~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

HIDDEN TIME is the fourth book in the Prime Time of Life series. I highly recommend reading them all and in the order of release for maximum understanding and enjoyment.

You would think with all of the time traveling back to this year and then the present. Back to that year and then the present. Changing little things that make a difference. Don’t change something that you’re supposed to, and the consequences are big… Charles Manson big! You would think that might get confusing for the reader, but superb continuity and writership kept me intrigued and informed.

By the way, that’s the type of time-traveling witch that Rowena is. Her mother before her was. Her grandmother… and so on back the matriarchal line. Now Rowena is 40, pregnant, and letting Cheesecake (aka Craig Ferguson) know that he’s about to be the father of the next time-traveling witch. That’s where the story begins.

This is heartbreaking, romantic, suspenseful, and made me think. We’re not all good. We’re not all bad. We’re all trying to live the best lives we can make happen.

I read for the romance. Ro and Craig are synonymous with love – right next to Romeo and Juliet, Cleopatra and Anthony, Johnny Cash and June Carter. Sigh!

Description from the publisher:
Rowena Butler never asked to be a time-traveling witch assassin.

Turning forty isn’t as exciting as most people think. There are no fireworks or surprise parties, and I definitely didn’t get hitched overnight. Been there, got the divorce papers to prove it. Nope, none of that.

My welcome to midlife started with being sucked back in time to the 90s.

And that set off a whirlwind.

The one thing my birth mom tried to save me from has caught up with me. I’m the next time-traveling witch assassin.

Don’t get excited, the job comes with a lot of learning curves, mishaps, and having to actually assassinate people. But don’t worry, the people I have to hunt down deserve their karma.

And at least I have a pixie guide through all this. It could be worse. I could still be working retail.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

BORROWED TIME is the first book in the Prime Time of Life series. This series will need to be read in the order of release.

Since I actually lived through the 90s (and earlier) this was a great bit of nostalgia for me. Back to my Future!!

This is easy to read, but great fun, funny, snarky, and unique set-up. Excellent characters kept the wonderful plot moving along and kept me intrigued.

A perfect start to a new series. I’m glad I’m here at the beginning and I’m looking forward to more from Ro and her friends.

Now excuse me while I go contemplate the fact that the 90s is going back nearly 30 years in the past and I was already in my 30s at the time (wahhhhh!).
