Summary: Thrilling and Romantic
Comment: I agree w/ the reviewer who thinks this novel deserves to be a film. The writing was rich, the plot was exciting, and the love story was romantic. This is one of the best time-travel novels I have read--fantastic, yet realistic. Very enjoyable.
Rating: 5
Summary: In the Defense of a Tragic Queen
Comment: What a job well done by an emerging new writer! Jill Jones not only captivated thousands of avid readers just like me but also provided a very interesting tapestry of a time when Scotland is besieged by the Puritan leader, Oliver Cromwell. Miss Jones actually "turned back the hands of time" when she showed the readers how is it like to live in a world chiefly governed by ignorance. Imagine a boy of ten such as Pauley who don't even know how to speak accused of being the "bairn" of a witch, and modern-day thrill seekers being transported back in time through the Ladysgate burned alive! What a nice place to be! But most of all, aside from the "timeless fairy-tale love stroy" of Duncan and Taylor (Mrs. Janet Fraser), lies a "truth" somewhat rejected by almost everyone reading the pages of history: the innocence of Mary, Queen of Scots. The story is not much about Greta's stupidity, Robert Gordon's "thievery", the Ogilvies' loyalty, and Lady Keith's long lost relative but rather on how history for so long looked down on a woman who's purely a victim of treachery and odd circumstances sorrounding her tragic life. "Queen Mary is innocent!", that is the message of the fabled chalice. A must-read book of a very talented writer!

Summary: Scottish Rose Past and Present
Comment: What a thrill when this book finally came out. Once again, Jill Jones has done an excellent job of entwining history with the present. While holding the reader's attention with an interesting plot and descriptions that paint vivid pictures with words, she titilates the desire to study the history of Scotland and England. An entertaining and informative writing that makes it easy to get involved with the characters.
