Downtime by James Allen

5.0

Great book about FBI agent Morgan Nash who gets pulled back in time to London in the Victorian age. The three men responsible for accidentally "summoning" him take Morgan home to where they board. At first Morgan finds it difficult to adapt and determined to return home. While searching for the book which will be the means to return home, Morgan finds himself attracted to Ezra, one of men responsible for summoning him. Ezra is engaged to be married, but when Morgan finds out the engagement is due to overwhelming pressure and manipulation by Ezra's overbearing father he helps Ezra by supporting him and encouraging him to follow his heart. Even as Morgan delves into the intriguing case of Jack the Ripper, he and Ezra begin a romance that is destined to only last a short time, until Morgan can return to the future.

Morgan and Ezra's relationship was portrayed in the story as sweet, honest, giving and supportive. I liked how everyone boarding in the house became like a family to Morgan. I liked each of the characters individually. I though the story ended perfectly and look forwarding to reading more from this author.
