Summary: He stole her love before she was even born.
Review: Jamie calls to Elizabeth through the fabric of centuries. She falls asleep in a New York City park and awakens in thirteen century Scotland. He thinks she's the most beautiful witch he's ever seen. She thinks her dream man is a nightmare in the flesh. And yet they can't quite let each other go. She wants to go home, but wants Jamie. He wants the peace and quiet of his keep restored, but wants Elizabeth. Then there are the murdering distant cousin, the treachery of a nearby clan, a girl who desperately wants a mother, a strong young man taking after his father in protecting those he loves, and a herd of protective brothers. This book is difficult to put down. It's heart-rending and funny all at once. And when Jamie comes to the future -- wow! This one's a keeper.

Summary: Good, but lacking precision in details
Review: First thing off. I am not American. Perhaps an American would understand these things better, it could be a cultural thing.But why wasn't Elizabeth hung as a witch? First of all, she's definately not Scottish but speaks English. She talks strange, has strange ideas and wears strange clothes. NB. Witches were hung, not burnt. It was heretics that were burnt. So why there was all this witch burning going on which is historically incorrect, I don't know. Anything that was done of this nature was done with the aid of the present Christian church, but all the clergy that are present in the book, are way too soft for those times, and not present at these occasions. And if Jaime didn't allow his men to rape women, why were there two attempts at Elizabeth? I agree with the other viewer on this, why did she forgive the would-be rapist and then allow him to be bodyguard? Why did Elizabeth feel the need to buy everybody else gifts with money she knew that Jaime couldn't really spare? Who convinved Jaime to buy a Jaguar? He wouldn't know what it was, and doesn't really need it out in the stix. What a total waste of money! Then, there was a strange explanation that Jaime had to leave his present because Elizabeth had read that he had died. The future hadn't happened yet, so there was no reason for them not to stay and create a new history for them both. If Jaime and Elizabeth kept time hopping in Scotland's history, how did the McLeoud hall fall into Fergussons hands? If they time hop backwards, in the future, is it possible that they will undo what they have done with their new hall? WHY does the whole family have to get involved in the end? I have read this in other romance novels and so assume it to be a strange Americanism. If you asked any of my family if they wanted to go back in time where there were no antibiotics, to fight a battle where its quite likely they will die or suffer some sort of horrible trauma, they will quite vociferously tell you where to go. Families are all well and good for dinner invitations and phone conversations, but not for becoming central characters, and certainly not so in romance novels. Family have a terrible tendency for killing romance. The family thing was really annoying.

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: Great Story!
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!

Summary: A sweet story...
Review: Elizabeth Smith got her happiness from the world of fiction. Writing romances, Elizabeth enjoys her life. When she first dreams of a fierce Scotland warrior, she is convinced she needs a vacation. In an attempt to clear her head, she takes a walk to a park nearby her house...and wakes up in fourteenth century Scotland. Realizing that she is stuck in 1311, Elizabeth tries to make the best of her situation, and soon finds herself falling in love with the Laird of the clain McLeod. Jamie McLeod follwed his father's tradition in not allowing women in his keep. That changes when Elizabeth is found in the forest surrounding the keep. Believing her as a witch, Jamie banishes her to the dungeon and makes plans to burn her at the stake. Too late he looks through Elizabeth's things and realizes that she is from another time and not the witch he has dubbed her. The days that follow will bring a smile to the readers face. Jamie is endearingly sweet and at the same time fiercly masculine. Elizabeth was not put off by Jamie's gruff manner which will endear her to the reader. I have read other reviews about not liking that Jamie returned to Elizabeth's time, but Kurland brings the story about in a way that to not return to the twentieth century would unravel the threads of time and change the future. I immensely enjoyed this book!
