A review by suze_1624
A Matter of Time, Vol. 1 by Mary Calmes
4.0
An exhausting but enjoyably lightish read, despite the subject matter, not sure Jory will ever be a favourite MC but he does have a certain charm!
I think Jory and Sam's story is told over 4 books, this volume covering books 1 & 2 so on its own, it doesn't have a closure ending,
Jory witnesses a crime and despite being offered witness protection, he goes home - wouldn't you just want to slap him round the head! And that's Jory - bouncy, exuberant, lovable, lonely, intuitive, annoying, unpredictable, looking for love.
Sam Kage is the detective whose surveillance operation Jory scuppered and who eventually succumbs to Jory's charms - but he is still thinking he will marry a nice girl and have kids.
Jory is fairly fleshed out in a WYSIWYG way, Sam is still a bit of an enigma, as well as coming across as a bit of a bully to me.
Still not sure about Dane, he gets a lot of page time for a friend, even an almost-brother one. And I keep thinking someone close to Jory is going to catch a bullet meant for Jory.
It is an emotional rollercoaster with break ups, make ups, shoot outs, matchmaking, unrequited love, kidnapping, double crossing - just about anything you can think of! It won't be everyones cup of tea, but I did quite like it! 3.5*
