Gail reviewed Timeless – By: Alexandra Monir

The first time i looked at this book, I convinced myself to try it, although i thought it didn't sound very good.  20 pages in and i was about to stop reading it but i persevered and the result was…shock, with a little bit of tears and anticipation for the next book.  Timeless is probably the most romantic book i have read this year (so far) which says alot since i usually only read books that involve some form of romance.  The characters in this book express their feelings so deeply that at some times, i feel words couldn't even describe their emotions.  I do admit that at some times the author's descriptions, mainly objects, left me confused.  I had to read them over before i had any sense of what she was saying.  The story follows Michele and her romantic, heartbreaking journey through the past.  Michele is a time travelor.  She has a special skeleton key that can'transport her back to the past, usually to one of her ancestors.  There she meets a boy and essentially sets the entire story.  About two thirds of thee book are spent in the past which is alot considering the book is only about 250 pages.  The research that went in to this novel is also astounding.  At the end of the novel, there is a little section briefly explaining the historical facts mentioned in the story.  After reading them, i'm now very curious about New York (where the story takes place) around the 1900's and the whole aristocratic lives then.  I also remembering crying at some point while reading Timeless.  The climax of the story is when i started, i won't tell you what happened because that would ruin the story but i will tell you that the "to be continued" ending is a happy one so no matter how heartbroken you may feel, know that everything will be alright…in the end.  Timeless truly reveals the loveone can feel for another and how hard they would go to stay with their beloved.  I would definitely recommend this book for all romance readers, i'm sure you won't be disappointed.
