Description

Lost in the Bayou... Selene has always had three great passions: men, food . . . and Gone With the Wind. Still, the glamorous model always seems to be starving for both nourishment and affection. Weary of the petty world of high fashion, she heads to New Orleans for one last shoot before she chucks it all and begins a whole new life. But she doesn't realize that, thanks to an errant voodoo spell, her new life will happen 150 years in the past . . . and in the company of a dark and brooding show more gentleman who could give Rhett Butler a run for his money! An alarmingly handsome Southern planter, James Baptiste may not have Rhett's cavalier spirit--and his plantation is certainly no Tara! But it's clear as crystal that this virile Creole is a lover worth giving a damn about. And with God as her witness, Selene vows she will never go hungry for this man again! show less

lolz. I like the female protagonist's love for food to the point that she love food more than men until she became an unwilling damsel in distress. I can very well understand the male protagonist's determination, also, not to be involve in any unnecessary relationships when he carries a lot of responsibilities--especially with Selene. I love this book! Very funny and very well composed. I just couldn't put the book down. 5 out of 5 for this one!
Selene is a model who's sent back in time due to a voodoo curse. She finds herself at a Quadroon Ball and James believes her to be a light skinned colored, looking for a protector. Yes she needs a protector and it takes time for him to believe she's from the future. The fact her makeup case which she wasn't holding traveled with her seemed far fetched. When she was in danger and still kept mouthing off future things also didn't work for me. Her heckling James with blonde jokes was funny but didn't fit her claimed attitude of women power and beauty isn't everything. Lots of contradictions, some fun moments. They sexually frustrate and tease each other for a majority of the book, talk about long foreplay!
