Time passes slowly

This book is a good time travel, but it gets slow in a lot of spots. I can normally absorb a book quickly that I can't put down. This one I've been putting down often. It seems to drag in places. Don't get me wrong I think it's worth the read, and the premise is very good. But it's just not an I can't put you down book.

1st OFF Amazon's brief description is for the wrong book!!!!

TRUE DESCRIPTION OF BOOK: A DISTANT PAST; Kristine Gavin was depressed about turning thirty until she received a most unusual gift from her brother. It was a portrait he'd found in the attic of their family home in Virginia, a portrait of a woman who must have been their ancestor; judging from Kris' resemblance to the beauty. But it wasn't the painting that intrigued Kris....And old newspaper clipping about the woman's strange disappearance caught within the frame drew her in. Just as Kris was uncovering a fascinating secret from the past she sensed a change in the air-and found herself thrown back in time into a strange room, staring into the eyes of the sexiest man she had ever seen! AN UNCERTAIN FUTURE; Sean O'Mara froze when he saw his wife Christia standing before him. She had vanished and the news had written about in all of the papers-he had been charged with her murder! MY REVIEW: I liked it... it started out to be very interesting and continued for the most part to carry it's worth. I realized that this book was one of THE 1st Time Travel books that were written and I read it as such. If you have the opportunity to get your hands on this one please do, it doesn't have a lot of humor but Kris is smart and makes the most of her situation (you'll understand this comment better once you read the book) What I didn't like was the time spent in his time is so short.... I would have rather had her time there be longer and not so much time spent in present day. Overall a good read I don't know if I would consider it a "keeper" though.

Good but isn't a keeper!

I liked this audio cassette recording of Constance O'Day Flannery's Time-Kept Promises and I liked the story about the modern day lady named Kris Gavin being transprted back in time and meeting Sean O'Mara and Sean thinking that Kris is his missing lookalike wife who apparently is not a nice person so that would explain why Sean is so rude to Kris and why he is so shocked that the person he thinks is his cold hearted wife is so much nicer and you can understand his being cynical. Though I liked this story I didn't think it was a keeper.

the kind of romance all women love!

The book was thrilling. It was a real page turner. I read it over five years ago and I still remember it. I've been looking fort it for years because it's such a thrilling book. And it ends quite nicely.
