"Come to me." The haunting voice of Scottish laird James McLeod summons writer Elizabeth Smith through time to 1311 Scotland. James forbids women at his keep. So he is rather surprised when Elizabeth is deposited in his care, though care isn't what he gives her when they first meet. Lynn Kurland excited readers with her memorable debut novel, Stardust of Yesterday, and her talents shine through again in this delightful time-travel tale of adventure and love.
Product Description
Romance writer Elizabeth Smith falls asleep in Central Park, New York City, in 1996, only to awaken in fourteenth-century Scotland, where she finds herself in the arms of her dream man, powerful Scottish laird James MacLeod.

 Fantastic writter February 5, 2010
Penny Smith (Idaho)
You cannot put her books down, she just pulls you into her books, very few writters have been able to do that for me. I will read all her books.
Do NOT compare to another author February 6, 2009
Stephanie Crawford (Kenosha, WI USA)
OK. I just spent about an hour reading all of the reviews of this book. While I agree that it isn't the best Kurland has written, it is still a GREAT read.
For those complaints about not being like Diana Gabaldon, who is?!? She is one of the best authors out there. She is also a historian, unlike Lynn Kurland. It is Amazon or other sites that say you MAY (note they don't say you WILL) like this if you like that.
For those complaints about a lack of sex, go to the erotic selections and avoid Lynn Kurland. Her best asset is being able to tell a story without 3 consecutive chapters of sex. If she were a Virginia Henley and she had as little sex as she does, I could understand the complaint. At least I can borrow this to my 16 year old niece without having to worry that she will read something she may not need to know yet.
Lynn Kurland has never said her stories are historically accurate - I am pretty sure this is why it is classified as romance/fiction. While I realize Diana Gabaldon is classified this way also, she makes note that she purposely wrote a lot of historic detail.
I absolutely LOVE how Lynn takes family characters and gives them their own stories. You have met them in previous books and now they have their own stories. These books are FUN, not full of historical fact or sex.
Just as good as the first one... January 7, 2009
Nora Jean (Arizona)
A DANCE THROUGH TIME was as good as the first book in the series. I LOVED the story of James Macleod and Elizabeth Smith. I think the best part of the book for me was when Jamie came forward in time and his reaction to the Twentieth century. For me the book wasn't long enough. I would have loved to read MORE.
Kurland is fast becoming another of my favorite authors as I now want to read all her books in the series.
 THIS BOOK IS NO "OUTLANDER"... December 26, 2008

I highly enjoy time travel fantasy books and, having loved Diana Gabaldon's book, "Outlander", I naturally gravitated to this one. Unfortunately, this book is no "Outlander". It is just a pretty silly tale that is sorely lacking on many levels.
In this book, our silly, insipid heroine, Elizabeth Smith, goes back in time from the late twentieth century to early fourteenth century Scotland, where she meets James McLeod, an oafish, but handsome, Scottish laird who lives in filthy squalor with his men in a remote castle keep. After a few skirmishes, these two people from totally different worlds fall in love as expected and proceed to have a number of adventures in both his and her time.
Unfortunately, the characters are one dimensional, and the plot is so contrived as to be totally unbelievable. The writing is pedestrian at best, with dialogue that is hackneyed and trite. Notwithstanding its limitations, those readers who enjoy time travel romance books may get a modicum of enjoyment from this novel. I, however, did not.

Lynn Kurland is an amazing author! I really enjoy reading her novels. I love the time travelling and all the family connections. If you're wanting to read romance, I definately recommend her. Jamie's story was so great to read :o)
