I read this book as part of an anthology. I wouldn't have bought it independently because time travel romances don't appeal to me. I figured I'd read a couple of paragraphs and if it didn't grab me I'd jump to the next story. There was no jumping and I had great difficulty putting it down and only did so for sleep. It was a light, happy, incredibly romantic story. I'm thrilled it was in the Romance Through the Ages anthology. I have since gone back and bought some of Ms. Darcy's other books. I wish I could articulate exactly why I was so engaged to help people make informed purchasing choices. It was a happy feel good read. I enjoyed the characters. The story may have been predictable to some - personally I don't consider that a criticism in a romance book as long as I enjoy the ride - but I didn't notice because I so enjoyed the ride and wanted to see how it all played out. Oh, there was plenty of tingles, spreading heat and passionate kisses without graphic sex so that alone won my lifelong loyalty as a reader. If this is any indication of what her other books are like I will eventually read my way through them all. Highly recommended for those days you just need a happy get away!
