Format:Mass Market Paperback
This was a tremendous romp -- and the best of the time-trave subgenre I've read. The heroine, who is *not* beautiful in her contemporary persona, is transported back to a beautiful body, in danger of her life from the (mal)practice of medicine there/then, and about to watch the man she loves as he is forced into a loveless marriage to another. As the "second" Lady Emily, she is realistic (she misses her Reeboks!), feisty, and manages not to "blow her cover" to anyone but her beloved. Fortunately she read (and tried to write) Regency romances in our time, and so had her own knowledge to draw upon; it also allows her to comment on things *we* would notice. One of my favorite parts was her explanation to her maid of the sudden change in her demeanor. The hero is grand also -- bright, questioning, believable, and good looking! Truly a fine story, and well done.

I agree with Romantic Times' review saying that Allison Lane is a "Superlative storyteller." There is a lot of emotional intensity in this story, something that we jaded romance readers long for and can never get enough of. The Second Lady Emily has a particularly sympathetic heroine and a dynamic hero as well. I highly recommend this book not just to Regency fans but to fans of time travel and fantasy, and fans of an excellent, compelling love story.

I really liked this story.
6 Sep 2000
Format:Mass Market Paperback
First of all the heroine name is Cherlynn not Candace(what book were you people reading)? This is a story about a woman who has had alot of bad breaks, is Not beautiful nor is she very successful at her chosen profession. Who has the opportunity,at first against her will, to make right a great wrong by going back in time. While it's a shame that she wasn't accepted for how she looked or what she was in the present she has a second chance to take the "essence" of what she is and repackage it in a more desirable form. I LOVED her intellegence and the way she was able to show it off and correct all the things that went wrong. Ah, if it were only that easy. For all those who had trouble believing the evil woman of the piece, where is equality here. Woman can be just as evil as men and sometimes, unfortunately, do it better. And excuse me but this is a time travel book so what's the difference. Besides it only made the punishment all the more satisfactory. I also like the way the author wrote the last chapter to mirror the first only with a twist. It was very clever. And if I'm a little unhappy that there wasn't a little more "romance", I guess you can't have everything. Besides I have a good imagination so I can fill in the blanks. All in all I think the heroine came out looking better than the hero, but then it was her story anyway. And in the end they each got what they needed most, love and acceptance.
