 Fantastic author
I love Robin Owens and have recommended her writings to several of my friends and family. You will enjoy the banter between the characters and they way characters from past books are brought into the next one. I highly recommend this author to everyone. I am on my seat waiting for more, and more, and more!!!
 I have enjoyed the" Celta "Series
I have always enjoyed this author and her Heartmate books. I am on the list for her newest one coming out soon, called "Heart Fate".
I wanted to prepare myself and catch up on all the characters before the new book comes out. This book was great. I really enjoyed the characters and their plight. Of course, I love each and every Fam cat!
I do hope she continues this series. I appreciate the effort Robin D. Owens puts into each and everyone of her books.
Well written and engaging romance
Dufleur Thyme feels compelled to continue her father's experiments, to learn how to control and even reverse time. Those experiments lead to her father's death and to the destruction of the Thyme house, but Dufleur refuses to believe that her father would have made such a critical mistake. One thing she does not need is the complication of a man. No man would let her continue her experiments, especially considering that they're illegal.
Saille T'Willow is finally the head of his house, with his evil grandmother in stasis while she waits for some cure to the virus that is consuming her. His flair (magic) is that of a matchmaker and he believes he can help people find their true loves--their heartmates, but his great need is to find his own heartmate. When he learns that Dufleur is that heartmate, he vows to do whatever it takes to persuade her to trust him, to become his.
Ultimately, Dufleur's experimentation leads her to a horrible crisis. To prove her father's sanity and to be allowed to experiment, once more, with time, she must do the one thing that will destroy Saille--bring back his grandmother.
Author Robin D. Owens creates an intriguing futuristic world where magic and science work side-by-side, where a strange aristocratic society has developed that seems highly reminiscent of Regency England, and where a magical bond creates a true love that cannot be broken, no matter how badly either party wants to break it. I would have liked to see a bit more of the social structure, particularly some concern for those who aren't nobles, who can't rely on extreme wealth, and find it hard to believe that a society with such advanced science/magic would be so reliant on servant labor, but Owens manages to make the fantasy compelling enough that such concerns lose their weight. Likewise, I would have liked Dufleur to suffer a bit more with the decision between love and her father's reputation. Still, Owens's strong sense of story engaged me and kept me involved. I look forward to reading more books in this series.
I just wish she would write them faster!
I began reading Robin D. Owens Celta's Heartmate series with dubious reservations, as up until that time, I had not been too impressed with futuristic/paranormal romances. I was so taken with the characters, the history and the idea of "flair" and "heartmates" that I didn't want the book to end. I anxiously await the books in the series as they come out, and Heart Dance was wonderful! Great character development, story arc and conflict! I truly love how she gives you a taste of supporting characters just enough to want to learn their story, and then rewards you in the following books. Robin if you read this....I hope there is no forseeable end in sight, as you must at least get to T'Vines story! I love these books!
Heart Books
I own all the Heart books - and they are all keepers. Robin D Owens hasn't disappointed yet.
