From the Cocktail Reviews site review:
A touch of Sci-Fi, anyone? Oh, yes. Being transported to the future is just what the doctor ordered sometimes.
Lyn is a cop in a world where everything is monitored. Even your thoughts. Your body mass. Pregnancy is not allowed—unless the government say so. So when Lyn finds out she is pregnant, she wonders how the hell this can be. And worries about it, for she knows what the penalty is should her pregnancy be discovered. And being a cop doesn’t help matters.
This tale has a wicked twist—a cruel one for Lyn, but an exciting one for this reader. My heart thudded loudly for a few minutes while reading, and I felt for Lyn, while at the same time hating the government. I actually shuddered, wondering just what our futures do hold, and if Big Brother really does come to pass in the centuries to come, I’ll be glad I’m not here to suffer the consequences of that large eye watching me.
