About this item

#1 New York Times bestselling author Nora Roberts begins her Time and Again duology with Time Was—a story of the love between two people that transcends centuries.

When the plane went down in the mountains near her cabin home, Liberty Stone rushed to the scene determined to help somehow. She encountered a miracle when she found the pilot had not only survived the crash but sustained no life-threatening injuries.

Recuperating from minor wounds in his host’s remote cabin, Caleb Hornblower is grateful for Liberty’s care but he must return home—to the twenty-third century. The longer he remains in the past, the more uncertain his future. And as Caleb spends more time with Liberty, he realizes that if he has to give up the woman he’s growing to love, he has no future.

This book kept me reading each page. I wanted so much to be Libby. A true love story from a very gifted writer. Thank you Nora Roberts for another great love story. I have tears running down my face right now at the happy ending.

Age old love story with a different time travel element. Cute quick read. No overly complicated. The love story was a bit rushed

3.0 out of 5 stars A sweet romance

A sweet romance if you want something mindless. The characters are interesting except for the main characters penchant for calling the love interest by his last name - ad nauseum.

Amazing story. I wouldn't have expected it because it started off as sci-fi but it was a great read. Nora Roberts always surprises me .

4.0 out of 5 stars A charming prototype
Reviewed in the United States on September 21, 2012
Before Nora Roberts took the alias of J D Robb to write a futuristic series, she experimented with time travel in a two-book series. This is the first book, in which Cal Hornblower, from the year 2553, accidentally hits a black hole and winds up in Oregon in the present day. Libby Stone helps him out, they fall in love, and the only question is whether he will leave her to return to his own time, take her with him, or stay with her here. Libby is a prototype for later heroines: very intelligent, studious, yet somewhat socially inept. I've seen her in several of Roberts' books, under different names and in different situations. This was written back in the 1990s, and by now the author is fluent in adding shadings to the character, so Libby may seem a bit primitive if you're accustomed to more recent books. But considering that the original was written for category romance (I think it was Silhouette), it's done pretty well. Cal is a typical hero, no need to say more. His fascination with "antiquity", like toothpaste, cars and stoves, gives the book quite a bit of charm and lifts it out of the usual contemporary category romance.

Romantic in the sense that we should all find the one true live of our lives.
