Born in 2057, Remy Capra never expected a second chance at life in Los Angeles, or her only chance at love in 2007. On the run from a cop who cares more about pain than justice, Remy inadvertently goes 75 years back in time and abruptly arrives at the feet of P.I. Nathan Pierce. Remy needs help, and Nathan finds he wants to offer her even more. There are threats from all sides - are their street smarts and unexpected passion enough to keep them together... and alive?

2.0 out of 5 stars Only OK as an action/suspense cop story with a lot of steamy sex., September 23, 2008

Story Brief:
Remy lived in foster homes and on the streets in the year 2082 in Washington D.C. Kirsten is a vicious cop who has personal issues with Remy, killed Remy's friends and wants to kill Remy. Remy steals some antique coins, one of which transports her back in time to the year 2008 in Los Angeles. Kirsten has a second coin which allows her to transport to the same place and time as Remy. Kirsten now hunts for Remy in 2008 LA.

Meanwhile, Nathan, a former cop, is a bounty hunter in 2008 L.A. He is after Tian. Tian and his thugs want to kill Nathan. When Remy is transported to LA, she arrives in the warehouse Nathan is in at the time. She and Nathan immediately fall in lust with each other. The rest of the story is about good guys chasing bad guys and vice versa. Someone gets kidnapped and tortured, and later gets saved.

Reviewer's Opinion:
The outline of the story, the characters and the plot sound pretty good, but the conversations and writing style had no spark. I wasn't surprised or delighted. It reminded me of the made-for-tv cop shows, all being churned out weekly and similar to each other. It had good fundamentals, but it was too predictable. Maybe the characters could have used a little more personality quirk or style. For those interested, there were a lot of hot and steamy sex scenes.

CAUTION SPOILERS:
I never did fully understand how the magic coins worked. The legend was vague. Nathan burned his hand touching one, but Remy and Kirsten did not burn their hands. I didn't understand why Gabriel shot the people he did at the end. I'm curious as to how Gabriel learned about the coins, and wondered if he had Kirsten's coin. I was also confused about why Gabriel just let certain people walk away at the end without killing them. I don't have to have everything explained for me to enjoy a good story, but I thought I'd mention these confusions.

Story length: 274 pages. Sexual language: strong. Number of sex scenes: 7. Length of sex scenes: 1 short scene (1 page) and 6 long scenes (from 3 to 10 pages). Setting: 2082 Washington D.C. and 2008 Los Angeles. Copyright: 2007. Genre: romantic action, suspense and time travel.

1.0 out of 5 stars could not finish- all sex, no plot, March 6, 2008

This review is from: Chasing Silver (Mass Market Paperback)

I found this book in the Sci-fi section and not the romance section, and it looked like an interesting premise: a person traveling to 2008 from 80 years in the future, bounty hunter, and mystery coin-OK. The first couple of chapters are fine- interesting even, but after that it starts going into far too much sex (think rabbits) and far too little story. I lost interest and started skimming around page 100 and just gave up around page 237. For me, the plot was lost in all of the sex, and I was unable to become interested in the characters.

5.0 out of 5 stars Engaging Time Travel Romantic Suspense!, February 8, 2008

I'd purchased "Chasing Silver" on a friend's recommendation. For a few weeks, it sat on my TBR pile...each time I picked it up, then put it down in lieu of another book in the pile. Finally yesterday morning, I quit procrastinating & decided to read "Chasing Silver". I can honestly tell you that I'm glad I did. This book was so much fun! Suspenseful plot, great characters (finally a female lead that's NOT a member of the "too stupid to live" club unlike many other romances!), hunky lead man, a touch of the paranormal (time travel), uber hot sex scenes...all in all, a great read! Can't wait for the next in the series coming out in the summer of '08!
