3 1/2 StarsSydney Dahlquist is stranded in 1810 after her time machine from 2013 failed to send her back to her own time. The rules of time travel include suicide if you are unable to get back to your original time, which Sydney is almost okay with. Soon she's discovered with the time machine, an iPad, and other gadgets from the future, by handsome Miles Griffin. Miles fully accepts her explanation of what the items are, the time from whence they and she came, and that she's stuck in 1810. What he does not accept is her acceptance that death is the only way to preserve the time line. Will Miles be able to convince Sydney to abandon her views about death and the time line and to stay and build a new life with him?This was a cute little time travel romance. Sydney is a likable character that knows for the good of the timeline and future she should follow protocol and eliminate herself by way of "time travel provided death mechanisms." She also knows that she doesn't really want to die. Her emotion level as she realized that she'll never see her family again is realistic and I empathized with her.  We don't really learn a lot about Miles other than he totally has the hots for Sydney and that's okay because the story is more about the present time - which happens to be 1810 - and how or if the choices Sydney makes will affect the future.  There is a steamy love scene that unites the two hearts of the main characters and it was written well.Overall the story is very enjoyable.  It's short so there isn't a lot of useless filler to clog up the dialogue.  It was a bit rushed in places and Miles' quick acceptance of the time travel notion is pretty unbelievable but if you can move beyond those minor hiccups then I think you'll enjoy this time travel/historical romance.Review Copy Courtesy of Entangled Publishing at no cost, in exchange for an honest review.
