flutter and your cheeks flush!
THIS IS MY ALL TIME FAVORITE BOOK! I HAVE READ IT OVER AND OVER. A TRUE ROMANCE NOVEL...AND A VERY HARD ACT TO FOLLOW.
Everybody raved about how good this book was, so I decided to give it a try. I didn't get very far.

When the hero (who up to this point despises the heroine) has sex with the heroine WHILE SHE'S DRUGGED UP ON LAUDANUM and passed out, not really aware of what's going on! His reasoning? She's dressed in pants and must be a prostitute, therefore he's not doing anything wrong. He's got a right to use her because she's a whore! I was so disgusted that this book flew across my room.

Yeah, yeah, I know such things were just par for the course in many 80's romances, but this is sick, sick, sick! Hello, people! Sex without a woman's consent is called RAPE!!!! That's why they call it the "date-rape" drug, and not the "seduction" drug! I can't believe people actually find this romantic.

This disgusting "love" (RAPE!) scene appears just 50 pages into the book. So it's not like they hero and heroine have had any time to fall in love with one another. In fact, they hate each other. I don't like such early sex even between consenting adults, let alone a rape scene (which is NEVER acceptable!) Skip this book!

and I still think about the storyline quite frequently. Not only did I love the characters and how they developed throughout the book, but I'm very much into the New Orleans: it's such a great setting for a romance to take place. "Timeless Passion" also includes many dualisms, like North vs. South, being a modern career woman vs. being an oppressed wallflower wife, etc. For me, the time travel genre is a great expression of clashing ideals and interests, which can be both hilarious and shocking depending on what's encountered. From a person that reads just about anything she picks up, I'm still a very harsh critic. This book, along quite a few classics, I swear it makes me want to be a writer, too. On a side note, it was clever of O'Day-Flannery to make Brianne so short in comparison to Ryan. We need more characters that aren't portrayed as supermodels so that more people can enjoy these types of novels.
The last thing Brianne remembers is driving along the highway, outside of New Orleans. But when she wakes up after the accident, she finds herself sitting in the middle of a meadow, staring up at the most handsome man she'd ever seen--and he's telling her the year is 1856.

(time travel, cancel trip!)

(I JUST LOVE THIS SERIES (TIME TRAVELERS))

(Hope the Rest Are A Tad Better-)

(A big fan in Pa.)

(Time Travelers, Inc. does it again)
Oh dear, initial premise good, 1800's school marm reads 17th century pirate tale and ends up on pirates ship. I do not have enough English Major in me to figure out what exactly is wrong with this book, but it read as very flat, almost like reading a play and trying to inject emotion from the page into a character, very exhausting and ultimately not worth the effort.
This is the second book I have read by Hollie Van Horne and I love both of them!! Each book has its own unique story with super characters and great plots!! I really enjoy how Ms. Van Horne has incorporated Sam and Jim Cooper into each book. The main character Jane Engle is a very likeable heroine and Captain Garrett Michaels is just well...sigh...very lovable and can I say super duper hot!! This book (WILD ROSES FOR MISS JANE) has more adventure than the first one and I agree with the other reviewers that this book is so much more romantic than the first!! PLEASE...PLEASE read this book if you love sexy romance, hot pirates and adventure!!
I very much like the time travel premise and thought that Reflections of Toddsville was nicely writen (save some typos...who proofs Hollie's books anyhow?) and it ended superbly.

So I was looking forward to the second in the series...it's got a wonderful - intriguing plot and I enjoy that very much...but why the heck does she have to overdo the sex? Enough already- the story is good enough to stand on it's own, if I wanted a purely romance novel I'd just look for that instead!

I met the author at Beaver Valley Mall and purchased WHEN WE DO MEET AGAIN. I have read all of the books in the series as well as SPEAK OF THE DEAD and MISS JANE is my favorite. I have read it over and over again. What can I say! A handsome pirate, a tropical paradise, and a feisty heroine. My book is dogeared from reading it again and again. Romance reader heaven! Thanks Hollie.
I have read every book H. Van Horne has written, and I swear no two are alike. Each Time Travel book is its own story totally unique with great characters you never really forget. I still think about Cuyler and Trudy, and I read Reflections of Toddsville months ago. I love the minor characters: Sam and Jim Cooper and Bruce Wainwright who pop up in each book. Sam is in Wild Roses for Miss Jane too and up to his usual wild self. I thought Jane was an incredible heroine and Captain Garrett Michaels was...hot! I like all the books. But, this one is the most adventurous and romantic so far, and if you love romance, pirates, and HOT steamy Caribbean nights on soft beaches...well...you need to get this book. I suggest all of the books in the Time Travelers series, and Speak of the Dead also. I can't wait for the next book in the series McKnight's Revenge.
Wild Roses for Miss Jane ~ Miss Jane Engle has found a new home, security, and a classroom full of smiling faces in her 1876 one-room schoolhouse in Albany, New York. Choosing to teach rather than to marry handsome widower and father of one son, Garrett Michaels, Jane has found serenity...if not happiness and love. When Jane reads the pirate book young Trace Michaels has hidden in his school desk, Jane is transported to a 1722 British sailing ship that is being attacked by the notorious Caribbean pirate, Captain Garrett Michaels. Although he looks just as handsome as his 1870's counterpart, there are some major differences -- the cruel and sinister look in his eyes, and the sharp dagger he has pressed against her throat. Will Jane be able to tell the Albany Board of Education "what she did on her summer vacation" if she ever returns?

(Hard to Put Down)

(Great Read!)
This is the story of a wheelchair bound young woman who has her dream job of working in a museum and now she has been given the responsibility of arranging an exclusive Arabian exhibit...All her life, she struggled to achieve the greatness her brother and sister have but always seem to fall short and disappoint her parents and after a riding accident leaves her paralyzed they finally give up on her. Lindsey is lonely but is determined to be self sufficient. While cleaning a mysterious vessel she finds in the exhibit, a gorgeous male genie, Kasim, appears and offers her three wishes. Lindsey thinks he is an actor sent to go along with the exhibit until he performs a few impossible feats. Lindsey has never seen a more gorgeous male, but knows he would never be interested in her. Lindsey has a kind heart and sees the sadness in Kasim's eyes...she decides she will wish him free, she is too unselfish to use the wishes for herself.

Kasim has never been owned by such a kind master,he hopes she will wish herself healed. She is so beautiful he wishes he was worthy to be with her, but if she knew what he has had to do at the command of some of his masters, she would be horrified. Kasim was a mortal who was a teacher to a young prince, but was imprisoned as a genie when he failed to protect his young charge. When Kasim tricks Lindsey into wishing herself healed, she in turn wishes him free but they are transported to the time and land of his birth. It is revealed that an ancient prophecy says Kasim will come back and release the young prince and his country from evil with the help of his true love. A wise man Omar believes that true love must be Kasim's childhood sweetheart the now sultana who is married to the evil czar. When the sultana is revealed to be less than he thought Kasim must turn to Lindsey to fulfil the prophecy but will she accept him, he is a product of a brutal time.....will they admit their true feelings for each other or will fear of being rejected keep them apart.

When I first started reading this book, I was afraid it was going to be corny....a genie out of a bottle.? but it was suprisingly very, very good. Read it and you will agree.

Rotten cover artwork, but great book. Funny and enjoyable. It is light and the characters are believable. I hope she pens another like this.
For more than a thousand years, Kasim al-Jinni has suffered a string of masters who used his jinni powers for their own selfish desires. Kasim has resigned himself to his deserved fate, for he failed young Prince Hajji and allowed evil to enslave the land of Zharinda. But when his new master Lindsey McCullough releases him from his magic jar, he discovers she has a kind heart. He longs to give her the one gift her miraculous, modern world cannot do— restore the use of her legs.After ten years in a wheelchair, the thought of being healed makes Lindsey nervous. Her overly critical parents have finally accepted that Lindsey will never achieve greatness like the rest of her family. She long ago abandoned dreams of love and family, taking solace in her own small, safe world.

When Kasim tricks Lindsey into wishing her injury healed, she meddles in his life¾ wishing him free of the curse that enslaves him. To her shock, her wish sweeps them both back to ancient Zharinda. Worse, Kasim has lost his jinni powers and can't return Lindsey to her own time unless he overthrows the malevolent power which holds the land in thrall.

Thrown into the heart of an Arabian adventure, Lindsey and Kasim are soon embroiled in magic, court intrigue, and a prophecy that promises Kasim to a lovely Sultana—despite the yearning he feels for Lindsey. He cannot change his fate, which has been written in the stars for more than a thousand years. He cannot abandon his homeland to the hand of evil. Yet Lindsey deserves a true Arabian Knight...
