Synopsis

On the eve of a huge, breakout success, a poor but brilliant young game developer is pulled out of her world, and time itself, by a cowboy desperately searching for the daughter he lost two hundred years ago.

Cady McCall is ready to be rich and famous. She has sacrificed everything, putting her work ahead of family and friends. Now with breakout success and huge, insane wealth so close she can taste it, her life is blown apart by Deputy Marshal John "Titanic" Smith, the man who rescues her from two muggers, only to carry her off into history. Lost on the seas of time, Smith is desperate to get home to his family in 1876, and now Cady is lost along with him, facing danger and finding love in Victorian London, Ancient Rome, and in the near-future America of President for Life Donald Trump.

This was a fun read, being partly a fantasy and time travel story, one can feel hesitant to begin with as to whether one can go along for the ride or not, but the logic was sound enough and disbelief adequately suspended to enjoy this speculative time hop tale. And for those who at the end find them......more

Goodreads review by Lisette on July 05, 2018

I thought this book was strange...it's about Cady and John who travel through time or travel to other dimensions. Usually I like time travel, but this felt like hectic. In addition, I didn't feel a connection to any of the characters.......more
