Review: Romance too rushed

I want to start my review by saying that my problems with this book may have everything to do with the fact that I am a bit older than the target audience.  Although I enjoyed the first book in this series, this one really didn’t do it for me.  The first book focused a lot on EVE, and what it means to have genetics that allow a person to live in two time periods at once, whereas this book focused almost entirely on the relationship between the two main characters.  I feel that Jackson and Jocelyn’s relationship in 2009 never had time to develop naturally, just went from 0-100 in the span of a couple of weeks.  The romance progressed too fast for me to really enjoy it or believe it, regardless of the fact that they have an established relationship in 1878.  My other problem was that Jocelyn from 2009 didn’t seem mature enough to really handle the seriousness of the relationship.  I did like the supporting characters and felt that their actions were believable and oftentimes mirrored my reactions to what was going on.I urge anyone reading this review to read the book and make your own opinions of it, as I realize (from reading other reviews) that I am in the minority with my viewpoints.I received a copy of this book free in exchange for an honest review.
