I love time travel romance. The blend of contemporary and historical is always fun because someone is always out of their element - which creates some great conflict.  I can only imagine how difficult it is to write such a story. The author must be adept at understanding the nuances of both genres and keep their characters true to both eras. Not an easy feat.I'm delighted to say Emma Kay has mastered time travel romance, evidenced by her debut release, Time For Love.The story has an interesting premise. Saucy heroine, Alexandra (Alex) Turner, agrees to go back in time through a secret portal to rescue her twin sister, Charlotte. Historical newspapers indicate Charlotte will die within two months if Alex fails. Her task is a serious one so the initial meeting of darkly handsome Nicholas Somerville adds the spice I was waiting for. Since Alex is dressed as a boy of that era, Nicholas has no idea of the effect he has on her.Of course, Nicholas has issues of his own to resolve. He must leave his wayfaring lifestyle as ship's captain behind to take over as ninth Marquess of Oakleigh. To make matters worse, he now must find a suitable wife.The two embark on a series of adventures which threaten their lives and new found love.It's a cute story filled with passion and beautiful descriptions that put the reader right in the heart of the tale. If you enjoy time travel romance, regency historicals and/or feisty heroines, you should definitely read Time For Love.
