"As cheesy as the name makes it sound, this is one of the very few books I can read over and over. It's a beautiful and very creative story that keeps you guessing. The ending is bittersweet and makes me cry every time! Definitely worth reading...it's become a favorite of mine for sure."

— RT Reviews" Sorry, I just didn't care for this one. I didn't think the hero was very likeable and I didn't really care for the back and forth between time periods. "
— Vanessa, 2/16/2014" The book was mostly great, though I didn't like the ending that much. "
— Danya, 2/15/2014" This book was one of my first forays into the world of romance novels. It appealed to me due to the fantasy/time travel element, and I find that those are the only ones in this genre that I truly enjoy. I was in high school when I read this, so I think my recollections of it are tainted with sentimentality. "
— Regina, 2/12/2014" Love, love, love this book! I love it so much I have read it 3 times. Which is very unusual for me to even reread a book once! "
— Shari, 2/11/2014" AMAZING time travel book...I wish I could read it again for the first time...you will not be disappointed!!! "
— Sharra, 2/8/2014" I thought it was a good book. There are some smutty parts, but it was done pretty tastefully. I really liked the story line and enjoyed her writing. "
— Leslie, 2/1/2014" Just a fun "beach book.". Enjoyable with enough content to think about without overtaxing oneself. "
— D'Anna, 1/20/2014" First and only romance novel I've ever read really. I was 16 when I read it the first time. Made me want my own knight in shining armor, haven't found him yet..... "
— Carli, 1/11/2014" A fun funny romance where I cheered for the heroine who finally found herself and grew a spine. "

— Eclectic1, 11/30/2013" I have to buy this book. A love that can withstand time. I loved it. "
— Lorie, 11/25/2013" This was the first time-travel romance I ever read and I thought it was great. It has been a long time since I read it, so I am not quite certain how it would compare to todays standards. To me it is definitely a keeper. "
— Fangirl, 11/21/2013" My favorite Jude deveraux book of all times "
— Ginette, 8/5/2013" I loved this book,,it is one of my favorite by her.. "
— Devon, 7/12/2013" I read this book while I was in high school (which is to say, a long, long time ago!), but I still think this is one of the most memorable romance novels I've read. Sweet, funny, smart...with a heroine that reminds women to demand respect and stop being doormats. "
— Pam, 5/19/2013" This is one of my absolute favorites! "
— Donna, 3/14/2013" Of the Jude Deveraux books, this is my favorite. I am a starry eyed romantic and if you've mixed time travel - I am busting at the seams to read it. The characters were so vivid that you could actually reach out and almost touched them. "
— Darny, 12/24/2012" I loved the time-travel aspect of the book and the set of characters that revolved around this storyline. The ending was perfection. Great love story with a splash of suspended reality that's always fun to experience. "
— Arlene, 12/22/2012" I read this a long time ago. The history is great, the story is funny but the book is naughty. "
— Tiffanie, 11/10/2012" This is the book that started me on romance novels. It was the first novel that took me and made me imagine and feel for a character outside of the stories that I made in my head. "
— Teia, 10/11/2012" This is by far one of my favarote books, I read it several years ago and I still remember all the content. Its one of the few books that made me cry. They should make a movie of this book "
— Marianna, 9/24/2012" I'm a sap, but this story is awesome. (Except the ending.) I read it before I started my reading project, and it's really poorly written but somehow still entertains me! I've read it twice and have it on my Nook to reread. :) "
— Mabel, 6/7/2012" A little sappier than I remember from the first read, but enjoyable! Four out of five for a nice flight of fancy! "
— April, 4/8/2012" The characters were pretty uninspiring and the story was a little boring. Had maybe read a 50 pages when I scanned ahead to see if it got any better and I discovered it was a smut novel:).lad I didn't waste any more time! I'll need to stick to the list of clean romances. "
— Lindsey, 4/8/2012" I am not into romance novels but this is one of my favorite book to read. I've read this many times and i still cry. "

— Katherine, 8/26/2011" I really enjoyed this book. Beware of 2 steamy scenes. "
— Brooke, 8/9/2011" This is my all time favorite romance, my mom bought it for me in high school and I have read it so many times that it is starting to fall apart. I love the idea of soul mates always finding each other. "

— Janice, 4/26/2011" My favorite romance novel of all time! One of the few books I've actually re-read. "
— Paula, 4/25/2011" I read it first when it came out back in the late 80's and have re read it so many times with each read just as fantastic. <br/> <br/>Its one of those books that impact you and stays with you forever. Love or hate the ending- it is a romance <em>must read</em>. "
— Zeek, 4/22/2011" i loved it ... it is actually the only novel i cried while reading it, it's more than amazing and don't try to guess what will happen next, though u should know that it's a romance novel, it should end kind of happily .... =))<br/> "
— Samar, 4/17/2011" A book I treasure. Lost my first copy HAD to go get another. The story will stay with you and make anyone a believer that anything in the world is possible . "
— Vicki, 4/8/2011" I am not a big romance-fiction reader but this book is one big exception. It shows how love is timeless and will withstand anything and it ended perfectly!! There is also the time-travel aspect of it that convinced me to read it in the first place. I read it every year. "
— Christina, 3/29/2011" This was the very first book I have ever read by Jude Deveraux... and after reading it I was hooked. I loved her style of writing and the characters she created. I have been a constant follower since reading so many years go. "
— Jenni, 3/26/2011" I would say this book is about a 3.75.... <br/>I really enjoyed the story although at one point I felt compelled to skip a few pages because it felt like I was just trudging through, then wonderfully, the story picked back up. "
