customer 's review (A Keeper!)   
(a wonderful touching funny book)  
(Great story, great hero, shame about the heroine)  
(wonderful concepts, dreary female)  
(WOW!)     I adore Debra Dier! This is one of my all time favorite romance novels. Sure, it's a bit sappy at times, but the romance aspect will certainly make you wish you had a man like "Connor" in your life. Laura's character left a bit to be desired, but for me, it didn't take too much away from the story itself. It's full of intrigue, drama, love, and even some humor thrown in for good measure. This title is no longer in print, so you'll have to search for a pre-read copy here on Amazon or in a used bookstore. I can't wait to read more from this author. I found this book to be warm, touching, funny, passionate and very enjoyable. I loved the secondary characters of Aunt Sophie and Daniel. I would have liked to read a bit more about them but maybe they will show up in future books. The other characters of Austin and Sarah made me want to read their story asap.This is a time travel/fantasy romance. The hero, Connor is a sorcerer. He can do things that amaze and frighten some. He travels 1000 years into the future to the 1880s in Boston to meet the woman who has been in his dreams since childhood. Laura. Laura is a woman who is trying to be so very proper to help her father. She has had the same dreams of Connor since childhood but when he appears she has no idea what to do with him. He has her very rattled and she gets so very confused about her feelings towards him and doing what she thinks is the right thing. There are also outside enemies trying to break these two apart and its exciting finding out whether or not they succeed. I really enjoyed this book and I'm looking forward to reading others by this author. This book did not live up to my expectations. Connor was wonderful, a man to die for, but Laura is a great disapointment until the end. If this book had been set in the present day instead of Victorian Boston I think Laura's character could have been changed for the better.She would not have acted the way most victorian ladies did. She would have had a mind of her own and been able to follow the dictates of her heart. The book does pick up even Laura when she accepts its Connor she wants and not that cold fish Philip. She does leave it a little late to tell Philip she won't marry him. At least she came to her senses in time virtually leaving Philip standing at the alter. The other characters in the book were wonderful, especially Aunt Sophie, for a middle-aged victorian spinster she had a lot more go in her. I have just found out that Austin and Sarah have already had a book written about them. Unfortunately I did not know this until I finished reading this book. I would have liked to read their story first. I don't think that bringing someone from the past to the 19th century works as well as if you bring them forward to the present day. The story was full of fantastic ideas, and Connor was all that could be desired, but Laura almost ruined the story for me. She's so repressed and afraid, I found her very irritating. Most of the other characters were great, however. I just finished reading "The Sorcerer's Lady" and All I can say is that I am impressed. It had all I could ever want in a romance....magic, time travel, happy endings, wonderful characters, evil villiens, beautiful love making, sequels, and most important the belief that love conquers all. An ancient Viking sorcerer searches Victorian Boston for his one true love in this time-travel romance from the author of "Devil's Honor" and "Shadow of the Storm".

customer 's review (Steamy and then Some)    
(The old west meets a modern day women !)  
(My first Kimberly Raye book - how hilarious it was!)   
(Intense Romnce)   
(Show And Tell-Laney and Dallas)     For those of you who don't like explicit sex scenes, this book is not for you. I say no holds barred is the way to go and I loved this book and have become an avid Blaze reader. The first of the three short stories, Mystery Lover, is my favorite. B.J. and Jonas are the happily ever after kind of romance that melts your heart. The idea that someone could have a steamy affair with one of their closest friends without the man knowing the identity of the woman seems far fetched, but Vicki Lewis Thompson managed to make it beleivable. She's one of my favorite autors and although she's mostly known for her "Nerd" series, this short story shoundn't be overlooked. I've also read the follow up to this story "Notorious" and wasn't disappointed. The other two stories in this book were aslo enjoyable but Jonas and B.J. will forever hold a special place in my heart. They couldn't have picked a better author to kick off this naughty new series. Blaze is the the best! This book tells a story of two witches back 1882 and a modern day women who makes her living around other's sexually fantasies. Most of the book takes place in the old west with a hot-steaming cowboy and modern-day Elizabeth with a twist of time-travel. You will enjoy this fun read - take a chance I was hooked. I am off to find more books by this author. I really got a big kick out of this book. The characters were so easy to love. I thought her refering to the bad guys (until she learns their names at the end of the book) was darling - Slim, Medium,&Brawny. I liked how she was a woman who went after what she wanted, she didn't just sit back&wait for him to come to her. Being mistaken for Sinful Sinclair definitely had its advantages! I was kind of surprised, though, that at the end of the book, Sinful's sister just basically threw her hands up in the air&said, oh well! Guess my sister is stuck somewhere else. At least it appears she is happy. I loved the relationship between the main characters. They were perfect for each other, even if she wasn't so sure for most of the book (typical heroine). This is the kid of romace novel that is not for the timid. I enjoy the love scenes in this novella. A prequel to the Blaze series. I like the first one, Mystery Lover. But the third one, Show and Tell, really stood out. Especially the part when the main female character,Laney, is masturbating right in front of Dallas. Defintely intense! i read show and tell by kimberly raye.favorite scene with laney- when she lets that girl work for her dad. she was turning her away because of how she dressed, and suddenly realized she can't judge someone by their dress. favorite scene with dallas- finally stands up for himself about the tiles. i hope that guy divorces his wife. :) favorite scene with laney and dallas together- in the dark auditorium when he asks her to show him. that was hot. i was afraid someone would walk in. damn punch. :) order of favorite of the whole anthology: show and tell mystery lover after hours Rerations < Midnight Fantasies (Wink&a Kiss) >

customer 's review (A truly captivating story)    
(Great Sequel...As Good As The First!!)    
(great sequel)    
(A whimsical journey into Highland Territory.)  
(Excellent! You have to read this book.)     What a wonderful read...............engrossing in nature and the lore and legend of Scotland. Her writing took me there with the characters. An amazing story of survival and the power that love holds on one another. Facinating and intense at one point in the book, so as I could not put it down. The best an author can do. I will now go back and find the first book and read it. I just happened upon Circle of Time in the library. Lucky me. I loved Lynn Hanna's first book "The Starry Child" and was eager to read the second in this series and boy was I glad I rushed out to buy this book "Circle of Time". Both books are a tribute to the bindings of family, history and the healing powers of love through time. These books are a must read for any mythical romance lover!! Why not as captivating as the first book, "Circle of Time" holds it own and more!! I loved it! I hope there is a third one in the works cause I'm there if there is. I love how the whole family all once lived another magical life togther in the past and have to correct the past mistakes to make everything right in the preseant. great read I highly recommend it! A bit of a fantastical waste, but an amusing and magical tale in its own way. This is the story of the Macinnes family, a Scottish family empowered with special powers of a sort. They have the ability to commune with spirits, ancestors of old, some telepathic qualities, as well as the ability to conjure up and see faeries and fairy dust in magical forests. The story begins when the father of the Macinnes clan is downed in a horrible plane wreck, and from there the reader is taken into lands unimaginable and fantasies galore. It was a bit too Wonderlandish for me, but a good escape on a quiet evening in front of the fire if you are so inclined. The romance aspect of the story is truly washed up and overused, but the rest of the tale is bouncy and magnetic. This book ties together the love of a family and the almost special powers of the three women in the story. The characters are so real and powerful. The message is still one that love conquers all. The magic of Scotland... The mysteries of love... The magnificent time-travel romance from the author of The Starry Child
WithThe Starry Child, author Lynn Hanna created a unique contemporary novel based on the legends, lore, and love of Scotland. Now Ms. Hanna returns to this enchanting world--where the sole survivor of a plane crash on the rocky coast of Scotland discovers the key to his wife's forgotten past, his daughters dreams, and his own heart...

(A truly great read)    
(A LOVE BEYOND TIME)    
(History with romance you can't beat)    
(Well done on your debut book. I enjoyed every page.)     Dr. Ryan Burke, an anthropologist from the Smithsonian, has accepted an assignment at the Little Big Horn Valley, to document the memories of the children of the survivors of the big battle there in 1876. Ryan is instantly enamored with the culture and history of the Native people, who still call this stark area their home. However, the dig that she is involved with is suspected of selling the archifact finds and she is recruited by an old Indian to help catch the thief.When coming back from doing laundry, the old truck she borrowed breaks down, causing her to walk back to the camp site. Once there, she spies supicious activity from the head of the dig's tent. However, her tent collapses from the storm and she takes up residence in a near by teepee. Every night, she is haunted by visions of a wolf man, who tempts her to come to him. One night, she gives in. When she wakes up, she is transported to 1876, days before the Battle of Little Big Horn. Dillon Wolf is a hot shot attorney, who battles his tribes troubles in Washington, DC. He is determined to shut down the project which he knows is stealing from his people. After a meeting with official, Dillon is involved in an accident, where he is left in an unexplained coma. Ryan and Wolf find each other in the past. From the first actual meeting of the two leads in the story, they are interested in each other. Ryan has difficulty, at time, understanding the reality of the way of life she has chosen to study. Wolf has difficulty understanding why he is drawn to a white woman. However, the author does a wonderful job in explaining both characters and progressing their story. Not once did I feel that love story was forced in any way. It seemed geniune, up until the end. A LOVE BEYOND TIME was an excellent adventure. It is obvious that the author put in valuable research time, that definitely pays off in the story. This book is definitely one of the best I've read of this genre. Even the ending, which can be difficult in a time travel, is without fault and completes the novel well. As a fellow author of a Native American novel, I am very picky when reading such a work by another author. I absolutely loved this book. Besides being well written, the story itself is absolutely absorbing. Having visited the site of the Battle of Little Big Horn, I found myself drawn completely back there by Ms. Aitken's on-the-mark descriptions and prose. Bonnie Napoli author of Shadows of the Eclipse Judie Aitken has done a superb job with A Love Beyond Time. She takes all of us along with Ryan to the Battle of the Little Horn and we all fall in love with Wolf. There is a wonderfully evocative sense of time and place in her work and her secondary characters like Charley and Buddy are interesting and fun. Often when reading this book I found myself with tears in my eyes and a sense of sorrow for a way of life that was soon to be lost. I particulary liked the way that she effortlessly moved us from the present to the past without gimmicks. This is a great story by a very promising writer. It gets my vote for Favorite Book of the Year. This is the first book i have read by Judie Aitken..what a story teller. It blends real history with today and throws in a lot of romance. Going thru some kind of time warp anthropologist Ryan Burke leaves 1999 and wakes up 1876 just days before the Battle of Little Big Horn. She is sent there for a reason. Someone is stealing artifacts from the grounds of Little Big Horn in 1999 so she's in the past to catch a thief. Enjoy this book.... I can only say that as a fellow author of time travel I know the hours of research it must have taken you to write such a spellbinding story. I knew little about the Little Big Horn until your story. Once I started reading, I could not stop. You have a true talent and I look forward to reading your next book. For those of you who are thinking about buying this book, I would say add it to your cart now! When anthropologist Ryan Burke joins a dig at the site of Little Big Horn, she realizes that not everyone is excited about the opportunity. Renowned Indian affairs lawyer Dillon Wolf wants to shut the project down. But when Ryan is given an old tribal tipi, she journeys to the past--where the tension between her and a Lakota warrior named Wolf erupts...into passion.

customer 's review (LOVED IT)    
(A Marvelous "Must Read")    
(enchanting storyteller - pure escaspism)   
(My favourite Kearsley book)    
(WOW!!!!!)     Read this book. It was a terrific story with great descriptions. One of the best I have ever read of this type. Not sappy chick lit but a great love story. Well written. I was very sorry when the story ended and hope that I can find something this great to read soon. Sadly, I just finished this book. Why am I sad? Because I'm already missing the characters...who have become like friends!
I was afraid, at first, that some of the British phrasing would be difficult...but, no problems arose. Maybe I've watched enough episodes of "Cash in the Attic" to understand the British vernacular!
The supernatural twist of this story just works so well...the juxtaposition of the Twentieth and Seventeenth Century. I was fascinated from the very beginning and particularly enjoyed the relationships of the modern day characters...but, it was the story of Richard and Mariana that truly captured me.
I've perused readers' reviews of Kearsley's other books. I initially thought "The Splendour Falls" would be my next...but, have since decided on "Named of the Dragon".
I can't wait for it to show up in my mailbox! Susanna Kearsley has me hooked on her books - she offers a delicious environment, intriguing story, and enveloping characters that work together to get your mind off the mundane and rest in pleasure in that area embalmed in suspended disbelief. There is nothing more pleasurable than a heart-warming suspense with romantic/idealic undertones with a liberal dose of well-versed history and knowledge base. No sappy - cheesy - roll-your-eyes sentences in Kearsly books - just a satisfied grin at the end of the book. This is the first of Kearsley's books, and by far is my favourite. I rarely read books more than once, and I have re-read this one numerous times. Definitely worth reading. That one word sums up my elation at finishing this book. I took this book at a leisurely pace because I didn't want to rush it, and it wasn't so engrossing for me at first to have to rush into. I'm glad I did this because this is one that lingers. I read "The Shadowy Horses" first and can honestly say that I enjoyed this one more, I'm currently reading "Splendour Falls", which was I believe before "Mariana", and so far it has me quite intrigued.Ms. Kearsley does justice to both Mariana and Julia. The blend of History and Romance is dare I say it?.... Sweet. I loved the relationship between Julia and her brother. I love the whole "soul mate" feel in this book. It reminded me of "A Knight in Shining Armor" by Jude Deveraux although this moved at an entirely different pace and the ending brought tears to my eyes. This past weekend I found myself picking up this book again and re-reading some parts. It was JUST THAT GOOD. Happy Reading Rerations < MARIANA >

customer 's review (Bethany's Song)   
(Average time-travel romance)  
(Best Book Ever!! : Bethany's Song)    
(Passion, Sensitivity, Wit and Intelligence)    
(Loved it!!!!!)     I enjoyed Bethany's Song the second in books with the storyline of 3 sisters. Though the book was used, it was in good condition and I received it within just a few days after ordering it. It can stand alone but it was nice to read it after the first book, "Alicia's Song" also by Susan Plunkett. From the back cover:
A sweeter melody...
Two years after her life was altered in a car wreck, Bethany James found freedom. It came in the form of the River of Time, sweeping her away from her old life, to 1895.
But awakening in Juneau, Alaska, Bethany discovered a whole new batch of problems. For one thing, she had been separated from her sisters--the only ones with whom she shared perfect harmony. And the widowed mine-owner who found her--Matthew Gray--was hardly someone with whom she expected to connect.
Yet struggling to survive, drawing on every skill she possessed, the violet-eyed beauty found herself growing into a stronger person. She was learning to trust, learning to love. And in helping Matt to do the same, Bethany realized the laments of the past were only too soon made the sweet strains of happiness.
And my review:
I must admit that I'm a little surprised by the rave reviews here. I thought this book was just average. Maybe because I'd read and loved Remember Love (Time Passages Series) by the same author, so perhaps I was just expecting more than this novel had to offer.
First, I felt the characters were a little flat, especially in the case of the hero. He was just there. I knew his motivations, since the author gave a good look at the tragedies in his past, but I felt there really wasn't much more to him than a tortured soul.
I felt that the historical detail in this book was well done, as were the other subplots. However, the romance itself just never came alive for me. I never really felt that they were meant to be together. It felt more like they were together because of sexual attraction rather than true love. Not that this was a lust-soaked book (it wasn't), but I never really felt like there was more to hold the hero and heroine together.
I'm just glad I didn't read this one first, or I might not have tried another by this author. I recommend starting with REMEMBER LOVE. It's a keeper read, while BETHANY'S SONG wasn't. This book was soooooooooooooooooooooooooooo good!! It didnt give to much away but gave enough. It's the kind that make's you get attached to the character's. Matthew also sound's irresistable!! He was like so romantic when we said "Do you want me to? hehehehehehhe The author of this book did an exeptional job and i cant wait until i read Alicia's Song! I reread this book like 50 time's The Author deserves an applaude!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Bethany�s Song is the second novel in Susan Plunkett�s Song trilogy, and it is nearly as good as her stupendous first, Alicia�s Song.Bethany is singing in a graveyard in modern day Wyoming with her sisters Alicia and Caitlyn when the River of Time sweeps her away to 1895 Juneau, Alaska. There she meets the handsome widowed architect Matthew Gray, who is as riveted by her beauty and plucky spirit as she is by his integrity and magnetic presence. But both Bethany and Matthew carry deep emotional scars from their past that make it nearly impossible to risk their hearts. Bethany also hides the physical scars of a devastating car accident that left her barren, while Matthew has resolved never to marry again and risk a repeat of two years before when his wife and infant son died in childbirth. Bethany is afraid to reveal her fantastic origin to Matthew while he is unsettled that she will share very little about her past. While they fight their overwhelming attraction, clever Bethany figures out a number of ways to support herself, and Matthew delves deeper into the apparent corruption plaguing the mine he has just inherited. Bethany assists the investigation, and she and Matthew are drawn unwillingly into a passionate affair. It is only when their discoveries nearly cost Bethany her life that she and Matthew are able to acknowledge their love and believe in a future together before it�s too late. Plunkett creates complex and appealing characters the reader loves and follows with rapt attention. As with Alicia�s Song, I could barely turn the pages of Bethany�s Song fast enough as exciting plot twists unfolded in the unforgettably magnificent Alaskan landscape. Bethany�s Song is immensely enjoyable. Plunkett writes with a rare passion, sensitivity, wit, intelligence and genuine heartfelt emotion. Like all of her work, Bethany�s Song is not to be missed. Like her sister Alicia, Bethany James is swept away from present day Drexel, Wyoming, by the River of Time. She finds herself in 1895 Juneau, Alaska. Susan Plunkett's characters are three dimensional and very likable, and her insightful, and well researched, look at Alaska in the 1800's is a refreshing change of scenery. Bethany is more than confounded by her time travel, she's scarred and reticent to open herself to love - in any century.Architect Matthew Gray has his hands full. He's dealing with the loss of his father, and trying to find the saboteur at his family's mining operation. The unexpected arrival of lovely Bethany is one more complication he doesn't need. Nevertheless, the two work well together, forming a realistic bond that will last through time. Another Susan Plunkett winner. I can't wait for Caitlin's story! Rerations < Bethany's Song >
