Spinning Through Time

by Barbara Baldwin

Jaci Eastman believes only reality can be photographed. So how can she photograph a man who doesn’t exist in her time beside a carousel horse that doesn’t exist in his? When Jaci is inadvertently drawn through time to 1874 while photographing a restored carousel from that period, she lands at Wildwood horse farm and must reply on the good graces of its owner, Nicholas Westbrooke. Nicholas is a man who likes routine, but Jaci unwittingly shatters his illusions about women, passion and love. She tells stories of flying machines and teaches science to his niece. She’s outrageous in her dress, manners and language, and yet he finds her irresistible. Jaci has adjusted to life in the nineteenth century and finds herself falling in love with Nicholas. But when he begins carving the exact horse that transported her through time, will she use it to return to her present, or stay and create a new reality? (Previously published as Carousel) Reviews “Wow. Double Wow!

DNF

This started out familiar but I kept reading until I came to a part that let me know I had already read this book under a different title. It was called Carousel. I read it in 2013 but since the cover changed Amazon didn't bother to show that I already owned it.

What made me remember was something I absolutely hate authors doing; Sending a woman back to the 1800's, and her knowing it without a doubt, then sending her out jogging, just like she did at home. Really? Not only did she go jogging but she put on the jeans she arrived in with the neon jogging shorts underneath and she actually took the jeans off and was jogging around the circle that Nicholas used for his horse training. WTH is wrong with authors that they would write that kind of shit.

There are some really good time travel books out there, and they're my all time favorite kinds of reads, this isn't one of them.

I want my 99¢ back.

Spinning Through Time

Great time travel romance. Loved the characters and the storyline. Jaci was one character you wouldn't have thought of being able to exist comfortably in the past but she slowly learns. Nicholas is an alpha male and must be in control of all. Until the two clash with plenty of fireworks.

Loved every word

It was an easy, light hearted book to read I love horses and anything to do with them, and good romance is always hard to resist
