Summary: Didn't like the start of the plot
Review: Brianne is asked to return to Griffin's time with the knowledge that his wife, Florence, would die of a miscarriage and then they would die just before their own wedding. She goes back in time hoping to change things. Her cousin Florence is such a nice devoted wife but shy of her wifely duties. Griffin is fond of her so they can't act on their love for each other behind her back but we have to read about their going without each other until she dies. I couldn't enjoy such a plot. Then we have a flu epidemic, his saving captured slaves, and a villian's revenge.

Summary: A little too much to take..........
Review: I have read all of Jenny Lykins and have liked them very much, but this one was just a little too much. She happens to go back in time to the same year her best friend went back in time to? By the time I reached 3/4 through the book, I more or less found myself thinking "oh come on!" and ended up skipping to the happily ever after ending. The book is now waiting in the bag to be taken to the book exchange. I considered this one a waste.

Summary: Great time travel romance
Review: In Baton Rouge, David Marks asks his long time friend Brianne Davis to accompany him to a séance that his fiancée and her psychic are hosting. David figures Brianne is the only person he knows who will find the humor in all this. After working very hard, Brianne thinks attending the séance will be a diverting form of entertainment. At the séance, Brianne sees a ghostly figure of a male pleading with her to return to him. The specter kisses her leaving Brianne haunted by his image until lightning strikes and she finds herself in 1832 Louisiana in the body of someone named Amily. Adding to her disbelief is that her kissing ghost turns out to be Griffin, a flesh and blood, handsome living man. As Brianne struggles with handling difficult situations, she realizes that she, like her host body, is falling in love with Griffin. However, he is married to Amily's cousin and Brianne knows she belongs in the late twentieth century. RIVER OF DREAMS is an enjoyable time travel romance that uses reincarnation as the passage into past lives. The story line is fun as Brianne struggles with her feelings and her dislocation seems genuine. Jenny Lykins is becoming one of the sub-genre's best authors with compassionate novels like this one and tales like ECHOES OF TOMORROW and LOST YESTERDAY. Harriet Klausner

Summary: A gentle, time traveling delight!
Review: In present day Baton Rouge, Brianne finds herself haunted by a handsome spirit who has occasionally spoken through her best friend David since they attended a séance. When things become too intense something happens to Brianne. She is transported back to 1832 and into the presence of the handsome flesh and blood stranger AND if that isn't enough she lands in the body of the one woman who can't have him. A lot happens once she is transported and becomes Amily. Some readers will be accepting of the many coincidences and the explanations and some may not. But that's the idea of alternatives romances... there are no rules. I found it humorous, fun and entertaining. She also has two other Time Travel Romances: ECHOES OF TOMORROW and LOST YESTERDAY

Summary: Best one yet!
Review: Ms. Lykins keeps getting better with every book. I loved the way she had this book connected with Distant Dreams, which was set two years earlier. This is one author who always leaves me surprised and satisfied! Another great one, Ms. Lykins! Keep them coming! Please!

Summary: A must read!
Review: This is a great sequel to Distant Dreams, and even though I read River of Dreams first, I enjoyed both books more than any in a long time. I love the way this author gets you to feel the emotion.
