Summary: a very sweet and funny book
Comment: This book is a sequel to "A Dance Thru Time". This is Alex Smith's story. He is the brother to the heroine from "A Dance Thru Time". Alex is bored and goes off on his own trying to find a transport to sunny Barbados only to find himself transported back in time. Here he encounters quite a few interesting characters. The one that has him the most facinated and bewildered is Margaret of Falconberg. She is a strong, self assured woman who has been protecting her keep and people by herself for far to long. She longs for a mate to help her on her journey thru life but is fearful of giving up control. She doesn't realize what a beauty she is and this makes her all the more beautiful.
Alex is a thorn in her side. He has strange ways, his speech, his mode of dress and his vow never to pick up a sword again. He has her totally confused by his actions as well. He is also effected by Margaret.He is strongly attracted to her but knows that he can't stay in her time.
This is a wonderful romance. Its funny and tender, exciting and thrilling. I look forward to others in the series.

Summary: Not the Best Kurland book
Comment: Alexander Smith is a modern day man who has made a ton of money in the cut throat business world as something of a corporate raider. While visiting relatives in Scotland he finds a map in his brother-in-law's study indicating time travel 'portals'. Thinking that after 30 plus days of rain he could end up in sunny Barbados (which was clearly noted on the map) as enough of an incentive, Alexander to considers giving it a try. He hops on his horse, heads out to the land marked faery ring, somehow makes a wrong turn and ends up in Medieval England.
Clearly recognizing that this was not Barbados, and failing to return home, Alexander realizes that he must have a mission to complete before he can leave. Then he meets Lady Margaret of Falconberg, a spirited amazon of a woman determined to protect her home from the dreaded Ralf de Brackwald. Dressed in chain mail and brandishing all kinds of weapons Margaret thinking she has captured Edward, the brother of her enemy, she kidnaps him from the Brackwald keep. Instead, she ends up with Alex! What follows is the tale of their courtship.
Now having read all of the de Piaget family series books by Lynn Kurland which were so very emotional, sensitive, and moving, I have to say, I was somewhat disappointed in the flatness of this book and these characters. Margaret, having led a tough life and holding together her property for 10 years after the death of her father had to be tough, but I have to say that she did not come off as a very endearing person to me. I didn't feel any warmth of character with her and I only got a little emotional with Alex when he saved the 3 year old Amery. The character of Margaret's bard, Baldric, I also felt was flat and his verse was not very enjoyable. There were numerous secondary characters in this tale, but I couldn't raise my enthusiasm level up enough to jump into the melee. It wasn't until nearly the end of the book when Alex's family came looking for them that I felt more life in the tale. I will read more of Kurland's MacLeod series, but honestly must say that I did not enjoy this one as much as all those in the de Piaget family series and cannot enthusiastically recommend this particular book.

Summary: Disappointing and dull
Comment: I bought this book after reading all these great reviews, so I was completely stunned when it turned out to be a real snooze. It has a great premise, but nothing really happens. The heroine & hero are flat and uninteresting. The dialog is windy and boring. Their romance is bland, inactive, uninspiring, and sloooowww. No spark. A missed opportunity. I tried very hard to stick with it but had to resort to skimming about 1/2 way through. Can't recommend.
