Publisher Description
College teacher Ellie Standish thinks she's on a sleek modern train heading to a conference on women's studies in Seattle, but she awakens from a night's doze to find herself on a bizarre historical train full of late Victorian era re-enactors who refuse to come out of character. When the leader of the group-handsome, green-eyed Robert Chamberlain-finally convinces her the date is indeed 1901, a skeptical Ellie rejects any eccentric theories of time travel and presumes she is smack dab in the middle of a very interesting historical dream.
She turns the directorial reins of her dream over to smitten and willing Robert, only to realize that dreams cannot last forever. Someday, she must wake up to reality, though Ellie no longer has any idea what reality is. She only knows that Robert must play an important part in her future. But how can he... if he's only a figment of her imagination or worse yet... a man who belongs to an era long past?

Romance though the times
Ellie Standish thinks she's’ on a train headed to a women’s studies conference in Seattle, but when she wakes from a nap she finds that she is suddenly on a historical train full of Victorian-era reenactors. Or so she thinks. She meets Robert Chamberlain who finally convinces her that she is in really in 1901. He believes she has traveled back in time, she believes she is dreaming. While they spend more and more time together they start to care for one another, but Ellie believes this will all be gone soon and she will hurt Robert so she runs away from him. Will Robert be able to make Ellie believe she belongs with him no matter how long they have together?
I really enjoyed this book. The characters had wonderful chemistry together, so much that you hoped that everything worked out for them to be able to stay together. The time-traveling was an interesting concept on how to bring these two people together. The ending was a nice surprise. This is a fun read. I like that Ellie is a strong female who is a feminist who finds herself in the 1900s. Ellie's view on what women can do and who they are to be treated makes for some interesting discussion between Ellie and Robert.
I listened to the audio version of this book. The narrator did a great job with the characters. He really gave each character their own voice and brought their personality through. I enjoyed his tone and pace, I was able to just put on my headphones and listen to the story while cleaning the house or sitting in my “reading nook” and resting.
If you like historical time travel romance this is definitely for you. I look forward to seeing how the series continues. I receive a complimentary copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own and in no way have been influenced.
I loved it!
I love history. I absolutely anything old. This book was right up my alley.
Ellis meets her love Robert on a train. One she thinks is modern, but soon finds out it is one that somehow sent her back in time.
A Train Through Time is the first book in a series and so far I'm in love! I love the story and I love the characters and can't wait to see how this series progresses. The ending was a great little twist and one I didn't see coming, but loved it!
This time travel was little different. It really is a great start to what I hope is a great series....Stormi
