Sam's World
Far in the future, when love was unknown and freedom a crime, a lone rebel was desperate to learn what his world had lost. In a daring experiment, he reached into the past - and found a woman unlike any he had ever known...
Marina's fear of this strange and forbidding time was equaled only by her breath taking passion for the man who had brought her there, the man she called Sam. And she knew it was up to her to teach him - and his cold, lonely world - the meaning of love.
In a time where a true union of hearts was outlawed, they dared to break the rules. But what price would they ultimately be forced to pay?

Sam's World was another time-travel romance and I enjoyed it, it was so different like being in an alternative world and Sam was kind of like Tarzan, he wasn't un-civilized or anything but in 2393 AD, the world is a place where there is no disease but also there is no freedom, people are almost homogeneous, all of this because the ruling king, has drugged people to do his bidding and crushes any rebellion.
But Sam is someone who works for the government and knows what is going on is wrong. So, he is building a secret time-machine and slowing down the work on the official one. During one of his experiments, a squirrel and a woman comes along. He is shocked, she in unlike any woman he has ever seen, for one she is endowed and her eye and hair colour is something that is not found in his world. She is kind of a shock to him.
Marina was only jogging when she came to be in a world she doesn't recognize. She seems to be trapped in a room she can't get out of, she creates a ruckus and Sam who needs not to be caught tries to reassure her. The starting scenes were kind of hilarious, imagine how Alice would have felt. Marina at first doesn't believe him, I mean come on it sounds straight out of some horror book, then she first sees he doesn't know what bathroom means, the people don't eat and then they don't touch.
I liked the whole world, it was very realistically done. Sam was a virgin in more ways than one. In the world he lived in, everything was structured and there were rules, no love, no laughter. Marina comes to fall for Sam and even this weird world but Sam wants her safe and gone. Poor Sam he didn't know what to make of her.
I did feel Sam was naive in his thoughts of non-violence but he was a scientist and the ending seemed kind of anti-climatic and abrupt.

I've never read a book with a more innocent and vulnerable hero. I love this so much more than I thought I would.
