3.0

The main character, Helen, is in the process of splitting up with her wife Yalia, when her semi-estranged father reconnects right as he's about to die, to pass on responsibility for a woman connected with his research. That woman turns out to be Anne Boylen, whisked away from the past right before her execution. All three of them start falling in love with each other while dealing with Anne's fades (mini-returns to the past) and her insecurity about living in the modern world, plus the exploits of the semi-evil corporation that brought Anne back in the first place, run by an evil(ish) time-traveled Benjamin Franklin. I would have preferred more campy and/or more smut in the book, since the plot kinda half-assed both and didn't quite hit the mark on either, but it was certainly quite ridiculous and thoroughly enjoyable.
