Summary: Outstanding!
Review: Drochaid Castle, Scotland - 1980 to 1570 and 1996 to 1587. When Audrey Williams as a child visits Drochaid Castle in Scotland with her father, she notices a corridor that no one else does. As she ventures down it she meets a teenager dressed in costume. Frightened by the experience she has with the young man Audrey runs back down the hallway. When she meets up with her father and the rest of the tour group he points to something in the glass case that looks just like hers. Audrey is shaken, it's impossible, how can it be... she just lost it less than five minutes ago in the strange corridor.... A wonderful time travel romance with characters you will remember.

Summary: A Darkly Enjoyable Read.
Review: I'm not usually interested in "romance" novels, but I am quite interested in Mary, Queen of Scots, and her third husband, the Earl of Bothwell, which is what inspired me to read this book. And I am glad I did. It is well written, involving, and the hero and heoine are rather more realistic and complex than the characters usually found in this genre. As a Mary and Bothwell "fan," I liked that the book depicted them both favorably. Mary, of course, has had many defenders over the centuries, but Bothwell has not been as fortunate. I was delighted that Holling had the insight to portray him as the tragic hero I believe he was. In short, I'd recommend the book to anyone interested in this type of fiction. Let's hope Holling tries her hand again.

Summary: A great time travel work
Review: In 1980, Audrey Williams toured Scottish castles with her parents. They all seemed identical to the young American until she came to Drochaid Castle. While on a guided tour, she notices a corridor that no one else seems to see. Wandering by herself, she meets a teenager in the weird looking section. She quickly races back to the entrance and its electric lights. The teen Brendan Ross searched his castle without finding a trace of the lass. For the next sixteen years, dreams haunt Audrey. Finally with the suicide of her spouse, Audrey decides to return to the castle to learn why that place haunts her every night. She enters that same corridor that no one appears to see, but this time does not flee. Brendan, the Earl of Irvine, still dreams of the lass he fleetingly saw, but time has persuaded him that she was not real. When he sees Audrey again, he feels that she represents an omen that his death bed pledged quest to save Mary Queen of Scots will succeed. Accompanied by Audrey, Brendan begins his crusade not knowing that the two will soon fall in love amidst betrayal. A TIME FOR DREAMS is an enjoyable time travel romance that brings to life the era of intrigue, danger, and treachery that engulf Mary. The story line takes off when the plot intertwines real history with a moving story line. This novel will provide pleasure to sub-genre fans and readers of historical romance. The enticing lead couple struggles to surmount the time differential and treason. Jen Holling writes an entertaining tale that will surprise readers that this is her first story. Harriet Klausner
