Time Slip
Blush sensuality level: This is a sensual romance (may have explicit love scenes, but not erotic in frequency or type).Shocked by the brutal murder of her colleague, curator Ingrid runs for her life through the dark exhibit halls of the museum where she works—straight into the arms of Temporal Agent Strom. He’s been sent back in time to stop a twenty-sixth-century criminal who is stealing artifacts from the past.Falling in love with Ingrid wasn’t part of the mission. Strom knows they can have no future together. Five hundred years separate them, but the attraction that flares between the couple is impossible to resist. Their brief, passionate affair has consequences. When Strom returns to his own century, Ingrid must find a way to send him a message across time.

I read this book in one sitting and recommended it highly. Don’t let the tag “sweet” fool you. There is plenty of heat and erotica in this tale of a time-traveling Viking and his lady fair.
A villain from the future is returning to the past and stealing historical artifacts to finance his criminal enterprises. Strom leads a group of super-soldiers into the past to capture their enemy. He must also solve the paradox of Ingrid, the beautiful historian shown in an ancient photograph wearing his ancestral family ring. His future and his past are changed by one phrase, “we think she is your wife.”
The character of Ingrid is wonderful. Although lovely and talented, she is not a Mary Sue. The best scene is where she attempts to seduce the savagely handsome and sexy Strom and fails miserably. That leads to a nightclub where the ferocious Strom finds her draped over one of his men, too drunk to stand. His jealousy is epic. Strom’s reluctance has nothing to do with rejecting Ingrid. He has fallen in love with her, heart and soul, but knows he must soon return to the future. By trying mightily to spare her heart and his – Strom ends up hurting them both. However, when he finally succumbs, the writer generates a wave of passion without a graphic anatomy lesson. It is erotic and sensual without being overly explicit.
Not going to give any spoilers. Just suffice it to say that the paradox at the heart of all time travel stories plays well here with a delightful twist and reveal and a serene happily-ever-after.

Nothing like a time-traveling superhero of your very own to make life the fun side of interesting! The tried and true plot of heroine in peril being saved by her white knight gets the time-traveling treatment in this short and yummy book by Caroline McCall.
There are no surprises here – heroine is in trouble, hero saves her. Heroine is hard-headed and gets into more trouble. Hero is half in love with her already, so saves her again.
Don’t think I’ve ruined the story for you -– the sweetness and meat of the story are in the details! Ms. McCall wrote characters who were interesting and who drew you right into the story. Although this was by no means a “suspense” novel, it did keep me turning pages.
A word of warning, the violence is a bit graphic, and those with sensitive imaginations might want to skim through those sections. Conversely, while sometimes it is enough just to know there was violence, sometimes you need to hear just how totally awesome your hero is!
I can wholeheartedly recommend this book for just about everyone! From the folks who like time-travel, to the folks who like some action in their romance, to those who need some “steaminess”, to those who need a tearjerker. There is something for everyone in this book!

I loved this book. All my favourite things, science fiction, time travel, hot hunky heroes, steamy sex, and a bonus is that it's set in my home city and gets all the details right.
26th century Viking Strom has been sent to 21st century Dublin to stop a time-traveling art thief - and possibly to save the life of a woman who is somehow wearing his ring.
Ingrid is the curator of the National Museum and finds herself in the firing line when the new security expert turns out to be a psycho murderer. If it weren't for Strom, she would be his next victim.
Falling in love doesn't guarantee happy endings when you live centuries apart, but that doesn't stop them. The ending is a genuine surprise. Highly recommended.
