What if you could travel back 40,000 years ago to when saber toothed tigers and Mastodons roamed the earth?  This is exactly the world that Nathan has been surviving in for five lonely years with only his dog, Demon, for companionship.  Dr. Bethany Collins, the mastermind behind the experiment that sent Nathan catapulting back in time, is determined that Nathan will not remain alone; so determined that she is willing to send the unsuspecting Riley Ames back in time under the guise of a fake research experiment.  Riley’s arrival to an age when Cro-Magnon and Neanderthal men walked the earth is only the beginning of RILEY’ S JOURNEY….

I have never read a time travel in which the setting was so far back in time, and so it was with great excitement that I started RILEY’S JOURNEY.  P.L. Parker did not disappoint!  Her vivid images of a time long past made the pages come alive with the excitement, the thrill, and yes, the danger of modern man (and woman!) trying to survive in such a perilous time.  More than once P.L. Parker had me on the edge of my seat, anxiously awaiting to see how further events would unfold.  Would Riley and Nathan survive each new hazard?  And just as importantly, would Demon survive? 

The harsh beauty of the past as seen through the eyes of Riley and Nathan is only part of the joy of RILEY’S JOURNEY, however.  P.L. Parker throws in some interesting twists that made this romance a truly heart warming tale.  The love between Riley and Nathan has time to develop and blossom into a strong, unbreakable bond that is both sexy and uplifting.  RILEY’S JOURNEY is truly a tale about love growing in any environment!
