Not being a fan of time travel romances I was very hesitant to read this book. This book is about a supermodel Selene who gets a voodoo curse put on her and she gets sent back to New Orleans 1845. A year where skinny women are not the norm and a woman's attractiveness is based on her breeding and manual labor abilities.

The historic background of the south in 1800's was infuriating but as I don't know many details of specific practices of the time I cannot say if they are historically accurate or not.

The main character decides to make James (the "hero") laugh and tells him tons of blonde jokes thoughout the book. I love a good joke and have laughed at blonde jokes in the past but in the 1800's these jokes wouldn't be funny at all so I couldn't really see the point. As a matter of fact I couldn't see the point in this book.

Sandra Hill has written several other books and I am glad I read one of her better ones before this. If this had been my first Hill book I might have never picked up another one again.

There is a sequel to this book about James' son Etienne. Another time travel book. Will I be reading it? Probably not.

Being a big 'Gone With the Wind' fan, myself, I enjoyed this humorous story of a modern fashion model's travel back through time to the pre-Civil War South!

Funny stuff...this one is a very entertaining and charming tale of vodoo, the Old South, time travel, and side-splittingly hilarious aerobic exercise (the characters exercise, not the readers...although I suppose you could...but, I digress). You'll giggle and guffaw your way through this one, and if you're a fan of "Gone with the Wind" (or even if you're not)prepare for some serious GWTW references. I'm not a huge fan of time travel books, but this one may have just changed my mind!

Set in the days of the Old South -- A supermodel from the '90s, a dark and brooding Creole, blonde jokes, Gone with the Wind references and so much food talk that it makes you hungry!

A light read with some funny scenes. Ending is rather abrupt, but otherwise sets up a premise for what can be considered it's follow-up "Desperado", also by Sandra Hill, and "Sweeter Savage Love" as the 3rd installment featuring Etienne Baptiste, James' son from "Frankly My Dear".

I liked this book enough to read the next two, you should do the same! :)
