Linked Across Time #8
Scandalized by My Prince
Dr. Aubriella Byrne isn’t the adventurous sort. The most daring thing she’s ever done is travel to visit her cousin in Kent to research her doctorate. Until she catches a glimpse of a man in another era through a mirror—she takes a leap of faith and goes to his time to find him.
Killian Lynwood, Earl of Thornbury finds Aubriella wandering the lands outside his castle. She has an ethereal beauty and frailty that makes him want to protect her. Safeguarding those he loves has been his duty since he was a small boy, starting with his mother. Aubriella quickly becomes a female he cares deeply for.
Aubriella isn’t sure if she should tell him who she is, or more importantly where she’s from, but secrets and lies have a way of unraveling. Killian has a few of his own he doesn’t want to come to light. The decision to trust each other is a hard one. Sometimes love isn’t enough and their secrets might destroy everything.

Another short sweet historical romance about time travel, each of these in this series can be read as a standalone but with each one you get more depth of the family history. This one kind of goes with the ones before where the two stepsisters meet each was surprise to see the other. When Aubriella goes to the manor she learns things about her family she doesn’t know, when she looks in the mirror she sees a man and feels his pull, through the mirror she goes. Once on his land he finds her taking her in, she finds he is to go off on a mission. Since she knows history so well she knows she must keep him safe without him knowing about her abilities and learning that she is doing her best to keep him away from the area he is headed.
This narrator is new to me I didn’t know what to expect. I loved her accents, her character voices are wonderful. She gives such emotions, really getting into the character. You can hear the laughter, fear, sorrow, and love come through her voice. She really paints a vivid picture that is so easy to picture, she pauses giving you enough time to let what you listened to sink in. I really love with a narrator gets into her audio laughing when needing to, crying if that is called for. This is one narrator that does that giving you a touching, fun, emotional listen that pulls you in. I loved her normal voice I could listen to it all day.There were no background noises, no repeating of wording, no volume changes. It is very clear and clean, if breaks were taken I could not tell. Just a delightful listen that I totally loved.
I love this series, there is just something about time travel that gets me every time. Ms. Brower knows how to pull you in giving you an entertaining story. She is very talented and does her research, her stories are very believable and usually hooks you from the first page. I really enjoyed the characters, the plot, the emotions and the passion. I had to laugh at how Aubriella kept Killian from going where he wanted to go but at the same time kept it fun. There was a touchy part when she ran into a family member that almost gave her way. It was a wonderful listen that I didn’t want to end, I could listen to this family all day and never get tired of it. Mostly likely because the author uses no fillers just good home some facts, I can’t wait to listen to the next one.

I received this book from the author for an honest review.
This book in the series starts with Aubriella, a history major and person who specializes in English history of the time, yelling at Trenton about how her family can time travel. She looked into the mirror to see a sad gentleman that she just must get to know when it BOOM its starts.
Brie wakes up and is with the handsome gentleman named Killian. She wants to get to know him because she did her thesis on his family for college. When she overhears he will be attending a rally she must stop. She knows through her knowledge that the rally turns deadly. She will do anything and everything to stop him from going.
Killian is struck stupid b the beauty who stumbled on his lands. He will not fall into a trap because all women are poison. When he mentions going to a rally this sprite of a woman insisted on attending with him. He doesn’t trust her but can’t stop looking at her.
The journey to the rally has the two of them spilling half-truths to protect their true self. Brie runs into someone from the future who might ruin her entire plan. However, the couple end up playing a version of truth or dare and all the secrets start to fall!!
The end of the book we see the set up for the next story of Brie’s half sister and her Duke.

Aubriella and Killian’s Story
I have so enjoyed this author's Linked Across Time series. She's created an exceedingly complex, multigenerational time-travel romance series. I had met the heroine in other books of this series, so it was fun to finally listen to her romance unfold. The hero is a kind-hearted but somewhat tortured soul, his pain stemming from something that isn't even his fault. The heroine intrigues and exasperates him—in fun and charming ways—and her waifish qualities (and magical ability) bring out his protective side. One fun aspect of this series is that we often see the same pivotal scene in different books from the perspectives of multiple characters, usually from at least one of the romantic couple at the heart of the current story. There's a wonderful scene in this book and another where two relatives from the future meet up in the past, neither having previously known that the other was in that same time period. Fun stuff! I was utterly charmed by this delightful couple. Highly recommended.
I received a promo code for this audiobook, but that did not affect my review.

This was a cute story but if you don’t start at the number one story you’ll be lost. People going back and forth in time, relatives that have never liked one another then meeting back in the 19th century and each story leading into the next. It can get a little confusing at times.
This was about Killian and Aubriella who met and fell in love when Aubriella walked through the mirror at Bradford and Regina’s home, in order to help the man she saw in the mirror, leaving Trenton to have Serenity to help him go back in time to get Eve and return to the 21st century so she could come back and help her sister then leaving Aubriella in the past with Killian. See? Confusing if you haven’t read the books in order.
This did have explicit sex and the F-bomb was used 4 times.
As to the narration: Sheila Dearden was just okay for me. Not bad or overly good. Her men’s voices are decent but she doesn’t laugh when someone answers with a laugh or whisper or sound angry. I guess she needs more emotions when she reads. For me, anyway.

Aubriella is one of the most interestingly female character of the series so far. She’s a strong independent doctor by nature so watching her struggle to play the meek female was quite amusing. Her need to find her cousin leads her to stepping through a mirror to the past to save a man she’s never met. Killian the Earl of Thornbury is a man that needs saving in more ways then one. Learning to trust each other with their secrets makes for a tenderly sweet romance. Aubriella becoming the lady of Kingsbridge a Castle, a Castle she researched and visited in her current time is the stuff fairy tales are made of.
Shelia Dearden does an excellent job with the narration jumping from English to Irish to Scottish. She is the perfect Aubriella.

Once again Dawn Brower takes us back through the mirror for a trip to the past to find love. You don't need to have read previous books in this series to enjoy this story since it focuses on Aubriella Byrne - a character who is new to the series.
Ms Brower's characters are well written although they seem to accept the idea of time travel without much question. Once in the past we find another time traveler so we can anticipate at least another book in this series. This is a short quick read and totally enjoyable.

I have read several in this series and enjoyed this book. This was Aubriella and Killian's story. Without warning, Aubriella sets off to help Killian. The back and forth between them is fun. Meeting up with others from the series is always enjoyable as well, especially in this case because a healing of sorts takes place. This also leads to another story. I look forward to the journey to the end.
I received a copy of this as a gift, and this is my unsolicited review.

I love Dawn Brower's linked across time series. This story has to have been my favorite.
Dr. Aubriella Byrne isn’t the adventurous sort, but she decides to travel to another era when she sees a man in a mirror. Killian Lynwood, who is the Earl of Thornbury finds Aubriella outside of his castle. He wants to protect her. I hope there is more books.

You wont have to be scandlized by this prince his all that and more. I loved the back and forth with these great characters. Dawn has an amazing talent for writing sting women and this one is no exception she literally jumps into the unknown to save a sad face you'll have to grab your own copy to find out if she does or not

Another addition to the “Linked Across Time” series, “Scandalized by My Prince” is the eighth book and thus should be read in order to prevent major spoilers.

Her stepsister!
She saw through the mirror a man who seemed to have alot of burdens to carry. So she stepped through the mirror to help him. He found her unconscious on his grounds while he walked.
Once she woke up a week later he felt something for her. He had been so worried when she didn't wake up. This time travel story is another good read. Can't wait for the next one.

This is another good read/listen in the "Linked Across Time" series. It is a stand alone time travel romance. It is a sweet historical romance where a lady travels back in time and helps keep a man from going some place. It is a fun, intriguing and interesting story about Aubriella and Killian. I enjoyed every bit of the story.

When Brie fell through in the last book I was looking forward to seeing her story. I enjoyed watching the Earl fall under her spell and their time together skirting around the eccentricities.
