What a wonderful love story, blending the past and present. Doctor Jessica Madison inherits a magical ring from her godfather, transporting her to the past. While the medical technology of the time interest her, it's Doctor Alexander Eliot who intrigues her. For the first time in both their lives, they've found someone who understands them, but can they make a relationship work when they come from different worlds? The author proves love is magical and boundless and defies everything, including time. Jaclyn V.

This is another book in her Babies Series. I love the idea of a middle age couple finding love, helping each other through strife, romance a second time around and struggling through their different beliefs. Mona handled each crisis's with her usual aplomb. I have these three books and other books of Mona's. I recommend this book and give it five stars.Jaclyn V.

If there were ten stars for a book, this would be one of them. Absolutely one of the best book I have read. Gail's handling of such a delicate situation was perfect. A unique story, pacing fast, dialogue and narrative perfect. This is a keeper.<br />

Fantastic book! Loved it. I couldn't put it down, page after page kept me at the edge of my chair in antisapation. Her Russian scenes were great, picture perfect. And-d-d her love scenes are oh, la-la. A must to read. I gave it a five star.<br />
