Book Review: Average time-travel romance
Summary: 3 Stars
From the back cover:
The man from the heavens...
Accidentally thrust back to the eighth century by a computer genius's time-travel program, Mike Bailey fell from the sky and landed near Charlemagne's camp. Knocked senseless by the crash, he couldn't remember his name, address, or occupation, but no shock could make his body forget how to respond when he awoke to the sight of an enchanting...
Angel on earth...
Headstrong and innocent, Danise was already eighteen and almost considered an old maid by the Frankish nobles who courted her. Yet the stubborn beauty chose to risk spending her life cloistered in a nunnery rather than marry for any reason besides love. Unexpectedly mesmerized by the stranger she discovered unconscious in the forest, Danise was quickly roused by an all-consuming passion--and a desire that would conquer time itself.
And my review:
This book was just okay. Not outstanding, and not terrible, either.
One thing I found interesting was that in this story, the man was the one to travel back in time. It seems that in 99% of time-travel romances, it's the heroine who does the time-travelling. Also, this author's use of the Charlemagne period (779 A.D.) was also unique, as I had never before read a story set in this period before.
The drawbacks were that this novel read more like a political history lesson that a romance novel. It was obviously well-researched, but sometimes I felt overwhelmed by the historical detail. I didn't feel that it wove seemlessly into the story.
Also, I felt that the romance aspect of this was sacrificed for the political struggle part of it. The romance was starting to develop nicely when the hero and heroine are seperated for a time. After that, they fall into bed together. I was left feeling a little bit cheated by this. I kind of felt that the heroine gave it away too easily, considering the time period, and especially considering that she'd just narrowly escaped from being gang-raped.
All in all, this book was okay. It wasn't horrible, but it wasn't one I'd highly recommend, either.
