Review: Har/Sil rarely does dreamscape paranormals. This was a library book sale find and I'm glad I saw it.Ariel is at her sister's Halloween party when a man in silver body paint --and NOTHING else-- appears. So does an equally attired woman. They fight with Ariel watching. She screams and the silver woman cuts her throat on the man's knife. The man takes Ariel and jumps into the Pacific. Ariel wakes up, surprisingly unharmed, but for a sprained ankle, which was splinted. The silver man returns, says his name is Mac and explains that he is from 200 years in the future, and, as the Director of United Bureau of Investigation, he is after the silver woman, who was to be the mother of his allotted one child, because she murdered her sister, the president. At first sure that he was crazy, Ariel found she was beginning to believe him. Now the police are after Mac for kidnapping Ariel, attempted murder (no one saw the silver woman, Consuela, deliberately cut herself, except Ariel), and the terrorism that Consuela told everyone Mac was planning, while she goes ahead with plans to kill and take the place of the future first woman president of the USA. If all this wasn't enough, Ariel is falling in love with Mac, but he has to go back to the future when he catches Consuela to arrest her and take her to trail. The romance wouldn't work out, when he goes back to his time, he'll stay, won't he? I liked the characters, Ariel was believable and Mac was cute (sexy too, hmm, silver body paint). I do wish that the story had gone more into Mac and love, since sex was something people in his time did freely, marriages didn't legally exist, and parents were licensed and not bound to sexual fidelity. In one instance he mocked the way love meant so much to her time period, yet when he fell in love, he just a suddenly admitted that and that he wanted to be with her. That's really my only complaint, the story was funny and fun, and I recommend it.
