( )I got talked into trying this again. I don't remember why I read the first and stopped - it has been awhile. Now I am sucked in and on book 3, with holds placed on the rest. I should be reading more of the Summer Showdown books, but Jamie is a little more appealing than Don Quixote! I got talked into trying this again. I don't remember why I read the first and stopped - it has been awhile. Now I am sucked in and on book 3, with holds placed on the rest. I should be reading more of the Summer Showdown books, but Jamie is a little more appealing than Don Quixote! I enjoyed this book, but didn't feel that this book was one that I couldn't put down. It took me about 2 months to read it. Not sure I will read the second book in the series since I've been told it moves a lot slower than Outlander.

Amazon.com (ISBN 0440222915, Mass Market Paperback)In Outlander, a 600-page time-travel romance, strong-willed and sensual Claire Randall leads a double life with a husband in one century, and a lover in another. Torn between fidelity and desire, she struggles to understand the pure intent of her heart. But don't let the number of pages and the Scottish dialect scare you. It's one of the fastest reads you'll have in your library.While on her second honeymoon in the British Isles, Claire touches a boulder that hurls her back in time to the forbidden Castle Leoch with the MacKenzie clan. Not understanding the forces that brought her there, she becomes ensnared in life-threatening situations with a Scots warrior named James Fraser. But it isn't all spies and drudgery that she must endure. For amid her new surroundings and the terrors she faces, she is lured into love and passion like she's never known before. I was lame and sore in every muscle when I woke next morning. I shuffled to the privy closet, then to the wash basin. My innards felt like churned butter. It felt as though I had been beaten with a blunt object, I reflected, then thought that that was very near the truth. The blunt object in question was visible as I came back to bed, looking now relatively harmless. Its possessor [Jamie] woke as I sat next to him, and examined me with something that looked very much like male smugness."Gabaldon creates characters that you'll remember, laugh with, cry with, and cheer for long after you've finished the book. --Candy Paape (retrieved from Amazon Fri, 24 Apr 2009 07:58:13 -0400) The first test round has been closed.
