When Lord Nicholas Falcott, the Marquess of Something-or-other (I finished this book more than a month ago and can't be bothered to go looking up piddling details like that) is about to be killed on the battlefield in Spain in 1812, he suddenly finds himself transported forward in time about 200 yea...

This book was one I simply could not put down. I was glued to my chair, reading and reading, wanting to know more. I loved Julia and Nick and can not wait to continue their story.

I love reading, but my enjoyment of the activity is somewhat hampered by the fact that I don't like romance very much. And it's EVERYWHERE.

I'll be honest with you, right from the beginning, I'm not one for 'love stories' in my literature: 'girl meets boy, boy's an idiot/oaf/rich egotist, girl pines, boy realises mistake, and hilarity/heartbreak/humping ensues' etc etc. It all bores me witless, especially if there are bonnets or Bennets...

It’s always fun to be surprised by a book you never expected to land on your lap. THE RIVER OF NO RETURN was not a book on my radar until one day I received an email that brightened my eyes and made me determined to read this debut by author Bee Ridgway. It’s a book that blends genres to the point w...

If you like your time travel fiction mixed with a generous dose of historical romance then this is a book you will enjoy. I prefer time travel with humor to keep me laughing and space/time conundrums to keep me thinking--and I can do without magic talismans and characters who are born with special p...
