Also a #TimeTravel romance - with engaging characters, evocative writing, and attention to detail. The way the time travel works is fun, and is adapted in interesting ways. The plot - and the romance - feel both logical and entertaining. Looking forward to the sequel!

First up: Beryl Blue, Time Cop by Janet Raye Stevens

A #TimeTravel romance/mystery/adventure that's very cute. It gets going quickly, and involves quite a few twists and turns. The characters felt realistic and the writing was brisk and often funny, and it ends well while still promising further adventures.

SECONDARY keeps widening the scope. More and more layers and complications get heaped upon the MC that he has to respond to, and navigate... all at once. It's virtually unsurvivable.

The trailer for THE MARTIAN used this music. This is the mood the series is intended to evoke.
