A REASONABLE TIME: Book #2 in the Various Dimensions series
Book 1 : Time Tattoo
Book 2 : A reasonable Time
Both can be read as stand alone books but Time Tattoo gives a lot of background.
*Suited for mature readers only due to sexual content and language and because Cathy and her friends say what they want and do what they want. Promiscuity is part of their lifes and surroundings and could be offensive to some readers.
He looked at her and she looked away to the street. He could see her biting her lip and wondered what she was thinking.
“Why do you do that?”
She looked back at him. “Do what?”
“Look away when you’re scared I might see what you’re thinking… and biting your lip.”
She laughed and lowered her head. “I thought I was supposed to be the therapist here.”
“So what were you thinking?”
“Jason….”
“C’mon Cathy… you said no analyzing, no taking notes... just talking, right?”
She stared at him a while. “The truth?”
He sat back. “Yes… Always the truth, please. I won’t be offended, I promise.”
She bit her lip again and smiled. “Your eyes. They kind of scare me. And when you look at me I have to look away because they are so… so… well… green.”
He laughed loudly. “Green?”
“Sometimes they are yellow.” She said in a whisper.
He wasn’t smiling any more. “I know, usually when I’m mad, right?”
“Yes.”
The waiter came over and placed their cups in front of them. They kept looking at each other and the air was static. She took a sip of coffee and watched him over her cup and he wanted to drown in her honey brown eyes. He kept watching her.
“Jason.”
“Yes.”
“Stop that.”
“What?”
”Stop looking at me like you want to kiss me.”
He smiled. “Sorry.”
He looked down at his cup but when he lifted it he stopped. She was still watching him. “You can stop that too, you know.”
“What.”
“Looking at me like I’m a chocolate muffin.”
They both snickered and she lowered her cup.
The next moment he was up and leaning over the table and her mouth was on his. He kissed her hard and she opened her mouth to him. He knew he should stop. He knew this was insane. He knew that everyone was probably staring at them with him bending over the table and holding her face but he couldn’t stop.
What the fuck was he doing?

5 books5 followersI read and write.
Okay... I read a lot and write a little.
I should probably put some interesting stuff on here about myself, right?
Mmmm... let's see...
(Yes, I am googling a bio template right now)
To hell with it. I can always come and amend this.
I am a lot of things. I'm a mom, a wife, a sister, daughter, friend, humanist, thrill seeker, music and art lover and much more.
I wish I could pull some Tom Robbins from a hat here. Or maybe I can... hold on...
“Love is the ultimate outlaw. It just won't adhere to any rules. The most any of us can do is to sign on as its accomplice. Instead of vowing to honor and obey, maybe we should swear to aid and abet. That would mean that security is out of the question. The words "make" and "stay" become inappropriate. My love for you has no strings attached. I love you for free.”
― Tom Robbins, Still Life with Woodpecker
Yeah. Go read that. Loved that book. It was a very dear friend who introduced me to Tom Robbins.
So. Just to be clear. I write nothing like Tom Robbins. Not even close.
I write romance.
Sometimes erotic. Sometimes less erotic.
Lets put the rest on hold.
Happy reading.

HOT! AMAZING! WOW!
This book was even better than Time Tattoo, which says quite a lot. Great story and the idea is really unique. I loved how you get a little look back into Time Tattoo without the focus being taken away from the current story too much.
The music...well it was perfect as always.
The only problem I did have with the book was that I WANT MORE! It is definitely a book/series I'll be forcing onto my family and friends!
Everybody needs to add this to their list of must-reads...NOW!
