Read this in a day (when I should have been cleaning for my mom's visit!). Heroine is Remy who travels back in time from 2082 Washington D.C. to present day L.A. She lands in the middle of a fire-fight between bounty hunter Nathan and his quarry Tian. Fast read with appealing protagonists. Heroine is tough but not over the top and hero never gets too alpha.
I'll be looking for Isaac's story.

This book had a lot of promise. Sexy, street smart, Remy Capra inexplicably finds herself thrown across the country and 75 years into the past to come face to face with sexy, street smart, bounty hunter Nathan Pierce. I usually love a good time travel and the thing I love about them is the whole ‘fish out of water’ scenario. Finding yourself in a time or place that is so vastly different from where you came from conjures up all sorts of scenarios. However this particular time travel spent next to no time dealing with the fact that the heroine, Remy, is not only in a different city, but a different time. Instead this book spends much of its time on Nathan Pierce trying to capture Tian, a Los Angeles gang member that has eluded him for quite some time.
When Remy ‘drops’ in, immediate sparks fly between her and Nathan and together they try to capture Tian and as a byproduct figure out how she came to be in year 2010. The only clue to how Remy has landed in the past is the silver coins she brings with her – coins she had stolen in her future time.
Although both Remy and Nathan are strong alphas and interesting characters with good back stories, and the chemistry between them is strong I felt the overall mystery of Remy’s time travel was glossed over and dealt with in a cursory or superficial way. I didn’t quite understand the ‘legend’ of the coins and how it worked or why the ‘villains’ were after Remy and the coins. This book had a two prong plot with only one plot being fully explored.
