Thomas and Kat have an interesting story to tell. I am curious about the comment that they came from a different planet. The mention of "control" has me intrigued! Great writing, prospero! You have piqued my interest.

If the romance between Thomas and Kat is not too prevalent I think that I’ll enjoy this book after I’ve read the first book in the series.

The sci-fi, suspense, and romance blending seem interesting. I would love to read the first book in the series, though. Thanks for an insightful and detailed review.

I don't like romances or stories involving aliens, so this is a no-go for me, but it does seem to touch on deeper issues than many other romance novels. Thanks for a great review.

You did a very good job describing, what sounds to be, a very complex book. I like historical and fantasy novels so I'll probably give this book a try.

Sounds like this one has a lot going on. This is a great review, as I know what exactly to expect from the book. The sci-fi part is what puts me off, but I'm sure the romance and thriller part of it would be interesting.

History, sci-fi, suspense and romance, sounds like it contains a lot of different elements. I can guess from the review that they have been blended well in the book. But currently I would rather read something light, and this book does not sound like a light read. Maybe I will check it out later when I want to read something intense.

This is a compelling plot to read. I haven’t read the first installment, I loved that this book can be read as a standalone. Definitely look forward to reading it. Thanks for the review.

This story combines sci-fi with a historical romance set in Elizabethan times. It is the second book in the "Anstey" series. Congratulations to the author for being chosen as BOTD. Thanks to the reviewer for your interesting review.

This suspenseful character-driven story is definately an enjoyable book. I like it that the story is told from multiple perspectives and that the book can be read as a standalone novel. However, I won't enjoy the vulgarity and explicit erotic content in this book. Otherwise congrats on the BOTD!

I loved the time traveling romance series like this. I used to read the series in Chinese. This one was being the style of western. Your review give me full description of this one. For me, I can't familiar with the characters actually it need connection.
