— Charity, 2/18/2014" Gotta admit--I love time travel books! This one was a very fun read--good beach read. "
— Janice, 2/9/2014" This is the first romance novel I read that I liked. I was 16 and before that I'd read some of my mom's Daniellel Steele which I disliked. Due to this book I'm still a fan of Jude Deveraux. "
— Sheery, 2/5/2014" This is one of my all-time favorite romances, because it involves believable characters, and time-travel back to 1600's England. There is the traditional happy ending, but it's not what you'd expect!! "
— ccbreland, 2/5/2014" Absolutely the best book ever written!!! I have read it over and over and will read it again. "
— Mary, 1/21/2014" I first read this book in high school and recently re-read it. It is one of my fave romance novels. I especially like the end... "
— Elena, 1/21/2014" This book is very odd. It reads like a travel guide to England, the prose frequently stops to tell the reader facts about life in Britain, and differences with America, not from the POV Of the character but just because the author feels we need to know. I understand that the book is aimed at American audiences but there are better ways to explain things than to just tell them as a By The Way, Guys. "
— Flossiepots, 1/19/2014" I don't generally read romance but this book is AMAZING. "
— Aly, 1/16/2014" Are you KIDDING me? I go through the entire book and they don't even end up together? I usually love Jude, and I know this is considered her greatest novel, but I can't deal with it. Booooooo!!! "
— Jody, 1/16/2014" Loved this book. Have reread over the years many times. "
— Chrissy, 1/9/2014" This has a suprise ending you've never seen in a romance novel. And while it didn't sweep me off myfeet the first time, upon reading it a second time I changed my mind and it's been in the re-read pile ever since. "
