Not much of a plot to describe here, other than the fact the heroine is a witch who is sent forward in time to save her predecessors from death. In order to save the life of his beloved sister in law, the hero is told that he must marry this crazy yet innocent woman who claims to have come from the past. That’s the one of the things that I didn’t like about this book. The prophecy states that the heroine must marry that hero to save the sister in law but never actually says that they must love each other. Typically in a romance novel, it’s romance that’s actually the curse breaker. And though I felt the family’s pain at having to watch the woman die, they were absolute assholes to the hero and heroine. Of course in a modern time a man who has had no paranormal affiliation before in his life doesn’t understand, or is hesitant to marry a total stranger. And considering how crazy it sounds, the hero went along with it smoothly enough yet they kept pressuring g him and blaming him which I felt was unfair. Also I felt that the hero and heroine fell in love way too quickly to be believable. I strongly dislike contemporary romance novels for the fact that they tend to be boring and a flat and this is a prim example of that. There was no conflict or action and little to no sexual tension between the characters. ( ) Perfect Timing by Catherine Anderson Harrigan family novel, this one stars Quincy and he along with the family is praying for Loni that they will find the right antibiotic to cure her leukemia. After he finds an intruder, Cerra in the arena and has her arrested, his father Frank comes up with the family bible that does show what the woman had said-was true. The woman dressed in very old 1500 fashion and language told him what a perfect timing her being there is... Loni sees visions and she'd know if the woman was a real druid or a fake. Kind of funny to hear him explain what a refrigerator is, where water comes from, never mind all the electronics. Loni is the clairvoyant that can link her to her past but for how long and who will ultimately pay the price... This was my first Harrigan family novel and I felt I was brought up to date with the others, but not their full pasts. Loved hearing of the hen parties, too wicked fun! Not sure if the others in the family saga deal with magic to this degree but I found it refreshing after the romance novels I've been reading. 0451239482 This was such a feel-good book! (Though I *was* a teensy bit concerned toward the end--had to keep telling myself, "It's a romanace. There HAS to be a HEA! It's a requirement!") I've only read one other in the series so far--My Sunshine, which I loved--and I wasn't more than 3 chapters in to this one before I was checking to see if the others were available at my library. (They are, thank goodness. I'll be very busy for quite a while now--and no doubt re-reading this one when I finish!) I thought this one worked well as a stand alone--I quickly figured out who everyone was and wasn't a bit lost--and I'm sure regular readers of the series will be thrilled to see their favorites back for this latest novel. I read this in a single day--I just didn't want to put it down. Quincy and Ceara are wonderful characters, and once I managed to wrap my head around everyone's quick acceptance (except for Quincy, and with good reason--I totally sympathized with his point of view, poor guy) of their need to get married and have a wedding night IMMEDIATELY, I really enjoyed the ride this book took me on. Watching Ceara adapt to life in the 21st century was particularly amusing. Anderson did an excellent job of keeping her in character while at the same time showing her growth. Watching Quincy adjust to his wife's--peculiarities? (I don't want to spoil anything here)--was just as fun. Honestly, it was just all so darn cute, I could have overlooked a lot of sins. Fortunately, I didn't have to. :) geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
