Remember Love

I have to say, starting off, I was doubtful I would like this book. But once I started reading it, I couldn't put it down!!! Susan Plunkett grabs your attention with warm characters and never ending witt. Winifred McCanless and Ransom Hamiltion are two completely different people from different times, but somehow Winifred ends up in Ransom's wife's body after she gets struck by lightning and dies. Ransom's reactions to Winifred's claims of being from the future and shocking him are priceless. There love is tangible. I was routing for Winifred (aka Felicity) all the way. Ransom is a complete rogue, but trust me, you'll love him anyway!!!!

I had never read this author before and I actually picked this one up when it first hit the shelves. This book was funny, passionate, had a air of danger and the ending made sense. The review before pretty much wrapped up the storyline. I just want to add that I have since bought a lot more of Susan Plunkett books but none of them come close to catching me from page 1 like this one. I have loaned this out to several people since then and they are always pleased. In fact when trying to introduce friends that do not neccesarily read Time Travel books, to the genre this is one of my favorites to let them sink their teeth into.

Highly Recommended Winifred McCanless is a brilliant research scientist, fiercely independent, and has a basketball scoring record that would put many Lakers to shame. Winifred also is as plain as a board fence, wears contact lenses thick enough to stretch her eyelids and the only abiding love she has ever known came from her dead brother. Felicity Forsythe is beautiful, tender and has the mind of a six year old. All of her life she has known nothing but the most gentle love and affection. Ransom Hamilton, handsome, powerful and lonely, dreams of a home, wife and an heir for his vast timber holdings and shipping company. He has waited to marry until he can give his new wife anything she desires. Unfortunately, he has waited too long. By proxy he has been duped into marriage with the witless Felicity while her step-sister, Cassandra, has wed another. An electrical storm of momentous proportion streaks across the 1996 Los Angeles sky, hurling Winifred back one hundred years to Sitka, Alaska and into the drowned body of Felicity who foolishly fell off of the docked boat that brought her to Ransom. When Winifred/Felicity regains consciousness she is stunned to discover she now owns the lush body of a goddess and is married to the most handsome man she has ever seen. Unfortunately, he is also an arrogant, male chauvinist whose touch drives her to the brink of heaven. True love never runs smoothly and "Remember Love" is no exception. Mistrust, fear and greed endanger the fragile bonds that begin to grow between Winifred and Ransom. The frigid winter winds that sweep across the tundra carry not only betrayal and treachery, but seem to freeze time letting the lovers see clearing what is real and what was only imagined. Susan Plunkett, one of Jove/Berkley's Time Passages premiere authors, gives us an entertaining romp through 1866 guided by high spirited Winifred as she leads a bewildered Ransom on a passionate chase until he catches her. Susan's love scenes are rich and sensuous. Her characters are well defined and the plot is exciting and full of wondrous discoveries. Ms. Plunkett has all of the promise of becoming one of the superstars of romance. Kathee S. Car
