If you are fan of "desert isle" books and movies--think Castaway, Swiss Family Robinson, Survivor--you absolutely won't want to miss this. I love a good stranded story, and this is one of the best I have read. Debut Author Renzi takes a giant risk with RiverTime as she could have ended the story around the 110 page mark and had an excellent novella of Casey and Jack stranded together, quick conflict back in the real world, happy epilogue, but instead she crafts a story of enormous complexity tha...more

From cover to cover, RiverTime is riveting. Whether in ‘river time’ or real time, when Casey and Jack are together, it is magic time. Survivers from a flash flood on the Colorado River in the Grand Canyon, Casey and Jack ignore baggage of the past, realize the tenuousness of the future, and concentrate on surviving in the present. Casey’s innate open curiosity as a social scientist and Jack’s secretiveness create a unique atmosphere that makes the reader feel ‘in-on-the-know’ with each new tidbi...more

River Time by Rae Renzi is yet another contemporary romance from Carina Press that I decided to read and review. Honestly, I was attracted to the warm look of the book cover. Gosh, talk about judging the book by it’s cover. But the book cover did not lie, by the way. The story itself sizzles and and really heartwarming. The characters will definitely drawn you into their w...more

I honestly was expecting this book to be really bad. I started reading before bed, thinking it would be one to put down easily if I was ready to fall asleep, but that was not the case. I was sucked in right away. River Time begins with Casey struggling to stay alive in a raft in a flash flood in the Colorado River. She eventually is stuck where she can escape to the shore. Shortly after, she discovers something odd stuck in the river, which ends up being a man in a life vest. She saves his life,...more

*Sigh* This (audio) book had so much potential in the beginning...kind of like the TV show "Lost" before it spun out of orbit. Unfortunately, RiverTime started sprouting its own antennas about 1/4 of the way into the story; and, although I stuck it out until the end -hoping the author would bring it back to its roots- my persistence gained me nothing but a clean house (though getting me through that distasteful project was worth a third star).

Trying to get away from reality and take time to think about her future, Casey takes a rafting trip. However, when the river has a flash flood, Casey's world becomes even more complicated. Casey heads back to "reality" and moves forward with her career and fiancée. But, something about the River and mysterious Jack keeps her from being completely content. "What happens in RiverTime stays in RiverTime" is much harder to stick with when faced with an empty house back in "reality."

When Casey Lord embarks on a river-rafting trip to escape the pressure of marriage from her politically power-driven boyfriend, the last thing she expects is for it to turn into a two-week ordeal in the wilderness. After barely making it through a flash flood alive, Casey washes onto a remote beach, all alone. But shortly after the flood, she spots a man floating in the water and pulls him to safety. The man introduces himself as just Jack, and though Casey can tell he's hiding something, she in...more
Casey's life may look great through a strangers eyes, but in reality, it is less than perfect. Needing to escape the pressures of her world and desperately needing to evaluate her future, she joins a group of strangers on a river rafting trip. When a flash flood sweeps her away from her group, she stumbles up a mysterious, unconscious stranger. Over a 2 week period, she and the stranger she knows as "John" become quite close. In an effort to relieve some of the tension, they vow to let down thei...more
This book was flippin' trippy. There were parts I loved (Ditz!) and things I loved about the characters, but there were also GLARING issues. I give the author credit for doing things outside the box, but...yeah, I'm not sure how much "romance" I actually felt was it in. More in-depth review to come on my blog.
I loved River Time. The scenes on the river, after the flood that left Casey and Jack stranded, were so well written. I can still see their cave and camp in my mind. The romance was sighworthy which makes it a winner for me.
I really liked this book! Great characters, some hot romance and a bit of suspense makes for a great read!
This book really surprised me (and with books, that doesn't occur often!). I liked the synopsis of the book, so I thought I knew which direction it would take. Wrong! First, the hero was really obnoxious! So much so (for me), that I thought I would give up on this book. I am so glad that I didn't. It is truly a terrific book! Such a great romance. It stayed with me for days after I finished. I highly recommend this book!
