Crossing In Time

crossing_in_timeThis story of star-crossed—nay, universe-crossed—lovers flung across space and time gallops, carrying readers on a witty adventure.

DL Orton has a keen eye for details and a sure hand with words. Her deft dialogue guarantees that each character is believable and all serve a real purpose. A reader can see, feel and smell the ocean, the snow, the suffocation of being underground despite knowing the cave is enormous. As many answers as there are, more questions remain, begging for not just a sequel but also spin-offs in which secondary characters take the leading roles.

It was a pleasure to read this nicely edited book. My mental red pencil lay largely inactive, gaining Crossing in Time a rating of Excellent in proofreading column. It is a dimension-hopping tale, and the author handled those details well, although it could still feel confusing to those of us stuck in one place and time.

Oh, and the romance? It’s hot.
