Reviewed by Richard Prause for Readers' Favorite Nancy Houser-Bluhm's The Nickel Loop is a romantic tale that follows the journeys of a woman and a man from different eras whose paths converge in 1938. Emmeline travels back in time from 2022, whereas Nicholas travels forward in time from 1898. This unexpected time travel takes them both by surprise. Emmeline is more concerned about her predicament than Nicholas. She worries about the lack of progressive opportunities for women in 1938. Quite the opposite, Nicholas is amazed by the improvements and expansions in 1938 compared to 1898. Emmeline and Nicholas lean on each other for support, causing a budding romance to evolve between them. Nicholas gradually adjusts to 1938, but Emmeline misses her life in 2022. Edmund, a very discerning psychic, believes he can help them return to their respective times. Will Emmeline or Nicholas leave 1938, or will their love keep them together? I enjoyed reading Nancy Houser-Bluhm's exploration of the different eras through Emmeline's and Nicholas' points of view and experiences. Each era meant something different to the main characters and the secondary characters they interacted with. Emmeline viewed 1938 as an oppressive period for women, whereas Nicholas saw 1938 as an era of opportunity. Even though Emmeline was introduced as a strong-willed and uncompromising character in earlier chapters, her interactions with Nicholas and their acquaintances revealed a more vulnerable and relatable side to her. Nevertheless, it was intriguing watching these opposing personalities—Emmeline and Nicholas—let their guard down and warm up to each other. The author did a magnificent job of presenting the differences of each era, such as the language variations, clothing styles, and historical changes. Fans of historical romance will enjoy reading The Nickel Loop.
