This book starts during the middle of the book "There and Now", when Elisabeth places a call to her cousin Rue. After receiving a mysterious phone call from Elisabeth, Rue goes to their aunts house to find out what is happening to her and ends following her back in time to 1892. Nevertheless, she ends up becoming Marshal Haynes suspect for the house fire that caused the disappearance of Elisabeth and her family during 1892. I do not want to spoil the story so if you want to find out what happens you will have to read the book. However, I can tell you that Rue and the Marshall went back and fourth through time a few times.

I've never been one for sci-fi literature or any types of novels that suggest unrealistic events, but this book made me believe that it is possible to cross back to the past! I'd read the book to which this is a sequel, and couldn't wait for this book to come out. I went to the store weekly to check to see if it was out. I snatched it up and soon as it hit the book shelves. It did not disappoint! But don't read it until after you read the first book!

THERE AND NOW WAS MY FIRST BOOK BY LINDA LAEL MILLER THAT I HAVE READ. THAT WAS YESTERDAY! TODAY, I HAVE READ HERE AND THEN THE STORY ABOUT ELIZABETH'S COUSIN RUE WHO SEARCHES UNTIL SHE FINDS ELIZABETH. THEY HAVE BOTH FOUND THAT THEIR GRANDMOTHER WAS NOT FANATICIZING ABOUT 'THE PAST'. IF YOU AREN'T INTO THESE BOOKS FROM PAGE ONE, THEN YOU JUST DON'T LIKE TIME TRAVEL. THESE WERE MY SECOND AND THIRD TIME TRAVEL BOOKS TO READ. I HAVE GONE TO THE BOOKSTORE TODAY AND BOUGHT ABOUT 60 MORE TO HAVE ON HAND TO READ! ENJOY!
I ALSO BOUGHT ALL LINDA LAEL MILLER BOOKS THAT THEY HAD.

Linda Lael Miller never fails to write well. She pulls of this set of Time Travel series just as well as her vampire set. Time travel is difficult to write, but I found "Here and Then" steamy and suspenseful, and impossible to put down. What a well-written plot! You develop alot of real feeling for the characters. This is exactly what I feel a romance book should read like. A definite recommendation for romance readers that favor time travel and the other supernatural.

...Miller's plots almost manage to seem plausible, and the stories always are captivating. HERE AND THEN is no exception to her series of books. It is touching and riveting and hopeful, even though it clearly is make-believe.

I got into Ms. Miller's books with her vampire stories, and of course had to find everything I could by her. I loved this book, and the first one "There and Now", so much I practically read them in two days. The suspense only added to the fantastic love story, actually making me wish the books would never end.

Without giving away the ins and outs of the book, just let me say that Ms. Miller proves that sunsets were made to be ridden away into!

I read this after reading Lizzie and Jon's story - so I was expecting the same attention to detail. The book was good with the exception of the ending (I won't give that away). How do you spend so much time building to a crescendo only to wrap up the entire book in 3 paragraphs? Also there were several missed opportunities to add to the story. The story ends too soon and left me feeling cheated out of an ending.

I have enjoyed many of Linda Lael Miller's books but this one (and its predecesor) was weak. While the plot had great potential, she didn't really develop it very much. It read like an "abridged" book - just the facts, without many details or character development. Which, to me, made it a lot harder to become involved in the lives of these people or to believe in their responses to the very unusual events that shaped their lives.

I have read many of her books about the west. I love her characters, and a series makes you feel like you are one of them.

The book was good for a change of pace from the western romances I usually read.
