I really, really liked this book. It ran my life for the time it took me to read it...laundry? dishes? Forget about them! Pick a rainy weekend to enjoy this one.

I expected a typical romance, but this had a lot of excitement. Almost as good as the Diana Gabaldon "Outlander" series, and I don't say that about much of anything since I've read those. Basically, this was Gabaldon mixed with the excitement/chase/danger of a really good Grisham book. It was GREAT. Highly recommended!

I don't think time travel books are her forte, although this is not a bad book. It is a good early Howard, strong characters and sex scenes. Too many loopholes in time travel books for me...

I couldn't put it down! I read this while on vacation and did not want to leave the room (even though I was in Belize)!

Very compelling storyline, and the author gets what scholars do, which is a bonus

Time travel to decipher the legend of the Knights of the Templar treasure. Great story.

It's amazingly good. Linda Howard hasn't let me down yet! I was wary at first, due to the time travelung element, but Howard came out in top and even made me wish for more of the same. Her female protagonist goes through a whole lot more development in this book than the others, but it is a logical progression, from inexperience bookworm to confident woman. In short, one of my top ten by Linda Howard.

I liked the book, but I am not that much into time travel books. She still did a good job.

I am a huge fan of Linda Howard and this was one of my favorite LH books. The beginning is sad as Grace watches her husband and brother being murdered, and then she has to go on the run from the killers who know she saw what happened. She was very clever the way she kept avoiding being caught. In the meanwhile, she is working on the transcripts to uncover ancient secrets from the past. When she finally travels through time to the 14th century and meets Niall of Scotland, the action really begins. Niall is one of the hottest, sexiest men ever put on paper! When it finally happens, the sex scenes between the two are amazing. If I were to have one negative comment to make, it would be that the characters do not actually meet until about two-thirds way through the book. But it is definitely worth the wait!
