Time is not a river. It is a vast cosmic sea. Where each life exists as rippling circles on its surface, past and future being eternally present. And occasionally, one expanding ring intertwines with that of another, weaving the lives of two people together….
In 2012, Emme Wilde can’t find the right guy. She wants to feel that swept-off-your-feet dizziness of true love. But so far, her dating life has come up short. Star Trek geek? Nice but too serious. Hippy artist? Cute but too vulnerable. Instead, Emme obsesses over the portrait of an unknown man in an old locket. Granted, a seriously dreamy guy with delicious, wind-swept hair she just itches to run her fingers through. But still. Dead men may be great listeners, but they are not exactly boyfriend material. Emme travels to England, determined to uncover his history and conquer the strong connection she feels.
In 1812, James Knight has given up finding the right woman. All he wants is someone to share his love of adventure. Instead, his life has become a Shakespearean drama. His brother languishes in a tragic star-crossed romance. His beloved sister clings to life, slowly dying of consumption. But then he finds a beautiful mystery woman, dripping wet and half-dead, beneath a tree on his estate. Now if he can uncover her history, perhaps adventure – and romance – will find him at last.

There were parts that had me so engrossed that I was laughing out loud as I read. The writing style was easy to fall into and…
Fantastically fun romp through time! A modern book for all us Austen lovers. I love a good romance! But what I love even more is a romance I don’t feel like I need to read in my closet for fear one of my children will pick it up and be appalled at it’s content. This fast moving novel offers all the heart pumping romance without any of the smut. The story line is intriguing and smart whilst also being peppered with fun, quick whited dialogue, a winning combination. This book was a one sitting read for me over a long weekend. Sure my kids were slightly neglected but it…
Brilliantly well-written romance – what a wonderful find Wow! What a fun find this book was. With so many ho-hum books out there, it was such a treat to read something that was tightly plotted, well-edited and really emotionally satisfying. Like other reviewers have said, it was laugh-out-loud funny in places, but the book was so much more than just humor. The plot was fast-paced, cohesive and believable (if I can say that about a time travel romance!). I also loved the author’s strong sense of character. Each character in the book had a distinct…
