I read this book several years ago when I was in high school, back when I started reading romance novels. At that time, after reading a novel, I would just sell them to a used bookstore. However, today after I have enjoyed reading a novel, I actually keep them and believe that someday I will re-read them again. Thus, I regret that I sold this book several years ago when I was in high school. After discovering and reading SSSSOOOO many historical romances, this is still one of the best that I have read out there. It's about a female fire fighter who goes back more than a hundred years ago and meets a fireman (all fire fighters were male back then) and about the huge San Francisco earthquake in 1906. This story is so romantic and beautiful. I really wish I still had it because it's so hard to find. But it's worth the find and if you do find it don't let it go because then it'll be even more hard to find it!!!!

This is the best novel I've read so far from this talented author. Time travel stories are tricky to handle, but Ms. Hallam does it as well as any writer I've found. You have to read carefully, though, because she sprinkles little details throughout her books that turn out to be very important later on. It takes a really skilled writer to do this. I love her work and love this story of old San Francisco. It may be difficult to find (it was for me!), but it's worth the search.

This is a great book. I like the firefighting perspective of it and I thought it was a great book. Buy it now.
