I was recently introduced to Olivia Cunning and find her writing wonderful. I read Rock Hard, the first in her series "Sinners on Tour" and was compelled to read more from this imaginative writer. I purchased the first in the series, Backstage Pass along with Loving on Borrowed Time. I can say that I am not disappointed in my purchases. Olivia comes through once again with this creative story.Loving on Borrowed Time: Lovers' Leap (Volume 1), Lara is working at the library and in walks Reece from the future to save her. The only problem is that Lara is not sure what he is saving her from. Quickly, Reece tries to explain to her that the future Lara is going to die and he has to save her for himself as much as for herself. There is an amulet that allows them to travel between the present and the past. They only have about three days before Carl, the owner of the second piece of the amulet, comes to try to stop them. They are transported to the past and have to live in that time period without changing their or others futures. They have to stay true to the customs of the times even though it's difficult for them to do because Lara has some personal conflicts with how women were treated in this era. Reece lets her know that she has to have minimal involvement with setting the future of the people because they are on a different course. They rediscover their love for each other through their journey. I found this tale to be witty and fun. Reece and Lara are great verbal sparring partners and that made this book fun to read. There is plenty of romance in the story and the author truly makes you feel as if you were thrown back in time with them.
