I can't honestly think of any other book I've read that falls into the "romantic suspense with time travel" genre.
...yeah.
My mother gave me this one, and I started reading it while commuting without having read the back cover. I was rather surprised when I got to the first mention of time traveling, and went back to read the previous few pages again to make sure I wasn't misunderstanding.

Once I got over it, it was quite funny.
