Initially, I thought both Derek and Allison were too stubborn and obstinate and it made the story drag a bit but it began to get interesting when Derek began his knight training. The more I read, the more amused I was at Derek's antics, especially in teaching everyone to play poker. The author does an excellent job of making 1498 come to life, which makes me appreciate 2009 all the more. I also enjoyed the vivid descriptions of the festival, tournament and overall daily life inside the castle and the extremely hard work it takes to run it, inside and out. I wish there had been more explanation about Anne and Rafael and how they were involved, though at the end of the book, it's easy to figure out most of it. I would have liked to have learned more. Overall, a good time travel that will delight fans of the Middle Age.

It took me a little while, enough for me to forget some obvious foreshadowing, but I finished it, and ended up enjoying it. Another one of my mum's 90s book recommendations.

This was a tough book to review. Angie Ray wrote a limited number of historical romances in the mid to late 1990's, some with a ghost/time travel theme and others were regencies. She even wrote a couple of Silhouette romances in 2003 and 2005 and was involved with an omnibus published in 2009. Other than that there is very little information on this author.
MY LADY IN TIME started out as a contemporary romance. With a ghost. Derek Sinclair was an unlikeable man who took life for granted. He was use to getting anything he wanted; if he did run into trouble he just took off. His older brother Charles was alway having to fix his messes; Derek took very little responsibility on his own. I should mention that after reading about 25 pages I was going to stop because Derek was so unappealing. He was a jerk, plain and simple.
He was convinced by his brother to take a look at their elderly nanny and to spend the night to keep an eye on her. She wasn't feeling well and she was one of the few people Derek had tender feelings. He had difficulty falling asleep and, stupidly, combined sleeping pills with alcohol. In a hazy stupor he met a woman in the form of a ghost. Lady Allison pleaded with him for help. She needed to marry her 'True Love'. Derek only saw a woman that he could seduce so he said yes and was propelled back into time 500 years to 1498 England. The problem was when he finally met up with Lady Allison she didn't remember him.
And so, for the next 125 pages, he and Allison didn't get along. She insisted on marrying a knight who lacked in looks, smelled awful and had the manners of a bully. Allison had several TSTL moments but Derek still came across as an unsympathetic character. You are probably wondering why I continued. Because the author infused the romance with interesting historical bits of information. Every time I thought of stopping Ms. Ray gave me a mild reason for continuing. I wavered between liking this romance and thinking it was just OK. The ending finally arrived as a quick fix but I didn't feel it was very believable- the reason for two stars.
