This book I read last night. I'm not a heavy sleeper, and being aware i had to sleep sometime last night I chose a short book. I've been unable to concentrate on any other book since i started reading twilight, so i chose this book cause it doesnt require thought - and i wouldnt recommend u try engaging your brain whilst reading this... definitly brain not required book.
official description "Sierra Masters isn’t shocked by being transported 125 years into the past- it simply proves aliens do exist. What shocks her is how easily she adjusts to living in 1883, and how quickly she falls in love with the handsome hunk Jesse Jones. Par for her life; she finally finds the man of her dreams, but will lose him in thirty days when the aliens return for her.
Jesse Jones is shocked by the girl he finds on the Nebraska prairie, she wears jewelry in her belly button, tries to shave her legs with his straight-edged razor, and insists an alien gang abducted her. He plans to wash his hands of her until a Shaman claims Sierra Masters is Jesse's woman from the future. Then, as she wiggles her way into his heart, he vows to find a way to make her stay in his time. "
Ok this book is only 81 pages and its a sensual romance (hence not in your face)
You can't expect a lot in 81 pages and u dont get a lot... but it tided me over for like an hour I guess... I liked the idea... modern girl transported to the west in 1800s nice idea... and it started ok... but theres just too many gaps... I never really got to know the heroine, nor the hero all u know is she's been sacked, her fiance dumped her (I think), no family and now she's house sitting. Is she a good person, is she a murderer... u just dont know...
She's lumbered with a cat, who she doesnt like, that runs off and as she leaps to catch it she, and the cat, fall off a cliff and land in 1880s. The big problem is the alien thing - she jumps to the conclusion that aliens have dumped her in the past and somehow she convinces herself shes only there for 30 days... 'Oh dear I'm transported through time - ahh must be the aliens they'll come back for me in I guess 30 days'
WHAT!?
I dont think so...believe me there is no alien hint outside of what she thinks.... maybe if she'd been a nerd, or had experience of alien abductions I could believe that... but... no... didnt know the character that well.
and then we have this bloke Jesse who gives her houseroom even though he doesnt know her... and in the 1880s!! Surely it didnt look good that a single man shares his house with a single unmarried female - but then maybe im wrong?
The Indian thing was the most annoying thing - obviously put there to explain EVERYTHING - should it come this easy?
He tells Jesse Sierra was sent through time to be his woman... and Jesse accepts it and within weeks they're married - its just way too easy!!
Hes been to war, surely he'll be scarred by it... and men an women were not equall at the time and yet he lets her walk all over him!?
Now I sit here the story does sound pants - and it does get worse... there are so many holes in this story - if any other person had started reading it they would have stopped within a few pages....
Me, I can read anything... and as i explained earlier- my brain wasnt fully functional at the time so I wasn't thinking clearly and at the time I enjoyed it for what it was; a very short soppy story and it helped me escape for a little while and as the ebook only cost $3 I suppose it was worth the money... I suppose...
