Lost in the Bayou... Selene has always had three great passions: men, food . . . and Gone With the Wind. Still, the glamorous model always seems to be starving for both nourishment and affection. Weary of the petty world of high fashion, she heads to New Orleans for one last shoot before she chucks it all and begins a whole new life. But she doesn't realize that, thanks to an errant voodoo spell, her new life will happen 150 years in the past . . . and in the company of a dark and brooding gentleman who could give Rhett Butler a run for his money! An alarmingly handsome Southern planter, James Baptiste may not have Rhett's cavalier spirit--and his plantation is certainly no Tara! But it's clear as crystal that this virile Creole is a lover worth giving a damn about. And with God as her witness, Selene vows she will never go hungry for this man again!
I love Sandra Hill and this book is one of her best. I can not believe that some people did not love this story. The combination of the humor mixed with romance makes it one of the most enjoyable books I ever read. I did laugh out loud in parts, the characters are great and the story interesting. i highly recommend.
best book ever!

Frankly My Dear was the first book i ever read by Sandra Hill and it was the best ever! This book was outragously funny , it had me laughing out loud! Sandra selente better known as Selene is a supermodel who is fed up with modeling. but just as she is about to quit, while on her last job she is put under a curse that transports her back in time where she meets the dashingly handsome James Baptiste. James thinks she is crazy of course and does not believe that she is from the future. This book is great . I love novels that have good humor , the blonde jokes, the Gone With The Wind references were priceless! I recommend this book to anyone with a good sense of humor.
Very funny , very passionate book

This is the second book by Sandra, the first being THE LAST VIKING and it is absolutely wonderful. Sandra is fast becoming one of my most favorite authors (LYNN KURLAND being my favorite). I howled at her dumb blonde jokes and her arrow-back (aerobics)classes with the servants. Selene's character is just right. She is not the typical blonde Southern Belle, she is a very feisty, passionate woman, even if she doesn't think so. You'll be in stitches at some of the things she get's up to. She helps the women on the plantation with their problems - especially where it concerns their men. She tells them about a sexual position called The Perfect Fit. The morning after the women had learned about it was hillarious. The men were walking about with smiles like the cat who got the cream. Everyone knew what they had all been up to the night before. This book is so incredibly funny, you'll die laughing.James is a dream come true for any woman, (look at the cover and see what I mean). He is just as passionate as Selene. When they make love the pages just sizzle with the heat.Sandra has wrote a very funny and a very passionate book. The other characters in the story are wonderful, with the exception of Victor and James' wife Giselle. I'm looking forward to reading Ettienne's story in SWEETER, SAVAGE LOVE, but first i'm going to read DESPERADO because James and Selene are in that one as well. Well done Sandra.
I stayed up all night reading this excellent book!!!!

I have never took much interest in romance novels. I got this one because it dealed with my two favorite things, time travel and Gone With the Wind. I was not disappointeed. Sandra Hill has a wonderful sense of humor, and I look forward to reading more of her books.
THE BEST NOVEL I HAVE READ IN A LONG TIME!!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 27 years ago
Ms. Hill outdid herself with this brazing, wonderful, laugh-a-minute novel. I laughed until I cried and cried until I laughed. To be honest, I am not one for time-travel and precivil war novels, but I decided to buy it because of the cover. That may sound a bit off beat (never judge a book by it's cover) but just one look at James and Selene and you know they were meant to be. By the second page, I was hooked. I didn't put it down until the end and I was ever so sorry that it ended! A story like that should last forever! Ms. Hill is a terrific romance writer (and the only novelest who ever answered a fan letter from me). Thank you, Sandra, for the many great novels and the fan appreciation!
