This is a time travel book that takes place during the Revolutionay War. The Hero is a Rebel or Patriot depending on your point of view. The Heroine (Peobe) is a lost soul in the 20th century. She goes to a costume party and is transported back in time Thus beginning her adventure.Adn as in all good Romances she falls in love, faces crisis in love and situation, is saved and saves the hero and eventually lives happily ever after.

THe book was different than I was expecting but I enjoyed it very much. Personally I would have liked a bit more history in the context of the book. The intimate scenes were a bit repeatative and one sided. Other than that it was a good read. I was never board.

This is a time-travel historical romance. I really enjoyed this book. It does have a few steamy scenes, albeit between a soon-to-be married then married couple. Great story, hard to put down!

Time Travel romance set in Revolutionary War America. I enjoyed it. The only problem I had with it is that I never really connected to the characters - never really felt myself caring what happened. A shame because it had a lot of potential, but still a good STORY.

This is one of my favorites by her. Every year or so I reread it for a wonderful adventure and a chance to escape into a lovely fantasy.

My book seems to have a different cover, but it is the book Pirates. Maybe a first one out. Anyone who is a Linda Lael Miller fan knows how she writes. I have read most of her books except for the westerns. I do not care for westerns. This one, though, is a good read

When a Caribbean getaway is touched by star-crossed magic, a love beyond one woman's dreams takes flight....

Phoebe Turlow needs to get out of Seattle and forget about the man she just divorced, her dwindling finances, and the lonely nights that stretch ahead of her. But she can't forsee what awaits her on Paradise Island... Duncan Rourke, known to historians as "the pirate patriot," has been dead for two centuries - or at least he's supposed to be. But when unsuspecting Phoebe steps out of a van, into a run-down island hotel, and into his world, neither Phoebe nor her sexy pirate can envision the glorious adventure that is about to sweep them away. They know only that they have found each other, and a grand passion, across the chasm of time . . . and they fear ony the moment whent the magic they have discovered may vanish.
