5.0 out of 5 stars Stunning Debut - a five!, August 4, 1999

This review is from: An Original Sin (Wink & a Kiss, 3) (Mass Market Paperback)

This is my favorite type of TT where both lovers travel through time. This one's a bit different as he's from the year 1700 and she's from the year 2300 and they find themselves together in bed in the year 2000. This lends itself to all kinds of humor. Not only that but Leith is a Campbell, Four two N (Fortune) is a MacDonald. If you know anything about the Glencoe Massacre (1692) you know the two don't mix. Ah but that's all part of cosmic trouble maker Ganymede's utimate plan to take the two most incompatible people of all time fall in love only to break their hearts by ripping them apart as they realize the stunning news.

She thinks she's been sent to take him back as a love slave to save humanity, he thinks he's been sent to atone for his sins by teaching the ultimate virgin the joys of lovemaking. He's a warrior, she's used to bland surroundings and tame emotions. Throw in a cabbie name Blade, his knife throwing wife, a motorcycle gang, a cat that follows them everywhere and an Elvis loving ice cream man and you've got a hilarious tale.

Rivetting, romantic, real! This one's a five in my book. I highly recommend this read.

4.0 out of 5 stars Unique time travel Romance, March 23, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: An Original Sin (Wink & a Kiss, 3) (Mass Market Paperback)

Clever, funny and imaginative time travel...Fortune MacDonald lives in a future bereft of men. In fact, her job is to manufacture man-models to meet her clients'...well, needs. You can imagine her surprise when she wakes up in the past (our present), in a bed that belongs to the genuine article!

I ordered this book on impulse, not expecting too much, but I was surprised. Two opposites are forcibly brought together by a devilish spirit intent on inflicting pain by ripping them apart after they fall in love. How these two people from different worlds and cultures, come to not only empathize with one another, but to love "beyond reason," to use the author's words, is the meat of the story. Along the way, the reader is treated to a glimpse of the inner workings of a demon mind trying desperately to avoid redemption. I did not give this book 5 stars because I found some of the passages tedious, as the characters resisted their attraction for one another. Paradoxically, I also found the sexual imagery laid on a little thick. Otherwise, the story is as original as the title. Fun to read!
