Customer Reviews

GREAT! SENSUAL - Very Romantic with a good story!

I can't believe previous reviewers said this was not romantic or great. I was spell-bound throughout the whole book. This is an intelligent author that writes fascinating detail and storylines -- and it was a true romance. I have read hundreds of romance books and this is one of those very rare treasures that I am keeping. The 3rd in a series, I liked it best of all three.

Romantic, Sensual Time-Traveling Adventure

I have generally being reading historical romances, but this book was amazingly good -- if you like science fiction, magic and romance, this is a perfect blend of all. The story in incredibly beautiful and detailed. Avallyn and Morgan's adventure held me glued to the book all the way through. If you like this, you might also like books by Dara Joy.

Different cover, same great book!

Hnmmmm, for what ever reason the wonderful PRINCE OF TIME has lost it's dreamy romantic cover with it's just right models. Don't know why it was changed, I loved the original cover. Still, I want to assure everyone it is still the same romantic, unique, action packed story.Let's take a minute to look at the new cover. We have a hunk who is handsome without looking as though he could lift a horse.(Can't stand those horse lifters!) :) There is that wonderful Claymore hanging on his back, those manly wrist bands! Even with the country western shag, this is a hero to be reckoned with!What waits for Morgan at the top of the stairs? Are those mists tranquil, or malevolent? Do those creeping, twisting vines protect Morgan, or the Hart Tower itself?Where is the lovely Avallyn? Does she wait for rescue in this egnigmatic tower, or is she occupied with her own adventure? Perhaps she is right behind as a brave and resourceful back-up.Ready to face the dreadful evil forces that threaten her world, and her beloved. Climb those tower steps with Morgan. There is a fantastic love story waiting for you chock full of romance and adventure, and wonderfully imaginative characters.Take the extra moment to find this special paper back with it's intriguing new cover. PRINCE OF TIME is definitly worth a second look. This size fits so well in a purse or bookbag too.:) Don't miss wonderful Glenna McReynolds'wonderful PRINCE OF TIME!

Magicical, romantic, fantastic book!

I was entranced by THE CHALICE AND THE BLADE, the first book in Glenna McReynold's extraordinary trilogy. Imagine my shock when one of my favorite characters, the dashing and engaging Welsh Prince, Morgan ab Kynan, was killed off in a particularily horrific manner! Or was he?So often, when a writer does a trilogy, at least one book falls short. I am happy to say that Glenna McReynolds started out beautifully, and only surpasses herself with each book in this oh so carefully thought out and beautifully written trio.You can enjoy each story on it's own, but do yourself a favor and get the whole trilogy. For those of us who have been with these characters from the beginning, PRINCE OF TIME is a truly rich and rewarding finale!Glenna McReynolds is an extremely gifted author. She takes us from the green mists of Medieval Wales to a world of the future where few have ever seen a living tree. It takes real talent to time travel convincingly.You can feel the heat of the desert, and smell the fresh wind of Wales here.Morgan ab Kynan, a displaced warrior prince, makes his way by thievery and deception. Tortured by dreams of a past he cannot reach, he drowns his pain with wine. At his side is Aja, a boy whose life he saved, whose loyalty is unshakable.Into their troubled lives comes Princess Avallyn, who has her own agenda.Though reluctant, Morgan and Avallyn must depend on each other.In the course of their adventures, they find the love both had thought impossible.Their destiny is to save the world, but will their love be enough to save each other?This is as an exciting, fast paced, action packed book as you are likely to find. Lushly romantic, with the lyrical prose that McReynolds does so well, it is truly outstanding!All the characters in this book are exceptional. Wizards, warriors, thieves, or princesses, each is memorable. "Dharkkum" is one of the creepiest, most malovolent, most imaginative, "bad guys" I've ever read. Hands and feet will definitely stay under the covers!This is just a gorgeous book! It made me smile and shed a few tears. Also made my heart beat faster. What more can we expect?Congratulations, and a great big thank you to Glenna McReynolds for this creative, fantastic book!PRINCE OF TIME has a colorful dreamily romantic cover. Happily, the models for this lovely cover look just the way the characters are described. A big plus for this reader.Give yourself an early Christmas present and take the PRINCE OF TIME home for the Holidays. It is not to be missed!

Supeb romantic fantasy

To survive in this world that is almost a thousand years ahead of his birth year, accidental time traveler Morgan ab Kynan turns to thievery. In this highly advanced Technological environment, Morgan is quite good at his chosen occupation, which allows him to more than survive. He leads a small gang of felons.However, his latest booty, a statue of a golden dragon brings Morgan to the attention of the wrong type of people for a thief in the night. Covus Gei, the deadly warmonger wants to kill Morgan because he believes the criminal is his enemy, the PRINCE OF TIME. The White Ladies of Death give chase too because they feel Morgan is their prophecy fulfilled after a ten-millennium wait. One of the White Ladies, a Priestess of the Bones, Avallon Le Severn, finds Morgan first. It shocks them both to find they are instantly attracted to one another. They must flee from the Warmonger who chases them into a wormhole back to his former time in Wales to hopefully fulfill his destiny.PRINCE OF TIME is an exciting, non-stop blending of elements of romance and fantasy into a powerful tale that is more than the sum of its' parts. The story line in the future is cleverly designed to make Morgan a rogue struggling with his displacement. The return to the past is filled with action although Avallon, a powerful player in the future, all but vanishes from the screen. Still, Glenna McReynolds provides a wild ride that will please fans of all genres as she triumphantly completes her Celtic trilogy (see THE CHALICE AND THE BLADE and DREAM STONE).Harriet Klausner
