A Wonderful Time Travel!, May 25, 2004
This review is from: The Circle of a Promise (Mass Market Paperback)
I admit to being somewhat a snob when it comes to the sub-genre of time-travel romance. I have a few authors that I'll read but for the most part I normally overlook this particular genre due to the fact that seldom are they done well. This book blew me away. Not only did Ms. Rosburg pen a wonderful romance she was very creative in the way she introduced the time travel theme. Steve Bellingham is being tormented by a dream that always end with the death of the woman in his arms. For years he has been suffering and no one seems to be able to help him in the medical community. His sister mentions Millie a person she thinks will be able to help him. Millie will help him regress back to his past life and hopefully this will end the dream. Steve doesn't believe in past lives but is willing to do anything at this point to end the depression and other sad feelings he has been experiencing since the onset of the dream. He is totally blown away when the regression seems to work. He goes back in time to the period of the rule of Henry III. Here he finds the love of his life, his soul mate and together they battle the same enemy. But can Steven change the past this time around and protect the one woman he's sworn to love and protect? This book was so well written that I found myself transported back in time along with Steven. I totally fell in love with all of the characters and found myself laughing and crying along with them. This is the second time I've read this book and it really only gets better. I highly recommend this book as well as this author to anyone if there interested in a well crafted story that will move your emotions.

powerful time travel romance, June 16, 2003
This review is from: The Circle of a Promise (Mass Market Paperback)
During the reign of King Henry III, triumphant knight Stephen of Bellingham and a baron's daughter Amarantha of Ullswater meet and fall in love. He vows forever, but a maniac kills her. He not only feels lonely; he just dreads life for having failed his beloved. In 2003, Steve Bellingham wakes up every morning in fear, having suffered through a nightmare that feel very real. Feeling the foreboding pressure of relentless angst, he desperately seeks a remedy hopefully something hat will let him sleep dreamlessly, as life is not worth living like this. A psychic helps him see the dream as something that happened to him and his beloved Amarantha centuries ago. He now has a quest of the heart: to complete the vow he once made, but must wait for the moment to go back in time to change history so that he and Amarantha can live and love as he promised. THE CIRCLE OF A PROMISE is a powerful time travel romance that hooks the reader due to the passion of the lead male protagonist (though one must wonder with his obsession how he escaped the men in white). Because readers will feel deeply the loss that Stephen suffers that lives with centuries after his beloved was killed, the audience will root for him to do the seemingly impossible on the wings of eternal love with his Amarantha.

I Really Liked The Circle of a Promise, February 14, 2006
This review is from: The Circle of a Promise (Mass Market Paperback)
I leave the reviews to others but as a reader of books, I must give this author a five star read. The way she told the story was very interesting and unlike any other time travel book I have read.
I shall look for more of her writings.
