When We Do Meet Again ~ Brilliant Chicago surgeon, Dr. Stephen Templeton, needed a sabbatical to combat his overwhelming depression. A drive down River Road in Vacherie, Louisiana -- outside New Orleans -- promised to be just what the doctor ordered to relieve his stress, when a ruined antebellum mansion beckoned for him to purchase and restore it. That's when he met her. The ghost of its former mistress, Isabella Durel, who was murdered December 25, 1838 -- in this, her plantation home. It wasn't long before he found her portrait and fell in love with her yet only days before he found her husband's painting and realized that he was the reincarnation of Emile Durel! Can Stephen give her the second chance at life and love for which she's yearned for over a hundred years? Can he find sanity in her loving embrace? Can he find a murderer and reverse her fate before it's too late? Only if Time Travelers Incorporated can work their magic and send him through the time tunnel so that he may return to his wife and his life as Emile Durel circa 1838.

The premise of this story is good and interesting - buy an old house, see a ghost, travel back in a time loop, interact with the ghost and return to the future with the knowledge that you can enter the time loop and visit the ghost again. Good idea! Writing - atrocious! Any teacher would give this an F for writing ability. For instance - at one point the main character exits the tub - normal - and instead of making it sexy or routine we get a Peterman's catalog account - "a french blue, egyptian pile, 100 percent cotton towel" --- PLEASE - who talks, writes or thinks like that except the seller of the towel? That's only one example of the silly writing lack-ability. Two stars for story - no stars for keeping my interest with vocabulary above that of a toddler.

I bought this book becuase I love time travel stories and roamnces, and wasn't disappointed. A thoroughly enjoyable read with believable characters. What particularly appealed to me was that the entire story was written from the main male character's point of view, which is rare for a romance novel. A truly emotive and touching story, and the authour appears to have thoroughly researched the time period. The concept of Time Travellers INC as a company also appealed to me.
On the downside - the book could have done with better editing and tightening of the plot. Quite a number of errors. typos and otherwise, along with a bit of repetition that a good editor would have noticed, which is why I didn't rate it 5 stars. As a writer myself I notice these things. This hasn't detracted me from wanting to read the others in the series.

I love ALL of her books! Such a great fantasy, and very entertaining. Some better than others (as with most authors), but I was so excited to finally see Hollie Van Horne getting recognition in a place as large as Amazon.com. I believe I've read every one she's written. Kudos to a very entertaining woman.

The premise and logistics of time travel made sense, but it was a little shallow, not much depth to me. The proofreader was a little careless, as I found a lot of typographical errors in the book. I did enjoy the descriptions of the house.
