This is my favorite book ever! It was given to me by a neighbor some 15 years ago, I read it then and still now I will revisit the characters. The main characters are wonderfully described and their personalities are delightful. This story has highs and lows, twists and turns, and some unexpected outcomes. But most of all it has love. Thinking about this story even now makes my eyes tear up. Find this book and read it, it's a classic, andI believe you will really enjoy it.

This is one of those romance books that you pick up on a whim, but that for some reason, ends up staying with you forever. I've read this book twice -- the first time just because it came across my path and the second time because I had forgotten why I liked it so much and why I still remembered it.

Since I've read it, I've encountered that there is a whole genre of romance books that uses the whole time travel ploy, but this was my first time reading that so it sticks as a good read to me.

If I had a rainy summer day with nothing else to do, I'd probably pick it up again...it's just one of those...

My very favorite love story. Just enough history to make it sound plausible. The time travel worked for me. Also, who doesn't want a love that will survive thru the years, many many years.

The book was very entertaining. I really enjoyed both parties entering each others eras and dealing with the differences from their own time. I got so wrapped up in the story, I felt as if I was part of it. Excellent job in taking me away from reality and living in a fantasy for awhile.

This has to be my favorite all-time time-travel romance book.

The heroine was pitiful. The knight in shining armor was a chauvinist who quite literally slept with (or tried to sleep with) every minor female character in the book. I kept wondering what Dougless saw in Nicholas. I was never enamored by him and never rooted for them to just make it work.

The time travel doesn't make sense. Maybe The Big Bang Theory is getting to me; but if Nicholas were to time-travel from 1564 to 1989, then Dougless were to time-travel from 1989 to 1560, the Nicholas from 1564 would have already known the Dougless from 1560...it would not have been the other way around.

Sorry, but that bugged me throughout the entire book.

How was Dougless able to take her travel bag with her? I wasn't able to suspend belief long enough to believe she was rescued by travel size toiletries.

Finally, she used the public fountain as her personal shower. She contaminated everybody's water for her own benefit.

Some things just never make sense.
