This book was appropriately categorized by the publisher as a FANTASY novel. There was another review that referred to it as a romance - not so. Yes, there is a little romantic element to it, but it takes a back seat to the mystery, suspense, fantasy story.

This is a story about Marion Mead, a historical society librarian and part-time novelist. She comes across an old news clip from 1779 concerning a runaway wife, Susanna Grier. The clip ignited her imagination and gave her the inspiration for her next novel. Three chapters into the novel she feels blocked and can't figure out how to proceed with the story. At a whim she places an add in the New York Times book review asking that anyone with historical information pertaining to the Grier family to contact her. A handsome, mysterious Raymond Lord responds to the add. He has an old diary from a member of the family who lived some 100 years after the original news character.

What happens next is the stuff of fantasy. Believe in reincarnation? You will. Believe in ESP? You will. Are these two ill fated people, Marion & Raymond, tragic lovers through time? You'll need to find the answer to that one as you enjoy this WONDERFULLY imaginative tale. I highly recommend this book to any fantasy enthusiast.

It's a romance, of course, and I'm always a sucker for those. This book is suspenceful too, it kept me on the edge of my seat. I didn't want to put it down! I really liked this book.

"Circuit of Heaven" was so intellectually exciting and original that I would have taken any book by Dennis Danvers on faith. But I'm finding it very hard to believe that these two books were written by the same person. Maybe if you like Romance novels "Time and Time Again" would have some appeal. To me, it was sappy, predictable, uninteresting and unengaging. I couldn't get halfway through it. Did he really write this book?

The characters are not sympathetic. The plot is meandering and boring. Don't waste your time.
