My Review:
Summary –
Can an adventure reporter and a man from the past save the world by traveling back in time? Mel lives life on the edge and loves tackling a story, no matter how dangerous. When WWII veteran Jack Hamilton tracks her down with a story about traveling back in time, she’s not sure if she believes him. But she’d do anything to save her grandfather. Once back in time, she and Jack (now much younger) have a mission to save her grandfather. Her very existence is on the line. Sparks fly between her and Jack, but she mustn’t get distracted. She may be out of time, but the stakes are out of bounds. Will they be successful, or will she cease to be?
