Summary: Second story was better.
Comment: I'm giving this book a five because the sex in both stories was deliciously hot. However, I thought Angela Knight's story was by far the stronger of the two. The first story, by Diane Whiteside, was weak on the sci fi aspects of this tale, which made it confusing. It made no attempt to explain why the world and characters they wrote about in their novels were real. I also kept wondering why Corrine never defended herself against Mykh, by pointing out that she can hardly be blamed for harming him when she had no idea she was doing so. Also, Corrine accepts, without wondering or explaining why, that even though she supposedly created Mykh's world, there's so much she doesn't know about it. Also, the way the author described Mykh's world was boring. Nothing happened except ceremony after ceremony, pomp and circumstance after pomp and circumstance.
Angela Knight's story made up for these shortcoming. She is clearly the stronger thinker and writer. Right from the beginning, Celeste behaved as I would expect a woman in her position to behave. Unlike Corrine, she defended herself against Jarred, getting him to admit that holding her responsible didn't make sense since she didn't know the world she was writing about was real. Also, this story spent the necessary time exploring how Celeste and Corrine wound up writing about and manipulating worlds that actually existed (essentially, mental telepathy).
Overall, though, this is a great read.

Summary: Strong heroines and hot heros
Comment: If you like fantasy romantica with a warrior then this book is for you. And if you like science fiction romantica with a military hero this book is for you. Throw in a cocksure dragon and two fiesty heroines and what do you have ... a book you don't want to put down. Each of the heroines is quickwitted and strong - neither of them are passive and take on both of the heros-with many quick verbal parries thrusts and counter thrusts. Not to mention very well written sex scenes-that are guaranteed to bring the characters and you to a quick boil. this is a book that is readable not once, not twice but many times.

Summary: Timeless Tales 5 Star Review
Comment: by Amy L. Turpin
Celeste and Corinne Carson are writers of science and romantic fiction, respectively. Both have created alpha type male heroes and both feel a special connection to their characters. What they don't realize is that their writings are coming true in their hero's universes, a fact they are about to find out in a most alarming way . . .
Jarred Varrain and Mykhayl Rhodyonovich are the tormented characters of the sisters' fantasies. Trapped in a kind of limbo when the girls are brainstorming, and then helpless to change the eventual outcome once back in their own lives, the men have had enough! For ten long years they have had to watch as their lives are plotted and executed with malicious precision, and now the men finally have a chance to take revenge on their tormentors by kidnapping the women and whisking them off to their individual universes.
Mykhayl's dimension is one of magic and fantasy. As he spirits Corinne away from her home, he can think of nothing other than punishing her for his years of suffering. After completely consuming her, he finds she has possession of him as well, a fact that does not sit well with him. He knows her for the sorceress she is, and after the things done to him by another sorceress, he can not trust her--especially with his heart. Corinne knows he can never love her, but the least she can do is to use her newfound skills to reverse the damage she caused in one of her stories. But will her courage and determination be enough to give this mighty king the queen he needs and the son he deserves?
Jarred's universe is one of science and technology. When Celeste finds herself face to face with the gadgets she invented, the reality is more alarming than she could have ever imagined. Especially her ultimate creation--the brawny, sexy, cyborg/human glaring down at her with malice. She knows him as well as he knows himself and when the look she has described a thousand times, the one associated with that of the executioner-Jarred, she is more terrified than she can ever remember being. His intentions, however, are not as grim as her impending death, but he will use her then throw her away . . . so to speak. The sex they share is unlike either of them has ever experienced. Just when it seems Jarred's icy exterior is melting in Celeste's favor, her special powers are revealed to him. He realizes then that she has kept this secret from him for almost the entire time of her stay with him. Knowing Jarred's life will soon be jeopardized, Celeste is determined to keep him from harm--knowing he will never love her. But the danger comes from the most unexpected source and it's up to Celeste to neutralize the threat before it's too late.
Two fabulously written tales, two fabulously written romances! This anthology is written with humor, imagination and a generous amount of love. The beginning grasps the reader's attention immediately and the ending is in no way predictable, but perfectly logical. All the parts in between--well, you'll just have to read it for yourself!
