Time travel, historical fiction, and romance. Even though the romance was old fashioned it didn't stick to all the bad habits.

I read a little over half of this book when I stopped. I liked how it started, knowing about the characters, a few moments where their moods changed from a sentence to the next would take me out of the story, but still interesting. About halfway it started to happen more and I didn't like it at all. What really set me desbelief is a spoiler so spoiler alert....
They were living together for three months, and I mean the same chamber, so you can't hide anything really of how you are feeling, your body functions and all that. They finally have sex and they don't really communicate after, so they assume things very quickly. A month goes by and Duncan suspects Taylor might be pregnant because he knows about these things and since they've had sex she hasn't had her period , and they share a chamber so she can't hide when she gets it either. Seriously??? Before they had sex they had shared a room for three months and it is mentioned how Taylor atleast doesn't have to worry about getting her period because of her condition and Duncan is right there and after they have sex he's just noticing this? Seriously? It took that and in the next page another abrupt mood change on his part that had me finally giving it up. I glimpsed the last pages to see how they would get back to their future because I did find that interesting, but I was very done with the book.
So it started out being a three and then it slowly kept going down. The story was promising, but the writing was not what I like.
