Modern heroine Laurel Behrman travels back in time to Colonial America, where she saves a drowning patriot, dodges redcoats, and finds a second chance at love with handsome Seth Goodwin. Reprint.
Ms. Saunders has done it again here and she did with *Enchanted Time*. Funny, and sexy, it's a time travel romance with heart, something that's sadly lacking in a lot of romance novels these days. Seth is sexy, Hope (Lauren) funny and endearing as the heroine thrown back into time. And Grandma's bowling ball/crystal ball is just too much.This is definitely a keeper. I just wish she'd write some more time travels! Ms. Saunders, are you listening??
A fantastic read, over and over again.

I just received my copy of this book back from a friend, who had borrowed it for a very long time. When I asked her why, she said that her mother and sisters had insisted that they read it before she gave it back. Since it had been awhile since I had picked up one of Miss Saunders books, I sat down to read it for the fourth time. And once again, I found myself laughing outloud in spots and squirmming in my seat over the love scenes. After I finished, I started it on the rounds of others of my friends who haven't had the chance to enjoy this book. So far, no one has been disappointed. I'm looking forward to revisiting all of Miss Saunders books and waiting until the next one appears at bookstores.
Wonderful!!

Thank you for making me laugh when I did read this book, dear Amy. I did love it and was a bit sad when it was over as it gave me good time reading it. I love t-travel books very much.
A wildly different piece of fun . . .

Time travel novels(when done well) are one of the most fascinating ways to compare past and present, to achieve friction between characters who are effectively from different worlds.I don't know how many people truly believe in time travel. I don't. But in reading FOREVER I found Laurel's(the heroine) emotions, especially her grief at losing Seth(the hero), to be very real. Her bumbling guardian angels were entertaining. All right, so they're in heaven drinking beer and watching "Wheel of Fortune." Maybe that sounds a little silly. It's intended to be!FOREVER truly was an original piece of work. I love all of Ms Saunders' books, but this is one of my favorites because it incorporates a powerful skill so under-rated in the genre of romance: humor. Being able to laugh in romance doesn't undermine the depth of emotion that can accompany it. It also doesn't demand that you believe the situation once you've come back to your every-day, critically evaluating self.Ms Saunders accomplishes a balance of humor and sorrow that gives the pages a rare sense of atmosphere and individuality. For those of you who enjoy a good laugh, and understand that certain subsets of fiction require a LOT of suspension of disbelief, read this book. In a genre over-saturated with authors who find such difficulty creating truly dynamic characters consistant to their situation, this is a refresher.
