I read this book as a hard copy when I bought it off LULU last yaer, and thoroughly enjoyed it. It was such a pleasant surprise to find this wonderful story. If this is a self-published work then it's on a par if not better than most of the mass market romance novels out there.The authour took great care to create these two intriguing characters. Jarath is believable, likeable, and not too perfect like most romance book heroes (he drinks too much) thanks to being married to a scheming witch for the so long.I loved the way Brianna jumped into Alexandra's life through the clouds, and straight into giving birth. Ouch! Then she takes the rest of the book to convince Jarath she isn't really Alexandra, just in Alexandra's body, all the while falling in love.Her modern atributes like jogging are really cute, although I was interested to find out more about her former life before she went into the past. I'm sure there was a reason wny this was never mentioned, other than she didn't lead a very interesting life, but what kind of job she had or a bit about any family she might have left behind might have been interesting.Even though it's been a while now since I actaully read it, I am recalling a great deal, and another good thing about this book was that it didn't get bogged down with pages and pages of sex secenes like so many of the current roamnces seem to, which meant the authour wanted to tell the story about this relationship's developement, rather than take the easy way out by describing erotic sex scenes.
