AT THE TURN OF THE CENTURY, ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN...
On the eve of the new millennium, one misplaced keystroke thrust computer analyst Gina McCain back to the eighth century -- and into the dashing Lord Dominick's bed. Awestruck by his courtly manner, to say nothing of his chiseled chest, Gina ignored the fluttery feeling in her stomach and sought a way back to the twentieth century. But Dominick's passionate kisses soon convinced Gina she was no longer awestruck, but lovestruck -- and she longed to be trapped in Dominick's arms forever.
To have gotten past his guards, Dominick knew the lovely lady who appeared in his bed must be a spy. To discover her mission he planned to woo her with kindness and keep a close eye on her actions -- not a hardship, he had to admit, as he admired her slender figure and fiery green eyes. Soon, however, he realized his actions were no subterfuge and as he held the beauty in his arms he knew he had uncovered a love for all time.

January 27, 2022I don't know how to even rate this book. I was so taken by the premise and the hilarious cover (the CD!) that I had to track down a copy, but overall it was significantly more about the historical moment than about the romance (which wasn't great, either). I don't regret reading it, but I don't plan to seek out any of her other out of print titles. Presumably, it's in line with what was popular in 1999!

I discovered this book on Instagram where someone I follow talked about the cover design and the Y2K situation. People thought computers would crash when the year changed from 1999 to 2000. I loved the cover and bought a used copy impulsively from Amazon.
I liked Gina and Dominick and liked them together, but I didn't like the book as much as I hoped to, and that was disappointing. (I have no idea why either! I loved the beginning setup.) If you buy something in paperback, you really want to enjoy it! But I'd be okay giving this one away.
When Gina and Dominick have settled into their relationship, they go to court, and there's all this intrigue and court politics.
I suspected (hoped) that Gina was pregnant at the end, and she was! So that was a nice cherry on the top. But I just wish I enjoyed this one more. :/

I truly enjoyed this one, I have just recently discovered Flora Speer, and have enjoyed her way of writing. It flows smoothly and she charms her way into her readers hearts through her tempting plots , and her characters are endearing, and had be turning the pages as fast as I could read them. Gina feeling alone in the world, is sent back in time, and finds the one man that can complete her fully. She is able to learn to trust and to go down the road of true enduring love. Dominick, after being betrayed by his past wife, finds it hard to trust any woman anymore, however Gina is different from any other one he has ever met. She fills a whole within him, and he realizes that their love is worth any risk. To say what this book was in one word is: Enchanting (through and through)
