4.5 Stars
Genre: Time Travel Romance
DiBona proves loves conquers all, even time, in "The
Ring." Jessica Madison lives in the present as a successful doctor. She
has it all, prestige, money, and a skillful reputation. Alexander Elliot lives
100 years in the past. He's also a successful doctor. Can he find happiness
after his fiancée shattered his ideas of love?
The novel opens with Jessica inheriting a ruby ring from her
guardian, Jacob. This ring is different. It allows the wearer to travel through
time. When Jessica discovers its properties, she's skeptical, but a trip to the
past changes her mind. There she meets Dr. Alexander Elliot and the sparks fly.
Alexander and Jessica have a hard time fighting their attraction, but they must,
since they fear time will keep them apart – time or perhaps stubborn pride. Can
they overcome the obstacles the ring presents?
DiBona's writing style is very fluid, immediately drawing
the reader into Jessica's world. The pacing is just right, slowing down to
allow the reader to catch their breath before accelerating again.
The best part of the story was the characters. DiBona
presents a strong heroine who has a big heart. Her hero embodies noble bearing.
In fact, it may be his stubborn pride and not time that proves his downfall.
The supporting cast is a gem and each of them – Mary, Bobbi, and Aunt Abigail
shine.
There were minor punctuation and grammatical errors
throughout which I felt a stronger edit might have caught, but it did not take
away from my enjoyment of the story.
The novel is mainstream for romance readers with several
sensual love scenes. "The Ring" is a story that will have you turning
the pages to see what happens next. I highly recommend it.
