A Taste of the Twenties

A Time Travel Historical Romance (The Back Inn Time Series, Book 6)

De: Stephenia H. McGee

Narrado por: Bryn Austin

Meeting your heroes from the past is awesome. Unless you get stuck with them forever.

When the opportunity of a lifetime ends in disaster, Amelia Cabrera doesn’t know if she can stomach any more disappointment. Her mother offers her a consolation trip to a quirky B&B, where she expects a quiet weekend to mourn the setback in her chef career. Until the man she’s always secretly crushed on shows up at the door—and he might even think they are supposed to be going on a date.

Nolan Reed has been hanging on the verge of pitching for the Majors for years. A no-hitter could be his big break—until a disastrous elbow injury sends him packing. Then he gets asked out by the girl next door. His best friend’s little sister, who’s always been out of his league. But when the inn she’s staying at mysteriously transports them to the 1920s where he could play ball with Babe Ruth, will the charms of the past cost him his chance at a future with her?

Light hearted, fun & interesting.

I enjoyed this fun story with a good, solid Christian message. So often we miss out on love & fun adventures because we feel the need to control life instead of living it & trusting God to take us where he wants us to go. This was a wonderful, heart felt story of taking chances & trusting God with our lives.

Enjoyable & Encouraging

I really enjoyed this story. I loved having the chef and baseball aspects woven in. Fun!

I love this series!

This is my favorite book series. These books have helped to restore calm and peace when things get crazy. I just purchased books 1-4 for my best friend to share it with her. An amazing historical fiction experience.

The narrator is a problem

I am leaving this review based solely upon the narrator. I’ve already listened to five of these stories but now I just have to say something. The story itself is very entertaining and I like that. It’s a clean story that I don’t have to worry if my kids over here. The narrator, however, is a problem. In this particular book, it’s much more profound. In earlier books, I overlooked some occasional mispronunciations and odd accent. But in this one, it’s almost as though the narrator doesn’t know the story and is changing her voices as she goes. The main female character starts with a pretty strong accent. As we learn more about her, we find that she is a fourth generation Cuban American. Clearly, she would not have a heavy accent. The narrator realizes this and starts to lessen the accent as she goes. it would have been so much better if she recorded and corrected the accent for the entire length of the book. Also, she tends to get too close to her microphone, especially when using any kind of voice of authority. This makes a very unpleasant tin quality to the voice. one of my kids happened to listen to a piece of this book and she also commented on the narrator and how she would not want to listen to this book simply because of that. When I finish this series, I will add this narrator to my list of those to avoid.

Wonderful as usual

I enjoyed this book as much as each of the other travel inn time books and can’t wait for the next one!

An enjoyable romp

Good historical details and characters. Fun and satisfying story very relatable and very detailed setting

The recipes!

I love the Back Inn Time series! This was my favorite one, I think. The family aspect was so sweet. I would love to have the opportunity to spend time with my ancestors especially during their time!
