Diana Gabaldon has 6 novels about Claire and Jamie the first is Outlander which I pulled from Amazon because I just didn't know how to begin.
Once I started to read her first book I couldn't put it down and couldn't wait to read the next.
The first is Outlander, Dragonfly In Amber, Voyager, Drums Of Autum, The Fiery Cross, and the last is A Breath of Snow and Ashes.


In Outlander, a 600-page time-travel romance, strong-willed and sensual Claire Randall leads a double life with a husband in one century, and a lover in another. Torn between fidelity and desire, she struggles to understand the pure intent of her heart. But don't let the number of pages and the Scottish dialect scare you. It's one of the fastest reads you'll have in your library.
While on her second honeymoon in the British Isles, Claire touches a boulder that hurls her back in time to the forbidden Castle Leoch with the MacKenzie clan. Not understanding the forces that brought her there, she becomes ensnared in life-threatening situations with a Scots warrior named James Fraser. But it isn't all spies and drudgery that she must endure. For amid her new surroundings and the terrors she faces, she is lured into love and passion like she's never known before.


Happy reading

I love this series and have read all but the last one. Ms. Gabaldon also has a novel out that relates to this series called "Lord John and the Private Mater". (I think that's the name anyway!)

If you love Diana Gabaldon, read Sara Donati too. I think she was even allowed to mention some of Ms. Gabaldon's characters vaguely in her books as they are set in the same timeframe. Her series starts with “Into the Wilderness”.

I bought the first one of the series but haven't started it yet. Maybe I'll do that tonight!

I read the Fiery Cross on a trip to Ireland. Had no idea it was a series. My sister gave me the last book before we came home. I love them! Can't wait to read the rest. They will answer lots of questions!

Deb,
Sorry it has taken so long to respond. My life has been very chaotic lately.
Anyway... Ireland was wonderful! It has to be one of the most beautiful places on Earth! Driving was an experience. Fortunately my travel agent was kind enough to reserve an automatic. I don't think that I could have shifted gears with the "wrong" hand while driving on the "wrong" side of the road in the "wrong" side of the car! I hope you have the opportunity to go sometime! :)
