Unforgettable

Time Travel #6

by Madeline Baker

The last thing Shaye Montgomery needed was another man in her life. Especially a gambler who had been hanged a hundred years before she was born. But Alejandro Valverde wouldn't leave her alone. As she walked the deserted streets of a California ghost town, his image seemed to rise up out of the misty night. On the faded pages of a saloon girl's diary, his exploits came to life. And in her dreams, he was all too real - his hair long and black, his lips full and sensual, his dark, dark eyes filled with a predatory gleam. Then, incredibly, she was drawn into his world, a world where bad men, showdowns and gambling halls had replaced the park rangers, TV shows and malls she knew. Now when she looked into his eyes, she saw a kindred soul, knew that what she needed most in the world was to share a love that was truly UNFORGETTABLE.

About the author

Madeline Ruth was born on 1963 in California, where she raised. She married her high school sweetheart and they have three sons, all handsome enough to be cover models. Growing up, her favorite pastimes were going to the movies and going horseback riding on Saturday mornings at Griffith Park. Madeline has always been "horse happy." A horse was the one thing she asked for on every birthday and every Christmas. Many years later, that dream came true when she bought an Appaloosa mare named Candy—because she was so sweet. Madeline loves animals. Over the years, she's had numerous dogs, cats, fish, mice, hamsters, turtles and birds, and her horse, of course. The most exotic pet was a crocodile that belonged to one of her sons. Currently, she has a terribly spoiled Pomeranian named Teddi, six goldfish, a catfish, and a betta. When she's not writing, Madeline enjoys going to movies and the theater. Her favorite plays are The Phantom of the Opera, The Scarlet Pimpernel and her all-time fave, Beauty and the Beast. She also loves reading, going to lunch with her best friend, collecting Star Wars, The Phantom of the Opera and Beauty and the Beast memorabilia, and playing with the most beautiful, adorable, brilliant grandkids in the world.

Madeline started writing when her children were still at home, and she wrote for several years, finding time to write after her children were in bed and her husband was at work. In true cliché fashion, she wrote the books and put them under the bed, never telling anyone what she was doing, until one day she let a friend read one. Encouraged by her friend's comments, and armed with a copy of Writer's Market supplied by said friend, Madeline began sending out query letters. After six years and 31 rejections, Leisure Books bought Reckless Heart, and she's been writing ever since. After writing several Westerns, Madeline decided to try her hand at something else and wrote her first vampire romance. It was a short story titled "Masquerade" for an anthology. She loved writing that so much that she wrote her first full-length vampire romance, Embrace the Night, and thus Amanda Ashley was born. One of her dreams had been to write for Harlequin, and she accomplished that in 2003 with the publication of her Silhouette Romance novel, Dude Ranch Bride. Madeline loves to hear from her readers. You can reach her online at DarkWritr@aol.com or by mail at PO Box 1703, Whittier, CA 90609-1703.

This is her best series

I've long loved this writer ever since a teen falling in love with Lakota love song but this series every single story has been amazing. I think the slightly paranormal is her forte. Falling in love with her writing and stories all over again.

Good

This is a very good time travel romance. A young woman is swept into the past as she walks through a ghost town from the 1800s. There she meets her true love. Good story with realistic characters.

Shaye Montgomery has a problem. She can’t seem to get Alejandro Valverde to leave her alone. A gambler from a century past is the last thing Shaye needs. But when she sees him even in her dreams, she knows she can’t let him go. And soon she doesn’t have to. Somehow finding herself in the past, Shaye is able to meet and share with Alejandro the love she felt from a century away.

I did like the main characters in this one but.... I've held this rant in long enough. I think it's pretty freaking corny when an author writes a book and the heroine just so happens to be an author, too. I think it goes to say you lack some creativity. Now, depending on how the books written, I generally get over it. But in Madeline Baker's case... I have had enough! Every single one of these females in this time travelers series have been an author or are considering to be one. I mean come on! Are you subtlety suggesting that in order to time travel you need to be an author. This is just getting to be ridiculous beyond ridiculous!
