Timeless Passion

Summary: I read this book when I was about 14
Review: and I still think about the storyline quite frequently. Not only did I love the characters and how they developed throughout the book, but I'm very much into the New Orleans: it's such a great setting for a romance to take place. "Timeless Passion" also includes many dualisms, like North vs. South, being a modern career woman vs. being an oppressed wallflower wife, etc. For me, the time travel genre is a great expression of clashing ideals and interests, which can be both hilarious and shocking depending on what's encountered. From a person that reads just about anything she picks up, I'm still a very harsh critic. This book, along quite a few classics, I swear it makes me want to be a writer, too. On a side note, it was clever of O'Day-Flannery to make Brianne so short in comparison to Ryan. We need more characters that aren't portrayed as supermodels so that more peeple can enjoy these types of novels.

Summary: great time travel book
Review: Brianne was on her way to be with her sister while she was having her baby when she had a car accident. When she came too, she walked a few steps fell down an embankment and blacked-out again. When she again awoke it was to see a handsome man telling her that she was a whore sent by his friend as a joke. She thought he was mad, and that everyone in the area was in a historical play (for the tourists). He would not believe she was from the future. Imagine when she finds out that he was really an ancestor of her sisters husband. Read the book to find out what happens.

Summary: Constance O'Day Flannery has written romance "With a plot"
Review: I laughed at romance novels until I read Timeless Passion. Brianne is a modern woman who wakes up in 1856 alone and confused. Hoping she'll wake up from this dream/nightmare, she copes the best she can. She settles for a marriage of convience for survival, thinking that the love and companionship she seeks will never be hers. Constance O'Day Flannery's character development is marvelous. You grow to care for Brianne. I found myself staying up until 3am to see her life unfold, unable to put my book down. As in all romance novels, there is a happy ending, but the afterward to this novel, tying up the time travel plot, brought tears to my eyes

Summary: GET YOUR TISSUE "EXCELLENT"
Review: Now this is a good book! It is one of my all time favorites, and has a place of honor on my "Keeper" shelf. Everything in this book works to perfection. The characters are well crafted and the situations are believable (even though Brianne goes back in time). The dialog is flowing, and the emotions are strong. It reminds me a lot of "The Flame and the Flower", but with a spunkier modern heroine. I especially like the Epilogue when the author explains what happens to Brianne's present day body. PS: be careful whom you lend this book to, you may have trouble getting it back.

Summary: Maybe it COULD happen
Review: The heroine finds herself transported back in time as the story line diverts her from current day to 150 years ago. Wonderfully crafted writing, easy to read and pleasant afterthoughts.
