HEAVEN'S TIME is one of five time travel romances that Susan Plunkett had written in the late 1990's under the Jove Time Passage series. The others were TIMEPOOL, SILVER TOMORROWS, UNTAMED TIME and REMEMBER LOVE.
Rory McCullough thinks he has seen it all in the last few days. He witnessed his elderly friend Shelen regress in age before promising him that he will meet a very special woman who could become his wife. Before Shelen left him forever they went on a significant outing. And before the day is over he rescued a naked woman from a lake.
Melissa Fuller is an astronaut on a mission gone bad. Thrown back in time to 1887 Washington territory, she meets a man who may be her destiny. She has lost her voice, important memories and her clothes. What more can happen?
Together, Rory and Melissa head back to his home. While traveling he tries to learn more about this unique lady. He believes she is 'the one' but has to convince her. Unaware of her coming from the future, it is hard to understand why she behaves the way she does.
Melissa slowly overcomes some trust issues from a terrible childhood that left her void of having true intimacy. At the same time she has difficulties dressing in the clothes of this time, sharing herself without offending anyone and trying to deduce why she has been sent to this past.
I wanted to rate this story higher but I wanted more emotion in their courtship to make me believe Rory and Melissa were really meant to be together. Ms. Plunkett did a nice job of encouraging me to accept that society was painted the way she wrote in this book. All in all, a solid time travel romance if you like this genre but it needed some tweaking to make it a great love story.

A nice and sweet time-travel romance. Melissa was a well-developed heroine for Rory, who while not as developed and portrayed as practically perfect, was a wonderful hero for her. The story was smoothly written, although I could have done without some of the flowery prose, and had well-defined plotlines. I thought the epilogue was a little bit of a letdown because I would have liked to hear about the children at Freedom House. An easy and otherwise nice read, but it didn't connect with me as much as other books. Still, it really was well-written and the romance between Melissa and Rory was lovely.
