Okay I will openly admit I was curious as to what a man could do with a romance novel. I am not in any way attempting to be mean and I am sure that there are actually some men writing romance under female pen names. However this is my first one very written by a man that I know of right out of the gate. I must say that 
 The Mine 
 was a really great time-travel book! John Heldt really did his homework when he was writing! The characterization is so realistic that you really get the feeling that you are in 1941 when you are there. 
 The romance was very sweet and the story was slow and steady if that makes any sort of sense. It wasn't this heart pounding, intense story. Instead it was this exciting read full of twists and turns. Those that make you stay up all night to get to the end. This is the perfect weekend read when you want to get away from the intense romance and instead just take yourself away on a pleasant ride. 
 I was given a copy of The Mine, from the Author in exchange for a honest book review.
