One Day a Year by J. Lamont Jones sees Benny Jones thrust back in time where he meets what could possibly be the love of his life. Only how can that be when she lived centuries in the past? And it’s not only time that seems to be keeping them apart but a multitude of other problems, namely a mysterious code that could end his time traveling once and for all.
One Day a Year by J. Lamont Jones is a fresh and intriguing novel that mashes so many different genres together in this wonderful and heart-pounding story. The thrill of a time travel romance, the historical references, and every twist and turn in the story keep you on the edge of your seat and hanging onto every word. You can’t help but root for Benny and Mary’s relationship to work out despite the odds and I found myself almost biting my nails at the suspense in some moments. One Day a Year was truly an amazing story and I enjoyed every minute of it.
The audio version is well produced with clear-sounding audio and well-enunciated storytelling. Kirby Heyborne did a good job in narrating the story; however, my only wish would be that he could have put more emotion into his voice. The reading sounded a bit flat in parts but, other than that, I could easily sit back and enjoy this audiobook. The story itself is fantastic and I enjoyed it throughout the duration.
