Following the clues in her great-grandmother's diary, Sarah Martin leaves the big city for Moose Creek, Wyoming, hoping to trace her family history. As she stands in the town's church, she has a strange feeling that the figure in the stained glass window is actually calling to her. Before she knows what's happening, Sarah finds herself transported more than one hundred years into the past! It's 1870, and suddenly Sarah must adjust to frontier life. She meets her grandparents and their friend, Joshua Campbell. The handsome, rugged cowboy is searching for a wife, and he thinks it should be her. Sarah, however, doesn't want to interfere with the past, but this stubborn pioneer has somehow captured her heart. Can Sarah and Joshua hope for lasting happiness when she holds a deadly secret in her heart and the force that brought her to Moose Creek begins to call her back?

Editorial Reviews

Review

"5 HEARTS!...There's great dialogue involved in telling this tale. The verbal battles between Joshua and Sarah are priceless...I enjoy the way this story and the characters evolve. It moves quickly and keeps my interest throughout with a lot of action. The love story seems to wax and wane as the two fight their attraction. But, like all the best books, the author keeps us guessing. We're never quite sure what Joshua and Sarah will do but trust Janet Quinn to make sure it works out for the best."--Dee Dailey, The Romance Studio

"4 ROSES!...I am a fan of Janet Quinn's books and I did like this one...I loved both of the characters...Good story well worth a read..."--Mary, A Romance Review --This text refers to the Kindle Edition edition.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fun time travel romance, June 4, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Yesteryear's Love (Time Passages) (Paperback)

Sarah Martin remains jumpy after being assaulted with fists and a knife by a lunatic named Jack. Her best friend LeeAnn takes her to a singles bar where she meets a seemingly nice fellow Josh. However, Jack arrives, grabs Sarah and tries to kill her for the second time. Sarah presses charges, with plenty of witnesses able to testify. That night, Jack makes bail and is released. Sarah flees Los Angeles heading to her great-grandmother's home in Wyoming.

Sarah arrives in Moose Creek where she enters a church and stares at a stained glass window. The next Sarah knows is she has awakened in 1870 where she meets Joshua Campbell, who insists she is his mail order bride. Sarah meets her ancestors, who like everyone else cannot understand Sarah's ways. However, that does not stop Joshua from falling in love with her. She reciprocates his feelings, but rejects his consistent marriage proposals because her time is one-hundred thirty years in the future.

YESTERYEAR'S LOVE is an interesting time travel romance that takes a modern person back to the wild west. The opening chapter in LA adds nothing to the tale. However, once Sarah lands in the nineteenth century, the story line turns enjoyable. Most charming is Sarah's actions and words causing much consternation among the Moose Creek residents. However, Sarah's own reactions seem off-kilter for someone who showed six years of interest in the era starting with her great grandmother's diary. Still Janet Quinn paints a warm tale that leaves readers thoroughly entertained.

Sarah Martin is still upset after being attacked and almost killed by a stalker that is infatuated with her. Her best friend, Lee Ann, took her out for an evening of dancing. Sarah knows she needs to return home, as she has been staying with her friend. Well, it was just a one-time thing. He wouldn't bother her again--or would he? The police must have locked him up--or did they? She needed to get back to her job.

Out for the evening, she meets Josh. Who should appear in the night club--the Stalker. This time, will he finish what he tried before? Josh to the rescue. Can she ever get away from him?

Sarah flees to Moose Creek, Wyoming, where her Great Grandmother lived. Reading the diary of her great grandmother, she enters the church that is still there. Staring up at the stained glass window, Sarah is transported back to 1870. Suddenly, Sarah has to adjust to living the frontier life. She meets her Ancestors and Joshua, who were looking for his mail order bride.

Sarah is falling in love with Joshua, but knows she can never marry him even though he keeps trying over and over to get her to marry .After all, her life is 130 years ahead of what he is living in. Can there love to test the time, can she interfere with the past? Can she have a future with a secret that she has hidden in her heart?

Janet Quinn has written an interesting novel of time travel and takes the readers back to the old west and frontier times. The story line is quite enjoyable. This was a book that was hard to put down.
