Enchanting Time Travel Romance

I love the imaginative worlds and situations her characters get into. This was delightful light reading. I could not put it down, either. While the book did end a little abruptly, it was fine. We got hints of the sequel involving other characters that I look forward to reading about very much. I wish more authors would reach out and add a touch of science fiction to their books like Tracy Fobes does.

Interesting and absorbing Paranormal Romance

I found this a very interesting and absorbing story. Once I got into it I couldn't put it down. Be aware that it does end somewhat abruptly as it is part 1 of a 3 part series. The second book which continues the story is to be called "Portrait of a Groom" due in September 2005. You can find out more about this author by visiting her website at: www.tracyfobes.com

An intriguing time travel science fiction romance

The pandemic plague devastated the world especially women; few females remain available and the competition for them can be fierce. Most men choose a seemingly easier route to finding a wife. They transport someone from the past through the work of artists like the painter Conlean. In 2005 Philadelphia, research geneticist Jordan studies fertility. However, her work abruptly ends when Conlean's portrait of her pulls her into his time period. She rejects the notion of becoming a fixture on her host's keeper shelf as a consort to Conlean's sire would be, but also finds herself attracted to the artist who brought her through time. Still she wants to go back home as being a prized pampered possession grows tedious and not allowed any risk or work is too difficult on her active mind. Although she feels she belongs in 2005, she also find Conlean's arms feel better than anyone or thing she ever felt before. PORTRAIT OF A BRIDE is an intriguing time travel science fiction romance that paints an interesting future of a world in which the scarcity of females has led the gender to become a valuable commodity. The story line contains a triangle of sorts, but what makes the tale work is the displaced Jordan. She feels hyperactive in this realm that reminds her more of the Dark Ages than her time or how she envisioned the distant future. Science fiction romance readers will appreciate this fine tale that hopefully will have More Tracy Fobes' stories occur in this "devastated" realm. Harriet Klausner
