This is the first book I've read by Dana Bennett, and I was thrilled to learn a sequel is on the way!In *Time Traveler: The Jones Whitman Adventures Begin*, we meet Jones Whitman in 1891. He's nearly finished his Automotron time-traveling device, a detail helpfully reinforced by a timestamp at the start of each chapter. This became really useful as the story progressed, because it jumps between three interwoven time periods. An accidental activation of the Automotron sends Jones to 2012, where h...

I'll admit, I was a bit skeptical about the time travel idea at first. But I was totally wrong! I started reading "Time Traveler: The Jones Whitman Adventures Begin" and immediately fell in love with the characters and the seamless transitions between the past and present. It was so well done, and whether Dana Bennett intended it or not, it gave me a good laugh imagining the scenes in my head as I read. The main character, Jones, traveling from 1891 to 21012 and experiencing all the advancements...

This was the first book I've read by Dana Bennett. *Time Traveler: The Jones Whitman Adventures Begin* is first and foremost a time travel book. But within the pages is where the real magic happens. I love a good Sci-fi read, and this one is wrapped with just enough romance to keep a girl like me flipping pages. I wasn't sure that I would connect to this book the way I do to most, but I am so glad I sat down and read it cover to cover. The wonderful way the author has chosen to explore the ramif...

This book was absolutely adorable! I loved the romantic chivalry displayed by the leading character, Jones Whitman, and the spunky, peppy personality of the leading lady, Darcy Champagne. They had such chemistry that I kept reading "just one more chapter" to see if they would finally give in to their feelings. My favorite part of any romantic or steamy scene is that moment right before anything actually happens, when the air is thick with sexual tension and desire. Dana Bennett built that feelin...

I started out just reading a couple chapters of *Time Traveler: The Jones Whitman Adventures Begin* here and there when Dana Bennett would post something online. I was hooked after the first chapter and bugged Dana Bennett to post more. I don't usually like to read, but this book hooked me from the beginning. Can't wait to see where the Jones Whitman adventures go next! Definitely a page-turner and a great read if you're looking for exciting adventure books.

What a delightful read! I grew up on clean, classic romances like *Pride and Prejudice* (and there’s definitely a Darcy and Elizabeth vibe in how the main character Jones interacts with the women). Later, I got into historical romances like Georgette Heyer’s. While I do enjoy some steamy scenes in my romance novels, it was a refreshing change of pace to read a romance written in that classic, old-school style. The time travel element, the historical flashbacks, and the nods to different cultures...

Okay, I'm biased, but my husband Dana Bennett wrote "Time Traveler: The Jones Whitman Adventures Begin" and I'm absolutely head-over-heels for it. The way he bounces between 1891 and 2012? Genius. The characters are so rich and the love story just *gets* you. Seriously, if you're hunting for a great sci-fi read, grab "Time Traveler: The Jones Whitman Adventures Begin". You won't regret it. Definitely one of my favorite book reviews to write!
