(A Five Star Book)

(Second Chances)

(Second Chances)

(I really liked this story.)

(best regency-timetravel-romance ever written)
This is my first Allison Lane novel and I was utterly enchanted by her excellent writing style, interesting characters, original plotline, and fast paced action. This is one Regency romance where the author does not feel compelled to repeat the same agonizing thoughts in fifty different ways, but actually moves the plot with new thoughts and new actions. I found it hard to stop reading, and it is a short quick read. I hope her other books are as wonderful as this one.
Cherlynn was just a modern woman of the 20th century. A writer of Regency stories, she gains the chance for the best research of her life when she is transported back in time. To get back to her day, she must help Lady Emily to right the wrongs against her and Drew. To keep neutral feelings about Drew is difficult, especially when her treacherous heart seems to reach out to him. Another outstanding book by Allison Lane. Once again she has broken all the rules and turned out an awesome book.

To keep neutral feelings about Drew is difficult, especially when her treacherous heart seems to reach out to him. Another outstanding book by Allison Lane. Once again she has broken all the rules and turned out an awesome book.
First of all the heroine name is Cherlynn not Candace(what book were you people reading)? This is a story about a woman who has had alot of bad breaks, is Not beautiful nor is she very successful at her chosen profession. Who has the opportunity,at first against her will, to make right a great wrong by going back in time. While it's a shame that she wasn't accepted for how she looked or what she was in the present she has a second chance to take the "essence" of what she is and repackage it in a more desirable form. I LOVED her intellegence and the way she was able to show it off and correct all the things that went wrong. Ah, if it were only that easy. For all those who had trouble believing the evil woman of the piece, where is equality here. Woman can be just as evil as men and sometimes, unfortunately, do it better. And excuse me but this is a time travel book so what's the difference. Besides it only made the punishment all the more satisfactory. I also like the way the author wrote the last chapter to mirror the first only with a twist. It was very clever. And if I'm a little unhappy that there wasn't a little more "romance", I guess you can't have everything. Besides I have a good imagination so I can fill in the blanks. All in all I think the heroine came out looking better than the hero, but then it was her story anyway. And in the end they each got what they needed most, love and acceptance.
I was shocked to see that some people (especially the person who wrote the rewiew from May 1st, 2000) wrote such devastating reviews on one of the best romance books I have ever read. In "The second lady Emily", a modern day woman experiences a ghostly attack that transports her back to the beginning of the 19th century where she gets the chance to prevent a curse that effects her future life. She finds herself in the body of the young lady Emily who suffered a mysterious, almost fatal accident and has been involved in a star-crossed love with the hero that is bound to marry someone else. While trying to set right history, the heroine falls in love with the hero herself and he is enchanted by the new Emily. Both of them (and also the other characters) are brought to life by Mrs Lane's superb way of writing and their feelings are described very touchingly. The love between them seems to be very real - not an instant love based on faces and bodies solely but a growing love based on the personalities of the hero and the heroine. This is why I think of this book as a very successful romance. Additionally, the plot of the book is absolutely thrilling (I don't want to give away any more here). Of course, people who want to read something realistic should not buy a trime travel romance. One off the other reviewers complained that the villain in this book is too evil to be realistic. Of course that is so, but what else would be potent enough to trigger curses and dinive interaction? One suggestion to the critics: Just enjoy the story and don't think too much about missing realism or missing historical details. I enjoyed reading this book so much that I read it again immediately after I finished it the first time. Altogether, I cannot count the times anymore I have reread this book since I bought it two years ago. If you like a sweet romance with a touch of mystic and mystery in it, this will be the right book for you.
While visiting an historic mansion, a beautiful woman is rendered unconscious, only to awaken as a famous lady of English aristocracy in 1812, who had died suddenly, never wedding her intended. Posing as the Regency lady, she is determined to give this couple a second chance at marital union, and end the curse that brought tragedy to them for generations.
Allison Lane is a winner ofRomantic TimesReviewer's Choice Award for Best First Regency Allison Lane is the beloved author ofThe Prodigal Daughter, The Earl's Revenge, The Impoverished Viscount, andThe Rake's Rainbow

(Time travel treat for the Fall)
Courtesy of CK2S Kwips and Kritiques

The Colors of Autumn by Carol Finch
Julia Harper is a very modern woman. She is in Bugtussle, Texas painting a mural for the annual fall festival. For kicks, she decides to paint herself into the mural, and finds herself catapulted back in time to 1880 Bugtussle... and the life of Win Calloway. Win is the man her very heart desires, but can she overcome her hears from her modern life to stay with him forever?

This was a cute story with a unique method of time travel being used. The attraction between Win and Julia is immediate, much to the dismay of Trudy Fletcher, the token "spoiled rich girl" character, who wants Win for herself. Julia's performances as the actress everyone mistook her for, are exciting, turning the town on its ear, and adding some truly lively moments to the story.

Autumn Lover by Kathryn Fox
Leigh Hunter has a high profile career in television production. Suddenly one day it hits her that she takes no joy in life anymore. She purchases a holiday pumpkin and when she holds it, she finds herself transported back to 1899 and in to the life of Matthew Sutton. Leigh is in the body of Matthew's mail-order bride and falling in love with her new husband. Can she remain happy in the past?

This was a good story, in spite of the rather lame method of time travel method used. However, Ms. Fox took a tried and true plot and made it her own. Leigh's doubts and fears are portrayed vividly, as is the love Matthew has for his bride. One will fall in love with Matthew and hope for the happy ending he deserves.

An Autumn Bouquet by Linda Madl
Jennifer Hollis is the public relations manager for the historic Apple Grove House and is there for her wedding, hoping the publicity will help prevent it from being destroyed for a theme park. Her fiancé has left her at the altar however and as she tries to figure out what to do, she is sent back in time at the flash of a camera. Now she finds herself in 1861 and saying her vows to Union officer Captain Bennett Vance. Jen can't help but fall in love with the dashing soldier, but can't stop the guilt she feels over abandoning Apple Grove House when it needed her in the future. Now to decide, should she stay or should she return home? And, whatever will she do about Bennett?

This was probably the favorite story of this reviewer, in this book. It was a lovely story, even in spite of the sometimes violent background of the Civil War. There is plenty of passion between the characters, and Jen's dilemma just adds to it. But this is one story that reminds the reader that fate often finds a way all of its own, to make a person's dreams come true.

All in all, this was a delightful volume of stories which take place during one of the best times of the year... the chill air and beautiful scents and sounds of yet another Timeless Autumn. It is definitely a worthy read, which will help to keep one warm at night during this delightful time of year where summer and winter meet and clash.

(A great story, so why three stars?)

(Time&Again)

(A perfect blend)

(Better Than Lake House)

(Best Time Travel Tale EVER!)
I want to start with the positive: the author tells a ripping tale: sweet, sad, and touching. What will happen next? Also, it is fun to see the other side of the Civil War. It is true: The Winner Writes the Histories.

The writing, sadly, is clumsy and stilted beyond the neccessity for 19th century formality and floweriness. . Characters repeat the same idea again and again in a passage. Personalities and intelligence levels shift abruptly. All too often someone fails to ask an important question or see the obvious. Unlikely conclusions are drawn; logical holes gape. It can provoke eye-rolling in the poor listener. I would have been skimming like crazy had this been a printed book

And yet still recommended if you aren't touchy about writing style and like a good story... I mean, look at all those five-star reviews. I am just warning the cranky minority.

Time travel stories are a dime a dozen. But the challenge of a time travel story is to give you a reason to suspend your disbelief and to go back in time with the characters. Dr. Wasserman's does that, my only wish is that we had spent more time in the past -- even with all the consequences that happened to the poor man who went back in time only to return to an alien world -- I would like to have seen more. For now, I can only hope there is a follow-up to this tale.
This book is amazing. It has the perfect blend of science fiction, history and the right blend of madness. It solves the problem of paradox that all time travel books encounter and yet it is not like an asimov Sci-Fi (too much science not enough charecter) and the historical fiction is worthy of anything Turtledove has done. I give a great "Huzzah" to this new writer I can't wait for his next book
I found "Dr. Wasserman's Time Chamber" to be one of the most unique stories I have ever read. Unlike the recent movie hit, "The Lake House," it is not necessary to suspend belief at any time. From the first page this are very logical and the story takes off running. In fact- from the dedication and the acknowledgements on, you aren't sure if you are reading fact or fiction. But the writer doesn't fall into the trap so many others do and that is: Make it like a "Star Trek" episode and be so complicated that you are unable to follow the storyline.
In the prologue you start off in the year 2011 and meet a mystery woman. Little is told of her, other than she has been on a 20+ year odyssey. This isn't a "spoiler" but don't forget about her. She will be back and you will be glad of it.
Chapter One is set in the year 1992 and you are introduced to a Dr. Carl Miller and a Dan Grossman. Miller is an acknowledged schizophrenic who is trying to sell a manuscript called Preventing Armageddon, which is reported to be a true life story. Miller claims he used a time machine to go back to the year of 1863, and changed history. He says that in reality the South won the Civil War and it was he who caused the North to come out victorious. Grossman buys the manuscript and what he reads takes up the majority of the book.
The characters come alive to the point they almost jump off the page. The heroine of the story, an Abbey Washington, is not only unforgettable but she is also a person I would like to meet. Beautiful, headstrong, intelligent, moralistic, she is also a very human woman like few others I have ever met in fact or fiction. Dr. Miller reminds me of Job from the Bible. He appears to be God's instrument in pulling mankind back from the abyss, but the trials he must go through would seem to be more than any mortal can overcome. Their love story is one I will never forget.
The historical aspect of the book is verey enlightening and you feel as though you are living through the dark days of 1863. In fact, I wish more time would have been spent on life during that period but I guess it would have slowed the story down.
If you are to read just one "Time Travel" book this year, it should be Dr, Wasserman. It will be well worth the time spent.

As someone who considers themselves an aficionado of this genre, I would have to rate, "Dr Wasserman's Time Chamber" up there with "Somewhere in Time" and Jack Finney's "Time and Again." All three of these stories pertain to time travel with a beautiful love story interwoven.

I found "Wasserman" to be a real page turner! From the very first page to the climactic ending, it grabbed my interest and held it. You are told from the sub title, "Preventing Armageddon" that the hero will be successful in changing history but at no time can you see how he will accomplish this Herculean effort. Accomplish it-he does, but at a price no man should ever have to pay.

I became involved with the characters in the story to such an extent that I lived and died with them, especially the hero and the heroine. The story is very moralistic and he seems to get run over simply because he is human, while she is one of the most unforgettable female figures I have ever met via the written word.

I do not know if the title, "Dr Wasserman's time Chamber: Preventing Armageddon" indicated that this is but one in a series, but if that's true I look forward tomore in the future. I can't recallwhen I enjoyed a book more and strongly recommed it!

(A fun, fast-paced romp)
Graham Lawson, LAPD weapons expert, is a modern day knight in shining armor. In the middle of investigating a case involving strange sexual practices, he's sent to an exhibit called "sex in the Middle Ages." When he falls through a painting, he discovers a strange tie to his case, and a medevil lass who is ready to steal his heart.

Graham is the kind of man who feels at home in any time. This all-around good guy is strong and stalwart and true. Oh, and did I mention hotter than an August summer day? A picture is worth a thousand words, or so they say, but looking at the cover (okay so I have a thing for strong men with big swords, blame it on Aragorn), I could wax poetic for far more than a thousand words about this hero.

No shrinking Violet, Linnet is a strong woman more than ready to stand up to those who wish to do her harm, and take exactly what she wants. Luckily for the reader, Graham is firmly on her radar. She wastes no time. The dialogue sparkles and the action keeps the reader turning pages as fast as she can read. A gem of a book, there's nothing hidden about my enjoyment of this novel. A very good read.

(Loved this book, but...)

(Could have been SO MUCH better)

(THE TITLE SAYS IT ALL!)

(Good Choice!)

(Just in time)
I read this book a long time ago, and it stayed with me. Many years later, I wanted to read it again. Forgot the title of the book but with the help of readers and after a long search, I finally got it.

Onto the book.
I remember why I liked it so much, the first half was fantastic. It's time travel, which I like and rather well done too.This time the heroine drinks a potion that takes her into the future.

I really like Josh and Beverly and the chemistry between them was wonderful. His emotions and feelings for her are so honest. He's a constuction worker/bouncer at a night club when he meets Beverly, who literally pops up right in front of him and then disappers. Only to later reappear right in front of him again, on a sky high construction building he happens to be working at and nearly giving him a heart attack.
Belligerent as he is with the heroine, I like how he comes to her rescue, especially when he thinks she's cuckoo, talking about timetravel and saying she must save him.
Josh is the first half is dark, bitter and brooding and absolutely wonderful. And Beverly is a good counterpart to him.

The second part of the book is where the charcterization of H/H stumbles. Okay, the heroine saves who she's suppose to, and that this changes history, in Josh's case. From poor to wealthy, he's gone from alpha to... so not alpha. I thought the author should have allowed glimpses of the strong character the old Josh had to show through occasionally.
And the heroine became this feeble-minded person. I understand she was at a loss as to what she must do, since it seems this Josh doesn't remember her. But still, where's the back-bone she showed in the first half?
For me that was poorly done, hence the loss of a star.

Still, I love the book and enjoyed every bit of it.



3 1/2 stars, actually.
I ordered this book based on a reader's suggestion and the synopsis, having never read this author before. I had very high expectations and was let down some. I liked the storyline and I liked the secondary characters and their roles in the story. It was a unique plot that I thought could have been made into a really great book. Maybe if it had been longer or the whole part before Beverly is sent to the future shortened to allow for more h/h interaction it would have been better.

The h/h did not have a well fleshed out, developed relationship or enough interaction, and therefore, I as the reader, did not feel them falling in love. Instead of experiencing with them their tour of New York City and feeling their emotions building, we get a short narrative telling them what they did. Given this was an important part of the story that was supposed to show their developing feelings for each other and then the significance of that tour the second time around, I found the whole scenes insignificant.

The h/h fell in love too suddenly, especially when Josh had just gone to his previous lover looking to use her to get Beverly out of his mind. And Beverly was barely upset by it. Beverly, IMO, was too practical and emotionless. The wonderful plot would have had a much stronger emotional wallop if she had had stronger (or any) reactions to the adversities she faced. She was barely upset when she was sent back. She was not upset to have to say good-bye to her family and friends for good. She should have been scared witless to learn she was alone in the future and she should have been devastated to learn Josh not only didn't remember her, but was engaged to another. What the reader got was maybe a tear or two and the narrative telling us Beverly was panicked briefly.

All in all, I liked the book, but it could have been a GREAT book with more emotions and development of the main characters.

If you are a time-travel fan, then this is the book for you. It is not so far-fetched that after awhile you almost believe it could really happen. Josh (the hunky, biker/construction worker hero) rescues our 50's era heroine who has mysteriously appeared in front of him on a steel beam in the middle of a construction project 50 stories up! He takes her home with him to his run-down tenement apartment, where things heat up from there. Suffice it to say, that because of their changing history, Josh's life goes from poor orphan to a wealthy family who adores him. Beverly, who has discovered a lump that her doctor says is nothing finds 20th century medicine saves her life. And because she has seen the future, Beverly has an inkling of what will be valuable and can "invest" wisely in their future.
I loved this book! I normally don't read time travel books, but I have to say that this book changed my mind. I had a good laugh and have read it at least 3 times!
I thought the book was very good. Not very many time travel books go to the present. There was sexual tension but it wasn't the main focuse. One thing I would change is at the end, exploring there new relationship a little more becuse the book ended after there first kiss.
After visiting a gypsy fortuneteller who predicts she will save someone's life far in the future, young widow Beverly Newcastle finds herself transported from the fifties to the nineties, where she meets a dashing young motorcyclist.

(have I read this before?)

(Don't waste your money.)
I think this must be a reprint? Since I like Civil War of the Americas stories, I bought this one thinking it was new. Believe I read this long long time ago. So you might want to check your keeper shelves before buying.

Jason Tarkenton is a Confederate, caught in the hell of battle. The air is so thick with gunfire that he cannot find his unit. It gets thicker and thicker, until he makes a wrong turn, a la Twilight Zone and steps into modern day and right into the middle of a Civil War reenactment.

Vickie Knox was no Scarlett O'Hara, but a Yankee lady, and her dress reflects that. So when the handsome, sexy Confederate comes riding out of the mist, she thinks he is just another reinactor. Only this Johnny Reb is playing for real. He takes her captive making her think this man has taken his role a bit too much to heart, until he gradually makes her understand he is from the past.

Excellent Time-Travel skillfully done.

This story was totally unbelievable and I don't mean the time travel. I found it pretty far-fetched for someone to have sex with their kidnapper the first night. The author should have invested her time to make the book longer in order to develop their relationship. This one won't even make it to the garage sell, it's going straight to the can!

(Difficult to follow)
I was really excited in the first few pages of this book. It starts out with the hero trying to save the heroine. Nothing quite like an opening like that to make you want to stay with the reading.

But just as suddenly as the opening grabs you, I found that I didn't understand what was happening as Alrick lay covered in ashes while Carly Roberts ran to call 911. It took nearly five more pages before I realized this was a fantasy/contemporary crossover, and while I've read many of those, none of those left me as puzzled or as unhappy as this one had. In fact, I had trouble getting through the entire book, confused by the characters' intents and stories.

Carly Roberts is a widow, trying to make her ranch survive when Pirnce Alrick of Rune, a Fae, comes to save her. And that's all about I can surmise from my reading. There is some attraction on both parts, it is very difficult to ignore both character's physical attributes.

I don't know if I'll pick this book up to try it again, but it had so much promise to begin with. This book is a part of a series, but I am not sure if the characters are referenced in the other books.

(interesting read)

(Well worth reading)

(Interesting and Exciting)

(boring and confusing)
I enjoyed this book. I look foward to reading more of J.A. Ferguson's books
I've been on a Scottish "kick" recently. As well as a fantasy binge. This book combined time travel, Scotland, and witchery. I was sold on it immediately, and still happy as I finished it. Great relationship. Fabulous hero. Great clash between the present and the past.
Jo Ferguson's Timeless Shadows was interesting and kept me reading all night. The convoluted plot twists kept me on my toes. Sensuous and entertaining, the stormy relationship between the virile 17th century Laird MacLachlan and his confused timeswept lady, is captivating and titillating. I especially enjoyed the touches of witchcraft and enchantment that are woven throughout the novel. The author's knowledge of 17th century Scotland is extensive, and knitted into the book in a natural and skillful manner. Any intelligent romance reader will take pleasure in this magical story of timeless love.
This book was a real snooze. The time travel element was not realistic. I've read better by JoAnn Ferguson, but I don't think I'll be reading anything else again.
Colin MacLachlan has vowed to repay those who killed his family in the Scottish Highlands. He allies himself with the Campbells during the English Civil War, and his prize for bravery is Castle Braeburn. It is everything he wished for and believed it would be...except for an outrageous woman who claims to be the last laird’s daughter—and the rightful owner of the castle.

Ashley Babcock is haunted by bad dreams that take place at Castle Braeburn which is strange since she’s an American and never been to Scotland. When she visits Scotland to try to put her nightmares to rest, she’s thrown back in time to the 17th century and has taken the place of the last laird’s daughter. Soon she must question whether she’s been thrown back in time or drawn back by a witchto confront the castle’s greatest enemy.

That greatest enemy might be Colin or her heart which urges her to believe the desire in his eyes and in his kisses. Does she dare risk falling in love with a man who is just a shadow of a time long past?
