Series: Time and Again | Publication Date: April 1, 2006

New York Times bestselling author Nora Roberts enchants readers once again with two unique and intriguing classic tales about passion so powerful it transcends time itself!

Time Was
Stranded in the present, time traveler Caleb Hornblower's biggest problem wasn't returning to the twenty-third century -- it was falling in love with the beguiling Liberty Stone, who showed him a love more powerful than time itself. Though he belonged in the future, how could he leave the past -- and Liberty -- behind?

Times Change
Cynical Jacob Hornblower had followed his brother Caleb into the past, hoping to lure him back home. But his mission was soon forgotten when he found himself captivated by Liberty's spitfire sister, Sunny. Can a man who is down on love understand the truly timeless power of the human heart?

5.0 out of 5 stars I've read this book time and "time and again!", June 19, 2006

These are two stories of brothers who love each other and their parents very much and live in the 23rd century. The sisters they will meet live in the 1980's and were brought up by parents who married very young and were part of the "hippie/flower child" movement.

Any time (no pun intended) you see a book about time travel, you really MUST suspend your belief system as this is FANTASY and science FICTION. I think many reviewers have forgetten that fact! For me, I enjoyed the wonderful character development in these two stories as we get to know Caleb and Libby before they get together and also Jacob and Sunny. We also get to meet a learn a little about Libby and Sunny's parents.

The fun of the future and time travel makes a great vehicle for these stories but what really makes them stick with me are knowing and rooting for the characters!! I have re-read these a couple of times just for the enjoyment.

Lighten up and have fun with these stories!!

3.0 out of 5 stars Time Stood Too Still, May 8, 2006

This review is from: Time And Again: Time Was\Times Change (Mass Market Paperback)

I am an avid Nora fan and I love everything she writes. Some stories are exceptional; others good, but always entertaining. Time and Again was entertaining to a point. Stories of Caleb and Jacob Hornblower crashing down to the 20th century from the 23rd century and each meeting up with the Stone sisters - Liberty and Sunbeam. The first story concentrates on Libby & Caleb and the second story is a carbon copy of the first with the other two siblings. My main objection was the repetitive storylines and the fact that in the first story, there seemed to be more sex than story. It was an okay read but certainly not up the to the high standards and excellent writing that I know Nora is more than capable of providing even the most critical reader. I finished the book, but definitely would not pass it on as a "must" read.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Time Travel I have Read, April 22, 2006

This review is from: Time And Again: Time Was\Times Change (Mass Market Paperback)

There's more time travel than orginially intended since the reader goes back a full decade and a half before cable news, internet mania, pre-emptive strikes, genetically altered foods, etc. References to the heroines' parents as 60's flower children-made-good adds additional refreshing texture. Best of all, this is powerhouse romance with love scenes about love in two stories requiring the transcendence of time for the love to prevail. The black hole concept is very credible. I preferred it to Michael Crichton's disembodyment through time machines that never made sense and the details of which were distracting to the story. Having heroes from the 23rd century come back to early 1990's America beats a trip to medieval chaos any day.
