Ellinor Ek _llinorek_ab91 — This was a fun read. It's time travel, romance, history. It's not earth shattering and in many ways a bit predictable, but I did have trouble putting it down and enjoyed the read a lot. The heroine is Douglass who has come on a vacation to England with the man she hopes is going to propose to her and his bratty daughter. Together this man and his daughter are making her life miserable and then leave her stranded by an old church even taking her luggage, purse and all of her identification. She enters the church crying (she cries a lot in this book, but that is part of the story). Her grief kneeling beside a tomb in the church leads her to saying she needs a Knight in Shining Armor and suddenly there is such a man standing beside her. I know this sounds a little corny and maybe it is, but as I said, this is a fun read, not a serious one. Her grief has called Nicholas Stafford, earl of Thornwyck, across the ages - from 400 years in the past. And he is every bit as shocked as she is to find himself standing there dressed in light armor. When he nearly gets run over by a bus, Douglass forgets her own problems when helping this man she feels must be either a lunatic or an actor who has gotten to far into his role. Thus begins the story where they both discover that in the past he was beheaded and has been portrayed in history as a womanizer as well as a traitor. Nicholas is convinced that somehow he can find proof of his innocence and go back to his time and change the future. Thus they begin on a quest to do so, aided by the extremely valuable "old" coins that Nicholas has with him. Part of the fun of this story is Nicholas discovering the modern world. There are some lessons in it too. He is shocked when Douglass cleans something with a tissue and casually throws it away and even more so when he sees glossy magazines and she tells him that they are "throw-aways". He explains how precious paper is in his time. His delight in simple modern things like running water and shampoo make him fun to read about. Douglass irritated me rather regularly and yet I liked her too. I won't do spoilers, but if you like time travel stories, this will take you back 400 years with Douglass as well as reading about Nicholas coming forward. I laughed in this book and cried too. There is a beautiful forever love theme in here that I am a sucker for. A miniature of him done in the past with "Time has no meaning. Love will endure" on it and a similar one of her with "My soul will find yours" was just too romantic. I have read some reviews where people hated the ending. For me, I was kind of hating it toward the end and was relieved when it ended like it did. Believable, definitely not. It is fiction and a nice piece of fiction at that.

Sisi Feng _isi_eng — It is not easy to feel any sympathy for conquistadors, but a few times in reading this, I was rooting for them. Granted, Orellana wasn't quite as brutal as Cortez or Pizarro, and would try diplomacy with natives that his party encountered, but he still didn't seem to have any problem plundering any village he came across and emptying it of all the food. An interesting point mentioned early on was that he kept his men busy while they weren't travelling because otherwise they would start raping and pillaging. What was wrong with these people that boredom would result in rape? Anyway, the book is very readable, and so chock-full of adventures that it could have been much longer. In fact, a would-be fiction writer could find lots of inspiration for a great adventure novel from just one episode from Orellana's ordeal. He and his men went through so much that at the end of the book when it mentioned that he was just 34 years old I was surprised (it probably mentioned his age at the beginning, but I missed it). Recommended if you're into this kind of thing.
