The Geek Girl and the Scandalous Earl by Gina Lamm (2013)


syndetics-lcDon't let the cheesy cover and title fool you. This is an adorable time travel novel about gamer/geek girl Jamie who gets sucked through an antique bureau 200 years into the past.

She pops into the world of the Earl of Dunnington, who is far more imperious that would appear on this hilarious cover. In fact, there's more than a little of Richard Armitage's John Thornton from North and South in him. They keep mentioning Colin Firth, but he's far more Armitage. 

This romance novel is cute and funny. Lamm blends the two times together quite well and has some pretty good characterization. And don't forget the smoking-hot love scenes. So good that I immediately requested every Gina Lamm book in our collection.

His and Hers by Dawn Calvert (2008)

Adorable novel about a woman who makes some big mistakes and wishes herself right into Victorian times. But it has a great twist--she's wished herself into a novel. Very funny, charming characters, unique and well-executed premise. (Terrible title and cover, but don't let that fool you!)
