Time Travel #1
Whispers through Time
Cortez, Colorado, present day. Someone was looting the ancient Anasazi ruins at Black Mesa-and it was Kurt Richards's job to stop them. Of course, most of the damage had been done a century before, when settlers first discovered the ruins. But there was no way Kurt could change the past-until he slipped down a cliff face and into a time he had only imagined...
Cortez, Colorado, 1890. When he cannot find the modern city of Cortez, Kurt has to accept the unbelievable. But he may be able to change the future when he stumbles upon the Lazy H ranch--where the recently widowed Olivia Hamilton struggles to hold on to her land. Without Kurt's help, she could lose her property--and the ruins that sit on it--to a greedy banker. As their friendship blooms into passion, Kurt is determined to prevent the loss of Olivia's home--and the loss of his own heart to a woman who lives in another century...

First off, I messed up and read An Echo in Time before reading Whispers Though Time. "Echo" is the sequel to this story and can be read alone but it helps to read this book first.
Kurt Richards was betrayed by his first wife. Since then he has had a hard time establishing a relationship with other women. At the beginning of the story he had been dating Charlotte who is in the process of breaking up with him. Like with his first wife, Kurt has put his job of working for the Department of the Interior first.
The Black Mesa is "home" of Kurt's passion. Kurt has made it his life's work studying the Anasazi people who inhabited this protected area many years before. Afraid of robbers carrying off artifacts, he decides to spend the night at the site. That evening he hears a woman crying. Thinking the person could be hurt he goes to investigate but, instead, falls into a ravine.
Upon waking he finds himself outside Cortez, Colorado in 1889. He meets Olivia Hamilton, a widow, who is soon to lose her ranch. The story continues with both fighting their underlying feelings while trying to save the homestead. Sam, a neighbor, also loves Olivia and wants to marry her. And then there is wily Sloan Durrant who is a banker up to no good.
A western romance that includes time travel, Whispers Through Time lacked a certain amount of passion that you would expect to feel between Kurt and Olivia. It seemed as though Olivia didn't know who she wanted. One minute she would remember the best of her deceased husband but was blind to hurtful decisions that he made. Then she was confused by Kurt; did she really believe that he came from the future? And what about Sam...he had always been there helping to make her life easier.
It is slow in some parts but you'll want to read this before taking on An Echo in Time.
