Borrowed Time by Lane Cohen. This is such a fun read about time travel. It all starts when an advanced physics instructor and one of his students create a time machine. They hook up power source found by Samoset one of the the brightest students to the original Time Machine from the movie Time Machine and it actually works. The professor Andy Case and Samoset have two very different versions of where they want to go and what they want to do. Samoset wants to correct wrongs that were done years ago and Andy just wants to mend relationships. Andy fell in love with a married woman while he was married. He left his wife but she stayed with her husband. He was heartbroken. He lost his wife and his soul mate. Now of course as things go their travels don’t go as either one of them planned. They have several adventures and visit towns and times they never could have before. This is a fun, fast paced time travel story. Where would you go if you could travel in a time machine?

Timeless
A beautifully written book that had me turning the pages late into the night. The author captured each moment within the adventures and didn’t skimp on the details. I felt I was present in every moment. The story follows the group as they invent the ability to time travel and then navigate the possible implications and moral dilemmas of doing so. The author has clearly done their homework with the accuracy of past events. There is definitely room for a sequel- which I will definitely read.

OMG! This was such an amazing book. Emma is such a strong and fiery character, although I would have to say I loved Josie more. She was so tiny, yet commanded attention and never let anyone take advantage of her. When Emma disappears from her family’s ranch in Texas, her mother Josie never stops looking for her. She even takes one of the ranch hands to court to have him charged with Emma’s disappearance. Meanwhile, in what seems to be another time period on the ranch, Emma is being held captive by a tribe of secret cave dwelling people. She becomes one of their medicine women and adapts to their way of life, until a terrible disease runs through the tribe. What will happen to Emma? Will Josie ever find her? Will Emma want to return home or will she stay with the tribe?

This is the first piece I’ve read by this author, and it will not be the last. I chose to read this book because I love history and the prospect of time travel has always fascinated me. I remember watching 60’s The Time Machine with my parents, so I was intrigued right away. It is evident that the author is talented and knowledgeable of the times and places included in this book. I am also a lover of wonderfully-written characters and how they interact and grow throughout the story, and I found myself fully engrossed and not wanting to put the book down. This story would make a great series because I know everyone who reads it will be left wanting more and more! Can’t wait to see what this author does next!

I am quite familiar with book written by this author so I had a good feeling that I would enjoy this one too. And that was correct. While a little different from some of her previous stories, I loved the idea of time traveling and was immediately enthralled by this book. This author certainly knows how to tell a story set in a different time and era. Her attention to the details is phenomenal and leaves me wanting to step foot into the story. The characters in this story are probably one of my favorite casts because they were so relatable to me. This story really made me question what I would do and where would I go if given the opportunity to travel through time. I loved this book from the beginning, and I highly recommend it.

“A modern ranch with an ancient secret.”

The Fifth Daughter of Thorn Ranch by Julia Brewer Daily is a western women’s fiction story- a family saga with secrets, drama, mystery, family, conflict, kidnapping, suspense, adventure, action, romance, mother daughter relationship dynamics, and palpable tension.
Ms. Daily has written a richly detailed and vividly descriptive story- her attention to detail really makes this story come to life and has given the characters a realistic and believable quality. The story is told from several POV’s, moving from past to present and back again, which captures the complexities of the storyline really well, and gives the reader a really great vantage point from which to enjoy the story.
I thought the dramatic developments were really well crafted and made the story quite engrossing. This is my favourite of the two books of Ms. Daily’s that I have read, so far, and I look forward to seeing what she does next.
Happy Reading…

Thank you, Julia Brewer Daily!

I have loved this author for all they create from a book I have read by them last year. Ever since I was hooked. This book hooked me just as much! The book had creativity, and screamed that wow factor!

The book was amazing as it was mysterious. I loved the feel I got as I read, you knew something was well not known at first glance with the ranch, but you didn’t have the clues just yet to decipher what it could be! I enjoyed Emma’s as a character as well! She was quite relatable. Sometimes what we think we want vs what people think we should want,….is not the case sometimes we value something no one, not even ourselves have thought of! I was very intrigued, and I wanted to learn the mystery, the author certainly kept me in suspense. When things came together I was more intrigued than ever! The author is amazing at capturing the reader as well as keeping you interested no matter what the story plot is. The book was a fantastic read. I do hope maybe for another installment down the line! Couldn’t get enough! Loved this book!

Amazing author that amazes my mind once again! I completely fell in love with this book and the writing. Defiantly a must read in my books! And most certainly a high recommendation from myself to you!

The Fifth Daughter of Thorn Ranch is an unusual yet unique and captivating modern western with a blend of realism and fantasy. This romance story is told by going back and forth from the past and present and told by different POV’s.

Thorn Ranch a million-acre ranch holds unimaginable beauty with an almost reverence to it and a secret as old as time, as ancient as the land around them. The People, a hidden tribe in the caves on the ranch. There is power and an almost mystical feel to the land they inhabit.

The story explores a captivating world of family, alternative ways, way of life, soul searching and self-reflection for two of the ranches most resilient female heiresses in this harsh yet picturesque setting.

It has everything from tension, revenge, danger, mystery, lots of suspense, romance and adventure. The book does start out slowly but soon picks up and before you know it you are lost.

This is an amazing story. Such a strong and fascinating woman to be the main character, Emma is one of my favorite protagonists of the year. She comes up against a large challenge and overcomes them. This story makes me think of Outlander, with its time travel parts. The story is well-written with such detail that you feel you are there. The switch in POV between Emma and Josie keeps you engaged. I found I just couldn’t put the story down. I was into it from the beginning. I have never been to Texas but felt like, hmmmm, maybe? The tone of the story, the plot and everything just flows so smoothly. It’s a terrific story. Fans of time travel should give this a shot. Western style time travel, new genre? Love!!!

Throughout scientific studies throughout the ages, the idea of time travel has always inspired conversation, theoretical analysis and discussions around the how, why and who, how would it work, why would you want to move through time and who would be the first to make theory into reality.

Up until now, all these conversations have been theoretical in nature, that is until two scientists stumble upon the answers to the how, between the two minds, they manage to convert an old movie prop from “The Time Machine”, a film made in 1960, which inspired them and create something new.

So now they have the who and how, they just need a why, where and when, but what will happen once they have it all figured out, will it all end in disaster, or is this the future in the making? This is a fantasy novel where science fiction becomes science fact and the adventures which go along with it, as you are sucked into an adventure which nothing could prepare you for.

I selected this book because of the cover, which is probably one of the most amazing covers I’ve seen. I was also intrigued because it takes place near my home town, so several of the places mentioned were familiar to me, which was exciting as a reader. I found the science behind the attempts to travel through time interesting – more realistic than other instances of it in old movies, etc., though I will not pretend to understand it all! The threat of changing history and ruining the future is always a concern, but realizing it would change in a different path (kind of like a parallel universe, I guess you could say) seems to make it easier to live with oneself knowing you are making drastic changes to the future. Sam’s intent to change history to save his heritage is easy to understand. How amazing it would be to live a life as if you had made a different decision, without actually changing your existing life. Or does it?

Advanced physics professor, Andy Case fell in love with a married woman, who also fell in love with him. Andy drew further and further away from his wife to become closer to Francie, eventually divorcing his wife. Not only does he leave his wife, but he also loses Francie, who decides to reconcile with her husband because of their daughter. This leaves Case in a turmoil until he befriends one of his advanced physics students, Samoset Brown. Case and Brown work together to turn Case’s grandfather’s time machine movie prop into a working time machine, with the help of a power source that fell out of the sky. They each have their own goals if they were to succeed with the time machine. Samoset wanted to change history while Andy wanted to change his love life. However, neither go as planned. What went wrong? Where do Samoset and Andy end up? Find out in Borrowed Time.
I thoroughly enjoyed Borrowed Time. All the characters were relatable as well as their feelings. Some parts left me questioning and none were really answered, while other parts I felt were somewhat unnecessary, but I still rate it as a 5 star. I could not put it down. With the questions I still have and the cliff hanger ending, I hope there is a sequel coming. Overall, if you love time travel, science fiction, and romance, do not hesitate to pick up Borrowed Time.

Everything from gunslinging in the old west to the feeling of hopeful longing to fit in, this book intertwines many, many themes into its winding pages. Containing everything from historical touches to sci-fi approaches, all while keeping intricate detail within, this book is a melting pot of genres and style.

It was a quick read even with its volume, and the characters were easy to love. Always get the reader thinking on what going back themselves would be like! It was an adventure for sure.

Imagine if you will, a chance to use a time machine to go backward or forward in time. Where would you go and what would you like to see? Is there a monumental event in history that you want to witness or a great injustice that you would change? Would you visit the dinosaurs or check on your kids and grandkids in the future? Would you try to meet your current spouse at an earlier time in life or fast forward to live in the space age? The options are unlimited!
All these questions come into play when an advanced physics professor teams up with his brightest student to create a time machine. Using a power source found by the student Samoset, they attached it to the original movie prop from The Time Machine and away they go on with their adventures, however misguided they may be. Samoset wants to use the machine to correct an injustice to the Native Americans and the Professor wants to go back in time to fix his relationships. Truly, two very different ideas on how to use the time machine. Does it work? Did they make a difference in the past? Was the professor able to fix his relationship and broken heart? How many time streams will they open and become a part of? Will living in the past in a western town be the real answer to finding peace in life or shall they need to be off again on a different path?
My favorite part of the book is all the options that the pair face together and how they work as a team with the dog Uncle Leo to find a suitable place to land and remain for the rest of their lives. I just love the western town that they decided to reside in for a bit. The description of the town and its people is so easy to imagine and picture that it jumps right off the page. Very strong character development makes for a great read and exciting storyline. The saying really is true: You can never go home!

I have always enjoyed the concept of the butterfly effect which I feel really is tied in with most time travel thoughts and ideas and it just overall really peaks my interest. This author does a bang up job of hooking the reader from the very start with the descriptive ways of his writing style, and then loops them into the thoughts, concerns and emotions of those of whom he is writing about. It was definitely a more involved read than a lot of the novels I’ve been picking up lately, and it made me realize how much I enjoy having to visualize and conceptualize as well as enjoy the entertainment authors bring forward in their written works of art.

What would you do if you could change a decision you made? Would you do it all over again, or would you see where fate takes you with some intervention? Get ready to buckle your seat belt because this was an addictive ride. Looking forward to seeing what he brings forward next. Highly recommend!

I would love to see a sequel happen with this one! The fact that the author used real details from the past and even with the Time Machine shows great dedication.

Have you ever wanted to time travel?? This book showed how a professor, Andy, and one of his students, Samoset, successfully travel back in time to change some of our history. What started out as them wanting to change the outcome of Columbus discovering San Salvador became a personal journey for Andy in re-connecting with his love.

It was full of excitement, especially if you like the westerns from the 1800s and full of heartbreak and love. Though I will say I was starting to really dislike Andy at one point, and that turned when he reached out to Pamela and asked her to join him. Crazy enough she actually believed him and did it!

The question Samoset asked Andy about what other event he would change, haven’t we all thought about that and what event we would change? Would it be the same as it was for Samoset and Andy?

This is the first book I have read by Lane Cohen, and I have to say that I loved every minute of it! I thoroughly enjoy discovering a new author that can make you forget about the real world and take you on a wonderful journey.

Borrowed Time takes you on an adventure through time and has a sci-fi feel as it is related to the 1960’s The Time Machine. It is an interesting and relating read because I think everyone wonders what it would be like to time travel. The places you could see, the people you could meet, and the endless possibilities for changing your actions and your life! Will our characters’ dreams come true, or will they alter history forever?

I surely hope this is the start of a series, but even if it isn’t, I’ll be picking up more from this author. You’ll love to be swept away into this lovely time-traveling story.

Have you ever wanted to travel back in time? If so, what would you want to see or do? I’d love to go back to the Bible times and see Jesus and his disciples. I would also love to go back to the time of Abraham Lincoln and meet his former love, Anne Rutledge (who is a family member!).

Andy Case is a physics professor and well, physics can be a bit boring at times. I personally enjoyed my physics classes and loved seeing this topic featured in this book. His students are losing interest but come up with an idea to create a time machine. Andy isn’t quite sure about this idea but, why not give it a try?

There are many accurately described historical events which makes this book intriguing and fun! I was a little surprised about some of the events that were not changed by the group, but then again, maybe they didn’t need to be. Changing on small little feature of an event can change an entire course of history!!

Finally, this book cover is beautiful! It’s very attractive to the eye and is one of the things that attracted me to this book.

A unique time traveling story. A very unique story that draws you in immediately, with relatable characters. Cohen builds great character development, making the characters all that more relatable. I love that it shows the different desires for the time machine, for one’s own personal past relationship and then other to rewrite history. I loved all the historical details and references. The two perspectives are fantastic!
This didn’t end on a cliffhanger, but did end in a way there could be a sequel, which I would most definitely read.

Borrowed Time by Lane Cohen was fantastic. A great mix of sci-fi and westerns. I enjoyed the lessons along the way. There’s so much that goes into stories of time travel. How one little decision can change everything. Should you tamper with the past and how does it affect the future? The characters in this story must face these decisions and deal with the consequences of messing with time. The cover art is beautiful and eye catching. I also enjoyed the quotes in between chapters.

There’s something about time travel books that always get me thinking. What would I do if I was able to go back in time? Borrowed time sure had me hooked. This Sci-fi story has so much depth to it – historical moments, moral consequences, action, relationships, and so much more. The characters were well written and easy to relate to because many of us wonder if time travel can really happen and if so, how might we make it better or worse by our actions.

Borrowed Time by Lane Cohen is a wonderful time travel story with a lot of heart! This book draws you right in, putting you in The Old West dueling with outlaws! I really hope this book has a sequel! Protagonists Case and Samoset both desire to change the past one for an old love and the other to right a wrong done to his people. They are both really relatable and I instantly wanted to know more about them. Their flaws and motives are wholesome and make the characters feel real. I really enjoyed seeing how they changed as they got closer towards their discovery because you could truly feel the excitement! The pop culture references and the beautifully vivid writing and dialogue also helped bring this book to life. The accurate historical detail in it adds such grand adventure! There are many moments in this book that I didn’t expect and I was delightfully thrilled! In all, Lane Cohen provides a fun and quirky adventure that makes you think about what you would do if you could change the past and how it could affect the future? I highly recommend this book!

Borrowed Time is another novel by Lane Cohen. It is a time travel fantasy with some sci-fi elements, drama, historical details, adventure, moral decisions, lots of dialogue, and interesting characters- with a bit of a nod to the 1960’s movie ‘The Time Machine”. If you could go back in time what would you do? Would you change your own history, or try to right some terrible wrongs? That is what these characters have to deal with and gonthrough in this book. They have to adapt to what they are given.  We follow along on as they travel back in time and get a front row seat to all the intriguing development and what they are going through. I think with how things have played out there may be another book or so.

Borrowed Time is a sci fi tale that takes you on a journey through time. I usually don’t look at covers, blurbs etc but this cover caught my eye and had my imagination going. Lane incorporates the time machine from the classic 1960’s movie The Time Machine bringing about his original take on time travel and new adventures. You can tell where his passion lies.

In this book we see present day characters duelling it out with outlaws in an old western saloon. I immediately pictured cowboy hats, swaggering with the spurs on their boots, guns blazing, a table or two being tipped over with cards and tokens and chips falling to the floor.

The story is intriguing and interesting and will keep you interested till the end.

Everyone is at odds on where the team should travel and what to do. Who will be the one to get what they want? How will what they do affect the here and now?

This was an interesting read. The author is new to me so I wasn’t sure what to expect but was very pleasantly surprised. I loved the whole concept of time travel and the authors attention to history detail really made this story come alive for me.

I also like how the author shows the story from two different peoples perspectives. We have the teacher who wants to travel back in time to stop a love affair he had from ending in heartbreak. That is his main reason for creating the time machine and that’s all he cares about.
The student on the other hand has a more worth cause. He wants to travel back in time to stop the killing of the Indigenous people. But what effects will their time travel have on the current time?
This book is a interesting read, full of adventure and historical knowledge. It is also a good example of how different people would treat a time machine in different ways, some for their own ends and others to help people in need.

I really enjoyed this book and getting caught up in their journeys.
