It began nearly
four hundred years ago. The Conall clan and all their people were murdered in a
surprise attack, their beloved castle and all evidence of who destroyed them
burned to the ground with their bodies. In the centuries following, archaeologists
searched through the ruins looking for any evidence of what or who had caused
the untimely demise of such a powerful Scottish clan. All efforts were
fruitless until a spell put in place by an ancient Conall ancestor finally
began to work its magic...
Texas
kindergarten teacher, Brielle Montgomery, finds comfort in the mundane routines
of her life, but when her archaeologist mother asks her to accompany her on a
dig in Scotland, she decides to step out of her comfort zone. Once in Scotland,
they discover a secret spell room below the castle ruins, and Bri finds herself
transported back in time and suddenly married to the castle's ill-fated Laird.
Now, she must work to change the fate of his people, all while trying to find a
way to return to her home and century. But with each passing day, Bri finds
herself falling more deeply in love with her new husband. If she can find a
spell to bring her home, will she use it? And if she stays, will it ultimately
mean her own death as well?
I downloaded
this book during a promotion on Amazon.
A good story,
filled with mystery and deceit. 1645 would not have ended well for the Conall
clan if it was not for Adelle and Bri. A tale filled with romance that stretched
beyond time.
I found the book
at times repetitive and to much tell instead of show. Stating obvious stopped
the flow at times. Otherwise a good plot with beautiful scenes. The Laird of
Conall was, in the beginning, a real hothead, not listening at all. I found it
irritating but later he became a leader with good qualities ready to lead.
Mary's character was a bit overbearing, giving to much away. It felt at times
as if the author thought we could not discern for ourselves and that a Mary
should explain it to us. She became more a pain in the story than a supporter.
Maybe it was intended, not sure.
But, it is a
good book I can recommend to lovers of time-travel and mystery.
