When It's Love

... This novel took me a couple of days to read, instead of my usual couple of hours, and held my interest throughout. I thought the characters were interesting and well drawn, not thin at all. And the 'villains', well, actually only one character, does not have a predicatable 'ending'. I've been sorely disappointed with some purchases lately, but not this one. Highly recommended.

If you're going to read fiction, you know that sometimes you have to believe in the unusual. What do you do for a kind young woman who is caught in a terrible relationship and can only escape by reading Western novels and dreaming of living in those days? Melia finds herself trapped in a world where she doesn't feel at ease and stuck with a relationship that is dangerous, but she can't seem to avoid. After she's beaten up enough times, she convinces herself that relationships are meant to be that way for her. Now, drop into her life Parker, a female outlaw from old Denver who falls through a rip in time and lands in Melia's office building. Parker hides in the walkway above the ceiling and tries to make sense out of what has happened to her. Fortunately, she chooses to hide above Melia's cubicle and, by observing her every day, comes to believe that Melia is someone she can trust to help her out of this situation. If you're Melia, what do you do when everything you've been dreaming about suddenly drops out of the ceiling after work one day and starts to tell you a fantastic story? How will they work it out? Can two worlds be brought together? And what about the brutal ex (maybe) girlfriend? If you suspend your disbelief, you'll find that you like this book. It's worth your time.
