Time After Time

I was actually surprised by this book, in that I enjoyed it more than I thought I would. I love time-travel novels and a friend gave me this one to read ... now I'm going to find more by the author! I will say it was a very quick and easy read, with some depth and some very comical scenes. Some of the central themes about love and death made me think. I do think Kelly assimilated into 19th century life a little too easily. And that the 19th century people she interacted with seemed to take her bold and unorthodox ways a little too smoothly. However these issues didn't detract from my enjoyment of the story. I especially loved Mammy Clara and Miss O'Days character portrayal of her ...what a rich and rewarding character. All in all, I'm gladI read it. P.S. The story would make for a fabulous movie!

I picked up this book for a hopeful quick read at the beach and was not disappointed! First time reading this author and I am now searching for her other books! Highly recommended!

I loved this book. I felt like the characters were really developed, and you could truly understand the progression of the romantic relationship. I enjoy lots of romance novels, but many develop into love out of the blue! One minute their fighting but lusting and the next they're declaring undying love. This author took me with the characters through their feelings;it felt real. I can't wait to read more of her novels.

Kelly Brennan believes no one is for her ever since her beloved Michael died. Unable to really cope with his death, Kelly became fanatical about her small travel agency throwing all her emotions and time into making it a success. At a wedding party, Kelly suddenly finds herself plunged back one century. Initially Kelly thinks that somehow she just became lost when she strolled into the nearby woods. However, she soon realizes this is not her New Orleans any longer. Widower Daniel Gilmore looks just like Kelly's Michael. He thinks she is a bit daft, but also worries that his daughter believes she is a fairy because of Kelly's green bridesmaid dress. To her surprise, Kelly feels comfortable in her new century though she misses some modern conveniences. She must now persuade Daniel that they belong together but to reach him Kelly must help him heal his emotional scars. As expected by one of the leading authors of time travel romance, Constance O'Day-Flannery has written a powerful tale that provides fans with much pleasure. The story line is fast-paced once Kelly goes back in time. Daniel is a hunk of a leading man who will garner audience empathy. His daughter steals the show at times with her naive pronouncements. Though the mechanism for trip back is not really explained, TIME AFTER TIME Ms O'Day-Flannery successfully entertains the sub-genre reader.Harriet Klausner
