Editorial Reviews

Review

"An exciting ride into the past! Robin Bayne takes her readers onto the other side of history to show that Time, itself, can be fickle! Full of twists, action, and romance, this book will definitely please all us lovers of time travel romances!" -- Huntress Book Reviews

"Four Stars! Ms. Bayne has written a winner! The attraction between Leia and Brant send sparks flying and the story is so engrossing that I lost all track of time and read the entire book in one sitting. The supporting characters were magnificent especially Hattie and Martin. A most enjoyable read and I look forward to reading more from Ms. Bayne." -- Scribesworld

"In The Will of Time, Robin Bayne starts with a clever premise, interweaves touches of humor and sensuality with the history, and wraps it all up in an intriguingly intricate plot that compelled me to follow Brant, Leia and many other memorable characters, to an edge-of-your-seat climax and a heart-touching conclusion. I'm waiting impatiently for Robin's next romance." -- Linda Shertzer, author of Mended Hearts

"THE WILL OF TIME is a thrilling Time Travel, set near Baltimore, MD, that will give the reader no rest until they finish the last page of this fast-paced, page turner! Robin Bayne weaves her special magic and conjurs up suspense, eternal romance, war issues regarding slavery, a full cast of characters with Civil War viewpoints, and a mystical portal that allows time travelers access to all sorts of adventures, in this world and in the past." -- Calico Trails

"The Will of Time is a charming read, thoroughly engaging the reader. Robin Bayne is an author readers are sure to fall in love with." -- Diane Johnson, former Sr. Reviewer for Romantic Times Magazine

"The Will of Time was a heartwarming story that showed the power of love in the face of fear and old hatreds. Ms. Bayne has created a wonderful time travel device in this story, one that's believable and interesting and incredibly poignant in the history of the setting--Civil War Maryland. I truly enjoyed reading this debut romance from a promising new author." -- Terri Brisbin, author of A LOVE THROUGH TIME, Jove Time Passages

5.0 out of 5 stars An Outstanding Time Travel Romance, October 17, 2000

A Kid's Review

This review is from: The Will of Time (Diskette)

...This time travel romance by Robin Bayne is full of history, relationships, and wonder. The author slides Leia Graham from modern Westmister, Maryland to the same town during the era of the American Civil War. Using the magic of a costume prepared for a modern Gettysburg reenactment, the author slides Leia through a kind of reverse Underground Railroad in the basement of the home she is visiting. Confused and out of her time period, Leia passes herself off as a widow recently arrived from Baltimore. Rather than restate the plot, let me tell you what is outstanding about this book. First is author's creation of Leia herself, who manages to convince those in the past that she belongs by using her own ingenuity and her knowledge of the Civil War Time period. The author not only develops an outstanding love relationship between Leah and Brant, but she develops a solid relationship of respect between Leia and the non-slave African-American maid, Hettie. This is a more mature relationship than between Scarlett and Mammie in *Gone with the Wind* because Ms. Bayne's characters are more rational, perhaps even more intelligent. I like the way other characters handle Leia accidental use of modern terms like "ego" and "flashlight." Leah tries to cover-up gracefully, but Brant is amused. The author handles a number of time and character point-of-view shifts so smoothly that one hardly notices the change. The book is filled with twists in the past and turns in the present, yet Ms. Bayne maintains an emotional intensity and she keeps the story rolling in both time periods. Like most good writers, Ms. Bayne handles the male and female points of view with equal dexterity. The lovemaking is handled tastefully at a G or PG-13 level, but there is no doubt about what is going on. This is an outstanding time-travel romance, by an author who should soon be discovered by a large public.
