I purchased this book years ago in hard cover and lost it in a fire...interesting if you know the story. For some reason it popped into my head and I couldn't remember the title...Lol.....I didn't even remember the name of the author. Needless to say the search was on. I kept running into this book but it only gave a small reference to a Lady de Grey and the only thing I remembered was Tavis...every time I searched I ran into this book, so I bought it with no idea it was the very book I was l...

I kept running into this book but it only gave a small reference to a Lady de Grey and the only thing I remembered was Tavis...every time I searched I ran into this book, so I bought it with no idea it was the very book I was looking for. I LOVE this book, Jude Deveraux is an amazing writer. My second time reading it and I couldn't put it down again. I study extensively about past lives, reincarnation, as well as regression therapy so needless to say this book was right up my alley. This may be a novel but the principals embodied in this book we all live...it is presented in a wonderful way that if you are open will give you insite as well as keys you can use in your own life....and a wonderful story to take you away....Amazingly well done...!!!!

I enjoyed reading this book, but there were times when the book dragged and I almost gave up. The middle part was too long and didn’t need to go on and on and on.

I read this book when it was first released and I was a lot younger (has it really been 25 years?)
There are many things I enjoyed about this book. I loved the part of the modern part of the story. There were a lot of fun, gossipy notes about the life of romance book writers and the people who read those books. When we go back to one of her previous lives, I still found the book enjoyable, with the sense of mystery and the idea of someone BEING herself in her previous life. Both of these par...

There are many things I enjoyed about this book. I loved the part of the modern part of the story. There were a lot of fun, gossipy notes about the life of romance book writers and the people who read those books. When we go back to one of her previous lives, I still found the book enjoyable, with the sense of mystery and the idea of someone BEING herself in her previous life. Both of these parts of the story are told in the First Person. Then we slip back even further in this person's lives to the Renaissance time and the story shifts to Third Person. Our character is now viewing her previous life with no ability to change or control anything. The basic story is great, but there is too much repetition in the basic theme, and felt like it took a long time to get to the (tearful) conclusion of that part of the story.

I really loved the theme of Past Lives and how the main character is affected by everything that happened in previous lives. It is a little more intriguing then Time Travel (all though I LOVE "Knight In Shining Armor" also by Deveraux) I think I loved the book more the first time I read it. Aging 25 years can adjust your perspective. I would still recommend the book. There is a lot of food for thought, and it certainly makes me curious about visiting the "Past Lives Pavillon" (a reference from the movie 'Defending Your Life')

It starts off slow then gets a little confusing. Stick with it because it continues to get better. The end is perfect. Happy reading

I did not enjoy this story. The book did not make me happy. Adore this author,but not this book even if it is well written.
