Rating:  Summary: One of the best.... Review: I did not like this book at all, and I certainly tried to! An avid Kleypas fan, I was eagerly anticipating this novel, but found it hard to wade through, follow, and got completely confused during the flashback section. While Emma and Nikki are entertaining as the central characters, their relationship and dialogue was not enough to make this a positive experience for me. This novel certainly follows a different formula from Kleypas's other books and I would only recommend it to her devoted fans.

Rating:  Summary: TAKE A PASS ON THIS ONE Review: I disliked both characters and hated the story line. Why did he have to travel into the past to learn about love from a relative? Too much mumble jumble cluttering up the romance. Try her other book "Someone To Watch over me."
Rating:  Summary: Not that bad Review: I don't really understand why this book was so poorly rated, but it wasn't really that bad. The only thing which I intensively disliked was the character Nicholas...in the beginning, where he did some very, ahem, un-herolike things. I found myself skimming over those parts in order to get to the end which truly had a HEA and I wound up enjoying both characters. The whole flashback, reincarnation thing could have been cut back on sharply because the way it stands it's like a small novella. If you have nothing else on your TBR pile, find this book, and give it a try. Kleypas at her worst (and this is not her worst) is ten times better than a lot of authors at their best anyways. And like I said, you'll love the ending. I just wish she could have extended the end a little bit and shown more of how tender Nicholas could be.
Rating:  Summary: One of the worst Lisa Kleypas... Review: I just didn't enjoy this book. Emma seemed spoiled and childish and Nickolas was your typical wounded mysterious alpha male and they didn't seem well suited at all, other than both wanting their own way. There really wasn't any character developement for either of them and it just became a painful, irritating read for me.
Rating:  Summary: Prince of Dreams Review: I know that people read this genre for different reasons. One reason I read it is because it is light reading. But I can't seem to struggle through the stories that are extremely trivial. Like the those who have miscommunication as the main complication. I like real problems! Prince of Dreams is one with viable problems. And the hero doesn't simply, magically overcome everything because he has met the right woman. Nikolas has some serious issues. And I like that he is typically male. I want the men to act like men. Nikolas wants Emma regardless of his problems. He thinks he can have her and make her happy without facing his own problems and he thinks she should stay out of it. Isn't that male of him? What is great about this book is that it strikes emotions in you. When he comes home and smells like another woman and the fact that there isn't the slightest bit of remorse in him, I couldn't help but think Emma is more of a woman than I am. I also like the fact that Emma displays the predisposed attributes from her character in Midnight Angel. She was a spoiled brat in that one and she stays true to form in this one. Until she actually begins to grow up, she portrays the typical only child image. I think it could only have been Nikolas' self-indulgent character to force her to grow up. The out-of-time sequences were odd. But didn't detract at all from the story. It was a great!

Rating:  Summary: Another great book by this Author Review: I was desparate for something to read on a trip and picked this up. I was under the impression that this was a time travel book and was not very excited about reading it. But I was pleasantly surprised. I really enjoyed this. Lisa Kleypas is one of my favorite authors. While this was a good book, my favorit book by her is still "Dreaming of You".

Rating:  Summary: Disappointed Review: I was disappointed with this book. I couldn't stop thinking that the hero was involved in an incestuous relationship with his ancestor. I am also not a big time travel romance reader.
