I very much like the time travel premise and thought that Reflections of Toddsville was nicely writen (save some typos...who proofs Hollie's books anyhow?) and it ended superbly.

So I was looking forward to the second in the series...it's got a wonderful - intriguing plot and I enjoy that very much...but why the heck does she have to overdo the sex? Enough already- the story is good enough to stand on it's own, if I wanted a purely romance novel I'd just look for that instead!

I have read every book H. Van Horne has written, and I swear no two are alike. Each Time Travel book is its own story totally unique with great characters you never really forget. I still think about Cuyler and Trudy, and I read Reflections of Toddsville months ago. I love the minor characters: Sam and Jim Cooper and Bruce Wainwright who pop up in each book. Sam is in Wild Roses for Miss Jane too and up to his usual wild self. I thought Jane was an incredible heroine and Captain Garrett Michaels was...hot! I like all the books. But, this one is the most adventurous and romantic so far, and if you love romance, pirates, and HOT steamy Caribbean nights on soft beaches...well...you need to get this book. I suggest all of the books in the Time Travelers series, and Speak of the Dead also. I can't wait for the next book in the series McKnight's Revenge.

This is the second book I have read by Hollie Van Horne and I love both of them!! Each book has its own unique story with super characters and great plots!! I really enjoy how Ms. Van Horne has incorporated Sam and Jim Cooper into each book. The main character Jane Engle is a very likeable heroine and Captain Garrett Michaels is just well...sigh...very lovable and can I say super duper hot!! This book (WILD ROSES FOR MISS JANE) has more adventure than the first one and I agree with the other reviewers that this book is so much more romantic than the first!! PLEASE...PLEASE read this book if you love sexy romance, hot pirates and adventure!!

I met the author at Beaver Valley Mall and purchased WHEN WE DO MEET AGAIN. I have read all of the books in the series as well as SPEAK OF THE DEAD and MISS JANE is my favorite. I have read it over and over again. What can I say! A handsome pirate, a tropical paradise, and a feisty heroine. My book is dogeared from reading it again and again. Romance reader heaven! Thanks Hollie.

Oh dear, initial premise good, 1800's school marm reads 17th century pirate tale and ends up on pirates ship. I do not have enough English Major in me to figure out what exactly is wrong with this book, but it read as very flat, almost like reading a play and trying to inject emotion from the page into a character, very exhausting and ultimately not worth the effort.
