FALLING FOR THE FIFTIES
What would you do if you finally found Mr. Right...in the wrong time?
Maddie Palmer is done with dating. Internet matchmaking landed her one dud after another. Tired, frustrated, and finished with love, Maddie stays the night at a quirky Victorian bed and breakfast on the eve of her grandparents' sixty-fifth wedding anniversary. When she suddenly wakes up in 1956, she gets the unexpected chance to witness her grandparents' fairy tale love unfold and finally learn the secret to finding "the one." But what is she going to do when she meets her own Mr. Right -- only to discover he's Mr. Wrong Time?
Nathanial Hall is set on one mission. Pass his training exam and join the Hurricane Hunters at Keesler Air Force Base. When he mysteriously finds himself on base sixty-five years too early, there can only be one explanation. He has to save the crew destined to die in Hurricane Flossy. But when a beautiful singer snags his heart and derails his carefully planned life, he has to decide if staying in the past is worth risking his entire future.

My Review:
Are you in a reading rut? Willing to shake things up a bit? Suspend logic and open your mind to a whole lot of what-ifs? Might I suggest embarking on a time travel adventure with Stephenia H. McGee as your guide?!
Seriously fun. Quirky. Unusual. A sense of magic mixed with realism that makes time travel seem completely plausible. And to the 1950s! I felt like I'd landed in the middle of a Doris Day movie.
And the way the author pulls this heroine and her hero into the setting -- neither realizing the other is from the future too...well, it's mind blowing amazing, that's what. It was so much fun spotting the little 'future tells' one or the other would let slip and then I was on tenterhooks waiting to find out who was going to figure it out first. So, this isn't really a doomed romance...they just think it is! :-)
There's plenty of action and drama and even some heart-in-throat moments along with some lovely swoony ones! All tied up in an enduring love story. I'm a tad shy of giddy over this literary discovery!

Ohhhhhhhh.....this story line is absolutely intriguing! Reminds me a bit of Linore Rose Burkards "Forever Lately" where the heroine finds herself in Regency time falling in love with a gentleman. I must read this!! :-)

OOoohhh, you've set me down a rabbit hole checking out Linore Rose Burkard!! Alas she's not on audible BUT Forever Lately is on Book Depository and is now sitting in my basket. Yay. Good luck, Trixi!
DeleteOhhhhh, you are in for a treat Kav!!! Can't wait to see what you think after reading "Forever, Lately" ๐ Rollicking fun
DeleteHappy reading ๐
I just read The Cedar Key, my 1st by McGee and really enjoyed her writing. Also just read my 1st time travel, Come Back to Me by Jody Hedlund. So, although I never thought I'd have any interest in this genre, I want to read this one!
ReplyDeleteLove Doris Day too, count me in!
Thanks for the giveaway Kav!

I have a thing for good time travel and it's not a hugely popular genre particularly in Christian Fiction but I've had fun with a few. This one is part of a series as well. Woot. And, thanks to Trixi's urging I have The Cedar Key in my audible library just waiting to be read AND I've preordered Come Back to Me on audible too. Woot! Happy Reading days ahead. Good luck, Tracey!
DeleteI think I own quite a few of this authors, but have yet to read her time travel books. I LOVE time travel, but you're right, Kav. There aren't many time travel books in Christian fiction. I think Lisa Bergren has written some of the betters ones, but I'm willing to try Trixi's rec.

DeleteI have read one time travel by Stephenia and would like to add this one.

You're in, Alison. Good luck!
DeleteCurrently reading Come Back to Me by Jody Hedlund and so far it is soooo good. I love time-travel romance (I first got hooked through Lisa T. Bergren’s River of Time series๐) and I’ve got this series on my TBR!
ReplyDeleteI'm so excited to start that one. And yes, The River of Time series is fabulous. Good luck, Elly!
