Melanie delivers a fey touch,
By Deborah MacGillivray "Author," (US & UK) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE) (HALL OF FAME REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Night Visitor (Timeswept) (Mass Market Paperback)
I am an avid reader of Romance, I owned a small bookstore for three years,lived half of my life in Scotland, I am a writer of Scottish Lore of the Picts, and run a community at MSN dedicated to writers and readers of Romance, so I become rather picky when it comes to dealing with Scottish History in Romance. Melanie Jackson blends her obviously love of Scotland with the fantasy touch of fiction in a bewitching brew. Dead on history is guaranteed when you read Jackson, who writes in a captivating voice and a true understanding and love of the genre. Based upon a true incident in Scottish History about the Piper of Duntrune Castle, Melanie gives you a light touch in fantasy, with very vivid character that leap off the pages. She is one of the brightest stars in romance today and each book is cements that!!! An Absolute must!!! If you have missed reading her before, don't put it off any longer...

A definite WINNER!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Night Visitor (Timeswept) (Mass Market Paperback)
Ms Jackson has a way with words. Her book was beautiful to read. Taffy and Malcom were adorable. She brought this era and the fairies to life with seeming ease. I am thoroughly impressed and definitely a new fan!

Spanning of time and history will capture your imagination,
By C. Penn "WordWeaving" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Night Visitor (Timeswept) (Mass Market Paperback)
Tafaline Lytoon blithely pedals her bicycle in a sport dress, takes photographs of archeological digs, shoots a gun, and hikes through lonely country -- much to her father's chagrin. Her clothing is more concerned with comfort and indestructibility rather than fashion or appearance -- much like her approach to life. She realizes that most suitors are more attracted to her looks, her fortune, or entree to her father than to her. Taffy's father asks her to photograph the skeleton of the famous ghost piper of Duntrune, Malcolm MacIntyre. According to legend, Malcolm played the pipes at risk of his own life to warn his clan of impending disaster. His plan worked but in retribution the enemy brutally killed him. Now, on stormy nights, he comes to play his pipes upon the wall. When she touches the piper's bones, a connection is made between Taffy and Malcolm. The span between the centuries that Malcolm and Taffy occupy soon grows thin as each sights an apparition of the other. The echoes of words carry across the centuries until Taffy finds herself drawn into a journey leading her back through the centuries to the ugly wars between clans and the days when the faerie still held sacred space. Melanie Jackson deftly weaves a tale that honors the myth, magic and lore of Scotland. Based on the true story of the piper of Duntrune, she masterfully blends fact with fantasy to present a fast paced, riveting tale. Indeed, this spanning of time and history will capture your imagination in a romance that will touch your heart. Very highly recommended. 6 of 7 people found the following review helpful:

Abosultely stunning!!,
By J. Marshall - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Night Visitor (Timeswept) (Mass Market Paperback)
I am one of the male managers of WISE Writers and Readers, and I generally leave the reviewing to Lady Ashorah, the head of WISE. But I wanted to say the male readers at WISE loved this book!!Melanie is a super writer, with a haunting, evocative quality that leads the reader into a drama drawn from real historical events. She is one of the strongest historical writers around. WISE WrIters and Readers Book of the Month for MAY and Book of the Year for 2001 12 of 16 people found the following review helpful:

Unusual and good book,
By K. Wellborn - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Night Visitor (Timeswept) (Mass Market Paperback)
This is the first book I've read by Ms. Jackson and am pleasantly surprised. Steeped in Scottish history it is an interesting read to boot. Although I will say that I too was confused by the typo at the beginning of chapter two (it gives the year 1964 instead of 1644). But fortunately, I found through reading the reviews here that it was indeed a typo.Being this was the first book I've read in Scottish history, I felt a bit confused at first, but this only lasts through the first couple of chapters. After Taffy time travels, it is an easy read and enjoyable. It took me a little while to let go and accept the fantasy/fairy tale aspect of the book, but once I did I had no problem following the story line. My highest praise for the book is its thoroughness. Ms. Jackson leaves no holes and the ending is satisfying as it does not feel rushed as it does in so many books. So, I'm a little tired today as I couldn't put the book down until I finished it at 1:30 this morning, but it was worth it. I do recommend this book. |
