Customer Reviews

An absolute keeper...

I loved this book right from the start. It is fast paced, witty and kept me to my couch until the end. It was funny to read that Amanda - the time traveller - would have killed for a piece of pizza or a juicy cheeseburger. That she suffered through the realization that toilet paper had to be inveted yet, etc. I wished that Amanda would have used her knowlege of the future more to change everyday life, expecially when planning the restoration of "The Park" or in any other aspect of life, to better the position of women in society for excample. Her adaption into regency life as a woman without even trying to "meddle" quite a lot did not strike true to me. To be fair it has to be said that the book only covers about two months in Amanda's new life therefore there is not much that she could have achived. But I would have loved to read an additonal chapter like "10 years later" or so, just to learn what she did with her knowledge and if her husband learned to accept her as an equal partner. Nevertheless, the book is more than worth reading, so if you can put your hands on a copy - DO IT.

Delightful Regency

Ms. Barbour's knowledge of the Regency era is as solid as her power of reasoning. Both combined allowed her to create a believable time-travel story -- not an easy task for any writer. Fans of the conventional Regency romance will like this book and so will anyone who enjoys a well-plotted story.This is indeed a keeper. I have it on my shelf.RDP

A definite keeper!

I have read many romance time travel novels and only a handful are worth rereading. This book is one of them. It's truly a delight, and for once I was actually disappointed when the book came to an end!
