Review: Hellfire and Handbaskets by Kathryn Hills

This is the second book in the A Time Traveler’s Journey series, but it CAN be read as a standalone. This book was almost 300 pages but it just flew by because it was so good. I read before bed, and every night, practically the second I open the book to start reading, I immediately was immersed in the story.

Amelia Pennington is a med student from the late 1800’s. While under attack, she travels to current time and meets Dr. Rick Hauser at his job in the ER. They have an instant connection and attraction to each other.

I really enjoyed how even though Amelia is from the past, she is definitely not helpless. She can take care of herself. I really enjoyed this story, each page had me eagerly turning to the next.

Review: Ever My Love by Lynn Kurland

Image from Goodreads

In search of a fresh start, Emma Baxter has traveled to Scotland to try to forget her rocky love life. Luckily, the gorgeous Highlander who owns the house up the path from her rental cottage might be exactly the kind of distraction she needs. But there’s more to his intriguing qualities than she can explain—and she certainly isn’t buying into the local legends of Highland magic.

Nathaniel MacLeod is a man adrift, all thanks to the unwanted gift that forces him to continually jump between centuries. He never knows if he’ll wind up in the present day or the fourteenth century, but when Emma follows him back through time, he suddenly has more to worry about than keeping his separate lives straight…

Someone has started to notice Nathaniel’s travels and now, no time period is safe, for him or for Emma.

A Conall Christmas – Review

Image from Goodreads

It’s Yuletide at Conall Castle.

 

Christmas is quickly approaching, and Adelle is determined to make this Christmas the best one Conall Castle has ever seen, but loneliness haunts her. Love for her daughter sent her into the past, but she’d not expected the isolation she would feel. A former socialite and serial dater, she finds that her current age seems much older in the seventeenth century than it did in the twenty-first. She resigns herself to the fact that she will remain single for the rest of her days. At least until an unexpected visitor arrives at the castle.

 

Hew Moray has spent the last twenty years all alone, only leaving his isolated home once a year to pay homage to the wife he lost long ago. When a winter storm causes him to seek shelter at the castle where his sister lives, he meets the first lass since his beloved Mae to make his heart flutter in his chest once again. Will he be able to release himself from his past grief to allow another love to enter his life? If he does, will his love be returned?
