Review: Time's Arrow - Clare Revell

-


Have you ever seen the film Kate and Leopold , featuring Meg Ryan and Hugh Jackman ?
That's what Clare Revell's new book "Time's Arrow" reminded me of.
Review: Time's Arrow - Clare Revell - November 2011
This story was awesome , one of my all-time movies is Kate and Leopold , in which Leopold happens to travel into the future and falls in love with Kate - a modern 21st Century girl and of course Leopold belongs in the regency era, so Kate must make her choice. The other film along this theme is Lost in Austen , in which the main character falls asleep to Pride and Prejudice in the modern world and then somehow ends up switching places with Elizabeth Bennett , the book character and of course she ends up falling for Mr. Darcy and must make the decision to remain in Mr. Darcy's world or return back to her life in the 21st century.
In Time's Arrow , we meet Jonnie - she has just quit her job after a break-up with her boss Bryan - he decided to cheat on her after she wouldn't sleep with him. Jonnie, needing a break goes to house-sit for her friends and then while out for a walk , she ends up magically transported from the year 2011 to 1840. In 1840, Jonnie meets Lord Sebastian who is to get married and whilst his mother picks out prospects , none of them have what he is looking for . That is not until Jonnie arrives and then begins a journey of language barriers, conflicting tales and of course passionate sparks.  When it is time for Jonnie to make her decision - to return to her life as she knew it or to stay with Lord Sebastian in 1840 , which will she choose ?
A lovely romantic tale that I recommend all she read.

Review: Steel Princess - Book #2 Royal Elite Series - Rina Kent - December 2019 At the end of Book #1, we were left on a cliffhanger of Elsa being pushed into the pool. At the beginning of book #2, she is saved by a newcomer to the school - Knox.  We can see some friendly flirting but nothing more going on between these two, but it riles up Aiden who still has this mindset of "if I can't have her, no-one can" especially since he is supposed to be engaged to Silver Queens. During Book #2 Elsa starts to recall some more memories and goes to Dr.Khan in hopes that he can open her Pandora's box and can restore her full memories of what happened before she was seven years old. We also catch a glimpse during this book of her past and why Aiden King's father blames her for his mother's death and why Aiden considered Elsa a ghost. I liked this book as it was more intense with Elsa's memories and past returning. In Book #2 it is revealed about he...

  Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas - October 2016 As soon as I read Bully by Penelope Douglas, I was in love with this author. So when she released a new one who had my favorite theme of penpals and that whole friend to lovers going on, I knew I had to read it. The book started out with a bit of background where we learned about how Misha and Ryen were placed together in a classroom project penpal program. The pair continues to write to each other right through the year, and then they take it to the next level and continue through the rest of their schooling. Fast forward to high school Misha is in a band and Ryen is out with her friends and they complete a scavenger hunt form. Ryen is not what Misha expected especially from her letters. Tragedy occurs, and Misha turns up at Ryen's school under a fake name. This doesn't go over too well as Ryen is nothing like her letters, in fact, she is as fake as can be and Misha aka Masen hates her, in fact, she...
