Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (Not much romance) 『I was kind of disappointed with this book. The ghost of Lady Allyson tricks Derek in going back in time to help her get out of a disastrous marriage. But, when he gets there she doesn't remember him and spends the whole time being mean and humiliating him.
When he finally has had enough and washes his hands of her, she decides to be nice to him. It isn't until the last few pages of the book they come together and that's rushed by the author.
The premise of the story was a good one, but was not executed very well.』
(good despite hero and heroine....) 『this was a first Angie Ray book for me. She is a very good romance writer and the book was entertaining.
The flaws-The "romance" between the two characters was a bit frustrating because this is one of the type of romances where the two characters fight-themselves, each other and the romance-till almost the end. The hero, Derek, is a playboy, and he fights being a stand up guy till the end as well. If these were resolved quicker in the book I think it would have been more enjoyable.
The praise-even with some character issues, Ms Ray writes such a fast paced, enjoyable story that you can overlook the foibles.
I'd recommend this book to anyone who likes time travel, fish out of water, or humorous romance. 4 stars.』
(A very funny book but slightly perplexing) 『Not very many books play like a movie in my head. But this book was written so well that I literally saw it in my head as though I was watching a movie instead of reading a book. The tortures that Lady Allison thinks of for the reluctant playboy 'knight', had me rolling in laughter until tears fell from my eyes. The only thing that had me perplexed with this book, is the relationship between Lady Allison and Derek Sinclair.
For anyone who has read A Knight To Cherish, the you would know that My Lady In Time is the sequel to it. So if Lady Allison Pelsworth is a descendent of Garrick Sinclair, who is the long lost brother of Derek Sinclair, wouldn't that make Lady Allison Derek Sinclair's great-great niece?
That thought provoking question is the only reason why I gave this book four stars instead of five. Aside from that, this book will not leave you feeling disappointed. I would recommend reading A Knight To Cherish first though.』
(I enjoyed it) 『Fun and entertaining with a cast of characters I had a good time reading about.』
(A GREAT BOOK!) 『I laughed so much when i read this book that tears where streaming down my cheeks...the charachters are loving...the story is witty,funny and romantic...with all this rolled up together it made one of the best books i had ever read!...if you love time travel don't waste any more time trust me you don't want to miss this book..;)』 『A handsome California playboy wakes up in Medieval England in 1498. And for the first time in his life, he finds a love that transcends time. Angie Ray is a Rita Award-winning author. A "Time Passages" series original romance. .』
Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (A Bad Imitation of Gabaldon---sorry folks!) 『I love all types of Egypt books--good and good-bad. This one was a disappointment. Like the last reviewer, I was turned off by the Judeo-Christian element. This is a book about Egypt after all! Aside from Hatshesut being a bit of a nymphomaniac, the story was predictable, and not nearly enough detail was given in the "rescue" scenes--seemed like all of a sudden Chloe was safe again, and you don't know exactly how she got that way. Read Diana Gabaldon's books---same idea done with way more detail, excitement, and historical interest.』
(Pretty Good Story) 『I have read all 4 of these books by Ms. Frank and with this being the first in the series, I thought the story was pretty good but not her best. At times, the novel seems a bit far fetched but all and all a good read if you enjoy historical fiction.』
(Romantic and memorable) 『I found this book to be one of the more memorable books I have read. The romance is well written (although some of the historical points could be suspect). I enjoyed this book immensly and would like to see more of this author.』
(Far-fetched and simplistic, boring at times) 『When the lion "Thief" showed up, I lost all respect for the book. Please. It was also a bit strange on the religious front. I was offended somewhat by the author's portrayel of the whole thing, and I'm not even a super religious person.
The writing was childish. No way in heaven is this in the league of Diana Gabaldon. Not even close. The relationship between RaEm and Cheftu is like comparing a match to an inferno with Jamie&Claire.
I was disappointed. And even more disappointed when I picked up the next book only to find "oh look, they've travelled to a new time now"... here we go all over again. Boring, yawn. The character development was not good enough. And the plot was not satisfying to the reader.』
(Really opened my eyes!) 『I had read other "flung back in time" novels and, while I loved the Gabaldon series, figured with this one I would be just reading fluff. Boy, was I wrong. This book really made the Exodus vivid to me and made the Bible come alive. Getting vicious satisfaction out of crunching on the locusts, dealing with the Nile as blood, and the staffs turning into snakes! I was enthralled right from the start, and bought them for my mother, who loved it as well. I would recommend to anyone.』 『After entering an ancient chamber on an archaeological dig, Cloe Kingsley is sent back in time to the year 1452 B.C. to the Egyptian court of Hatshepsut and into the body of a corrupt priestess, where she is now forced to face her new environment and the challenges it holds. A first novel.』
Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (A Sweet, Enchanting Romance) 『I must start by saying I don't normally like time travel books but I picked this book because it sounded interesting. I was not disappointed.
This is the story of Barrett Overbrook. She is at a point in her life where she isn't exactly happy being. She drives to a bed and breakfast where her life changes completely. She falls asleep and wakes up giving birth in the 1880's! She also discovers she's married and has a biracial brother-in-law.
This story was romantic, funny and sweet! Barrett, a.k.a. Elizabeth, is funny trying to adjust to the new time she is in. She slips up and says the funniest things for the time period she is in. Her husband, Chase, doesn't understand the drastic changes in his wife. The stiff, formal Elizabeth has undergone a dramatic change during childbirth. She is a completely different person. Barrett, during a conversation with her guardian angel Mr. Gideon, discovers she has been brought back in time and is stuck there until she learns to love and accepts love. Her feelings toward Mr. Gideon are quite hilarious.
I can't express enough how much I loved this book. The storyline was wonderful. The characters were well developed and seemed real. Chase was a great character. The character of Wes seemed to really add to the story. Mr. Gideon added to the story also. I couldn't wait to find out what happened next and read this book in one day. The story was written so well that there were not any dull periods in it. It read smoothly from one chapter to the next and was just an all around great read. This is a feel good story. A keeper for anyones library.』
(a very sweet book) 『This is the first book I've read by this author and I really enjoyed it. I was able to read it all in one day and I had to work today too. Its an easy read and made my day brighter.
This is a time travel book where the heroine, a modern woman named Barrett, meets up with her guardian angel Gideon. Gideon sees that her life is very unfullfilling. She has never known love even from her family and he decides there is only one way to show what love is. Send her back in time to 1887. She arrives in the body of a woman named Elizabeth who is giving birth. What an entrance. Elizabeth's husband and half brother are attending her. They can't quite figure out how the prim, proper, and very unassuming Elizabeth has sudden turned into this vocal, independant self assured woman who demand to be Barrett. Barrett has no clue as to how she has arrived. she thinks its a bad dream. She soon discovers though that its all real and she now has a baby and a angry and remote husband to deal with.
Over time she becomes adjusted to her new life and longs to have a real relationship with Chase, her husband. But something she knows nothing about stands in the way. Chase is confused and still hurt by past events but cannot deny the strong feelings he has for Barrett.
This is a sweet story with wonderful secondary characters. I will have to read more from this author.』
(The Devil is in the Details) 『When reading a story, I understand many look for realistic details to make them feel a part of the characters. Waiting For Yesterday certainly is long on details. In my opinion, the author could have left out the unsavory descriptions of childbirth(a man's hand shoved up into the heroine's uterus), the disgusting vivid account of breast engorgement(and breast milk shooting across the room), baby biological functions(specifically descriptions of feces being smeared on the heroine). I could go on, but I'm sure by now you get the picture.
If it weren't for the unnecessary descriptions, which fill an abundance of pages in this book, the story could have been enjoyed more. I do admit to finishing the book, due to interest in how Barrett, the main character, would choose her fate.
Normally, I would give a short detailed description of the overall story, but I won't bother this time since I sincerely suggest spending your reading entertainment dollars on a different book!』
(Tinker Belle) 『This book was wonderful. Most time travel just sorta have the people show up. They never seem confused or concerned. They act like it's an everyday occurence. Ms Lykins gives a whole new meaning to the word time travel. They are very innovative and the people in her stories act confused, concerned and scared. They pull from an inner strength they never realized they possesed to deal with the situation. If you enjoy time travel and a good love story, you'll love any of Ms. Lykins books.』
(Loved this book!) 『This was one of the most unusual time travels I've ever read. I really enjoyed the method of travel as well as the twin storyline. I've researched this time period extensively, and I can say the author pulled me into the story with her convincing setting and wonderful plot. I highly recommend this book.』 『Emotionally desolate after her ex-boyfriend marries her twin sister, Barrett Overbrook checks into a quaint bed-and-breakfast in Columbus, Ohio, only to awaken the next morning in the year 1887, caught in the pains of imminent childbirth.

Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (top form) 『It was a great conclusion to the series! Susan Grant never disappoints me!』
(Read the book, you'll like it!) 『For those of you who like sci-fi action and romance you should read "The Legend of Banzai Maguire" first. The action rips right through the book and you'll finish reading it in no time, hence that leads to "The Scarlet Empress." In this book you'll find the deeper emotions revealed between Ty and Bree and their struggles with the U.C.E., and in my humble opinion the best parts in this book (which there are many) is the interaction between Cam and Kyber, the delicate movements between the two, like Swans drawing closer each dancing around but not quite sure...yet! I love the witty dialog exchange between these two, you'll laugh because you'll swear you've had a similar conversation or you'll say to yourself "oh, good come back! I have to use that next time." I found myself feeling closer to Kyber this time around (you'll have to read the book as to why), and that's a good thing! A good writer will have enough details of each character that you as a reader will find yourself relating not so much as the experiences (maybe for some of you), but to the personal struggles one goes through. Now that's real! Take the risk and read the book, you won't be disappointed.』
(Cam comes to the rescue!) 『The 2176 series comes to an exciting close with a story both complex and emotionally satisfying. Cam 'Scarlet' Tucker has been found and removed from her cryogenic container. But the efforts to keep her hidden from those that want her for political reasons fail. Cam is captured by a disguised Prince Kyber, who is still hurting from Banzai Maguire's escape and subsequent capture by the UCE. As Kyber and Cam form an emotional bond Banzai attempts to survive the brutal tortures of the UCE regime. The revolution begins, the Voice of Freedom is revealed, and Cam comes to the patriotic rescue. Recommended.』
(The Scarlet Empress) 『This is an action-filled romance novel with loads of suspense that you have to just keep reading and not put the book down.Great characters that you will learn to love and see how they go through some exciting times to accomplish their goals.A greatlove story!』
(Fantastic ending to a wonderful series!) 『This is the final story in the 2176 Series. In this story, we have the pleasure of once again being with Banzai "Bree" Maguire and the love of her life, Tyler "Ty" Armstrong. They have been constantly on the move ever since Bree managed to rescue Ty from the acting Emperor of Asia's prison. Finally deciding to call in an old favor, the two of them decide to hide out with pirates for a while. Of course, Bree can sense that something just isn't right...
We also get to discover that Southern Belle and Bree's wingman, Cameron "Scarlett" Tucker is alive and living in Mongolia. Once again, the acting Emperor strikes and manages to take Scarlett back to his home. This time, Prince Kyber has no intentions of becoming emotionally involved with his "guest", despite Scarlett's best attempts.
THE SCARLETT EMPRESS is one of the best stories I have read in 2004! Susan Grant started the 2176 series with a bang and left me crying at the end of this story. The series wraps up beautifully with all the women fighting for freedom coming together. Of course, their men are no slouches either. The biggest shock of the entire series is discovering just who the "Voice of Freedom" is. If you enjoy a good futuristic action story, don't miss THE SCARLETT EMPRESS. If you enjoy reading about strong women and equally strong men, don't miss THE SCARLETT EMPRESS. If you enjoy a story with a wonderful ending bringing on the tears, don't miss THE SCARLETT EMPRESS. In other words, this book has to be on your to be read list! 』
Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (Time passes slowly) 『This book is a good time travel, but it gets slow in a lot of spots. I can normally absorb a book quickly that I can't put down. This one I've been putting down often. It seems to drag in places. Don't get me wrong I think it's worth the read, and the premise is very good. But it's just not an I can't put you down book.』
(1st OFF Amazon's brief description is for the wrong book!!!!) 『TRUE DESCRIPTION OF BOOK: A DISTANT PAST; Kristine Gavin was depressed about turning thirty until she received a most unusual gift from her brother. It was a portrait he'd found in the attic of their family home in Virginia, a portrait of a woman who must have been their ancestor; judging from Kris' resemblance to the beauty. But it wasn't the painting that intrigued Kris....And old newspaper clipping about the woman's strange disappearance caught within the frame drew her in. Just as Kris was uncovering a fascinating secret from the past she sensed a change in the air-and found herself thrown back in time into a strange room, staring into the eyes of the sexiest man she had ever seen! AN UNCERTAIN FUTURE; Sean O'Mara froze when he saw his wife Christia standing before him. She had vanished and the news had written about in all of the papers-he had been charged with her murder!
MY REVIEW: I liked it... it started out to be very interesting and continued for the most part to carry it's worth. I realized that this book was one of THE 1st Time Travel books that were written and I read it as such. If you have the opportunity to get your hands on this one please do, it doesn't have a lot of humor but Kris is smart and makes the most of her situation (you'll understand this comment better once you read the book) What I didn't like was the time spent in his time is so short.... I would have rather had her time there be longer and not so much time spent in present day. Overall a good read I don't know if I would consider it a "keeper" though.』
(Good but isn't a keeper!) 『I liked this audio cassette recording of Constance O'Day Flannery's Time-Kept Promises and I liked the story about the modern day lady named Kris Gavin being transprted back in time and meeting Sean O'Mara and Sean thinking that Kris is his missing lookalike wife who apparently is not a nice person so that would explain why Sean is so rude to Kris and why he is so shocked that the person he thinks is his cold hearted wife is so much nicer and you can understand his being cynical. Though I liked this story I didn't think it was a keeper.』
(the kind of romance all women love!) 『The book was thrilling. It was a real page turner. I read it over five years ago and I still remember it. I've been looking fort it for years because it's such a thrilling book.

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.』
(Hot Sex w/paranormal twist) 『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.』
(torrid time travel romantic fantasy) 『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.

Based on the ratings, I thought it would be a great read. Unfortunately, it was very hard to follow. One minute we are in one century, the next in another. Very hard to follow, very poorly written. Don't waste your time or money.』
(We Love Jennie's Reprisal !!!) 『The gals at "Hair It Is" love Jennie's Reprisal. Jennie Gravatt's journey from Atlantis to Eternity has a compelling realness. And facts regarding our town of Ashtabula, presented during Jennie's lifetime in the early 1920s, made the story even more real to us. This is truly a great book.』
(Creative and Extremely Sensual) 『The fascinating premise of Jennie's Reprisal held my interest from start to finish. I really became involved with Jennie in all of her manifestations. Movement back and forth, from the present time to the distant past, evoked feelings of timelessness. Scenes are creative and extremely sensual. A beautifully inspiring book that gives hope for the future!』

Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (an overlooked gem!) 『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 :-)』
(Very good read) 『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.』
(A true romantic love story...) 『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!』
(very nicely done) 『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.』
(a very neat Time-Travel) 『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.』
