A Dance Through Time [Mass Market Paperback]

I much preferred "The More I See You" by the same author. At least that heroine is plucky and admirable and tames her gruff love interest, and he in contrast to Jaime McLeod has an intriguing and appealing personality! Plus he sounds much hotter and attractive personally. I can see the love affair in that book. With this one, the heroine just deals with the so-called hero's mercurial inexplicable violent moods and distrustfull attitude while opining to herself how much she loves him. I'm still asking myself, WHY would anyone love that creep? In the end the only answer that matters is Who Cares!!! Forget buying this book if you expect more from your heroes and heroines.

But why wasn't Elizabeth hung as a witch? First of all, she's definately not Scottish but speaks English. She talks strange, has strange ideas and wears strange clothes.

NB. Witches were hung, not burnt. It was heretics that were burnt. So why there was all this witch burning going on which is historically incorrect, I don't know. Anything that was done of this nature was done with the aid of the present Christian church, but all the clergy that are present in the book, are way too soft for those times, and not present at these occasions.

And if Jaime didn't allow his men to rape women, why were there two attempts at Elizabeth? I agree with the other viewer on this, why did she forgive the would-be rapist and then allow him to be bodyguard?

Why did Elizabeth feel the need to buy everybody else gifts with money she knew that Jaime couldn't really spare?

Who convinved Jaime to buy a Jaguar? He wouldn't know what it was, and doesn't really need it out in the stix. What a total waste of money!

Then, there was a strange explanation that Jaime had to leave his present because Elizabeth had read that he had died. The future hadn't happened yet, so there was no reason for them not to stay and create a new history for them both.

If Jaime and Elizabeth kept time hopping in Scotland's history, how did the McLeoud hall fall into Fergussons hands? If they time hop backwards, in the future, is it possible that they will undo what they have done with their new hall?

WHY does the whole family have to get involved in the end? I have read this in other romance novels and so assume it to be a strange Americanism. If you asked any of my family if they wanted to go back in time where there were no antibiotics, to fight a battle where its quite likely they will die or suffer some sort of horrible trauma, they will quite vociferously tell you where to go. Families are all well and good for dinner invitations and phone conversations, but not for becoming central characters, and certainly not so in romance novels. Family have a terrible tendency for killing romance. The family thing was really annoying.
