Oh yeah, Bleh! it is., September 28, 2003
Well, I am a BIG Jude fan, I have read EVERY book she has ever written, however, I am here to tell ya, I am not going to buy another of her books automatically. This book promised so much, but delivered so little, yeah Adam and Bo are missing, nothin gets resolved with that. She doesn't get ANY information about them at all, just that her helping someone else MAY lead her to her beloved husband.
That's another thing. If he is so beloved, what in the hell is she doin lusting after another man throughout the whole book? I mean seriously, I am married, I am NOT saying that I don't look at nice looking men, but I do NOT actively lust after them.
I know she is supposed to be human, but sheesh, every other page? She was lookin at his butt, abs, shoulders, pecs, etc. If she wants him so much, then jump on him and just leave Adam to his fate. I did enjoy parts of this book but it just...stopped suddenly with nothing else happening. Wham!! And then the blurb about the next in the series. And, from what I can see, it has NOTHING to do with Darci, Adam, Bo, or even Linc. GRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's not a romance, but it's pretty good..., November 25, 2003
I selected this book randomly off the shelf at the bookstore. I was really desperate for a good book. I was an avid reader of JD's earlier work (Velvet Series, Knight in Shining Armor)and loved them all. I've really tried to get into the new way she's writing with little success. So now I've read the book I chose and I was very surprised. I actually liked it. I love the way the whole story is written in 1st person. It's like you actually experience what the characters are feeling. With the 3rd person POV it's hard to *really* get to know a character. I absolutley loved Linc. This is the first "romance" novel that I have read with one of the main characters being African-American. It's quite refreshing to read something different than the norm. You get time-travel, ghosts, villians, and other characters wrapped up into one neat little book.
Other reviews have stated that you have to read Forever first. This isn't true. I did not read Forever (I probably will go back and read it though) and understand everything that was going on. Not once was I lost or found something hard to understand.
Just remember, so you won't be disappointed later on, this book, or any of her newer books, is NOTHING like her earlier work. The book's spine says romance, but it definately is not that. It's a really good story about a woman looking for her husband.

Don't waste your time on this book, November 4, 2003
I wish I could have had some of that True Persuasion to make me like this book. If it wasnt' for the fact that I have never not finished a book I started, I would have thrown this in the fire. Now, Im disappointed that I didn't. A complete waste of my time. I have never finished a book and felt mad and confused at the same time. Horrible Ms. Deveraux! And I am a huge fan!
