In the Garden of Iden by Kage Baker

Been hearing about this one for a while and finally decided to give it a try. Reminds me a bit of [b:Doomsday Book|24983|Doomsday Book (Oxford Time Travel #1)|Connie Willis|https://d2arxad8u2l0g7.cloudfront.net/books/1403972500s/24983.jpg|2439628], but I like this one a bit better. I've already got the sequel from the library.
Why'd I like it? There was a good mix of science fiction and romance. There was good character growth and world-building. I'm most torn about the time-travel element. Even though the book is ostensibly a time-travel story, it's really only part of the backdrop. An important part, yes, but not in the foreground.
What keeps me going? I want to see what happens next for Mendoza—who she becomes and what she discovers about how The Company and its working throughout history.
