This is an OK time travel romance, with a likable couple, but they fell in love much too quickly for me to believe. This book gets 3.5 stars from me, rounded down to 3 stars.
I liked Caroline, but thought she adapted to her time travel way to easily. She would have been much more freaked out by it than she was, and would have missed more things from her modern life.
I also liked Callum, but thought he accepted Caroline's story of time travel a little too easily. If she had something from the future (like a cell phone or computer) to prove her story, it would have made more sense. But that she would remember the exact date a king was born, and his name? I didn't buy it, and I didn't believe that Callum would have either.
My main issue with the story, though, was that they fell in love way too quickly to believe. Their cultures were so different, and I think it would have taken them both a lot longer to adjust to each other. Instead, they lusted after each other right away, and were in love in only a few weeks? I just didn't believe it.
My rating system is below.
1 star -- Hated it, or did not finish. I usually only give this rating if some of the content is truly objectionable to me, like if one of the main characters does something really awful, and gets away with it.
2 stars -- Didn't like it. This rating usually means that I thought the writing wasn't very good, the editing was terrible, I didn't like the characters, or it had other major flaws.
3 stars -- I liked it, but had some minor issues with it. This rating means that there were minor editing issues, the story needed more character development, it was just too unrealistic, or had some other fairly minor issue. The majority of books I read get this rating – I do not consider it a bad rating.
4 stars -- I liked it a lot. This is a high rating for me, and I rarely give a higher one.
5 stars -- I loved it, and will probably read it again. Very few books are good enough to get this rating from me. The ones that do are usually classics.
