Why a four-star book and a wall-banger?Hmm...could it be the ending?The book was great up until the last part where....Spoilers............................................The hero and heroine do not get together! She travels back to her time while he spends the rest of his life alone! She meets the hero's "soul in another body" on the plane home after she is sent to the present. Supposedly, the hero's soul found hers. Baloney! Sorry, you cannot substitute another person for the actual hero! SuchThis is the very first romance book, which made me smile, laugh and cry. Read it three times and decided that I had to have it for myself. So now, it is sitting very nicely in my book cabinet, beckoning me to read it again for I-don't-know-how-many times. I must say, this is best book of all by Jude Deveraux. About time-travel romance, finding and recognizing true love even if its separated by decades of time. So, you will get to read about Nicholas realising his true love in Douglass's modern
The most frustrating heroine Ive ever had the displeasure of coming across for a while now.Her character was too niave and frustrating for most of the book to actually feel any pity for her.Two star for the orginality of the story-line.Even Though that too it was a bit of a drag at times. :/
I keep wavering between a 4 and a 5 for this book. I literally couldn't put this book down. When I was unable to read the book, I found myself thinking about what happened in the book only because I was going through withdrawal! This love story was such a sweet one and funny at times. I rarely find myself laughing out loud while reading a book. Not in this case. Some of the funniest scenes were when the heroine goes back in time. She has to entertain Nicholas' mother and she does so by singing
As with most things spawned in the 80s, this book/story did not age well. Secondly, Dougless, our heroine, was a waste of space.
This is my all time favorite romance novel, which I've read more than once (the last time being this past weekend). Nicholas is a real live Knight in Shining Armor sent to comfort a heartbroken Douglass in 1988. Destined to be soul mates through all eternity, the two set out to clear Lord Nicholas' name and right the wrongs done during his Elizabethan life. Just as he gets used to the weird inventions and strangness of the twentieth century, they are whisked back through time to 1560 where
This is one of my all time favorites, no matter what genre of romance. It has elements of historical, contemporary, time travel. And the love story is romantic and heart breaking. If you've never read it do so, if you read it years ago read it again. A true classic.
