Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
While on a research excursion in southern Ohio, Nichole Swan, a divorced schoolteacher, finds herself sucked back in time to the year 1813. When Nikki wakens in the presence of a handsome Indian warrior who claims to be Tecumseh's twin brother, Silver Thorn, she is convinced that someone is playing a joke. That thought is quickly dispelled, however, when Thorn demonstrates his magical powers and informs Nikki that she has been brought back for a purpose?she is to foretell the future of his brother, Tecumseh, and their Shawnee tribe. As a history teacher, Nikki knows that, in the year 1813, Tecumseh doesn't have long to live and that much of the Shawnee tribe will suffer and die on the Trail of Tears. But does she dare to interfere in the course of history? Hart has a good story, but she tries too hard to create spunk in her heroine and the result is more brass than sass. The soft-spoken, shaman hero seems a total mismatch for the bold and audacious heroine.

It's fantastic!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Charmed (Paperback)
I normally hate time-travelling novels but Ms. Hart's Charmed is totally great. I fell thoroughly in love with Silver Thorn and I found the mixing of magic in the 21st century to be incredibly entertaining. This is one book I'd like to keep again and again.

I Lost IQ Points by Reading This Book,
By A Customer
This review is from: Charmed (Paperback)
"Charmed" is probably the sorriest excuse for a novel I have ever read. I liked Diana Gabaldon's "Outlander", so the time-travel-meets-romance formula is not the problem. "Charmed" is poorly written, badly concieved, not true to history, not consistent (the magic Indian can turn the bedroom into a romantic glade with flowers and butterflies but he can't heal his wife's sprained ankle) and the dialog is painfully stupid. Example: Nikki has traveled back in time to the Shawnee tribal lands and is attending a festival with Silver Thorn. He has painted his body with blue paint for the ceremony and she says "Omigod! You look like a cross between a Mighty Power Ranger and a giant Smurf!" In spite of the fact that she speaks in modern slang, the Indians of 1812 have no problem accepting her. They like her Bic lighter!! A total waste of time - you will lose brain cells as you read.

It was a great book. Hard to put down. A lot of interesting historical tidbits that does not bore the reader. Many plot twists and turns. A great romance novel. J Vasile
