Loathe as I am to interrupt the love fest (it's weird, most of the reviewers read  and love many of the same books -- what are the odds?), I didn't enjoy this very much.  It's a romance told from the point of view of the daughter of the woman in the romance and it straddles the line between mystery (though it is never a mystery to the reader what has happened) and romance, doing neither satisfactorily.I get that Isabella and James love each other, but why was the choice made not to even explain how they met?  Why is everybody so confident that this legend is a real story and the bracelets, if found, will give the wearer the ability to travel through time?  How could the antique dealer possibly tell that the bracelet was real?  I understand he would be able to date it, but what is the process that allows him to tell it was the same one?This is a book that is best enjoyed when you don't think about any of it too much.  I couldn't turn off my critical thinking long enough to enjoy it.
