Review Excerpt:

CATCHY SNIPPET: What if you could change the flow of time? Mila Adams can do just that. An exhilarating adventure ensues when she meets a man with a very similar talent. Will they discover the source of these extraordinary abilities together?

Jessica Inclán has a distinct flair for writing entertaining and enthralling tales. This is particularly apparent in her latest foray into the paranormal romance genre. BEING WITH HIM is an amazing love story concerning two people who have felt different and alone all of their lives.

Bohemian artist Mila Adams discovered early in life that she has the ability to shift time. If she doesn’t want to sit through a boring meeting, she just thinks about moving time forward and, voila, the meeting is over. The same goes for all of the terrible blind dates that she’s had. Through it all, Mila has felt there must be one perfect man out there for her – one who understands her unusual talent. When her mother sets her up on yet another blind date, Mila is tempted to fast-forward through it and get on with her life – until she sees Garrick McClellan.

Garrick McClellan is a financial genius on the fast track to success. Garrick’s aunt is determined to fix him up with the perfect woman. She’s sure that Mila is “the one”. After viewing one of Mila’s paintings in a local gallery, Garrick is not so sure about his aunt’s assessment. Something in the painting strikes a cord in Garrick and he fears that Mila could change his entire world. With one touch, he recognizes an immediate connection with the beautiful artist. Neither one has ever experienced such an intense passion. What is it that draws them together so powerfully? Who are they? Where do they come from? Are there others who possess similar gifts? Why does it feel like their time for discovering answers is running out?

BEING WITH HIM is an extraordinary love story with a compelling plot and captivating characters. Jessica Inclán has created a world filled with possibilities and intriguing situations. I fell madly in love with Garrick and Mila separately and as a couple. I experienced their fears and their joys throughout the course of this amazing tale. By the time I finished the first page, I knew that BEING WITH HIM had earned a permanent spot on my keeper shelf. Make sure to give it a place on yours too!

Great review, Jessica!

I'll start BWH soon-right now I'm reading Free For All by Don Borchert which is about working at a library. I find myself laughing and nodding so much at it; recommend it to your mom next time you see her.
