Excellent Time Travel Romance,
By
This review is from: A Love Beyond Time (Paperback)
Dr. Ryan Burke, an anthropologist from the Smithsonian, has accepted an assignment at the Little Big Horn Valley, to document the memories of the children of the survivors of the big battle there in 1876. Ryan is instantly enamored with the culture and history of the Native people, who still call this stark area their home. However, the dig that she is involved with is suspected of selling the archifact finds and she is recruited by an old Indian to help catch the thief. When coming back from doing laundry, the old truck she borrowed breaks down, causing her to walk back to the camp site. Once there, she spies supicious activity from the head of the dig's tent. However, her tent collapses from the storm and she takes up residence in a near by teepee. Every night, she is haunted by visions of a wolf man, who tempts her to come to him. One night, she gives in. When she wakes up, she is transported to 1876, days before the Battle of Little Big Horn. Dillon Wolf is a hot shot attorney, who battles his tribes troubles in Washington, DC. He is determined to shut down the project which he knows is stealing from his people. After a meeting with official, Dillon is involved in an accident, where he is left in an unexplained coma. Ryan and Wolf find each other in the past. From the first actual meeting of the two leads in the story, they are interested in each other. Ryan has difficulty, at time, understanding the reality of the way of life she has chosen to study. Wolf has difficulty understanding why he is drawn to a white woman. However, the author does a wonderful job in explaining both characters and progressing their story. Not once did I feel that love story was forced in any way. It seemed geniune, up until the end. A LOVE BEYOND TIME was an excellent adventure. It is obvious that the author put in valuable research time, that definitely pays off in the story. This book is definitely one of the best I've read of this genre. Even the ending, which can be difficult in a time travel, is without fault and completes the novel well.

A truly great read,
By Shadows (Goshen, CT) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Love Beyond Time (Paperback)
As a fellow author of a Native American novel, I am very picky when reading such a work by another author. I absolutely loved this book. Besides being well written, the story itself is absolutely absorbing. Having visited the site of the Battle of Little Big Horn, I found myself drawn completely back there by Ms. Aitken's on-the-mark descriptions and prose. Bonnie Napoli author of Shadows of the Eclipse

A LOVE BEYOND TIME,
By Decie Girl "Writer" (Tucson AZ USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Love Beyond Time (Paperback)
Judie Aitken has done a superb job with A Love Beyond Time. She takes all of us along with Ryan to the Battle of the Little Horn and we all fall in love with Wolf. There is a wonderfully evocative sense of time and place in her work and her secondary characters like Charley and Buddy are interesting and fun. Often when reading this book I found myself with tears in my eyes and a sense of sorrow for a way of life that was soon to be lost. I particulary liked the way that she effortlessly moved us from the present to the past without gimmicks. This is a great story by a very promising writer. It gets my vote for Favorite Book of the Year.
