I should be still asleep since I didn't turn the lights off until 2:45 AM. Read another great TT, ECHOES OF TOMORROW by Jenny Lykins.
I loved that the hero came to present day, fall in love with the heroine, they married and then he returns to his time. Now the modern day heroine has to figure out how to get to his time for the second half of the book.
I hunted the used bookstores for the book but ended up having to buy it off Half.com, it was worth every penny.

I visited Ms. Lykin's website to see if she had any other books coming up, I didn't see any. That is so sad, she is a great TT author.

Here is Louisa Brown's review:

Echoes of Tomorrow by Jenny Lykins is the sixth book in Penguin Putnam's Time Passages series.
Echoes of Tomorrow is quite easily my favorite book out of the Time Passages series. This is because after all the disbelieving men in the previous books, whose reasons for disbelief are often pure stubbornness, finally here is a man time traveling.

Reed Blackwell travels into the future not the past so in some ways his experience is less of an ordeal than those who go backwards. After all his biggest challenge is discovering how to drink a can of coke without making a fool of himself.

Reed also has the advantage that Elise Gerard witnessed his materialization, on her bed no less, and is more open minded than most people.

As Elise shows Reed her world of the 20th century they fall in love and, as there seems no way back to 1844, Reed decides to make a life with Elise in the future.

What Reed doesn't know is that it was his maid's tea, a bewitched potion, that sent him to the future, and when he drinks more on his wedding day he disappears home again leaving Elise to follow him.

Once in 1844 things take on the route of a regular time travel - Elise is in the past, Reed has lost his memory of the future, and her, and guess who doesn't believe a word she's saying.

Reed is now engaged to be married and the clock is ticking for Elise to help him remember her. So it's plots, plots and more plots, some hilariously funny as Elise tries to recreate the future for the benefit of Reed.

A delightful tale of time traveling romance that leaves everything in the air to the last possible minute.
