"Well written time travel"
In 1869 Wickenberg, Arizona Territory, an angry Trey
Long Walker robs the bank because he feels that the
financial institution failed to play fair with his father
and foreclosed his family's ranch. Though Trey wanted no
gunplay, a gang member fires a shot. Trey splits from his
gang in disgust, but is in danger when a stallion arrives
from a strange mist. Trey rides the horse into modern day Canyon Creek,
Arizona where rancher Amanda Burkett resides. She helps
him heal from his wounds. Not long afterward, thugs
chasing her boyfriend force Amanda and Trey to ride the
horse back to his time. As Amanda and Trey become better
acquainted they fall in love, but in either time period
resides dangerous individuals wanting one or both of them
dead. Highly regarded Madeline Baker provides readers with an
exciting time travel romance. When the story line settles
on either end of the chronological (historical and
contemporary) eras, the tale is top rate as the lead
characters capture the audience's attention. The time
travel subplots occur faster than the All America Futurity
quarter horse race at Ruidoso Downs so that these critical
transition scenes feel abrupt and incomplete. Still the
marvelous Madeline Baker bakes a wonderful novel that will
provide pleasure to fans of historical, contemporary, and
especially time travel romances. Harriet Klausner
