Heart Dance is the latest in the HeartMates series that for me has become an addiction. In Robin D. Owens' SF/F series, she has created a wonderful alien world of soul mates and a complex society for them to inhabit. Everything in her world has feelings, whether they are housepets or indeed, the house itself. Her latest entry is impressive.

Reread 11/2012: I was more annoyed with Defleur this time around. I also enjoyed the overall story less and found myself impatient for it to move on. I still like Saille and the world.
Original review 11/2009: I liked this book, but not as well as some of her others.
I loved Saille. I thought he was a strong, honorable man. He really stepped up and tried to fix all the problems left by his predecessor. I think I just liked him as a person. He was kind and loving, but also strong enough to stand u...more

Not too fond of this one. I don't generally like stories messing with time. My willing suspension of disbelief only stretches so far. Some of the talents are getting a bit to far out there for me. I'm also not fond of sentient cats. The farther this series goes on, the more sentient the cats become. If I wanted to read about cats, I'd read the Warrior series.
I liked the two characters here; both were people I wanted to be happy.
Romantic and charming. Good combination of fantasy and romance.
Why does every heroine in this series lift her chin? Numerous times even. Makes me think they just go around with their chins tucked into their chests and only actually raise their head when they're feeling a bit of an attitude. Weird.
And of course, the "nobody loves me; everybody hates me, guess I'll go eat worms" trope seems to apply to Every. Single. Volume.
Some editing problems too - like people are from the generation between themselves and someone else? How can you be from a generation oth...more

Really liked it
Great read!
This one got a little old after a while. Dufleur realized pretty early on that Saille was her heartmate. She was ok seeing him and even sleeping with him, but wouldn't bond with him. Her own issues made me not like her very much and feel sorry for Saille that he was stuck with someone like her. Due to that I found the larger political aspects of the story more interesting. I am hoping the next one is better.
This is a continuation of this series of books about HeartMates. It was okay if you have not read any of the other books but better reading if you are updated with the premise of this series. It is about a woman who has the ability to alter time and her HeartMate who has the ability to be a MatchMaker.
Heart Dance is the sixth book in a paranormal romance series. This is a fun world, with talking cats and sensient houses and a cultural loosely woven around Celtic history and lore. Owen's combines the romance and fantasy elements well to create a very entertaining story.
This series is not my favorite and the book is only okay. The book also makes a big deal of don't break your promises but in the end they set more promises up to be broken. However, I did like that the heroine was a seamstress that is always a plus.

I'm Done with Psychic Cats. Not even the heroine's being an embroiderer could keep me from giving up when the stupid Siamese announced she wanted to be the Time Cat.
So done with this series. The first 3 are okay, call it quits after that.

Way too long and drawn out. It was the last 50 pages that saved to book.
bought a copy for the library since only one missing from their collection
