"[A]n extraordinary journey of love through time. Boy oh boy. Talk about the shocks and surprises in this book. I can't tell you how many times I was left completely shell-shocked. There are so many secrets and twists in this book that left me on the edge of my seat the entire time. I constantly had to know more." - Goodreads
Could it really be possible that somewhere in time, the perfect paradox could be created? Does romance really stand a chance, could it ever flourish when cast between so many intricacies and broken lives? How could one person, Nell, a nineteenth century governess unknowingly cause so much devastation?
As Nell’s world opens up, we follow her on her complex journey, where she discovers love, loss and betrayal, and becomes forced to play a dangerous game from which there appears no escape.
An intricate family plot slowly begins to unravel in which she finds herself centre stage. She was never supposed to leave Haunchcroft estate … and he will do everything in his power to keep her there…
Could a possible rip in time be the salvation that Nell seeks?
“I find you disturbingly beautiful,” are the contradictory words bestowed upon the governess by her master.
Mr Buchannan’s infatuation is a shadow from which Nell cannot escape. The feelings he holds for her are not reciprocated, and though his lust soon turns to love, Nell’s feelings towards him turn to hatred. Dreams and a love of literature are Nell’s only escapism from the downtrodden life she leads as a governess in the nineteenth century.
One night, an intruder on the estate catches Nell off guard, but she gives chase; a decision that leads her through an opening in time between the centuries, where she finds equality, true friendship and a completely different outlook on life.
Despite using this to her advantage to escape the advances of her unwanted suitor, she is somewhat perturbed when she unexpectedly finds him at her side in the twenty-first century. Will love conquer all, or will time always stand in their way?
Ours crosses over- it has mild swearing, and mild sex, but no erotica, we have even had a reviewer mark it as young adult- I think as an author you need to know that line- so as where to mark your book at (All of our books are New adult)
MB's INTERVIEW
Thank you, Mrs. J. Wells, Mrs. L. Wells
1. There are so many “views” about what New Adult is, from YA with sex to erotica itself. What New Adult represents for you and how its characteristics are present in A Paradox in Time?
Ours crosses over- it has mild swearing, and mild sex, but no erotica, we have even had a reviewer mark it as young adult- I think as an author you need to know that line- so as where to mark your book at (All of our books are New adult)
2. What are the most important aspects to observe in a romance that take place across the time?
Different goals, feeling that remain the same- but alter due to the time travel, and a new outlook on life and love.
3. How important is the beginning of a story and its ending? How these stages should influence the characters?
There needs to be some kind of growth with the character, our mail character is a 19th century governess, so although we had to keep her subservient to a degree, she does grow as a person, and her outlook changes.
4. Are there some (big) mistakes that an author should not do?
Head hop every other line- new character should be a new chapter (which we are doing in our vampire book)
5. Which are in your opinion the best and the worse features of our day romance literature? Why?
Too many erotica’s in our opinion, we prefer a love story and feeling between characters, rather than just bedroom scenes- nothing against erotica- just isn’t our bag.. we like a real story with feeling and depth.
