Daring Time by Beth Kery

This is the first book of Beth Kery’s book I have read. Also this version of the book I read was the Uncorrected Proofs version. I must admit I left this book sitting on my bookshelf for quite some time. The synopsis made this book sound boring and mundane. While this book is not spectacular, it is worth reading. There are some sizzling scenes and interesting characters.

Synopsis (from barnesandnoble.com): He sees her, wants her, needs her—now he has to have her.Chicago Detective Ryan Daire has many secrets: a love for Shakespeare, an appreciation for all the finer things in life, and an absolute lack of restraint in the bedroom. Now he has an even bigger secret. In every shadow of the sprawling mansion he's recently inherited he can see her—tempting, ethereal, and untouchable. Hope Stillwater inhabited that mansion in 1906. Raw desire has formed a conduit between these two passionate souls who are separated by the barrier of time. Intoxicated by each other's presence, Ryan and Hope come close to crossing that inviting boundary between two worlds. But there is danger: Ryan's job has put him on the trail of a depraved criminal in an investigation that's risking Hope's eternal fate. Now he must do whatever it takes to change history, protect Hope from harm, and set his desires free.

While my version of the book has a boring plain cover, I am pleased the final product has a scrumptious design. My pet peeves were that the paranormal element wasn’t as strong as it could have been and that I wanted things to heat up between Ryan and Hope a lot faster! I wanted the story line to be quicker and more intense. All in all though I would give this book a 3/5 and I do think Beth Kery is a writer to keep an eye out for.
