    About this ebook

    A lover from another time

    When Ted Ennis steps out the doors of the Criterion Theatre for a cigarette and finds himself in Victorian London, he begins to doubt his sanity. At first he thinks it's all a film set, and is sure that the strikingly handsome young man leaning against a lamppost must be the leading man

    What starts as a sordid transaction with a beautiful rent boy quickly turns into something much deeper, drawing him back again and again as he gets to know Jem and craves meaningful encounters with him.

    But Ted doesn't understand the exact conditions necessary for his trips through timeand for Jem, time may actually be running out. Now Ted has one last shot to get back to Jem and save their relationship, before it's too late

    • 4/5
      I enjoyed this time travel audiobook. Ted was, perhaps, a little impulsive and slow on the uptake, but I blamed it on his closed head injury. Jem is charming and lovable. I really appreciated that he was able to believe Ted about being from the future (or at least not care). I was very glad they didn't stay in Victorian England. Too many time travel books go that route without appreciating the implications.
    • 5/5
      Very nicely written, well paced time-slip novella. Jem is kind and sweet but lively, Ted is just sappy but that's OK. Not a lot of historical content, just a basic romance.
    • 3/5
      This is a sweet time travel romance. It did an excellent job of holding my attention and keeping me entertained. I enjoyed it very much.
