If you are a fan of the SBC series; Causing Havoc, Simon Says, etc., don't expect this to be the same. This is a sci-fi futuristic time travel flik using a character from the SBC series. I had been waiting for this release and even pre-ordered it. I was SO! disappointed. Not what I was looking far.

I am a huge fan of Lori, and even like her new paranormal "Servant" series. This one is a little different than her other SBC stories, and you would never know it by reading the back cover, which is why I think a lot of readers were a little confused after reading it. While it is part of the SBC series, it deals very little with the other SBC books. I would classify it more as a Fantasy romance, instead of her usual contemporary romance, which is why Lori has added a special note to her website that she is not leaving the genre that made her a bestselling author.
I gave this book 3 stars. I liked the main characters, but just did not get into the story like I usually do with her other SBC books (Simon Says is still my fav). I have to say I was a little disappointed after reading this anxiously awaited story. If this is your first Lori Foster, this is unlike any of her other books, if not then just be forwarned for something a little different.

I was a little diappointed when I read reviews that the book I had been so looking forward to involved time travel and not the comtemporary SBC storyline that I was expecting. After reading the book, I thought it was very well done. It was a fast read and I liked the characters although the ending was easily predicted. Overall, not my favorite Foster book but it was still enjoyable.

This book was a little different than Lori's other SBC books, but I thought it was very good. Be prepared as it is nothing like the other SBC books and borders on science fiction. I really liked the book though.

I loved this book! I don't really get the negative comments left about it by others... yes, this book has a science fiction quality to it, but it is not Isaac Asimov.
This book may not appeal to all, but it is my cup of tea. Highly entertaining and truly does reflect Lori's style. Of course, I do like sci-fi. I found the characters were consistent throughout the novel and very endearing.

After reading posted reviews, I was prepared for the differences in this SBC series. However, the story was quick fun read - different yes but since I knew about the change, not unpleasant!

Big disappointment! I don't mind the paranormal genre, but when I'm buying a book that sounds like a contemporary romance & it turns into some weird science fiction book that doesn't have much at all to do with the SBC series I was expecting......blech!
If you've been waiting for this one, I strongly suggest skipping it. It might be Lori Foster, but it just isn't worth it!

This is not your usual Lori Foster book. It is more science fiction than her regular contemporary books. If you are reading Lori Foster for the first time please do not judge her writing on this book alone. I read the whole book but this is not my kind of story. I like her contemporary novels. I can only give this 3 stars. I hope she does not switch to this science fiction or paranormal as she is writing under a different name. Not my kind of book I expect from Ms. Foster.

This book was a total bust! A stab at futuristic writing? If so, Lori, forget about it.

Lori Foster was the author who turned me on to reading in general and romance more specifically. I was counting down the days till this release. I was very disappointed. I only made it to the third chapter. I enjoy the straight forward contemp. romances. I do not enjoy reading books based in a futuristic setting, thus I did not enjoy this book. Lori Foster is an excellent writer and I hope she returns to write the novels we love and enjoy.
