This was part of a 3 story novella titled "Parlour Games". I've read a couple of books by this author and like her style so I gave this a try. It's very short- about 75 pgs or so and unfortunately that's not enough time to build credible characters. It's paranormal and I'm usually able to suspend my disbelief but I really couldn't buy how this chick was all too wiling to hook up with this guy who kidnapped her and had such bad intentions to start with. Didn't work for me.

Viagem No Tempo

Depois de me decepcionar com "A Second Chance", estava um pouco apreensiva ao começar essa leitura, mas ela me cativou desde o começo. Gostei do casal, torci por eles e amei a solução da autora no final para eles ficarem juntos. Claro, eu poderia ter ficado sem a cena do mocinho dormindo com outra mulher, mesmo tendo acontecido antes dele conhecer a mocinha, e eu também preferiria que tivesse tido menos cenas íntimas do casal e mais um pouco deles como um casal de fato. O foco na parte física foi exagerado na minha humilde opinião, eles pareciam dois coelhos. Um pouco mais de foco na história que se passava ali teria sido melhor, pois tinha uma trama bem interessante se desenrolando ao fundo, mas que acabou relegada ao segundo plano por causa das cenas quentes que apareciam a todo o momento. Eu adoraria que tivesse um epílogo, ou pelo menos mais alguns parágrafos no final (desde que não fossem mais cenas íntimas). Mas a história foi muito boa e eu curti demais. Claro que eu recomendo!

It was a good book but I didn't expect a time-travel novel. I am not a fan of this genre which is why I did two stars because I can't accept the premise of waking up in a new era and just being accepted. Julia Templeton, as always, is a phenomonal writer and has a way of drawing a picture with words.

This was a fun time travel novella. The characters and the story could have been more developed with a longer novel, which is my preference. I don't usually buy novellas, but I like Julia Templeton so I thought I would give it a go. I'm not sorry as it was a very enjoyable read. It was pretty steamy and the characters were appealing. All together an engaging erotic historical romance.
