Rating: Summary: Wonderful Review: I normally do not read many time travel books, especially thos wrtiten about medival times. I cannot believe these women are not instantly burned at the stake as witches. Modern women just don't fit the time period. This book works because there is a magician involved that the people, he serves, believe can do anything. It is a very nice love story.

Rating: Summary: Brilliant story Review: I read a few time-travel stories and this is one of the best. I could not put it down until I had finished it. Tessa and Galahad are made for each other. It makes you cry when Tessa has to leave Galahad behind when Merlin whisks her back to her own time . I won't spoil the story by telling you the end, but it is not what you expect. I shall definately be looking out for more of Victoria's books to read in the future. She is a fantastic writer. How about writing another book with these two characters Victoria. I'd love to read more about them.
Rating: Summary: Don't start unless you have time to finish it in one sitting Review: I really enjoyed this book and would recommend it to anyone. There was some very good humor. It is not a deep book but very enjoyable, fun to read and difficult to put down. Go ahead, pick it up, pass it to someone else and believe.
Rating: Summary: Enchanting Review: I really liked the characters in this book. A different spin on Camelot for sure. I particularly liked the humorous manner in which Victoria depicted Merlin and Tessa. I'm new at reading the time-travel romances, but have found several that I can skip 20 pages or more and not miss anything. That wasn't the case with this book.The characters are so likable and well developed. I would definitely recommend it!!
Rating: Summary: A witty twist to Camelot! Review: I started and couldn't put it down, it is great, I love the verbal play between Merlin and Tessa. I adore The king Arthur Legend, and this book has put such a delightful twist to this time travel story, a must read. I can't wait to try another Book by Victoria, the titles I've read have me wanting to spend more time with her wit. Zaynah
Rating: Summary: Had potential, but fizzled out ... Review: I thought this book started out great, but halfway through, I was wondering why I was wasting my time. The female lead was a ditz who too easily accepted her trip back in time. I hated the way she refered to Galahad as "big guy" and felt the Merlin and his lover sub-plot was a big distraction. By the time I was on the last 50-pages I wondered why I had bothered.
Rating: Summary: A moving and magical romance Review: It can make anyone a believer with its touching magic. Although it doesn't hold quite true to the Arthurian legend as we know it,still its story has a few twists on their own to make it worthwhile.
Rating: Summary: I LOVE it! Review: King Arthur and the knights of the round table legend is my favorite of all and Tristan my favorite knight! My cats are name Tristan & galahad, so much I love this stuff. The book is a must keep, you will laugh with the antics that these characters will go thru, and the HEAT between Tessa and Tristan is to die for.Is the best I have read in a LOOONG time!
Rating: Summary: Falls far short Review: Okay, I was thinking I couldn't lose with this one. Time travel - good. Medieval times - good. Romance - good. Ha! This particular mix is not good. It has its moments - the character of Merlin is particularly memorable. However, the whole premise has faults - Camelot? Galahad? Hunting for the Holy Grail? It's all so fabled already that it would take greater talent than Ms. Alexander's to add to its mythology. I particularly couldn't believe the main character, Tessa. She's an assistant professor of literature, yet she behaves so juvenilely about her clothing and the inconveniences of the past? Please - grow up. I liked Galahad for the most part; although, what's the poor guy supposed to do with that name in the 20th century? I have yet to read more Alexander books. I hope the rest are better. For truly excellent time-travel romance, check out Lynn Kurland.
