About the author
Janice Bennett
60 books10 followers Janice Bennett never intended to be a writer, but with B.A. degrees in anthropology and classical civilizations and an M.A. in folklore and mythology, what choice did she have? Her first jobs included the usual abc's—archaeologist, bookkeeper and college craft instructor. Then, on a whim, she submitted her first novel, a Regency, and life took on a fascinating new twist.
Several books later, she began presenting work-shops, teaching novel writing at a community college, serving as a writing panel member at WorldCons...then became an editor. So far, she has written twenty-six novels and more than twenty novellas and received a number of awards, including two Lifetime Achievement awards from Romantic Times/Rave Reviews.
In her spare time, she spins wool (and pet hair), knits, crochets, weaves, and quilts. She lives in a rural town with her husband, never enough cats, a huge dog, an organic garden—and a computer she swears runs on chocolate chips, not silicon ones, which explains a lot about her.

A TOUCH OF FOREVER had all of the elements for a wonderful time-travel romance. Two strong leading characters. Suspense. Attraction. Unfortunately it lacked believable chemistry between the hero and heroine. Too dry at many times, the story needed a good dose of humor. The longer I read the story the less I cared about what was happening and was looking forward to the end. This is not good news.
I'll be honest and have to admit it is hard to write a time-travel Regency and keep me entertained. Many have tried but the narratives come across as either unbelievable or too silly.
I know time-travel does not exist but if it did I would need an adventure with individuals that kept me intrigued until the last page. If you are interested in this era and enjoy both romance and moving in time try Bella Street's KISS ME, I'M IRISH.

This is one of the first romance novels I read, back in the day...(and surprise, surprise! It's a time travel one!) I hope I have this book buried somewhere, because I'm dying to read it again!
