Customer Reviews

The cover might be outdated, but the story is Timeless

Like another reviewer, I find it harder and harder to find good time-travel romances that I haven't already read. I search reading lists and reviews to try and find good books in this genre. That is why when I find one that I really enjoy, I like to write a review incase others are looking for the same. This book had all the elements I like in a story: time-travel, romance, good character development and an interesting plot. My only complaint about the book (besides the front cover) is Robyn's relationship in the present time. I felt that it was rushed and I never really understood why they were so in love. Other than that, I really enjoyed Robyn's relationship in the past and how the present and the past meshed together in the plot. Please don't let the cover detour you, it might be outdated but the story is Timeless.

Deceptively good

The concept of people switching bodies has been done, and the concept of people time-traveling has been done. I've never read both, and Jasmine Cresswell nailed it. You'd think, "What would one expect from a paperback romance?" yet this is the closest romance I've come to literature quality. The thought of a woman having to live someone else's life, in the context of time travel, struck me sharply and intrigued me.Expectedly, the plot is predictable to a point. Yet it finishes with a jolt, which devastatingly becomes the aching realization that it was inevitable. (I read this in two days, one sitting each day, and I was only able to speculate about what was going to happen!)This book has its short-comings, namely the characters' relationship and some of the round-about dialogues earlier in the book. I felt gypped by the change in pace half-way through the book, and I felt very gypped by the ending. There wasn't a balance established between Robyn's feelings of the two centuries, and I wasn't convinced by her ability to live equally in both. Half-way through, the dialogue characteristic of the first half slowed down, leaving gaps in the characters' changing relationship. I'd like to know how William and Robyn conversed later and how she truly was happy.

loved it

despite its corny Fabio-like front cover, this was a surprisingly well-written book. I found the romance touching and the main characters likeable. William was adorable.

A great read!

It's getting harder to find time travel romance novels that are worth reading. This is one that meets my criteria for a keeper. Although the author uses a plot twist that's been done before, she does it in an entertaining fashion. Usually I flip to the back to find out what happened (that's how I know the book is boring) but with this one I didn't read the ending beforehand!
