Kathryn Murphy liked Traci Carter's review of The Last Loyalist: A Steamy Time Travel Romance: "This was a well researched and written fun romance because we could see the modern world through the eyes of the hero. The main characters were immediately lovable, and I rooted for them from the beginning. Loved the historical tidbits. Recommend!"
