Summary: A Dream Across Time
Review: A "well plotted mystery" does sum up the book correctly.
A good read!
It is obvious that the authors have a first hand knowledge of "island" life as they took romantic tryst "off island".
Looking forward to continuation of this family saga - how soon?

Summary: Caribbean Mystique Aplenty
Review: I am not ordinarily a reader of 'romantic mysteries'; however,I do like mysteries, and I'm under the tropical spell of St. Lucia. This is a very good read, with an intriguing plot, and interesting characters. But the Island itself and its colonial, Afro-Caribbean heritage, are the main focus here. Believe me, everyone in St. Lucia ends up talking to the birds. Read it. You won't want to put it down.

Summary: did not want it to end
Review: Jamie Elliott arrives on St. Lucia, an island in the Caribbean, with her husband, Paul, who has taken a job there. Adjusting to island life is not hard for Jamie, in fact, she feels connected to the island and fits right in. Becoming fast friends with Paul's co-worker's wife, she explores the culture with Barbara, and finds a confidant in her. One she will need to help her cope with what lies in store for her.

Jamie deals with her cheating and violent husband, the death of her mother and dreams that keep her from peaceful sleep. Her haunting dreams are much like ones she had as a child. But now they may be the key to a 200-year-old secret, as are the child's cross necklace and a Psalter that her mother left for her. Meeting Andre Demontagne also haunts her mind. Andre is the heir of a powerful island family, but more than that, he seems somehow familiar to Jamie. Perhaps they have met somewhere, some lifetime, before.

This intricately plotted story is romantic, mysterious and entrancing. Island traditions and life add colorful aspects to the tale. Synchronistic events with soul mate and kindred spirit connotations create an air of mysticism and wonder that will not soon be forgotten. I loved reading this book and did not want it to end. Thankfully, the authors, Mala and Roger Burt, writing under the pen name Annie Rogers, are working on their second novel, which will be a continuation of the book's family saga. I eagerly anticipate their work. This book is highly recommended to anyone with a hint of romance in their blood and those who believe that fate has a hand in our lives.

Summary: It was like a mini-vacation!
Review: Reading this book was like taking a mini-vacation. The authors captured the sights and sounds of this magical Caribbean island so well that I felt as though I had been transported through time AND space. The plot moves right along, but keeps you guessing until the final moment. Add some well-written dialogue, a mix of interesting (and believable) characters, and you have a "can't-put-it-down-'til-I'm-done" treat. I look forward to reading more of their work!

Summary: Just when I needed a vacation...
Review: This book held me from the first chapter. I have read many books in my day, and this book has to rate as one of my favorites. The plot kept me reading from the first page. I felt like I was in the Carribean with Jamie, feeling her pain and her joys. I can hardly wait to plan a vacation to St. Lucia to see this beautiful island. I feel as though I have already been there.

Summary: Magical, Mystery Tour in St Lucia
Review: You can smell the Caribbean with this book as it explores Jamie's venture into life under the St Lucian sun. A great read with real people in an unreal world...have to stay up all night to finish it...and then book your flight to this wondrous sounding island. Can't wait for the next Annie Rogers tale.
