Elizabeth Robertson has grown up hearing the story of Ealasaid and Uilleam, and how that brave young man saved Ealasaid from certain death by using the stone circle near their village to send her forward in time. Elizabeth thought it nothing more than a fairy tale told by her grandmother, until one night, twenty years later, when a man who’s been brutally beaten and stabbed, dies in her arms after giving her a message: the fairy tale is no tale, but a true story.
Now, the same man responsible for the massacre of her family and village has come forward in time to reclaim her. Elizabeth must flee her home in Canada in search of a village in Scotland that exists only in history books, and a man who pledged to her father, two-hundred years in the past, to keep her safe.
In a journey fraught with danger, Elizabeth comes face to face with her destiny and her anam chara. In order to win her highlander, Elizabeth must learn to believe in herself, for the price of failure is more than she’s willing to pay.
I enjoyed reading this book. The storyline was good as was the concept. There were a few scenes that were cliché but otherwise it was a good read. The characters were fun to get to know and the story moved at a very good pace. I don't generally read books online but I will buy the sequel.
Some additional editing is required though to fix some minor mistakes and some formatting issues in the paper copy.
A nicely written romance by a new author. The main character goes on a journey of self discovery while running for her life. While there have been other stories, by other authors, written about time travelling romance, this is one to add to the collection.
A sweet romance with a little fantasy and thrill thrown in. I enjoyed getting to know the characters and look forward to seeing more of them as the series progresses.
