Book Spotlight: The Jelly Bean Jump Project by Terry Segan

Congratulations to Author Terry Segan on her new release, The Jelly Bean Jump Project! I'm so pleased to spotlight this enjoyable time travel romance. I've included my review at the end of the post -- following everything you need to know about the book plus an excerpt. Enjoy!

Fate drew them together. Will their dream of time travel keep them apart?

Keira longed to do something amazing with her life. When offered a chance to join a time travel program, she didn’t hesitate. With her soulmate by her side, nothing could be more perfect.

Grayson never believed happiness would find him until he met Keira. Lightning struck twice when both got accepted into The Jelly Bean Jump Project, a time travel experiment. Only a handful of applicants made the cut each year.

One of the requirements—no family ties. Keira and Grayson were alone in the world except for each other. An adventure of a lifetime awaited, until a glitch in the system threatened to tear them apart. Would they walk away from their fantasy or surrender their hearts in exchange?


Excerpt

After picking up my tray, I searched for my boyfriend. He hadn’t arrived yet, so I took a seat next to my roommate, Sandra. I set my book on the chair to my right.

​“Sometimes I feel like we’re in prison wearing these dang uniforms,” Sandra said.

​“I must admit, I do miss my skirts and capris, and it’s only been a week! At least we don’t have to wear those nerdy boots like the security staff.” I sprinkled sugar over my cereal and mixed it in.

“Someone’s got a sweet tooth.” The chair beside me scraped back.

“Desmond, I’m saving that for Grayson.”

He tossed my book onto the table before placing his own tray down and sitting. “You two aren’t joined at the hip, you know. He can sit across from you.” His shoulder rubbed against mine. “Besides, why should he get all the attention from the best-looking doll here.”

I scooted closer to Sandra. “Do you mind? I’m eating.” While Desmond’s looks rivaled the most dashing actors in Hollywood, his arrogance raked through me like fingernails on a chalkboard. His relentless flirting repulsed me, especially because Grayson and I were obviously a couple.

“Good morning, ladies. Ready for another day of Time Travel 101?” Grayson plunked down across from me.

“I could do that stuff in my sleep. Why do we have to get stuck with an instructor who is such a snooze?” Desmond shoveled eggs into his mouth. “Sorry to take your seat, Gray. Keira insisted.” He nudged me with his elbow.

Before I could protest, Grayson jumped in. “Don’t worry about it, Des. From here I get to stare into those amazing blue eyes.” He kept his sight locked on my face.

A warm blush filled my cheeks. I looked down, batted my eyelashes, and giggled like a schoolgirl.

“Why thank you, sir.”

“I don’t know whether to feel ill or jealous at the way you two fawn over each other,” Sandra said.

Her comment had been directed at Grayson and me, but her gaze focused on Desmond.

Book Review: The Jelly Bean Jump Project by Terry Segan

A fun, refreshing, and suspenseful time travel romance! 
The main characters Keira and Grayson are young, smart, ambitious -- and completely loveable. They're also brave, willing to participate in a time travel experiment that can guarantee neither their safety nor their return.  They will travel ahead a decade at a time, and they look forward to sharing the experience together.  All they know is that it's a great opportunity, that they can contribute, and that they love each other. 

When they are unexpectedly forced to choose between separation or giving up their dreams, what will they do?

How much stress, separation, and treachery can love endure? My heart squeezed for them. I couldn't turn the pages fast enough! 

The Jelly Bean Jump Project is a fun read with an adorable romance, twists and turns, and an interesting take on time travel.

Five stars.
