Summary: Romance in the future/past
Review: As always I can count on Donna for a great read. I know when I open a book of hers I am in for another exciting trip thru someone's interesting (and romantic) life. And again she did it. Donna tends to ad feeling, emotion and exciting people in all her books and I just loved Talia Trahearn. Devlin and Talia were both exciting people. I have to add tho that Archer was wonderful and of course Ringer stole the show. This is a book no one should miss. It would be a great read no matter what type of reading you enjoy.

Summary: Romance in the future/past
Review: Donna Kauffman takes you into the future and back again in this book. But if you are looking for true rip-roaring adventure in your romance, this may not be the book for you.Only a very small part of the story actually occurs in the future and much of the "action" takes place in the heroine's mind. That is there where the secrets are buried. Devlin has shades of Han Solo and Baleweg conjures images of Gandalf, but these are not bad things within the context of the story. The actual crisis in the future is treated rather lightly in comparison to the growing empathy between the hero and heroine. Hey, that's is how I like it! The inner reality is much more interesting than the outer reality.

Summary: Not what I expected at all
Review: Having just read "The Charm Stone", I was ready to be impressed with this book. It was a disappointment in most ways. It takes about 200 dull pages to come the point, (which, by the way, the reader will figure out about page 60), and is generally slow. I never managed to identify with either the hero or heroine. In fact, the heroine is dropped out for a couple of chapters and you find that you don't even notice or care. The ending was superficial and unsatisfying. This book had the potential to give us an intriguing Otherworld, but simply fell short.

Summary: Only if you must and have nothing to do.....
Review: I must say that this was not what I thought it would be, the book I mean.
I have read two books of Ms. Kauffman and it seems like this story is missing something.
In Royal Hunter, I thought that when it comes to the main char. the story is going somehow very slow and rushing when it was about the others.
When I was about 2/3 of the book, still nothing happened in the story.(saving the future queen and country)
If I've known I'd chosen another book to read but I think it's ok when you really have nothing special to do.

Summary: Only if you must and have nothing to do.....
Review: Many times we pick up a book and if it is futuristic romance, we usually put it back on the shelf. I can't honestly say that I didnt think about doing that to this one. However, I am certainly glad that I didnt. This book was well thought out and excellently executed. The story line takes a 28 year old woman named Talia who resides in the 21st century to the 23rd century with a mercenary who has heart named Devin Archer. Together along with a few important side characters such as Baleweg and Ringer, they are able to delve into Talia's special gifts and save a kingdom in grave danger. This was truly a wonderful read and I highly recommend it. I can't wait to get my hands on her next book The Charm Stone.

Summary: Fairy Tales *do* come true
Review: Talia Trahaern, rescuer of animals and an empath, grew up listening to fairy tales her mother told her. Little did she know that they weren't fairy tales, but the recounting of the mother's real life hundreds of years into the future. The bedtime stories were destined to remain pleasant memories until Devlin Archer and his friend, the wizard-like Baleweg, appear at Talia's door, demanding she follow them back to the future to help save their dying queen. To say Talia is skeptical is a gross understatement, but gradually Baleweg convinces her to embrace her 'gift' and Devlin convinces her to embrace him. She finally agrees to help them and they travel to Devlin's world where we find the most wondrous discovery---tooth decay has been completely eliminated. Seriously though, Talia and Devlin work toward saving the pregnant queen's child while fighting off evil forces who would rather see them all gone. All the while, Talia and Devlin grow closer and closer. But a bold move by the opposition threatens to separate them forever. Until "The Royal Hunter," I had never read a futuristic-type book, but as long as Ms. Kauffman continues to give readers a can't-put-it-down, good-to-the-last-page story such as this one, I will continue to read them.
