Summary: A fun read
Review: I chose this book ( on audio) as I was in a hurry at the library. Usually romances aren't my favorite, but I thought I'd give it a try. It wasn't the kind of book I have been reading lately, namely those recommended by Oprah, but that's a nice break once in a while. This time- travel aspect is fun to imagine, though as several others have said, it isn't very plausible. I never really got into the romance between Tarik and Kady...I kept hoping that she would decide to go back to Cole's time and stay. The part about the wedding dress being put into the flour container was never really explained either. How did it get there? And how did the flour container end up in Alexandria, VA? Oh well, like I said, this isn't meant to be a real deep thinking novel, just fun reading, which it is. This is the first Jude Devereaux novel I've read, but may have to try another.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I am a new fan!
Review: To me, this book is absolutely the best! Although the time travel bit does not really make any logical sense but who care! The plot, the story, the adventure, the love in the story speak to my heart. I wish I could too be whirled off to another time, another place for a while, away from all the reality of the present world. And the part on the dream, that recurring dream Kady has, I wish I have some indication like her, to tell me who the man of my life would be.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Interesting story
Review: I enjoyed the cook motiff used in this book; as a romance, though, it was kind of boring. Plus, there is a major, major plot hole at the end which makes no sense re time travel. Without spoiling the ending, the book falls into the trap most time travel stories encounter... the paradox of time travel. And this time, the paradox is SO large one cannot just brush it aside. (Even though its been six months since I read it...) But all in all, it was an enjoyable read, but nothing then eye candy.

Summary: Legend.......brilliant.
Review: As I looked through the racks on one of my regular trips to the library, I could not find any books that I hadn't read by my favorite author. So I was browsing, as I often do. I came across "Legend". The outline on the back cover interested me, so I checked it out. The only thing that comes to mind when I remember the story is....BRILLIANT. Deveraux outdid Coulter with this book, in my opinion. The storyline was intriguing, keeping me on the edge of my seat. There was romance, mystery, humor....you name it! It was such a nice change from what I usually read, historical romance, that I instantly fell in love with Deveraux. Now, I am a devoted fan. I read everything of hers I can get my hands on. I highly recommend this book to anyone looking for a fast pace, humorous romance. Sit back and enjoy this book. I have bought a copy for myself, and enjoy reading it time and again!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: one of the best!
Review: one of the most wonderful books i've ever read. i just fell in love with the characters and the best thing about it was that it was not predictable like many other romance books. highly reccomended.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: OK, but if you really want a romance...
Review: I'm still listening to Legend, about 3/4 of the way through. It's ok, but starts out really slow. Not sure how it's going to end. I actually picked this book up while I'm waiting on some others I have on reserve. I've been reading some of the other reviews and have to say, if you really want a great romantic/time travel book with some substance, read something by Diana Gabaldon. Better yet, listen to the unabridged audiocassettes read by Davina Porter -- They're OUTSTANDING!

Rating: 5 stars

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Wonderful Book, Now a Favorite
Review: I was lent this book to read by a friend and once I started to read it, I couldn't put it down. Ms. Deveraux kept me interested from begining to end. Since then, I have bought my own copy and have read it several more times, to many to count. To the contrary of what others have said, the second half of the book dealing with Tarik is my favorite. I tend to just read that part now. Kady is a very relateable character in her flaws and I can see a bit of myself in her. I found it interesting to see how she dealt with the situations that she was given. I do admit the part where Ruth Jordan enters the story is confusing, but if you can get past that part, it is worth the read. It is correct that the epilogue doesn't answer everything, but I believe that it's a highly enjoyable book to read. :)

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Time Travel with a Twist
Review: This was the first Jude Deveraux book I ever read. A friend gave it to me, and I will always consider her a great friend, because this book was so exciting, I never wanted it to end. What a twist on time travel. I look forward to reading all of this author's books.

Rating: 5 stars

All the mistery and romance takes you in and doesn't let go. You'll gasp at the things that happen. Wonderfully written. I've read it seven times! Jude Deveraux is a wonderful writter.
