Customer Reviews

Oh, I looooved this book

I read this book years ago...and I just loved it. The scifi angle of it was some kind of enchanting I don't even have words for. Of all of her books I've read (and that's a lot of them), it remains one of my favorites. I still have my copy from forever ago. If you agree with me on this one, try her book, Facets...which I also ADORED!

I finally found it!!!!!

I've been searching for this book for years. It had a plot and much loved characters that never let me forget them. It's a must read for all of you who like your romance a little out of the ordinary.

Great hero and storyline

I really enjoyed this one. I don't get why the other reviewers didn't like it, I thought it was sweet, funny, sexy, and at times poignant. I will be keeping this wonderful book.

Wonderfully creative and, as always, very well-written

Barbara Delinsky is my favorite author and this book doesn't disappoint. Yes, you may have to suspend your imagination (doesn't almost every novel ask you to do that?), but within the confines of the characters she creates and the place where they live, I totally bought the whole thing from beginning to end. Each character has their own distinct voice, which helped to make them really come alive. A definite re-read. What a lovely way to spend a Sunday afternoon.
