Summary: AWAKEN, MY LOVE
Comment: In AWAKEN, MY LOVE, Robin Schone mixes fantasy and reality to create that erotic perfection of which most people only dream.
Elaine Metcliff, a sexually unfulfilled modern-day woman, wakes up one morning in the 19th century and in the home and body of the very frigid Morrigan, Lady Arlcotte. To say that Elaine wakes up in a situation akin to a nightmare would be the ultimate understatement. Aunt Hattie, her main caretaker, is obnoxious in more ways than one. Her new "husband," Charles, appears to be displeased, though fascinated, with her. And her body now has a small deformity which is causing mobility problems.
Meanwhile, Charles has been very dissatisfied with Morrigan's lack of sexual appetite. When he sees Elaine, she's in Morrigan's body, so he has no way of knowing she's a different person. Yet he detects something has changed and he begins an earnest pursuit.
As Elaine keeps up the pretense because no one will believe the truth, she tries desparately to return to her "time." Then as the undeniable romantic persuasions of Charles continue, she feels to submit to him would be adulterous to both her real husband and to Charles' missing wife. Finally, as she accepts her situation and experiences Charles' expert lovemaking, she finds total fulfillment.
In addition to the fantasy of "body swapping," AWAKEN, MY LOVE is made more complicated and interesting with issues of child abuse, demonic possession, insanity and overly zealous relatives. The conclusion alone is worth the 5-star rating.
Ms. Schone mixes real romance with beautifully written eroticism. The book is well worth reading.

Summary: EROTICA, ROMANCE AND MYSTERY--WHAT A COMINATION!
Comment: Robin Schone writes the best erotic love scenes I've ever read in any romance book (or fem porn, for that matter)! I couldn't believe the opening to this book (I'll just say that according to surveys most people do it but few people admit it)! What a way to time-travel!
Ms. Schone sure captured my fantasy! Elaine wakes up in another century, in another woman's body, in another man's bed (wasn't there a song like that?). I sure wouldn't mind waking up seventeen years younger in a body that doesn't have to fight celulite. Especially if I woke up to a man who is skilled in Tantric love making, like Charles is. The PILLOW BOOK scene is awesome!
The action just keeps getting hotter and hotter and tenser and tenser. What happened to Elaine's real body? Where is the woman who rightfully belongs to the one Elaine was transmigrated into? Was the young woman really insane--like her crazy relatives claim--or is she as much a victim as Elaine?
The only thing more surprising than the opening to AWAKEN, MY LOVE is the ending.
I agree with the woman in South Africa, this book is a refreshing change from traditional historical romances. It is not a book for the faint of heart! I'm just sad that Ms. Schone doesn't have any other books out. I heard on a list that she has one coming out soon, though. If it's just half as original and erotic as AWAKEN, MY LOVE, I will be in readers' heaven!

Summary: ok for a debut novel . .
Comment: I read The Lady's Tutor by the same author before getting this novel and have to say that the writer has improved much with time. Awaken my Love is her debut novel and is a Time Travel / paranormal romance which showed a lot of promise in the beginning but left too many loose ends. Elaine, waking up in beautiful Morrigan's body, is way too intimidated by everyoe. Although the possibility of being committed to an insane asylum loomed large to influence her actions, she didn't show much spine for a large part of the novel. Charles at times seemed really attractive as a hero and at other times just too much like a nutcase himself . . . shooting between romancing his wife to insulting her! And did he ever figure out anything was wrong, considering that Elaine for a few pages was so very convinced that he did?? The erotica is good and this is what Schone is noted for in her later works. The humor is good but as a time travel it did fall a bit short. In that area it is still hats off to Karen Marie Moning but where it comes to her later erotic romances Schone leaves other authors behind in the dust!!
