Summary: A great romantic read!
Review: A Perfect Love is a book that will really hold your interest. Just when you think the plot is finished and they live happily ever after, another character steps in and throws a curve. A Perfect Love has many twists and turns but author Sandra Landry keeps the story together. The story line flows beautifully and the characters come alive in this romance novel that spans several centuries.As a first time author, Sandra Landry displays her talent for writing. I expect to see more great books from her.

Summary: Delightful and Intriguing - a MUST read!
Review: Devastated by the news of her parents' death, Nadine du Monte boards the ferry to cross the channel back to Paris. In her grief she walks too close to the edge and during a dizzy spell, Nadine falls into the deep chilling waters of the channel. She wakes up . . . seven centuries into the past. Lord Faulk Brookstone, a knight of great strenght and valor, is determined to fulfill his last promise to his now deceased father; to beget an heir. It has been prophesized that only a woman bearing the mark of a rose will be the one to bear Faulk's sons, and that she will come from the water. When Faulk finds a woman unconscious on the shore, bearing a mark of the rose on her shoulder, he is reminded of the prophecy. Having suffered the ultimate betrayal from a woman in the past, Faulk is not ready to open the doors of his heart to any woman again. However, because of his need to bear an heir, he is determined to wed Nadine and will go to great lengths to keep her. When she wakes up, at first Nadine doesn't realize something is amiss. Surrounded by people who dress and speak oddly, it takes her a while to grasp the fact that she has traveled centuries into the past. The sparks of attraction between Nadine and Faulk are instantaneous and their passion only adds more spice to this tale. However, before Nadine can really contemplate a future with Faulk, she must solve the mystery and confront the dangers of her past life. A PERFECT LOVE is Sandra Landry's debut novel, and an excellently entertaining one. A Brazilian native with English as her second language, Ms Landry has made a graceful entrance into the romance industry. A PERFECT LOVE is has an intriguing plot that is followed by a delightful story. Ms Landry has a talent for spinning memorable tales and creating lovable characters. Not only is the story packed with romance and passion, but Landry adds just enough spice and suspense to keep those pages turning swiftly. The secondary characters are also well depicted and certainly add depth to this story of love across time. The dialogue is well written while the descriptions tantalize the imagination. Sandra Landry's A PERFECT LOVE is just the book to curl up with when you're in the mood to let your imagination take you to far off places. Definitely a must read!

Summary: Excellent Time Travel
Review: I just finished this book, the 2nd time travel I've read, and I thought it was excellent. It was a real page turner. For the most part, it didn't have a lot of funny scenes (except when it finally dawns on Nadine that she isn't in Kansas anymore, just after deciding that everyone was not in on some kind of a joke involving her), but
the last line in the book was hysterical! It ended on such a happy note. I really liked Faulk, and I realized fairly early on that he truly loved Nadine, though he denied it through to nearly the end. The book was more of a reincarnation book than a time travel, I thought. If it had been more of a time travel, it would have been interesting to see the medeval Nadine in our modern times.
I hope to read Sandra Landry's other book, The Wishing Chalice,
soon.

Summary: A great romantic read!
Review: I love reading both romances and time travels, and this book was everything I wanted rolled into one. The tasteful cover caught my attention (thanks for avoiding the bodice-ripper syndrome, as I don't feel right reading those in public) and the promise of a good story continued right into the first chapter. A tight plot populated by deep, emotional characters is always a joy to read, but Ms. Landry's magic with words and her ability to tell a story put me right in the middle of 1100's England. Her depiction of castle life and the mannerisms of the people made the plight of the modern-day heroin, Nadine--with all of her modern-day attitudes--even more intense when she finds herself swept into the past. A combination of fate and prophecy brings these two together, but their differences cause them to clash, despite their attraction to one another. The romance between Nadine and Faulk--the hero hunk that is to die for!--blooms as they are plunged from one obstacle into another, giving the book a fast and intriguing pace. There is excellent sexual tension between Nadine and Faulk, and the scenes of intimacy between them are warm, powerful, tasteful, and very romantic. The best part of the book is the ending. Jut as the reader believes all has ended well, a surprise twist pops onto the pages and sets the reader to biting her nails as everything falls apart for the two lovers. I won't ruin it by telling the ending, but watching them grow into the people that they were meant to be in this time and place, and watching them tear down the emotional barriers that are keeping them apart is sentimental and heartwarming. Get it and read this wonderful debut novel for yourself. It's a real keeper. I'm looking forward to seeing Ms. Landry's next book.

Summary: Beautiful Tale
Review: I really enjoyed reading A Perfect Love. It's a very interesting story and made me laugh and feel tender at the same time. All the confusion situations of past and contemporary are showed in a very funny way during the dialogues between the two main characters. A love with no barriers, even time... I'm longing to read something else from this author, definitely she has her own style!

Summary: Good read but too many unexplained events a la time travel
Review: In 1189 England, Faulk Brookstone informs his father that he must return honor to the family name after his marital debacle. His deceased wife gave birth to another man's stillborn child. Faulk tells his father to select a bride for him to marry upon his return from the Crusades. Just before he leaves, a witch forecasts that Faulk's future bride will mysteriously come from the sea with a rose imbedded into her shoulder. In present day France, Nadine du Monte returns to England after spending time with her parents in France only to learn that her parents died in an accident. No planes are available and the Chunnel is closed due to an accident. She takes the ferry, but the distraught Nadine falls into the Channel. In 1195, Faulk finds an unconscious Nadine on the nearby beach. He takes her home believing she is the woman of the prophecy that he is to marry. Though skeptical about his belief, Nadine falls in love with her protector and he with her. However, treachery and the whims of time might prematurely end A PERFECT LOVE just as it did almost a decade ago when Nadine first lived and drowned trying to escape imprisonment. A PERFECT LOVE is an entertaining time travel romance. The story line is fun though the watery gateway that Nadine traveled is never explained. Still the plot is very exciting as the late twelfth century comes fully alive. Nadine is an ideal displaced person and Faulk is her perfect foil due to all the guilt he carries. Sandra Landry provides sub-genre fans with a pleasant tale. Harriet Klausner

Summary: An exciting time travel
Review: Little did Nadine du Monte know the significance the rose tattoo on her shoulder would play in her life the fateful day she walked into that tattoo parlour. Nadine's transition from modern day woman to 12th century maiden begins as she battles her fear of water travel to race home upon the news of her parents' deaths. Nadine tumbles overboard into the murkey depths of time travel where she is discovered by Lord Faulk Brookstone unconscious on the shore. Faulk is thrown for a loop when he sees the rose on Nadine's shoulder and is reminded of the prophecy of the kindly old witch, that the woman with the mark of a rose on her shoulder would be the only one to bear him heirs. Nadine awakens to find herself in a strange place and time surrounded by people that are oddly familiar. Nadine and Faulk each battle their personal fears of betrayal, love and commitment. Sandra Landry laces these emotions with the perfect touch of romance and passion. Sandra keeps you turning the pages to see what puzzle piece falls into place next for Nadine and when Faulk is going to let his guard down and give his heart to the woman he is destined to spend eternity with.

A PERFECT LOVE may be Sandra Landry's first novel, but it definitely won't be her last!
