Pirates

Rating:
Summary: Imaginative and Original!
Review: This is an imaginative tale that is masterfully written. The characters and lovable, and orginal as is the story itself. Ms. Miller managed to create an amazing bond between two people in a very short time.

Phoebe is mysteriously tranported back into a time of pirates through a magical elevator that servered as a gateway. On the other side she meats Duncan who for all his brashnes turns out to be the man of Phoebe's dreams. The story follows them through many twists and turns taking the reader on an emotional roller coaster ride.

Ms. Miller has made even the most unlikely of events seem to be real. This is a book that you will be glad you read.

Summary: Why is this author so popular?
Review: This is the second book I have read by her and I just don't understand the fuss. I love historical, timetravel, sci-fi and otherwise offbeat romances and have read many of them. This book is so-so. Her characters are well defined and likeable and the dialogue is entertaining. But the romance has no development - they go from first meeting - to bed - to in love forever in the space of a few brief scenes and there is not much of a plot. Her main character is a "History buff" who worked for several years as a research assistant to an American History professor yet her level of knowledge about the period she is thrown into is right at about the level of your average 4th grader. Better that she had been a Psych. major since she given to offering advice that could have come-out of any pop-self-help book.The author doesn't know much more about the period then the heroine and none of it rang true. All in all it is readable if you don't expect much from it or the author.

Summary: What an imagination!
Review: What an imagination Linda Lael Miller has! Yet once the reader accepts the basic premise of her time-travel fantasy, Miller keeps her story fast-moving and consistent within the premise of that fantasy. Along the way, Linda painlessly has included a fair amount of colonial history--not to mention some spicy love scenes. A fun, escapist read. Hats off to Ms. Miller.
