Book Description

September 13, 2005
The secret of time travel has finally been discovered.

Through a series of extraordinary events, Matt Collins, a 21st century man, is given the opportunity to visit 1896 for a short time. His goal: to locate and bring home the son of a friend, who has vanished while conducting research in that era. While there, he meets the girl of his dreams—but the dream soon turns into a nightmare when he discovers she is destined to die soon.

To attempt to change the past and save her could alter his own future—or destroy it. To let her die is unthinkable. As the time draws near for his final chance to return to the 21st century, Matt must make some difficult decisions that could mean life or death for some of those around him.

Can his rescue mission succeed? Can he protect his new-found love without altering his own future? And can he get back to his own time or will he be trapped in the past forever?

Time is running out, both for the woman he loves and for his return to the present.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Love Out of Time - a great read, November 19, 2005
This review is from: A Love Out Of Time (Paperback)
A Love Out of Time is a great book filled with action and romance. The further into the book I got, the more I found myself unable to put the book down. At times I was on edge as time began to run out for Matt and Amanda.

The writer did an excellent job in bringing the characters to life and painting the picture of what life would have been like in Montrose, Pennsylvania back in 1896.

My heart ached for Matt as he had to decide his and Amanda's fate. Also, Matt had a job to do and would he let his own love for Amanda get in the way of his rescue mission of the son of a dear friend. I could not wait to get to the end of the book to find out how Matt would work it all out - but there is suspense in getting to the final page - you must read this book and find out if Matt is loyal to his rescue mission or if he follows his heart, which could in the end alter history.

A Love Out of Time is an easy read and it's enjoyable. It's filled with action and suspense, but the romance adds much to book. I don't think you will be disappointed with this story.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pleasantly surprised by this book!, November 7, 2005
This review is from: A Love Out Of Time (Paperback)
I was looking for a good adventure novel, saw this one and thought I'd give it a try. I'm glad I did!

This book is very entertaining, easy to read, and has adventure, sci-fi, romance, and suspense, all along with an ending you don't expect. The writer did an excellent job with the story, and has really brought the characters and settings to life. I found myself not wanting to put it down.

This is a great "all-around" book that most people would like. I'd recommend this book to anyone.

2.0 out of 5 stars Save your money, November 24, 2007
This review is from: A Love Out Of Time (Paperback)
If you're looking for a thought-provoking time travel story that will keep you turning pages late into the night, I suggest looking elsewhere. (Time and Again by Jack Finney comes to mind.) This book isn't horrible, but it certainly isn't worth $15. It was the author's first attempt at fiction (kudos for the effort) and it read like it at times -- over-explaining mundane things like how the main character prepared for bed each night and the feelings he felt for the woman of his dreams. Perhaps a young teenage girl would enjoy the love story aspect of this novel but not a seasoned aficionado of time travel fiction. We demand deep characters, vivid descriptions of the time period, a solid plot, and minimal mush. Is that asking too much?
