Rating: Summary: its wasnt bad not as good as the other book about elizabeth Review: It was fair not very beleavable! faryring come on?? I enjoy it but margaret was a little to manly for my likeing & I enjoy when the time travel is the woman much better! but it was worth reading
Rating: Summary: Very good! but the hero has more warmth than the heroine. Review: Ms. Kurland is an excellent writer of historical romance, and this book is no exception.The story line was so captivating that I couldn't put it down.The dissappointment for me was that the hero, Alex showed more warmth than the heroine,Meg.She was also so annoying and unfeminene, it was a wonder that he was attracted to her in the first place. I did enjoy seeing Beth and Jamie reappear from the "prequel" to this book. I believe that it was " A Dance In Time." All in all, it was a very good book and I would reccommend it highly.
Rating: Summary: A Perfect Couple! Review: Oh he was a charmer alright, and she was a spirited and brave woman. I enjoyed it from early on when he could not speak french well, could not relieve himself in peace, then trying to get back to his own time only to have to return to Meg's keep when he failed, then braving the tourneys to win her hand-(of course, she enters the tourney also)-then finally returning to his time. I found this book to be a keeper. Now if someone could just tell me how I could go back in time to find MY Honorable and Charming Knight...Enjoy.

Rating: Summary: Wonderful!!!! Review: This is one of my favorite books, it was so funny. The heroine was unique and I just loved the hero, Alex. The secondary characters, both old and new where well incorporated into the story. I hope Ms. Kurland writes a story for Zach, I don't want to see this seires to end.
Rating: Summary: A PAGE TURNER Review: This is the first book that I read of Lynn Kurland's, and I could not put it down. This story of love combines passion and humor. Explore the timeless romance between Alexander and Margaret, in 1998 and in Medieval England.
Rating: Summary: Disappointing and dull Review: Though not my favorite Lynn Kurland novel, I did find it an enjoyable read. Having the man go back in time was a welcome switch from the norm, and the realistic characters kept me interested. There was plot, romance--everything I've come to expect from Lynn Kurland.
