An ancient bottle, a time travel spell, and a sexy Highlander were not on Kim Styles’s list of things to do on her last vacation before her wedding day. But when Kim and her two best friends take a trip to the outer banks, a magic mix up accidently transports Kim to the eighteenth century and into the arms of a handsome sea captain. To make matters worse, in the course of their lark, they transport Blackbeard the Pirate to modern day Ocracoke, and since the spell only works during a full moon, they just have a few days each month to straighten it all out. Conner MacKay is sympathetic to Kim’s plight, but is more motivated by his desire to destroy Blackbeard the Pirate than in sending the feisty brunette back to her century. Especially once his desires shift to keeping the brunette for himself.
I started writing fiction at the age of forty-five. It wasn’t easy for me since my formal training is in science education. Lab reports are written very differently than novels or at least they’re supposed to be, though some of my students never fully understood that concept.
I made it my goal to be published by the time I retired from teaching. It took a lot of work and dedication, but four weeks after I taught my last day in the high school, I received “the call” from Leah Hultenschmidt of Dorchester Publishing. An extremely exciting day, that was. My agent took over the negotiations while I spent a great deal of time squealing.
Always having had a love for all things historical, it seemed only fitting that I fell into that genre. So now I write in my two- story Victorian home on our seventy- acre farm in Ohio. I have a Maltese who provides literary critique and a husband who provides inspiration. Each of my heroes has some part of my husband’s personality, which may be why I love them so much. I have two grown children, both of whom have made me very proud, and I have a new grand daughter who shares my rocking chair with me.
This book has no depth in any way, shape, or form. Story line was ok.. I found myself skimming through pages. Some funny parts. I don’t know what else to say about it? Mostly unremarkable..
