Publisher's summary

She wanted a love for all time.

A life of love lost and heartbreak has cursed the women in Bronte Hughes' family for generations. When she discovers a device that allows her to slip through time, Bronte decides the key to obtaining true love for herself lies in mending the tragedies of the past and restoring a legacy of love fate has robbed from her family...beginning with saving her great-great grandfather from setting sail on the ill-fated voyage of the Titanic.

He searched for a life with purpose.

Good friends and a loving family provided Tris MacKintosh with ample duty and obligation, but none of the challenge and purpose he yearned for in life. When a mysterious young woman appears in a suspiciously timely fashion - not once, but twice - to save his closest friend from death, he's presented with more intrigue than he's experienced in years. Contributing to the war effort against Germany once seemed his best chance to live with purpose and make a mark....

However, with Bronte at his side, Tris soon realizes there is a greater opportunity awaiting him. A chance to be a part of a love to last forever, to change the future...and to save the world. Soon . . .

Picture is misleading

Although this is a really good audio and I enjoyed it, the cover leads you to believe that the time period is in the era of kilt wearing Scots and mideval wenches. This is not the case. The book is set in 2019 and the heroine goes back to just prior to WWII.
The narrator performed beautifully and the story flowed nicely so I was disappointed at first but grew to enjoy the time setting. The book did veer off course towards the end (I am aware that the premise of the book is unrealistic) and I felt it got a little rushed. This is not one of Angela Fortin's better time!e travel books but a nice driving companion.

Good read and narration..



So, two things! 1) This could have been about 150 pages shorter, that’s about how many pages I skipped throughout the story. There were sooo many descriptions of sooo many useless things. The “shinty game” instructions just went on forever. I found myself skimming a lot.

2) I almost quit reading this because I stopped to read some reviews on Goodreads and one reviewer said this was a “cliffhanger.” That couldn’t have been further from the truth. Bronte and Tris got their HEA and it left it open for the next book. NO CLIFFHANGER!

Overall, it was a cute story, about Auld Donell, a magic little man from Ms. Fortin’s other time travel books, who slipped a device to Bronte that allowed her to travel back into the 1900’s to save her great great grandfather from dying on the Titanic, then being hit by a car, then from dying from a supposed bee sting. AND that’s where she met Tris and fell in love.

The only annoying think in this book was the times Bronte got PO’d because she was such a feminist, and someone would say something in 1914 that made perfect sense at the time and she would go off on that person because of their “backward” thinking, or because they didn’t see things the way she did. It’s rather silly. I hate when a female goes back and doesn’t even try to think and act and speak the way everyone from that time does.

There were 3 graphic sex scenes, too many, if you ask me. And the F-bomb was used 5 times.

As to the narration: Kirsten Potter is one of the best female narrators out there. Both her voices and emotions are wonderful.

The cover art, lol

Book is entertaining. Love Kirsten Potter as a narrator.

But...

That cover art... the “past” portion of the book starts in 1911... the cover art is from a decidedly earlier period, lol!

Different storyline

This is a different storyline and I enjoyed it. I especially love the laugh out loud places I got to enjoy. However, the cover picture in no way resembles the time period of this novel. It’s set in 1914 just before the beginning of UK’s involvement of WWI. The picture on the cover looks more like the late 1600’s.

Good narration and story

Good narration and pretty fast paced. But for me there were some plot holes and inconsistencies. Still entertaining and romantic.

Back and forth

I love the story. Very adventurous and warm hearted. Old Donald is a character I love in all your historical time travel novels. It’s the reason I chose this one, just to see what he was up to.😂

Disappointed in the rave reviews.

This was not my first book by Angeline Fortin. I love the narrator, Kristen Potter, which drew me into the purchase in addition to the rave reviews. However, I ended up fast forwarding through so much of the book because of explicit sex scenes and ridiculous comments by the main character. Brontë travels back in time to 1912. One would think that if this actually happened, you would be conscientious of the etiquette of the era. This was not the case at all! Brontë made crude, rude and socially unacceptable comments throughout her time in the past. I almost put the book down many times, disgusted in the outlandish behavior. The overall story has potential, but the vulgarity was unnecessary. I don’t consider myself a prude, however, numerous, detailed sexual encounters, were completely unnecessary. I believe they were used as fillers for the book. I finally finished the book because I hadn’t taken the time to select another.
I would rather the author take more time to write a novel with substance rather than rushing the process and filling with nonsense.
I wish the Audible reviews noted the age group of the reviewers, which might help with the selection process.
