[BookStrand Historical Romance, time travel, HEA] There is a traitor in the time travel organization the Lineage, and it's up to new recruit Victoria Vasquez to discover his identity. After an incident (and stolen kiss) on her first assignment in 1923 Egypt, she suspects she knows who it is. Veteran agent Banderan of Ibile is hiding a secret, one that could endanger everything he holds dear. He will do whatever it takes to ensure his goal, no matter who gets in his way. Victoria has fought hard for her independence, and has no time for arrogant know-it-all men. When both Victoria and Banderan are assigned to 1848 Gold Rush California, they find themselves entangled in a web of deceit and lies. And when they are cut off from the Lineage, it will be up to Victoria to decide if the man she has come to love is a traitor or a hero. ** A BookStrand Mainstream Romance
A mild-mannered Public Relations executive by day, and action-packed writer by night, Melissa Jarvis lives in celebrity-friendly Southern California. For over 16 years, she has worked in the public relations industry, doing press releases, bios, and more for clients ranging from the Playboy Jazz Festival to the Los Angeles Mission to JVS. She writes both paranormal romance and urban fantasy, as well as spicy paranormal under the name Melissa L. Robert, and cites Anne McCaffrey and Robert A. Heinlein as big influences. Unfortunately her family won't let her have a dragon in the house. She is the author of the Lineage Time Travel series.
Oh my goodness! I love this series! I was so excited to read this one. I definitely enjoyed it. I wish I could get a job with the Lineage. Nothing sounds more exciting! That would be a dream job, so just that alone already made me want to completely get absorbed into this world. I thought Victoria was a fantastic heroine. I've been having trouble with heroines in a lot of the books I've been reading lately, so this one was a breath of fresh air. She was strong and willing to do what she needed to, even when that wasn't something easy. Banderan took me a little bit longer to warm up to. He seemed a little annoying when I first started reading, but I completely warmed up to him by the end of the novel. There's lots of action and adventure in this story and it made me want to keep turning the pages to find out what was going to happen next. I would definitely recommend this book to science fiction/time travel/romance fans and actually... just anyone looking for a book that will keep them up wanting to finish it! I thoroughly enjoyed this novel and I really do love this series. I think the whole idea is very creative and it's they're great books to sink into and forget about the rest of the world!
