Time Slip [Kindle Edition]

Review by Terri: I read this book in one sitting and recommended it highly. Don't let the tag "sweet" fool you. There is plenty of heat and erotica in this tale of a time-traveling Viking and his lady fair.

A villain from the future is returning to the past and stealing historical artifacts to finance his criminal enterprises. Strom leads a group of super-soldiers into the past to capture their enemy. He must also solve the paradox of Ingrid, the beautiful historian shown in an ancient photograph wearing his ancestral family ring. His future and his past are changed by one phrase, "we think she is your wife."

The character of Ingrid is wonderful. Although lovely and talented, she is not a Mary Sue. The best scene is where she attempts to seduce the savagely handsome and sexy Strom and fails miserably. That leads to a nightclub where the ferocious Strom finds her draped over one of his men, too drunk to stand. His jealousy is epic. Strom's reluctance has nothing to do with rejecting Ingrid. He has fallen in love with her, heart and soul, but knows he must soon return to the future. By trying mightily to spare her heart and his - Strom ends up hurting them both. However, when he finally succumbs, the writer generates a wave of passion without a graphic anatomy lesson. It is erotic and sensual without being overly explicit.

Not going to give any spoilers. Just suffice it to say that the paradox at the heart of all time travel stories plays well here with a delightful twist and reveal and a serene happily-ever-after.

I loved this story and can't wait for the next in the series.

It combines all my favourite things: a sexy alpha hero, hot sex, lots of emotion and some great world building.

Time Slip is set in mostly in present day Dublin (and all the details are spot-on, not a single fake accent in sight) and partly in the twenty-sixth centuary. Museum curator Ingrid gets to watch her boss being killed by a security expert - who is really a terrorist from the 26th centuary. She is rescued by Strom, one of the sexiest heroes I've met in a long time.

I won't spoil it for you, but this story has a lot of surprises, not least how Ingrid sends a message across time.

Highly recommended.

Well I think I'm suffering from Repetitive Strain Injury. The "Next Page" button on my Kindle has had a rough ride today (nearly as good as Strom and Ingrid's romp). I've just finished Time Slip. I read it in one sitting - Okay I ignored my kids for a while but I didn't have a choice and before anyone calls child services, I promise they will survive and it was totally worth it.
To me the book drew on everything good about Indiana Jones, Terminator and James Bond and Strom is as dishy as a young Harrison, as tough as Arnie and as cool and edgy as Daniel Craig.
The book wasn't swamped with made-up terminology and far fetched plots that can be off-putting in some science fiction novels. All the futuristic references mentioned never interefered with the progress of the story. I feel spoilt rotten. Thanks Ms McCall. I look forward to your next one.
