5.0 out of 5 stars Timestruck 5 July 2000
By Affaire de Coeur - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
Set partially in 792 during the days of Charlemagne, this time travel romance places a twentieth-century heroine in the past to interact with a cast of fictional and historical characters. Gina McCain, a specialist with Y2K Computer Systems, keeps her appointment with a sleazy detective agency in New York to correct their problem. While adjusting the date, she falls into a time warp and joins Dominick, a gentle Medieval hero, in a world with none of the conveniences she takes for granted. Trapped in a vortex of passion and a plot against the king, Her very life is in jeopardy as she supports her lover with loyalty and desire to see justice prevail. Taken from the pages of history, this story is an elaborate, painstaking portrayal of real events mixed with a beautiful couples romance and their need to overcome the barrier of time. Speer's outstanding talent shouts from each well-written page. Her extensive research has given her the ability to produce numerous novels deserving of awards.

2.0 out of 5 stars A BIG LET DOWN; 21 Jun 2007
By Donna Marie Chelland - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
Gena a twentieth computer analyst is hurl back to the year 792 into Dominick's bed.There was no battle of wills between the hero and heroine.
I was surprise when Gena first encounter bronze age Dominick they greeted each other like they were long times friends. No sparks, No battle of wills. King Charles and Queen Fastrada had more character in this romance than the main characters.A BIG LET DOWN! This was the second Flora Speer's book I have read. Both romances made me cross eyed.
4.0 out of 5 stars Lots of fun with an unexpected focus 30 May 2003
By Mark Butler - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
Gina is transported back in time to meet and fall for handsome Dominick. OK so the plot isn't very complex, what does set it apart is the focus on the court of King Charles and his spoiled wife. The first part of the book wasn't as I expected as Gina struggles to figure out what has happened, how to live in this time period and for her growing feelings for Dominick. I was surprised at the "ease" with which it all happened, I really expected more drama and tension but Dominick is so perfect, he has no flaws, nothing to have tension with and she quickly abandons her lifelong hatred of men to fall for him. On his side he suspects her of complicity but doesn't really do much about it which seemed a bit unrealistic.

However once she finally succumbs to him and they start feeling like a pair of lovers, the story then abruptly shifts to palace intrigue with a attempt on King Charles' life. Interestingly this seem to consume most of the rest of the book and their love is moved to the side, they get together for a fierce quick 2 page passion every chapter but the rest of the book is about the intrigue. There are lots of twists and turns and it has a great ending! One which you could probably see coming but nevertheless had me grinning like an idiot.

So all in all its a fun book with a strong historical focus without pages and pages of drippy syrupy google-eyed lovers, but I think it could have used more love and romance and I think a chance was missed to do more of the differences between now and then, for example having her be more agressive in bed than was the norm back then or open mouth kissing or whatever would fit with the story.

I enjoyed it and I'm glad I read it.
