Paradox Lost

De: Libby Drew

Narrado por: Dorian Greyhound

Time-travel tour guide Reegan McNamara's job-taking eager tourists to whenever they want to go-is usually a breeze. A trip back to 2020 to watch a world-changing speech seems no different, until a woman runs away from his tour group before the jump home. Now her tycoon husband is demanding her safe return-or Reegan will lose more than just his job.

P.I. Saul Kildare's business is running on borrowed time. Due to a messy break with the police, he can't get a referral to save his life. When an enigmatic stranger bangs on his door one night and promises a windfall for a missing-person case, it seems too good to be true. But the two men have an immediate connection, and Saul can't pass up the chance to spend more time with Reegan, even if he's clearly hiding something.

Saul knows he shouldn't trust Reegan, and Reegan knows he can't get involved with Saul. But as their attraction evolves into feelings neither can deny, will they have the strength to take a leap of faith-together?

can I live in this 2020?

oh man, I would love to read a short retrospective from the author on how this short term vision of the future (2020) was actually the most unbelievable thing about her time travel novel! I can get behind 3D printed food, I mean they already do that with skin graphs for surgery, but you lost me at a peaceful transfer of presidential power and no global pandemic.

Great story!

I enjoyed every moment of it. The story was captivating at its core. Well researched and somewhat believable.

Good story!

A nice and well balanced mix of both good story and romance. The concept and the main characters were interesting which made the story worth a listen.

Insta-like with action and not much of a point

The characters seem to fall in like instead of falling in love. Then we go through tons of action to help a rich lady who is abused by her politically connected husband. She isn't interesting enough to care about. The lovers love sex not each other. The ending is dull and unsatisfying. Suddenly we go from from the fight for this woman to return home without getting beat up by her husband and from the goons he sends to to thwart the good guys to everything turning out miraculously solved in a Catholic church cum time travel station. With classic Sci-fi we expect some basis in science which is lacking here. The only explanation as to why they can go back 100 years in time is that time is circles instead of lines. This is not good Sci-fi and it is not good romance.

What did you love best about Paradox Lost?

I loved the concept of the book. The whole time travel and paradox dilemma was well written, but what I loved best about the book was authors ability to explain a new world to me without getting bogged down in the description.

What did you like best about this story?

I loved the love story between the two main characters, I am so tired of M/M stories reading like M/F stories, just with men. The story made sense, the progression easy and believable.

I liked his portrayal of Reegan the best, he was just so much fun.

If you could rename Paradox Lost, what would you call it?

I think the title works.
