Summary: A Love Story It Is Not
Review: From reading the reviews and the synopsis I was expecting a really great love story. Instead what I got was a history lesson. If I want to read history, I get a history book and not a historical romance. The story was convoluted, disjointed and just plain boring. I was VERY disapointed.

Summary: It SOUNDS good, doesn't it?
Review: Don't let the description or reviews of this book fool you. I enjoy historical romances and some fluffy fiction every now and then and this book sounded like it would be engrossing and fun. I was wrong. This book is ridiculous - full of one dimensional characters, dumb one-liners and cliche bodice ripping. Good for a laugh, I guess, but I was very disappointed.

Summary: One of the Best!
Review: Wow, this is one of the best books I have read by Johanna Lindsey. She has many great books, but this is by far, one of my favorites. I love how Rosaleen, the kind of nerdy, Professer happens to find herself involved with a hunk of Medievil past named Thorn. I am not a fan of time travel (except with A Knight in Shining Armor) but this novel does it excellently. Going back and forth through time, with Rosaleen and Thorn falling for each other is precious. The way the outcome of the future is affected by the role they play in the past is hilarious. The ending is to die for, I recommend this book to all the romantics out there!

Summary: A Try at Something New
Review: Ms. Lindsey has written a decent book here, but I don't think she should have tried to do a supernatural time-travel novel. I think the characters were well rounded, but there was no villan. Every book needs a good villan to hate.

Summary: One of Lindsay's Greatest!
Review: Though I think that the quality of Johanna Lindsays books has declined for the last few years (she's often repeating herself!) "Until Forever" has become one of my absolute fovorites! This is one of the very few books that you can start dreaming by reading it.

Summary: Wonderful!
Review: I am a history major and my field of study is medeival history, just like Roseleen's. This was a wonderful book and appealed to me because I have often wondered what it would be like to go back in time to meet William the Conqueror. The book has everything, a handsome hero, a beautiful heroine, and a wonderful story. I definetly recommend this one if you are a fan of Johanna Lindsey!

Summary: Wonderfully written, across-time romance!
Review: This was my first Johanna Lindsey novel and I'm hooked. As both a history buff/major and amateur writer, I feel the book was filled with an intricate plot that played out wonderfully, beautiful characters you get to love, creative use of history, and an ending for all the romantic dreamers in the world that's to die for. I admit the thought of time travel and the paradox that occurs in the novel are interesting, but the dreamer and historian in me fell in love with the cursed Viking I wanted for myself and the professor I wished I was. I recommend this book for anyone who loves action, myth, history, and of course good old fashion romance.

Summary: GREAT BOOK MUST READ
Review: I HAVE READ AND ENJOYED MANY OF HER BOOKS, THIS ALLOWS YOU TO FANTASIZE MORE THAN MOST. SET IN PRESENT TIME, BUT JUMPING BACK IN TIME GIVES YOU MORE ROOM TO GET INTO THE CHARACTER OF ROSALEEN.
Rating:
Summary: Could've been better
Review: This one disappointed me, mainly because it had all the elements of a potentially great book: time travel, Viking hunks, etc. But Thorn and Roseleen had no chemistry, and why doesn't JL make her guys just a bit...meaner? At least in the beginning? Meeting William the Conqueror was cool, though.
Rating: 
Summary: Romance with plot
Review: I admit, I'm a big fan of Johanna Lindsey, and have read about 90% of her books. But this one is one of my favorites -- something I can recommend to my friends who claim romance novels have no plots. There's an intricate plot, with history, and fun, and fighting, and of course, romance.I'd recommend it to men who can't stand romance . . . they could probably "wade through the mushy stuff" to get to the fighting, and maybe realize the mushy stuff isn't so bad. And I loved the ending. It gives you a choice of how much you want to believe or disbelieve. And a hope for the future either way. Absolutely wonderful.
