Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

Dressed for a night on the streets as a "leather girl"?complete with spiky green hair and chains?undercover police detective Cara Marsdale tumbles through time and ends up unconscious in Regency London at the feet of a much amazed Earl of Harrington. Murder, witchcraft, and deception are all part of this funny, suggestive Regency. Returning to the setting of her earlier time travel Regency (The Door Ajar, Zebra, 1995), which might be helpful to read first, Overfield has spun another superb romance that readers will be waiting for. Overfield is a popular writer of Regencies.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Delightfully Humorous Romance, December 3, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Time's Tapestry (Paperback)

This book captured my interest because it combined two of my favorite types of Romance - Time Travel and Regency. I was delighted to find out that it was humorous as well. I could not put the book down. I got a kick out of the hilarious antics of the heroine "Cara" when she was trying to adjust to the life and times of Regency England. As an avid fan of Life in Regency England, I believe that the author had a strong grasp on how life was in those days and seeing a modern day female trying to "Fit In" kept me rolling on the floor with laughter. The parts I read to my husband, made him laugh as well. The Hero "Stephen" was better in this story than any other Time Travel I have read because he knew where she came from and was trying to keep an "open mind." Of course, being sexy and handsome did help as well. Great Job Joan Overfield!

This review is from: Time's Tapestry (Paperback)

This book is a book two which can be enjoyed whether you read "The Door Ajar" or not. "The Door Ajar" is about Cara's brother and the women who comes from the past to be his wife. "Time's Tapestry is about Cara. She is a modern British police officer. And she ends up back in her sister-in-law's time.

3.0 out of 5 stars This book was amusing and very engaging!, August 9, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Time's Tapestry (Paperback)

I really liked this book, however it took me a while to adjust to the English way of talking. The female character is from London and the male from old traditions of royal titles. So the two main characters always had a lot to say, but always kept their feelings at bay. The time period was interesting and very fact based. It made you think what might happen and I couldn't seem to figure out the storyline which kept me on my toes. I was glad when all is well in the end.
