chez_jaeAt work this afternoon, I finished reading Quinn's Way by Rebecca Flanders. It's from Silhouette's "Timeswept" line.
Quinn is a field historian, traveling back in time to record history. An error lands him several years and miles from his intended destination, and he ends up falling out of Houston Malloy's apple tree. Houston doesn't know what to make of the stranger who literally dropped in, but her son Mark is intrigued with Quinn. Houston offers to rent the room over her garage to Quinn, without knowing his true circumstances. While Quinn tries desperately to repair his equipment, he finds himself growing more attracted to Houston. Unfortunately for Quinn, his time here is limited, and extending his stay could mean his death.
The story was interesting, but I've never been fond of time-travel, wherein someone from the future lands in present day. I much prefer a present-day person going back in time. I also had trouble getting on-board with the concept that, 300-400 years in the future, they have little to no record of what is now recorded history. While it explained the need for Quinn to travel back in time, the premise fell flat with me.
Favorite line: "I'm a wimp and a sucker and if there were a law against stupidity I'd be doing ten to life."
We can haz commas, please?
