To most women, meeting the man of their dreams occurs only figuratively. Not so with Anne Sinclair, daughter of the Laird of Dunniwerth.
As a child of eight, Anne caught her first glimpse of a boy she knew only as Stephen, hailing from some unknown place called Langlinais. No mere dream, her vision came as a glimmering, fishbowl-like window into his world. For the next 15 years, Anne glimpses through this weird portal Stephen's anguish and joy, his triumphs and defeats, his interests and a few o...more

When love spans hundreds of miles, across two countries, and connects two lost souls long before they will ever physically meet, you know that something special is in the works. My True Love is truly something special!
The daughter of the laird of Dunniwerth, Anne Sinclair's childhood was a bit hard, though to an outsider they would think she had it all. And in many ways she did—but she w...more

This book is mainly about romance and it is very detailed. It contains some latin words in it which their meanings are explained in the text. I would recomend this book to people but who ever is reading it should somewhat contain some maturity in some scenes. Rather than that it contains romance, passion, and love.
The historical setting for this HR is well-written. I enjoyed a lot of the detail given to descriptions of Langlinais and Stephen's ancestors, particularly Juliana's codex.
The revelation that Anne had been having visions of Stephen since childhood was well-timed and didn't feel tacked on.

Anne has been dreaming about Stephen since he was a young boy even though she has no idea who or where he is located. When she gets older and her family starts pressuring her to marry, she decides to strike and find Stephen. They find each other and have to overcome obstacles to be together.
An excellent book. Nothing like a little love, a little magic and strong male characters with equally strong female characters.
So so sweet. Simple yet,amazingly believable. enjoyed it.
very good all around, its not neccisary to have read the first one but its nice to have some background knowlege

Oh my gosh I am so glad to be done with this book. So many words and so little said and done. The main characters are boring to say the least. There was no character developement. The only reason this got 2 stars was some of the subplots. Hannah and Richard were fun and entertaining...so there is one star. The telling of Julianna and Sebastian deserved another star. The rest :(.
Please tell me if she is worth reading again.

Of the books I have read by Ranney, this was one of my least favorites. Not only did I feel the story moved slowly, but that it had little or no action. I also felt the characters were boring, with none of the wit and daring of some of Ranney's other characters. However, the story did touch the romantic in me. I personally would not recommend this book, but would encourage readers to focus on her other books instead.

Anne Sinclair has been having dreams of a young boy for years and even as they both grow to manhood. Anne is determined to travel from Scotland to England to find this person, and how she does and what ensues makes for a great read. Recommended.

Story was pretty good. I didn't care for her style of writing. The romance scenes were pretty bland and boring actually.
