Fantastic book

Aurora works at Immortality Incorporated. One morning she uses her power as Fate to save the life of a young police officer. By doing so she changes the history of mankind with her newest blunder. Her boss Nic Avalon (he is Time) is furious with her, because she ignores all the rules repeatedly. They make a deal; Aurora has to find a way to change fate so that her mistake won't change history permanently. But there is one big problem; Nic and Aurora have been drawn to each other since the very first time they met. This attraction will cause a lot of trouble for both of them. The relationship between Aurora and Nic is really explosive. They act like cats and dogs put together in a closed room. They love to argue and with their mutual attraction their relationship ignites. They both have feelings for one another, but their relationship as employer/employee complicates things. The way which they unravel their problems and conflicts is well described by Lynn Warren. This is a wonderfully funny and emotional story. This book is the start of the Immortality Inc. series and it's a fantastic beginning. The whole idea of Immortality Incorporated is fascinating. Can you imagine going to a job interview and coming back as the immortal Desire or Chaos? I really hope that there will be a lot of sequels to this book.

Having a lot of fun with time

Aurora really botched things this time. And she didn't even know it. As an Aspect at Immoratlity, Incorporated, for two years Aurora's job has been Fate. But this morning when she witnessed an accident waiting to happen, Fate intervened and saved a police officer's life and she was now finding out from her coworkers how she had royally messed things up. That officer was supposed to die and the future has been altered and not for the good. Nic isn't sure what to do with Aurora. Yes, she's been a lot of trouble in the time she's worked for him. But there's just something about her, her enthusiasm, her zest for life, that keeps him slightly off balance and ready for battle whenever she is near. This time things are different, but Nic still gives her an opportunity to make things right and they strike a deal to allow Fate to get the future back on track and to allow Aurora to keep her job. Lynn Warren's Only For This Time is a rollicking fun time with Chaos, Fear, Desire, Fate, and Time himself in the world of Immorality, Inc. and with the lives and love of Nic and Aurora. These two shoot sparks at and through each other with word and touch and their lovemaking is hot! They drive each other insane and finally explode when they can contain themselves no longer. I like the different take on time and how it can be handled or mishandled. And I love Nic and Aurora. They were made for each other and they are as fun as can be. You can't go wrong with book!

Only For This Time by Lynn Warren

Time comes to life in the persona of Nic Avalon, owner of Immortality, Inc. As Time, Nic controls everything in the world-- he can stop or speed up time, can see the past and the future, and has the power to change the outcome of anything that has already happened or will happen. However, he has rigid rules about not interfering with the historical timeline, and will only do so if absolutely necessary and nothing major in the past or future is affected. Nic has a staff of aspects under his control- Death, Desire, Chaos, Fear and Fate. When hired, each employee is given certain powers by Nic and made immortal , to aid him in making sure everything in the world runs smoothly according to the timeline. Should he find it necessary to fire any of them, he will wipe all memory of Immortality, Inc., from their minds and they will no longer be immortal. Nic hired Aurora Deveraux as Fate two years ago, because he liked her spunk and her compassion. However, she is impulsive and drives Nic to distraction as he finds himself having to fix things he decides she shouldn't have changed; she's constantly called on the carpet by him for being too compassionate. Now she's made a serious error by saving the life of a policeman, which will negate the cure for cancer being discovered in the future. Nic reluctantly gives her a chance to fix this mistake; if she can't, she'll lose her job and all memory of Immortality, Inc., and Nic. They end up working together, and the sparks fly as they spend time together, since they've been secretly attracted to each other. Yet Nic feels that as Time he cannot allow himself to have a relationship with anyone, though he's finding Aurora harder and harder to resist. He breaks his own rules and stops time just to have one "taste" of her in the middle of a dance floor, telling himself it will be only this one time and that he'll have to let her go. Even though Aurora doesn't believe she has a chance with Nic, she's desperate to stay near him, and to keep her job. Chaos and Desire tamper with Time's own thread in the timeline to cause mischief between the two, not realizing that Time is more powerful than any of them and will discover what they've done. This causes more trouble between Nic and Aurora, but she fights to stay and determines to show Time that he can't always control everything, that Fate has her own way of making things work out the way they should. This was such an interesting story, about godlike beings running the world as a business in the modern world, with each employee carefully selected to suit the name of his or her aspect name and fulfill their particular role in helping Time control what happens to all the people in the world. It was unique and fun, with a steamy romance building between two opposites. I look forward to the next books in the series to see what's in store for the other aspects, and to read more about how Time and Fate are getting along. Pam P.
