Review: Surprising Very Good!
Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 03 9, 2014
I looked at this book a couple of times and it never caught my interest, mainly by looking at the cover.  However, I was pleasantly surprised it was the kind of time travel romance that is my favorite.  The romance that a strong heroine is thrown back in time and meets up with a overbearing, handsome hero.  I really liked that William at the beginning of the book was overtly mean and domineering.  I know most books have that element, however, Tamara Gill, did a really good job with the antagonist relationship. Maddie was strong and true to herself while trying to fit in with her new surroundings.  The towns people and the reader fall in love with her before William.  Also, they did not fall in love immediately.  The chemistry between the characters was great and love scenes were definitely rated R.  However, the sex was not overdone and had a part in the story.  Why not a 5 star rating?  The story had some inconsistencies and characters were written well but not great. The story reminded me of Shelly Thacker's Forever His book which was one of my favorites. Can't wait to read another book by this author!
