I found this book to be a surprisingly wonderful story. I hesitated about reading it because I do not read romance and the title implicates a possible romantic tale (boring). Upon finally picking it up, I was drawn in immediately. It's woven in a way that most of it is from Henry's (the time traveler's) perspective. As he bounces into different time periods (mostly, but not always, within his past life) he is able to visit with the people in his past and even frequently visits with himself. Not being able to control these jaunts into time, he also encounters the complications and difficulties caused. Going into the reasons he does this or the difficulties he encounters would give away too much. But it is a thoroughly enjoyable read and a beautifully woven tale-and I laughed and I cried-and I loved it! Highly recommended!
