i adored this book! the main character travels back in time while doing a play, and meets the man that had been haunting her for weeks, but as a ghost. now he's flesh and blood and every bit as desirable as the ghostly figure from her time. it's mainly about them, but it's also about her finding her destiny in the opera. this book really inspired me as a singer. let's not forget that Eugenia Riley always has steamy scenes in her books. a wonderful book i would recommend to anyone. :)

Where do I begin? This book was so good that I read the whole thing in just one day! I couldn't put it down. Eugenia Riley is one of my all time favorite time travel romance authors. It's set on the stage of an opera theatre. The heroine has a beautiful singing voice but she lacks confidence. There is a rumor of a ghost who haunts the theatre and she has an encounter the very first day of rehearsals. Something is drawing her, pulling her backward in time. When she arrives the ghost is a flesh an...more

I was inpressed by this author's knowledge of music and how skillfully she used it interwoven into the story. It uses both classical and operetta music to tell the tale of Bella de la Rosa, am singer in the chorus of the opers in New Opleans, mainly to please her dying grandmother who was a misucuan as well as her deceased parents. The Opera House is haunted by the ghost of a handsom singer, Jacques Lefevre who was murdered onstage during the performance of an Operetta called "Kalidiscope." Duri...more
The first time I read this I was in college and that was more than 10 years ago. Back then I was all over this book, I was in love with the Jacques LeFevre, the lothario tenor who stole the heart of the protagonist, Bella Dela Rosa. I loved it because the romance affected me. See, I don't usually get all sappy when I read a romance novel but on this one I did.
After so many years I read it again and to my surprise, it hasn't lost its charm. It is one of those books that I couldn't put down. The...more

The build-up to the two lead characters meeting took some time and was a bit tedious, but after that, the story moved faster and was more entertaining. I felt like the back and forth between Bella and Jacques about their relationship was overdone, especially toward the end, but not to the point where I wanted to stop reading.
Overall, not the worst time travel book I've read, but also, not the best.

The story dragged out a little, so it took me a bit longer to finish, and the plot was a little frustrating sometimes, but over all--I liked it.
