Summary: a wonderful touching funny book
Review: I can't wait to read more from this author. I found this book to be warm, touching, funny, passionate and very enjoyable. I loved the secondary characters of Aunt Sophie and Daniel. I would have liked to read a bit more about them but maybe they will show up in future books. The other characters of Austin and Sarah made me want to read their story asap.This is a time travel/fantasy romance. The hero, Connor is a sorcerer. He can do things that amaze and frighten some. He travels 1000 years into the future to the 1880s in Boston to meet the woman who has been in his dreams since childhood. Laura. Laura is a woman who is trying to be so very proper to help her father. She has had the same dreams of Connor since childhood but when he appears she has no idea what to do with him. He has her very rattled and she gets so very confused about her feelings towards him and doing what she thinks is the right thing. There are also outside enemies trying to break these two apart and its exciting finding out whether or not they succeed.
I really enjoyed this book and I'm looking forward to reading others by this author.

Summary: wonderful concepts, dreary female
Review: The story was full of fantastic ideas, and Connor was all that could be desired, but Laura almost ruined the story for me. She's so repressed and afraid, I found her very irritating. Most of the other characters were great, however.

Summary: Great story, great hero, shame about the heroine
Review: This book did not live up to my expectations. Connor was wonderful, a man to die for, but Laura is a great disapointment until the end. If this book had been set in the present day instead of Victorian Boston I think Laura's character could have been changed for the better. She would not have acted the way most victorian ladies did. She would have had a mind of her own and been able to follow the dictates of her heart. The book does pick up even Laura when she accepts its Connor she wants and not that cold fish Philip. She does leave it a little late to tell Philip she won't marry him. At least she came to her senses in time virtually leaving Philip standing at the alter. The other characters in the book were wonderful, especially Aunt Sophie, for a middle-aged victorian spinster she had a lot more go in her. I have just found out that Austin and Sarah have already had a book written about them. Unfortunately I did not know this until I finished reading this book. I would have liked to read their story first. I don't think that bringing someone from the past to the 19th century works as well as if you bring them forward to the present day.
