4.5 Stars! Time travel has never looked so good! Losing Time is the first book in the all new series, Lost Time. The possibilities are endless in this Sci-Fi romance, as we follow Mimi and Jack on thrill ride through time and space.
Summary:
Urged and escorted by her twin sister, Mimi Wylde is on her dream vacation in hopes of turning her mind and heart from the loss of their parents. When her much more adventurous and spontaneous sister breaks the rules in order to help her realize her dreams, Mimi’s understanding of Science and it’s capabilities are forever fractured. In the blink of an eye, Mimi loses the one person keeping her tethered and gains knowledge of a world much more complex than she could ever imagine. Thrust upon Dr. Jack Evans and his time-traveling team, Mimi must pull up her courage to face a new kind of future that’s embroiled in the past. Jack’s job is to mend time. Stitch it. Fix it. The Royal Academy of Time Surgeons understand that there are consequences to surfing through time. Accidentally picking up a woman from the past has the potential to wreak havoc on both the past and future, so Jack must do what he can to mend what he has helped tear. Unfortunately, Jack’s resolve to return Mimi to her own time slowly crumbles when he realizes she’s the woman from his dreams. But time is running out as an old adversary hops through time, forcing their hand to his own end with Mimi’s sister is caught somewhere in the middle. Can Jack and Mimi realize their dreams before they become nightmares?
Of course, I was nervous to start this book for two reasons. One, it’s a brand new series and I have very high expectations for my number one authors. And two, Science Fiction is not a genre I read a lot of, so I was worried it wouldn’t hold my attention. Almost immediately after starting the book, my worries flew out of mind, forced out by the heart-thumping possibilities of time travel and the awesome Star Trek vibe I got. I adored Mimi. Although we meet her not long after her heart has been broken and she still grieves, she’s a very compelling character. Her intelligence is apparent, and despite her nickname of Mouse, she’s feisty when she needs to be. As someone who asks a lot of questions, Mimi’s tendency to question everything gave me a connection to her, too. Now Jack. He swept me clean off my feet. He’s highly intelligent, fit, strong, and protective. He was also very secretive. Most of this was due to his job, but it was still very frustrating. I don’t feel like we got to know as much about Jack as we did Mimi, but we have two more books to learn more. I loved Mimi and Jack together. Although their relationship has an element of it being destiny that throws them together, it is a gradual build-up between them. Strong feelings are felt, but it never felt rushed or too instant. The time travel component was often-times confusing and very complicated for me, especially at the beginning. With so many rules, the fragility of time, and it’s many consequences when tampered with, it could get quite murky when trying to work it through in my mind. That said, everything is explained more than once, and I felt like I got a better handle on it as the story progressed. It actually felt like I was learning right alongside Mimi. Supporting cast was good, too. Of course I have my favorites, and my not-so-favorites. Lol. I also have one or two I’m wary of, not quite trusting them fully.Everyone, though, was fun to read, and had something to bring to the story. Overall, it was a story I didn’t want to put down. The romance was sweet with a hint of steam, the banter between characters was engaging and entertaining, the story was creative and fresh, and the plot twist blew me away, and has me impatient for more. Nicola’s books always draw me in, and it’s not just due to the romance. I love that her books have an element of true history backing it up. While reading, I found myself looking up different things, and the amount of history (about NASA) was fantastic. Not only does it whet my appetite for the past, but it provides a solid foundation for the story to build on, making it more realistic. This was a job very well done. I’m eagerly awaiting and excited for book two in the series to see where time takes us. ♡
