"Forever, Lately" by Linore Rose Burkard was a fun read. It isn't a Christian book but it is a clean read. It does have kissing.

I really like the time travel in this one because it was quite interesting how it happened. I like the fact that the main character in this story is an author. I also like that this character's grandma is part of the story, it brings back memories of my relationship with my own grandma.

I seen where the author says she might do a sequel, I hope she does because I want to read more of these characters.

There is a scene that is intense but not so much that I would not want a younger reader to read this book.

I think this book is a book to read when a reader wants to just relax and escape from real life.

I received a complimentary copy from the author and Celebrate Lit. These opinions are my own.

More from Linore

I wanted to write a Regency time travel for years. When I saw the movie “Kate and Leopold” I thought, Oh no! Someone used my idea! But I needn’t have worried. Leopold (Hugh Jackman) was a Victorian gentleman, not a Regencian. Secondly, though I enjoyed the flick, I kept thinking it missed many opportunities for humor. (Having written a screenplay since then, I now realize why it missed so many: tight scripts just don’t have room for all the scenes that could be fun.) When I wrote my story, however, I was able to include a lot of the humor scenes that had been floating around in my head for eons. It’s one of the reasons the book is a lot of fun to read—particularly when the Regency hero appears in the present.

On a side note, I started this book and then dropped it—for years—mostly because I wanted to write it as Christian romance like my other Regencies. But I kept running into roadblocks. And Christian publishers weren’t interested. Finally I realized I had to let God out of MY box and write the story he was giving me, not the one I thought he should give me. After that, it came together remarkably easily and quickly. And, I think, in a very fun way. I might even do a sequel.
