In this work, we discussed the cosmological consequences of a modified gravity theory characterized by f(R) = R
n(t) where n(t) = 1 + B(t − t
0)
ε
, B and ε are free parameters in the theory and a Hubble parameter which varies as where A is a real positive parameter. For some explicit and reasonable values of the free parameters of the theory, our proposal contains several novel features which were discussed in some details.
