Summary: Great story.
Review: Ms. Kurland does a wonderful job with this enchanting historical/time travel romance. I have read many of her books -- including the short story that is a continuation of Ian's character established in this book (published in Veils of Time.) Readers of Gabaldon books will enjoy the time travel elements that are similar. Something that is refreshing in Kurland's writing style is her very New York City/1990s woman's voice. The humor is slightly offbeat -- but quite a bit of fun. You will find that Elizabeth is like many strong, single women that you know -- or are.

Summary: Excellent book...a must read!
Review: Ok, so not EVERYONE will like it, but those of us who wish to escape from our everyday, humdrum lives appreciate the humor and fantasy that Lynn Kurland puts into her books. I've read several reviews of Kurland's books and find that the majority of people feel like I do. I even read one review that more or less blasted Kurland for her books being so unreal...COME ON PEOPLE! If you would just read the synopsis on the back of the book, you would realize that they are supposed to be fantasy...not based on true stories. This is fiction at it's best. When you can take historical facts such as the way people conducted themselves and lived their lives in those days, and combine it with a fictional romance and magical time travel, well it's enough to make someone like me wish that it WERE based entirely on fact. THAT, my fellow readers, is what makes a book worth reading. Ms. Kurland...thanks for you wonderful imagination. It brightens my days.

Summary: A well written time travel full of fun and adventure. Sweet.
Review: Scotland, 1311. James MacLeod was the most respected, and feared, laird in all of Scotland. He allowed no women to cross the threshold of his keep.New York City, 1996. Elizabeth Smith longed for the man of her dreams. She could even hear his voice calling her when she was awake. She went for a walk to clear her mind and dozen off on a bench in a park, when she woke up she was in a forest surrounding the castle of James MacLeod, an arrogant and handsome lord with a very familiar voice. James resisted her as much as he could, but Elizabeth went straight to his heart just as easily as she took over his keep. Soon he discovered feelings he didn't know he had, and found himself doing things he never thought he would do for a woman.

Summary: A Must Read
Review: This was the first full-length book of Ms. Kurland's that I read. I had read a short story in Viels of Time about Ian McLeod and loved it so went looking for this one. This story is about Laird James McLeod and the lady he falls in love with from the future, Elizabeth Smith. The story is both sexy and heart-warming. I loved the characters SO much! Another fabulous thing is that the stories continued in "The Very Thought of You" about Elizabeth's brother Alex and in "A Garden in the Rain" about James' brother Patrick. I would recommend that you read them all! They are not only sexy but fun and sassy!

Summary: This book is every bit a keeper!
Review: I read many more books than I could ever possibly keep. I have owned this since it was first published and never tire of reading it over and over again. The characters are subtly complex and charming, the writing very amusing, and the story heart warming. Every aspect of time travel and it's consequences are explored and explained to a very satisfying conclusion.
As noted in other reviews, this is the start to a series of Lynn Kurland books. All of which can trace their charm back to this fantastic begining.
For those who are looking for much more than the usual ordinary read, I highly recommend "A Dance through Time". It's a book you won't want to ever let go of!

Summary: Great Story!
Review: A Dance Through Time is just the 2nd of Lynn Kurland's books that I've read - and now reread 3 times! This is one of those stories that you wish would never end. Plenty of action as well as a sweet love story. I would definitely recommend this book.

Summary: My *F*A*V*O*R*I*T*E* Kurland novel!
Review: I compare every Kurland book I read to this one, the original, so I figured I ought to finally review it. <grin> I love this story ~ I still tear up when I'm re-reading it! Time travel is always a little unbelievable, but Kurland's imagination is fertile and she comes up with a beautiful love story between a medieval Scottish laird and the 20th-century writer that finds herself in the midst of his barbaric world. I love the fact that she's more PG-13 in her books than XXX and yet there is still a full gamut of human emotion captured ~ humor, fear, anger, jealousy, joy, compassion. Some have compared this story to Diane Gabaldon's masterpieces. While there are similarities, the books excel on two different planes. Don't expect the depth and breadth of Outlander, but read this one for what it is: a heart-warming, imaginative love story that will lead you on to a whole collection of Kurland-greats.

Summary: A good escape
Review: I was suprised by how many reviewers compared this book negatively to Diana Gabaldon's stuff. I liked Dance Through Time so much better! Lynn Kurland's books are funny and enjoyable. This one was no exception. Jamie was a good hero. He was sufficiently arrogant at first and nicely mellowed at the end. Elizabeth was adventurous, yet not too feisty to be interesting. If you like time travel, you will like this.

Summary: Love time travel
Review: I just love a good time travel novel, especially when romance is mixed into the adventure. I'd put this one up there with "Twilight", by Nicholas Stember.

Summary: A Terrific Author and A Terrific Book
Review: Sometimes it is better to read a book and let the story settle before writing a review. This was my first Kurland book and I was bothered by the first part which has a repetitive style. The last part of the book was terrific. But, the more I thought about the story, and read subsesequnt books by this author which reintroduced many of the characters and updated their stories, the fonder I became of this one. Her characters are so likable and her stories so inventive, that one cannot help but admire this author and this book. But, if you read this book, do read the others as they are even better!
