Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

Although 90-minute abridgments do neither the genre nor the stories justice, both of these audiobooks manage to capture the essence of the books. Time-Kept Promises is one of the original and best time-travel romance novels. The heroine journeys from the 1980s to the 1780s and back again, taking the hero with her on the return trip. Nevada Dawn is a historical Western romance. The heroine is every inch a spoiled young woman who meets her match in the half-breed Nevada. The latter audiobook is heavily abridged, and the dialog is often more amusing than touching. However, narrator Erin Lee reads sans dramatics, and her excellent performance enables the words to dictate the emotions. Time-Kept Promises is read by Victoria Prime. Her perky voice is almost too cute for the role, but she eventually settles down and allows the story to lead her. Although neither program is fantastic, both are quite good. Public libraries may want to try several selections in the publisher's series in order to spike interest in these popular authors.?Jodi L. Israel, Westwood, Mass.

4.0 out of 5 stars 1st OFF Amazon's brief description is for the wrong book!!!!, July 5, 2002

This review is from: Time-Kept Promises (Paperback)

TRUE DESCRIPTION OF BOOK: A DISTANT PAST; Kristine Gavin was depressed about turning thirty until she received a most unusual gift from her brother. It was a portrait he'd found in the attic of their family home in Virginia, a portrait of a woman who must have been their ancestor; judging from Kris' resemblance to the beauty. But it wasn't the painting that intrigued Kris....And old newspaper clipping about the woman's strange disappearance caught within the frame drew her in. Just as Kris was uncovering a fascinating secret from the past she sensed a change in the air-and found herself thrown back in time into a strange room, staring into the eyes of the sexiest man she had ever seen!
AN UNCERTAIN FUTURE; Sean O'Mara froze when he saw his wife Christia standing before him. She had vanished and the news had written about in all of the papers-he had been charged with her murder!

MY REVIEW: I liked it... it started out to be very interesting and continued for the most part to carry it's worth. I realized that this book was one of THE 1st Time Travel books that were written and I read it as such. If you have the opportunity to get your hands on this one please do, it doesn't have a lot of humor but Kris is smart and makes the most of her situation (you'll understand this comment better once you read the book) What I didn't like was the time spent in his time is so short.... I would have rather had her time there be longer and not so much time spent in present day. Overall a good read I don't know if I would consider it a "keeper" though.

This review is from: Time-Kept Promises (Audio Cassette)

The book was thrilling. It was a real page turner. I read it over five years ago and I still remember it. I've been looking fort it for years because it's such a thrilling book. And it ends quite nicely.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good but isn't a keeper!, January 3, 2002

This review is from: Time-Kept Promises (Audio Cassette)

I liked this audio cassette recording of Constance O'Day Flannery's Time-Kept Promises and I liked the story about the modern day lady named Kris Gavin being transprted back in time and meeting Sean O'Mara and Sean thinking that Kris is his missing lookalike wife who apparently is not a nice person so that would explain why Sean is so rude to Kris and why he is so shocked that the person he thinks is his cold hearted wife is so much nicer and you can understand his being cynical. Though I liked this story I didn't think it was a keeper.
