Review: Tale of Time Travel

Others have given summaries, so I'll just tell what I thought. For the most part, I enjoyed the book. There were some cursing and steamy sex scenes I didn't like. I didn't even understand why the first one was included, because, after Marissa and Craig became engaged, she refused sex until after marriage. This didn't correspond with what had already happened. In the first part of the novel, Marissa's continuous refusal to marry Craig went on for way too long, since both are in love with the other. The fact that she kept trying to find her way back to 2012 and leave him forever didn't endear her to me. Craig became a drunk when things got difficult, and this is not good for the novel's hero, either. It also seemed Craig believed she had traveled time way too easily when she showed him her cell phone, driver's license, and a color photograph. There are people working against the couple on two different fronts, so they have this to resolve, as well as their own conflicts. Despite the bad, however, I found the story entertaining.
