Shadows in Time
A WOMAN TORN BETWEEN PAST AND PRESENT
Certain that the New Orleans plantation of Shadow Oaks holds the secrets of her own shadowy heritage, Tori has just flown there from San Francisco. Driving through the sultry southern night with an ancient diary beside her, she thinks it's her eyes playing tricks when a bolt of lightning suddenly explodes in the road before her. One minute, the car is spinning wildly out of control; the next, Tori awakens in a horse-drawn carriage, gazing up at the handsomest man she'd ever seen.
A MAN WHO HOLDS THE KEY TO HER FUTURE
He calls her his wife - but Guy Rouchard's gray eyes blaze with savage fury. Fate had swept Tori back more than a hundred years to put her in another woman's place...Now she must race against time itself to change the tragic past and claim her future with the man she will love all eternity.

Fantastic!
This is the second time I've read this book and the second book created by Cherlyn Jac--I admit because I forgot the plot--yet the story is wonderfully made. I wish I can read more of this author's time traveling stories.

The story's plot:
Tori got switched with her ancestor whose name and looks are similar to hers and when she did, she changed the journal accounts of her great-great-grandfather. She lost her memories and was forced to live the life of her ancestor: fending off lovers and trying to win back the trust and love of her husband and his household. And of course, preventing her stubborn husband from being killed--as was written in her great-great-grandfather's journal who is Victoria's son, while her ancestor is being... herself...in the future thinking that her husband is responsible to her dilemma... of course until she got herself literally in the asylum in the end.

All in all, she's really good at this. I love it! Five out of five!

Binged read thid along after reading Yesterday's Passion by Cheryl Biggs. And, honestly, I had to secondlook many details of these author and what came first because, IT WAS ALMOST SIMILAR down to the "clues" as to who the FL were.
Yes, I did like this more than the previously read HR mentioned above because it brought more of of the original writing style not commpn these days
But again, maybe eading the first book made this just passable for me hence, just giving it the same star rating
Other similarities of these 2: creole, sun bronzed, speech, black woman for a major doma
Ps. Not discouraging anyone from reading these two. Just giving my all honest review after reading. Which will doffer for everyone's circumstances

Fucking A this book was cray. But that's what happens when you read a romance written in the early 90's....sexism and racism galore
