I am a big fan of Nora Roberts, but I have to say that I was disappointed in this one. The first story was great, but with the connection that you were led into for the second one, which you knew was inevitable, it just seemed like it was dragged on and on.

This is only the second series I have read by Roberts. I loved the Three Sisters series as it had more plot/less sex than this one. But that being said this was more of what I expected from Roberts. This book was very steamy and the story was inventive but afterwards I felt that there should have been more character development and less sex. I liked that it had both books in the series together though.

Nora Roberts does it again this time adding a little science fiction to the story. This is two books in one. The first story Time Was is about Caleb Hornblower who accidentally travels back in time and tries to figure out how to get back to the 23rd century.

The second story Times Change is about Jacob Hornblower who follows his brother Caleb back into the past hoping to bring him home.

I'm not a big science fiction fan but I loved these.

2 books in one. I enjoyed this book(s) as they were about a set of brothers and a set of sisters that ended up falling in love. I would have liked the author to explore the brothers home in the future, but that didn't happen. I did enjoy the storyline though.

Accidental time-traveling brothers meet twentieth-century sisters. While I normally like time-travel stories, these two were just a little less believable than usual. Still, Roberts is always a good read.

New York Times bestselling author Nora Roberts enchants readers once again with two unique and intriguing classic tales about passion so powerful it transcends time itself!

Time Was
Stranded in the present, time traveler Caleb Hornblower's biggest problem wasn't returning to the twenty-third century -- it was falling in love with the beguiling Liberty Stone, who showed him a love more powerful than time itself. Though he belonged in the future, how could he leave the past -- and Liberty -- behind?

Times Change
Cynical Jacob Hornblower had followed his brother Caleb into the past, hoping to lure him back home. But his mission was soon forgotten when he found himself captivated by Liberty's spitfire sister, Sunny. Can a man who is down on love understand the truly timeless power of the human heart?

Again, this is a two-story book. I absolutely loved the first one about Caleb and Liberty but when I started the second one about Jacob and Sunny, I was afraid it would be exactly the same as the first. I was wrong, though and thoroughly enjoyed both of them. A little predictable, but certainly fun.

Time and Again was pretty disappointing. Not to say I didn't enjoy it, but it didn't keep my attention enough to complete the entire book. I read Time Was and decided to put the books down and move on to other things. So I liked the premise, it just didn't have enough flair, I guess you could say, to keep my attention. It was fun to run into a Nora Roberts book I've never read, though!
