This is not one star, this is one half a star. And that is a generous half star. This was a Book bub bargain but I still felt duped and that the blurb set an expectation that was far from met. Caveat - I do not like romance novels. Especially those of the Harlequin variety. And I am not a fan, at all, of Fifty Shades of Grey - not because of the subject matter, but because I don't feel the subject matter was handled well. But I digress.When I chose this title, what I was expecting was a time tra...

I was initially pleased with the premise of this book but that pleasure didn't last long.A professor and his graduate student assistant being secretly in love with each other... ok. 20 year age gap? Whatever. Trip back through time with no way to return for 6 weeks? Excellent. And that's where this book lost me.Monique Martin spends chapter after chapter glossing over actual action and focuses instead on how wonderful the characters find each other. Simon spends his time pushing the idea of bein...

Based on the description, I expected to find Out of Time a combination of time travel and historical mystery with a bit of romance. It is true that these elements are present, but really what I found myself reading was a fairly generic romance that could have taken place anywhere, anytime, with some time travel and mystery thrown in, but not sufficiently developed. The story starts out in the present, with a professor of the occult and his assistant finding themselves unexpectedly launched back ...

Hmm, think I must have missed whatever the other reviewers on here found to enjoy about the 'romance' in this book. While it's fair to point out that I generally avoid the romance genre, I'm not averse to a bit of sexual tension to keep a good storyline bubbling along. Unfortunately, I was already getting a bit fed up with these two characters when one of them did the inevitable 'I cannot let them get close to me because I'm such a terrible person' rubbish. It feels like such a cop out of a plot...

I loved this book! I didn't know what to expect and I am so impressed with it. It was so well written and flowed beautifully that you couldn't help getting caught up in the romance between Simon and Elizabeth. It had everything you could want in a fiction novel- suspense, mystery, romance, time travel, paranormal, religion, history, gangsters, humor, action, and adventure. It had two main characters you really bonded with, endearing supporting characters, and a great sexy, bad villain.Simon is a...

This is such a great romantic story with a little twist. And who doesn’t love a twist! We have Professor Simon Cross who teaches a fun class on vampires, zombies and other supernatural entities. Many students take his class because they find it so interesting and fun. Then we have his student aid Elizabeth. Both have feelings for one another but have never acted on it due to many reasons…Some being OOooh Professor Cross is 40 and Elizabeth is in her twenties and he is her boss along with teacher...

Out of Time is a time travel romance that starts out introducing you to Simon Cross, a professor of Occult Studies, and his assistant Elizabeth West. One evening, while looking through Simon’s recently inherited belongings, they come across a pocket watch that belonged to his grandfather. It turns out that the pocket watch is a “vehicle” for time traveling, and they are both picked up from their safe modern day surroundings in California, and thrust back in time to the summer of 1929 in New York...

Here's the thing: I turned 40 last week, and while I know that 40 is the new 30, and I'm only as old as I feel, (blah blah blah, whatever else my birthday cards told me,) I look in the mirror, and I see that my hair is turning grey at an alarming rate, I have wrinkles near the corners of my lips where they never were before, and my boobs are hanging about an inch lower than they were last year (dammit.) The worst of it is that my eyes get tired if I try to read half the night; of course, that's ...

Kindle is opening my horizons and Out of Time is a great example of the wonderful treasures you can find if you get lucky. Despite the 'paranormal romance' subtitle, Out of Time is really more of a time travel romance with a paranormal complication as part of the conflict, than an actual paranormal romance since neither of the leads go bump in the night. But it is a really good time travel romance. An accidental trip to the past, lands Professor Simon Cross and his graduate Assistant Elizabeth W...

I've never read a romance novel before 'Out of Time,' but I'm really glad I gave this one a shot. I enjoyed it from its great premise at the start to its suspenseful finish. I think the strongest element of 'Out of Time' is the writing itself, particularly the dialogue and the characterization of the two main characters (as well as, of course, the romance). Even when there were aspects of the book that I questioned, and that didn't happen often, the strength of the writing and the tension in the...
