Rating: Summary: Don't waste your time and money! Review: As a fan of time-travel books I'm wondering why I'm even giving this one star. There was no substance to the story just lots of fluf. I'm sorry, but there is no way someone arrives in the 20th Century from the 14th Century and takes everything in stride as the two main characters did in this story. How does Viviene get a paycheck without a SS#? AND she and Niall can read modern-day English with no trouble? It wasn't very realistic. Also, I don't like stories that make sure EVERYONE in the story has found a love in the last 5 pages!

Niall knows if he takes his beloved Viviane back home, she dies. If he fails to return with her, the honor he lived for would crumble and slowly kill him instead. MOONSTONE is a fabulous time travel romance that will leave no doubt as to the standing of Claire Cross among sub-genre fans. Using magic to propel the fast-paced story line forward (and back), sub-genre fans and fantasy readers will gain much pleasure from the superb novel. Readers will embrace the intelligent characters. Their reactions to time displacement feel genuine as the Medieval travelers struggle with modern times and a twentieth century individual seems overwhelmed with the fourteenth century. The response of the cast turn MOONSTONE into a necessary read for anyone who enjoys an entertaining story. Harriet Klausner
Rating: Summary: A new time travel from the author of The Last Highlander.... Review: THE MOONSTONE is a delightful time travel and fantasy story. Claire Cross has created appealing, sexy characters who have you cheering them on whether they are involved in highly comic or dire situations. She is a master at combining humor and adventure -- several scenes in this novel beg to be filmed in the spirit of "The Princess Bride". If time travel or fantasy have turned you off before, THE MOONSTONE is a book to replace that feeling with satisfaction from reading a most entertaining tale."

Rating: Summary: Read the last Highlander by Claire Cross Review: This book starts out okay but its both characters are from the past which doesn't work.
Rating: Summary: Don't waste your time and money! Review: This story contained some of the most boring and dumbest narration. It bored me and I skipped from the begining to the end and got the full sense of the story. Her other books were better.
