Summary: A TOUCH OF MAGIC MAKES ROMANTIC FANTASIES POSSIBLE
Comment: "The Changeling Bride" takes a modern woman and puts her in the midst of a century long past. This is a delightful concept for me, as a regular romance novel reader. After all, what are we doing when we read stories of this genre if not quietly longing for a different type of world, and putting ourselves in the place of the heroine? This book uses a traditional romance format and twists it - using a bit of magic - so that the fantasy becomes a bit more plausible.
Ms. Cach also addresses several things in the plot that are conspicuously absent from other historical romance novels I have read, yet have always wondered about in the back of my mind. Namely, the issue of birth control, type of food available, and those embarrassing but necessary bodily functions. She attacks each subject with a touch of humor as well as practicality that makes for an interesting and entertaining tale.
The best thing about the book, however, is the heroine herself. Because she is from our day and age, one can relate to her with ease. She is not a tiny-waisted and naive virgin, but a robust, healthy and somewhat cynical woman of modern America. We all dream about another day and age, but what would we do if we were truly given the 'opportunity' to experience it? "The Changeling Bride" offers us a glimpse into what the realities of the 1700's were, while maintaining the romantic aura necessary for a truly good read.
I highly recommend this book and look forward to other titles by Ms. Cach.

Summary: Fairy-assisted time travel didn't work for this reader
Comment: Maybe it's because I had just finished reading TIMELINE by Michael Crichton, but I had trouble buying into the concept of fairy-assisted time travel. I like the idea of modern women finding themselves in some distant past, trying to cope with the necessary changes in lifestyle, and certainly Lisa Cach did a fine job of writing heroine Elle's dilemmas. But the story never really took off for me. I liked the hero, Henry, a lot more than Elle did for most of the book, and while I sympathized with her dilemma, I found her actions and words too often cruel. Mainly, though, I just couldn't get behind the idea of a trip to the past courtesy of a fairy coupon for a free husband.
