Will they ever make it back to present day? Do they find the love which had once bonded the two together? Find out in this heartwarming Scottish Historical Time Travel Romance.

When am I ever going to learn NOT to read a time travel novella?
(UPDATE)
Okay, wait! Let's not lump all time travel novellas into one. I have read a couple of good ones AND they were written by women so maybe this gentleman just doesn't know how to write a good one and should stick to a mystery or something. But, it's just a thought. (END UPDATE)
This was just awful so I WILL NOT be moving on to the next story. I don't think this author was really uninterested in writing a novella worth a damn. He was only interested in writing a little story and getting it published as quickly as possible. And why the hell would you want to write about 210 AD?
Anyway, it wasn't worth it, even if it were free with KU. No idea what anyone looked like except for Kate having red hair. That's it.
As to the narration: It was absolutely horrible. Kevin Theis read like he was in a race and every single female sounded just like a man. And he read like a robot on speed. I would never listen to him again.

It can be hard to rate novellas as obviously they are not going to achieve as much depth as a full length novel.
That being said I did find it lacking in places even as a novella. It was a fun premise and I liked the soulmates through time aspect.
However I felt as though they acclimatised to the past far too quickly and the villagers didn't notice that they were acting as completely different people? I allow some artistic license but still. Also it bugged me that the Celts kept referring to Africa. Would it have been called Africe back then?
Maybe I'm being too nitpicky but it took me out of the story.

A Brief Encounter
With a swiftly detailed description of a historical time I would like to get to know more of, this story is short, but has adventurous potential to keep you reading to the finish.

A step back in time.
A couple take a short, romantic journey back 2 millenia, where they find themselves and a family they did not know they had.
I hope there is a follow up to this tale...

I was being too generous with 3 stars!! Not worth the time to read should have really only put 1 star because it was published??

Short story but very interesting

2.5 stars ✨
Very short and well, very lacking...of many things.
Not enough convincing, the adaptation process in past goes way too easy, not a single suspicious look from locals?..
Unfortunately, I don’t care about these characters enough to pick up a second book.
