This had everything I like in a Paranormal romance. The characters were realistic, these folks weren't prettied up for the romance, they had real problems, and real responses to their problems. Sometimes they plummeted to the depths of despair which many can identify with, but together they make a new life full of promise. The heroine was fiesty, the hero very sexy, lots of humor, oh geez when Laura was making the hamburgers and Corby's women relatives all hovered to make sure she wasn't going to poison the kids, I was rolling on the floor. There was lots of humor, and suspense, evil villians, and you learned a little of native American history to boot. The fact that Laura kept bouncing between times everytime she hit her head added a extra dimesion to the plot as it totally confuses Hillhouses in both centuries. I love the way the 20th century twins, Laura's best buddies, Galen and Jake work in the future to make things work for Laura in the past. The scene where Jake uses his myticism to reach Laura in the past and save the day is totally awesome. This book is unique. I want more, perhaps a Galen story with someone who knows Laura and Jake traveling forward to meet up with Galen (oh please include Jake in this one). I also like to know the story behind Jason and Starr. ----------Leslie Tramposch -Pghromance

5.0 out of 5 stars Barbara Sheridan is destined to go far!, October 17, 1999

This review is from: Timeless Wish (Mass Market Paperback)

What a great first book! Timeless Wish is both Barbara Sheridan's first published novel, and a time travel, which makes her accomplishment doubly meaningful. The difficulties inherent in the concept of time-travel sometimes result in a poorly-knitted plot and flat, unbelievable characters. It is much harder to write a good time-travelogue than it is to write a good main-line romance. Barbara Sheridan has written an excellent time-travel romance novel, and she did it on the first try.

Timeless Wish is written in a style reminiscent of Linda Lael Miller at her best, with a flavor of the Western lore of Dorothy Garlock. It is a fast-paced, imaginative plot with many twists, peopled with living, breathing, very believable characters. The heroine, 20th Century Laura Bennett, is slowly recovering from past destructive relationships. The hero, 19th Century Sheriff Corby Hillhouse, is not recovering very well from losing two wives and is unable to show his love to his little daughter, fearing to lose her too. Both these lonely people make a wish upon a star on New Year, a hundred years apart. The rest is history... An engrossing and thoroughly satisfying read. I expect we shall hear more about this author in the near future. Good job, Barbara!

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best books I've ever read. A MUST for every woman, June 24, 1999

This review is from: Timeless Wish (Mass Market Paperback)

Barbara Sheridan's "Timeless Wish" is one of the best books I have read in a long time. It has everything: adventure, time travel, martial arts, Native Americans, a take-no-prisoners heroine, bad guys, good guys, modern times, the olden days, strong friendships, and most of all, sizzling romance! Whether you love Romance, Native American studies, or the paranormal, this book's got it all!

Don't start this book at night unless you have the next day off, because you WON'T be able to put it down! In the 2 months I've owned it, I've read it twice.

Ms. Sheridan is the next big writer. Smarter than Collins, sexier than Steele, Ms. Sheridan writes intelligently, while still offering plenty of humor, action, and love.
