Praise for Tangled in Time: "Tangled in Time is a sweet read in so many respects. Ms. Jones is a wonderful writer whose well-written plots and likable characters always make for absorbing, exciting reads - the great news about that being that she has so many more characters from these first three books awaiting their own stories. I just hope we don't have to wait too long for the next one." Two Lips Reviews, 4 and 1/2 lips "This story moves quickly with warm characters, sweet interaction and quirky dialogue between a 1894 bluestocking girl and a 2010 soldier guy. There is a bit of suspense and mystery that kept me wondering. Again, this story could be read alone but has more meaning and connection with the past characters and situations when read in order in the series. I was sorry this one was so short and looked forward to the next book " Reviews by Martha's Bookshelf "Tangled in Time is a unique story in its self but also gives an added glimpse of favorite characters from Ms. Jones' The Key and Girl Gone Nova.The resulting humor when two people from different centuries meet and their use of their own technical vocabulary is delightfully portrayed.

The only way it could get worse? If the heart she didn't know she had starts beating for the wrong guy... Praise for Girl Gone Nova: "I love the adventure, the alien setting, the action and the humor of these stories. Pauline sets up a believable time travel scenario with all the paradoxes that should be expected. The characters are rich and likable; even the pirate, bad boy Vidor, has engaging qualities. The writing has a wonderful fast pace that fits the tale. This can be read alone but it works much better if you read The Key first.: Reviews by Martha's Bookshelf "Pauline Baird Jones has been one of my favorite authors since I read her Eppie award-winning Out of Time, a World War II time travel that truly captured the flavor of that wartime era. I also read The Key, the exciting prequel to Girl Gone Nova, and this book blows them both away. Like its predecessor, Girl Gone Nova is set in the present day. With all its twists and turns - enough to rival a West Virginia highway - Girl Gone Nova is one of the most wildly unbelievable, yet believable books I've ever read. It's simply one of the best sci-fi romances ever written." Two Lips Reviews, Five Lips "Girl Gone Nova is an action-filled science fiction treat Stuffed full of intrigue, time-traveling, wisecracks and every girl's dream of love and happily-ever-after, it's a sure-fire hit with any lover of the genre. Ms. Jones has a talent for bringing unusual characters forth and making them seem like 'one of the guys', it's a talent you're sure to remember for a long time to come, as is her amazing novel, Girl Gone Nova." Long and Short Romance Reviews "After a multiyear absence, Baird Jones makes a very welcome return by once again visiting the alternate reality first explored in The Key. Time paradoxes run amok in this extraordinarily complex tale. Amongst the densely packed and mind-bending action, there's also some welcome humor. A spectacular ride " Romantic Times Magazine
