I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. I have to say, the reason I love time travel stories is because they always have at least a few funny lines because the way we speak now is not the way people spoke 200 years ago, and there are many things now that people had not ever thought of back then. It can be highly entertaining, which this book is. The sleeping beauty discussion was great, I could picture it in my mind. The story is about Gerard, who was born in the 20th century and Serafina, who was born in the 17th century. Serafina needs a man to impersonate her former fiancé, who stole her money, so she has a friend make her a potion to get one, Gerard happens to be the one. The two of them, along with a few friends, work to get her money back, but nothing goes right. The funny and folly make the book a must read. I look forward to reading a lot more from Gwyn.

I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. This is a well written story with a good plot and lots of action. It started a little weirdly with jumping way into the future a couple of times, but once the story really started it got hard to put down. Nicola and Evangeline originally meet when she is a child and he shows her more kindness than her father ever has, but in helping her he gets caught by her father and spends the next 18 years being tortured, while Evangeline gets experimented on. When Evangeline finds out that he is not dead, as she assumed, she breaks the two of them out of their captivity. The two then go after Evangelines father for making a serum that will kill all vampires. I really enjoyed reading this book, it's a very engaging story with characters you can get into.
