Aah! Time travel... beguiling thought. Ms. Fortin really has talent.  The romance part of the story was well mapped and the timing of both the main characters giving in to their needs was fantastic.  The wait was the best part.  Some parts of the story dragged on in the middle.. but it didnt bore you to leave the book unread.It was a pleasant surprise to have the main characters talk about Voltaire, Hume and their dialogues were lively.  I liked the philosophical touches very much.  Its heartening to see that the characters did not always think about each other's sensual body parts as many romance novels typically do.  There was no dearth for "hotness" in the book, it just was the perfect amount without being overwhelmed with it.There is a difference between vulgarity and sexiness.  This book had everything in the right amount without being crass.  As another reviewer had said, the time traveler did not accept the 21st century in a few seconds and completely went nuts over the heroine.  His acceptance was gradual and the wonderful way the author had portrayed the fight within himself was excellent.  I guess thats how one would feel, out of place and completely baffled.  The intelligence in the characters displayed makes you respect them.After such a struggle to escape the authorities, the few minutes it took for them to get away was a little impractical.. but its fiction after all.  When we can accept time travel and such a preposterous premise, the author can take some liberties.Hugh was absolutely charming, stubborn and a wonderful mix of gentleman - savage.  Claire was no pushover either.  I loved these two characters.  Well mixed in humor made me laugh out loud.I must have read the summary a number of times before I decided to give this book a shot.  I am glad I did.  Thanks Ms. Fortin for giving us a few hours of enjoyable read!  I hope you would give us a few more such intelligent characterization, with enough depth to keep the readers fascinated.  I would enjoy some more dialogues between the characters even though your expression of their thoughts are interesting.
