I've noticed that there are a lot of time-travel romances out there. Some is sent back into the past, or a historical person arrives in contemporary times. Does it work for any of you? Do you find something exciting in the relationship and trials faced by lovers from different centuries or does it just leave something to be desired?
I love chivalrous knights in this type of scenario. Lynn Kurland's When I Fall In Love did it for me. I think highland lairds are more popular in this genre, right? While they're yummy, I like the knights. Maybe I was a cherished lady in a previous life and that's why I enjoy them. xd

I've always thought the time-travel thing was just a device to get a woman with modern attitudes into the mix, rather than someone who "knows her place".

Time travel stories are always interesting to me. As far as romance, I haven't read anything, but stories like Kate and Leopold make me happy. I think there is something exciting in such a relationship, but I thought that was because I always like weird couples. I think it's sort of a testament to love to have a person who can find a romantic attachment when everything else in his/her life is displaced. Sort of like, love --okay, and death-- are the only constants in the universe. 3nodding

I don't think that I have read the type of time traveling story that you on about where one of the characters shiff in time and get stuck there but about two years ago I did read The Time Travelers Wife and fell in love with it so there must be something to them especialy if there as captivating as that book was.

Well I have read The Time Traveler's Wife and it's story was refreshingly new. I do happen to like plots that have to deal with those kinds of things. Sometimes though it becomes so cliche. Another one that I have read was Both Sides of Time and it could have been good if not for the characters. I still think that the thrill of time traveling can be used in different plots.

I loved the Time Traveler's Wife for it's fresh take on time travel. Not just that his was caused by a genetic disorder but the way time worked for him. He met her for the first time when he was in his early thirties (?), she met him for the first time when she was 6 or so and he met her as a child for the first time when she was 8 or so. That time got confused in that aspect was amazing.
The story I'd really like to read is The Man that Folded Himself. Apparently time becomes an all-mighty mess.
