Could have done without the time travel aspect,
By SusieQ (New York) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Shades of the Past (Paperback)
For me, the plot of this Regency was strong enough without the time travel. The time travel doesn't really hurt the way the story moves along, but it's not a necessary factor. Ms. Heath does do a skillful job in describing the heroine's feelings as she goes back & forth. But I think I would have enjoyed it more as straight Regency with the wrongfully manipulated heroine/trick-the-hero plot. Ending kind of veers into melodrama, but that's the kind of plot it is. This was my first time reading anything by this author and I do look forward to reading more of her work. Even though this review isn't the strongest rave, I confirm that I enjoyed the author's storytelling ability and the tension between the hero and heroine.

Past meets present -- a good trip if you don't ask how!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Shades of the Past (Paperback)
Much less detailed than many of Sandra Heath's other novels,
this one follows an American actress who's unlucky in love
and out of work as she travels to London using a recent
inheritance. Money is not all she inherits as her ancestry
vaults her back in time where she finds true love. Unfortunately,
the length of the book doesn't allow this competent author
to develop either location sufficiently.

Unsuccessful mixing of regency and present time,
By A Customer
This review is from: Shades of the Past (Paperback)
Although I love both regency and time travelling novels, I must say that this book is a rather poor combination of the two of them and would have been better without the time travelling part. The present day heroine is kind of sex-starved, the transitions between present and past are unconvincing and sometimes even confusing. The regency part (with a regency heroine) itself would have been a nice enough story.
