5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic, May 11, 1999

I have only once before in my life picked up a romance novel before this one (I was 14 and my gramma took it away from me) becauase I was disillusioned with the whole "romance novel" theory. But, when I picked up this book one boring afternoon at work, I COULD NOT PUT IT DOWN!! It is one of the most amazingly fantastic works of literature I have ever read. In, fact it is the reason I am here on this site - looking for others like it. It has broadened my horizons and shown me that while books are categorized and stereotyped, this is one that transcends the norm!!! I SUGGEST EVERYONE READ THIS BOOK!!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Romance with Humor - What a potent combination!, April 23, 2000

I loved this book. The plot itself was good, but the interaction between the hero and heroine was magnificent, and very funny! A Dance Through Time introduces some of the ideas in the book, and I would recommend reading that one first. But, this book can certainly stand on its own. (I read this book first, and I wasn't lost. But reading the first book gives you more insight into the story.) A very good book I would recommend.

4.0 out of 5 stars Exciting, funny and sensual without sleaze., July 31, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Very Thought of You (Paperback)

I usually stay away from romance novels told from the male point of view, but this was delightfully funny; I really enjoyed being inside Alex's head throughout these adventures. I enjoyed Meg's strength and found the glimpses into her vulnerability touching; this was not the usual story of a knight in shining armour come to rescue the poor helpless modern woman, but a self-sufficient woman who would be an equal partner for Alex in any century. I did feel a bit left out, not having read the Jamie/Elizabeth story first; the science/magic of time travel was not sufficiently explained for my taste and sense of logic. But overall I really found it a great read - I'll never think of Godiva chocolate in the same way!
