** Read more reviews at my blog Book Crook Liza ** I remember the first time I saw the cover of this book I knew I had to read it. It's gorgeous. It has this haunting feel to it that just sucked me in. I didn't give a crap what it was about, I just knew I had to read it. Then I found out there was time travel involved and I was done for. So, for me Hourglass had two amazing things to live up to. Luckily, it didn't disappoint! I liked Emerson quite a bit. So often times in paranormal books the heroine finds out something is unusual about herself and accepts it without much of a hitch. In Hourglass, we find Emerson already knowing her ability to a certain extent and she has learned to live with. She had already been through a stay at a mental institution resulting after a breakdown from all the stress on her shoulders. So she's a realistic girl. She is weak, but not too weak. She has her strength. I think that is one of the things I liked most about her. She's balanced. The love story was good. I felt it paced itself for a while and then escalated quickly. Teetering on the edge of a little too quickly. I guess it just seemed as if it started out nice and slow and then suddenly escalated to "I love you long time". I think that may be because I feel so used to the drawn out tension and attraction that is usually in books. It wasn't eye roll worthy by any means, but it didn't exactly capture me like it probably could have. I still liked it though and I awww'd a few times. The plot kept me on my toes and there were a lot of twists and turns I didn't anticipate. The writing was well thought out and the style of writing appealed to me. Overall, I liked this quite a bit. And I think it's unfair to have to wait until 2012 to read the next book. I'm horribly impatient.

3.5 stars FBI agent Nick McCall needs help from Jordan Rhodes, heiress. She has the connections that Nick needs to plant a listening device to bring down a ring of criminals laundering money. She agrees to help in exchange for getting her brother released from jail. Overall this was a good contemporary novel that completely sizzled in places and flopped in others. My biggest disappointment was in the portrayal of the heroine. She is simply too perfect. Afterall, how many readers can relate to a female protagonist who looks like Grace Kelly, dresses with all the panache (and budget) of Princess Mary, runs her own successful upmarket business, drives a Maserati and is the daughter of a billionaire? I didn't like her; I didn't dislike her. But she didn't need me to root for her. It was a shoo-in she'd get the FBI guy. There was nothing to mar all this perfection. To remedy this, the author resorted to these peculiar add-ons to the character of Jordan, trying to make her more accessible to the average romance reader - running her own business like a regular, working girl and watching 'Dancing with the Stars' like a babe from the 'burbs. It didn't fit. So, while Jordan didn't work for me, on the other hand.... Nick was gorgeous. And delicious. And smart. And protective. And sweet. And perfect. Julie James does wonderful banter. There was some really, really funny scenes and terrific, witty exchanges. But unfortunately those moments cannot sustain an entire novel. However, it was her sex scenes that completely and delightfully took me my surprise. These well-done scenes, the fabulous FBI hero and light suspense and some moments of truly clever, sparkling dialogue, lifted this novel just above an average read.
