review 1: This was a nice anthology. I definitely liked Janet Chapman's "Man from the Moon" best. It had more of an edge to it than her usual work and definitely kept me in suspense. Sandra Hill's "Tomorrow is Another Day" was very much in keeping with her time-traveling Vikings. Veronica Wolff's "The Drowning Sea" was more solemn, though it had a HEA. I thought Trish Jensen's "Sixteen Decades" was fine, but I just couldn't connect with the characters enough to really get into it. That's just me. All in all, this book was certainly worth reading.
review 2: Janet Chapman's "Man from the Moon" - 3- stars. Decent isolated cabin romance setting. Interesting glimpse into futuristic moon man life based on the H's descriptions. Falling in love in five days felt totally ridiculo... moreus. Sandra Hill's "Tomorrow is Another Day" - 2 stars. Kinda meh overall. Not a fan of the "Gone with the Wind" allusions. Didn't find either the H or h particularly appealing. Also, choppy writing that I didn't enjoy reading. Veronica Wolff's "The Drowning Sea" - 3.5-4 stars. Very sweet romance set in 1600s Scotland. Liked the use of time travel to right past wrongs and rediscover true love that the H had thought lost forever. This one felt more full-bodied and believable (in terms of finding love in 80-90 pages) than the others. Told almost entirely from the H's POV. This one is worth reading, and it could have been developed into a full book, in my opinion.Trish Jensen's "Sixteen Decades" - 3 stars. Cute and fantastical with an endearing heroine from the mid-1800s who finds herself in modern day Nevada. Pretty feel good, but the ending was a little abrupt. Overall verdict: Decent time travel anthology, but I'm happy I only borrowed it from the library. less
