Abby's senior year of high school is textbook perfect: She has a handsome and attentive boyfriend, good friends, good grades, and plans to attend college next year. But when she meets Dante Alexander, a foreign-exchange student from Italy, her life suddenly takes a different turn. He's mysterious, and interesting, and unlike anyone she's ever met before. Abby can't deny the growing attraction she feels for him. Nor can she deny the unusual things that seem to happen when Dante is around. Time behaves differently when they are together - traveling too fast or too slow or sometimes seeming to stop altogether. As the mystery unfolds Abby discovers a dangerous secret about Dante and his companions from Italy, a secret that could unravel the very fabric of time. Abby must make a choice and more than one life is at stake and her choice could change everything. Her present. His Past. Can love bring them together in time?
This book is the first in a trilogy. Abby is the heroine of the story, with her love interest as all-too-perfect Italian time-traveler Dante di Alexandro Casella. The story is certainly captivating. Who doesn’t like a little bit of time travel to spice up their life? Throw a handsome Italian poet and lots of ladies are reveling in this series. I myself, like the true romantic skeptic, was amused at the drama of relationships in this book. Rolling my eyes seemed to become second nature while I read. I guess that’s the style now since Twilight made its way into the limelight. The story, however is more than just the love interest between Abby and Dante. It’s about an unconventional time machine made my da Vinci himself; made to throw the most despicable criminals into a prison they can’t escape and where they won’t have to worry about them: the future. Cool huh? For that reason, and that alone, I think this book is worth a peak. If you enjoy high school dating drama and the sudden across-the-room meeting of a handsome stranger, you’ll doubly like this book. And I’m not too petty to admit, there were a few things that left me smiling and tingly. A very few. :)
