Summary: Heart-Warming and Wonderful
Review: "Say You're Mine" by Judi McCoy was such an enjoyable read! I truly loved the character Declan O'Shea. He was an honorable man, as well as being kind and generous, hard working and loyal. Declan was a man from 1783 who, after being ship wrecked, has slept for 2 centuries until awakened by his destiny in the small town of Sunset, Florida. Liberty Grayson was a woman whose heart was wounded by a man she thought to spend the rest of her life with and was unwilling to easily allow another man into her heart and her life, or the life of her young son. Without warning and against all her best intentions, Libby falls in love with Declan even knowing that he's a drifter with a shadowy past who intends to leave the town once he's helped them with their 4th of July town fair.
The story of Libby and Declan's growing love is a wonderful, heart-warming story. The interaction between Declan and Libby's son, J.P., is also tender and touching. "Uncle T" is another character who really adds a nice touch to the story and interaction. And don't forget the irrepresible Grandpa Jack - who loves his grand-daughter and great grandson with all his heart. The story of Libby and Declan's growing love is a wonderful, heart-warming story. The interaction between Declan and Libby's son, J.P., is also tender and touching. I would recommend this story to anyone who loves a tender, love story. Judi McCoy delivers a sweet, wonderful story with a happy ending, and isn't that what you want from a good romance!

Summary: Another great read by Judi McCoy
Review: Declan O'Shea has had his fill of privateering. The war for the colonies independence is over and he is on his way to claim treasure he buried earlier. On the way to his ship, he's given an amulet by a gypsy woman. Days later, his ship is wrecked in a hurrican off the Florida Keys. Only Declan survives to swim to a cave, climb a ledge and fall asleep. Present day, Libby Grayson has come home with her five year old son to help her ailing grandfather save the family tavern. Left to care for her son by a man who never married her, she is reticent to the idea of love. She finds Declan in the cave and awakens him. He is shocked to learn he's slept away over 250 years of his life. But he is intrigued and strangely drawn to Libby. Declan and Libby's son bond. Libby falls for Declan's story of sleeping through time. When a tropical storm strikes the keys, Declan has to make a choice between Libby and his treasure. He realizes she is what he has been searching for, not a strongbox full of gold and tells her so, finally giving in to fate. This author NEVER lets me down. The book had me turning the page all the way to its heartfelt ending.

Summary: Realistic heroine
Review: Heroine: buxom single mother After suffering heartbreak at the hands of her son's father, Libby Grayson gives up a high-paying job in a New York accounting firm and moves back home to Florida to regain her equilibrium. Safe in her loving but dilapidated Sunset Key, Libby realizes that the townsfolk are barely staying in the black and sets out to save the village from financial ruin. But the situation is so bad, she'll need a miracle to pull it off! Sea-faring Declan O'Shea has awakened with a headache in the wrong century, a fiery termagant of a woman standing over him, prodding him with a piece of driftwood. He accuses Libby of stealing his money, and she, having had her honor and integrity impugned, flounces off in a huff. Uncertain how or why he came to be in a cave 200 years in the future, Declan is determined to make the most of his lot. He'll find his long-buried treasure, buy himself a new boat, and return to his one true love: the open sea. The bedraggled stranger worms his way into the confidence of the townsfolk of Sunset Key, taking on odd jobs to get by. He even comes up with a nearly foolproof plan to fix the town's money problems. But Libby's suspicions remain. This beach bum is no more trustworthy than her ex, and she'll do everything she can to prevent this man from hurting the people she loves. Can Declan and Libby stop sparring with each other long enough to recognize the priceless treasure right in front of them? What worked for me: Declan was delicious! It didn't take me long to become smitten with this charming black Irish hunk. Size-wise Libby came across as being on the fuller side of average. Weight didn't play much of a role in the book, with the exception of a reference here and there that Libby made about Declan not being able to carry her. (Of course, Declan managed it. Apparently either the hunks of yore were made of sturdier stuff than their counterparts of today, or modern women have a skewed concept of what "heavy" means.) What didn't work for me: The pacing was a little slower than I usually like. And I would have loved to have seen Declan struggle a bit more when trying to become acclimatized to the modern world. Overall: An enjoyable, steamy read. I will definitely be keeping any eye out for other titles by Ms. McCoy! If you liked "Say You're Mine" you might also enjoy "Somewhere in Time", "A Love Through Time", or "Dear Cupid".

Summary: Adorable and Colorful
Review: I loved this book and I rarely read romance novels! It took me away to a place described in colorful, accurate detail by Ms. McCoy. The characterizations are wonderful, touching and funny and it's very easy to picture the characters and get into their story. The hero is charming and sexy with flaws that only make him more loveable. The relationships especially involving the son are heartwarming.
I highly recommend this book to anyone!

Summary: amusing time travel
Review: In 1783 Charleston, South Carolina, the gypsy woman accosts Irish Sea Captain Declan O'Shea, who is polite, but starts to move on. However, she offers him several items of jewelry and still being courteous, he chooses a medallion containing an amulet. Not long afterward, Declan survives a shipwreck that leaves him on the beach of Sunset Key, Florida, circa 2002. Declan meets accountant Libby Grayson, raising a five-year-old by herself ever since Brett Ritter deserted them. As Declan and Libby begin to fall in love, he wonders if he will stay in this fascinating time with his beloved and her cherished son while she questions her choice in men as he is obviously a lunatic. SAY YOU'RE MINE is an amusing time travel romance starring a besieged modern day woman and a roguish eighteenth century charmer. The support cast, especially her child, enables the audience to better understand the lead protagonists. The story line is fun though Declan adapts too easily to the technology. Still fans will have a good time and want to read more works from Julie McCoy (see YOU'RE THE ONE and I DREAM OF YOU). Harriet Klausner
