Evil counterparts from other parallel universes?! What a wild ride this tale of time travel must have been. It sounds like “limbo” comes with its own set of limitations. Thank you for your engaging review!!

This sci-fi novel has the science of time travel, espionage, and steamy sex scenes. It sounds like a thrilling story. Congratulations to the author for being chosen as BOTD. Thanks to the reviewer for your excellent review.

I would say romance novels are not my favorite, but I see the twist of Marta's life events. I hope her love life does not deceive her.

How exciting! - Science-fiction, suspense, and romance all wrapped in one book with a strong unexpected ending. I have added this clever book to my reading list. Great review!

I'm usually not into romance novels or time travel stories, so I think I'll be passing on this one. However, I might still give it a try since it doesn't seem to take the science too seriously. Thanks for an interesting review.

I like that you called this book a delicious pie which makes me eager to read this book, but also hungry for some pie. I do think that the author was having a bit of fun when naming universes based on television shows which I think is cool. I also like that the series title perfectly matched what genres were embodied in this complex novel. I am interested to read about the third book in this series and other works by this author.

Time travel is my least favorite plot or story point within a book, so I am going to pass.

This is indeed a very beautiful book to read. The use of profanity do mean that this book is for mature readers. I think I will pass by this book. Thanks for the review.

Hawaii Five-O universe is a cheesy name. I appreciate the time travel and science concepts and the danger and thrill that comes along. I also appreciate the love and lust interwoven into the story. It seems to be an engaging read. However, I still have my reservations. Congratulations on the BOTD.
