Very enjoyable book. Loved the antics of the cosmic troublemaker cat who kept me laughing out loud, loved the chemistry between the characters, but in the end the lack of a plot beyond romance deducted a star. Nina Bang's knows how to write and this book reminded me of how much I enjoy her books.

Friends and I found this book at the used book store. Amused ourselves with dramatic readings on the back cover and decided this must be read, just for the LOL's. It fluffy, no-brainer reading perfect for the stressful holiday season.

This is an interesting twist on a time traveling romance. With the hero Leith coming from 300 years in the past and Fortune coming from 300 years in the future there was always going to be a clash of cultures. The villain of the story is a cat (or at least he takes that form). The story is a little slow at the beginning but by the end I just couldn't wait to see how it would end.

It took me a bit to get into it but then I really enjoyed it.

An Original Sin, is an early Nina Bangs story and would best be described as a sweet romantic comedy. The Heroine, Fortune MacDonald, could perhaps be played by Sandra Bullock and the Hero, Leith Campbell, played by a hunk with sensitivity and muscles, oh and he must look good in a kilt too.

I enjoyed this book, though it wasn't earth shattering, but the demon/cat Ganymede sure provided some laughs.

The premise is that Ganymede is a troublestarter and decides to meddle in people's lives as he is sick of starting earthquakes and floods.

He pulls Fortune from 2300 and Leith from 1700, a couple of years after the infamous Glencoe Massacre. The massacre wherein the Campbells tried to wipe out the MacDonalds.

He intends to make them fall in love and then separate them back to their own time. He forgets that people don't always do what he expects.

I like time travel romances but I just couldn't get into this one. I prefer one of the characters to travel to the other's time period but for both of them to be pulled from their time period and sent to a complete new time period for both of them I just couldn't take. It is definite twist to the usual time travel romance but it seems like it would just add unnecessary confusion to the story by trying to get them both adjusted to a new time period. I didn't read the whole book so i'm not sure how it ended.

The narration of the devil (or whatever he was) was annoying. I skipped it. I skipped a lot of it after a while...a skimmed to the end type deal.

The FMC being from 300 years in the future was interesting.

IDK this book was just kinda...simple. Or something. The amount of times they were on top of each other was ridiculous. Also if someone just suddenly is on top of you I know my first reaction wouldn't be "oh, how sexy!" it would be "get the fuck off." Maybe that's just me though.

Thankfully my e-book copy had a different cover. This one is...whew. So bad. (I've since changed this to a different edition so I don't have to ever see that monstrosity ever again.)

Was it good? Not particularly, but I still enjoyed it.

This is one of my favourite books to re-read. Leith and Fortune are well matched and I always laugh out loud at the beginning.
Ganymede is a funny puck esq character and this book just makes me happy.

DNF at around 24%. Just can't get into it. I'm in a bit of a reading slump, which may be part of the cause or may be worsened by trying to force this one. I feel like the writing itself is good but the characters aren't acting realistically for the situation and overall it's just an odd read. Also, maybe it's just my attention span while reading this, but it seems like the settings keep jumping around. Like, a read a page where they'd spent the afternoon shopping and eating and suddenly in the middle of the dialogue they're waking up the next day?

That last thing is probably my bad. Regardless, I've been having really mediocre luck with books lately.

I can't believe I've had this one so long before reading it. This was a cute story. It has time travel and a frisky cat who's also a cosmic troublemaker. It really could have been pared down by 100 pages and it would have improved the story. I like this author, but this wasn't her best by a long shot.
