Fabulous premise! The heroine travels back in time to destroy the man who will bring about the destruction of Earth. The hero and his sister help her blend into Victorian society and aid in her quest. Of course, along the way Joan and Simon fall in love. I'm glad to see another book is scheduled to be released in April because although the plot ties up neatly here, I'd like to learn more about the world Cooper has created.
This is a little like The Terminator, but with roll reversal. Joan is the assassin. Overall, I liked this, but it was slow in places. I liked how accepting Simon was, but the whole "I can't compromise you" got old. And now that I think about it, Joan told Simon how she felt, but I don't remember Simon confessing his feelings. (And I'm too lazy to go back and look). The 2nd in this series features new people and sounds good, so I most likely will read it.
