My Review:
I’m sorry but I just couldn’t wait to alert you to this very different time slip romance with brill references to Doctor Who summing up so many incidents promoting the idea “that time is ‘more like a big ball of wobbly-wobbly, timey-wimey…stuff’ rather than strictly linear, as we perceive it.” I loved it! It is actually out on July 12th and I have no hesitation in recommending you go and preorder yourself a copy – definitely one not to be missed IMHO!
Arriving to start a new summer job at Harrison Hall in Virginia, eighteen year old Lorna Randolph opens a door and is transported back to the 1770s where she is greeted by Hart Harrison who recognises her and knows her name. Bewildered by the fleeting encounter she meets him again in another room minutes later – to discover two years have passed for him! This is the start of an action packed time slip romance where Lorna and Hart’s love for each other transcends time but may soon be torn apart again as the Midsummer Ball when he was murdered approaches. Can they work together to save him? Can they be together again in the present or will past events separate them again? Can they change their history?
I’m so glad I got to read this book. Quite simply, one of the best paranormal, time slip stories I’ve ever had the pleasure to read. I’m also glad it is the first in a new series as I can’t wait to read more in future. With great characters, realistic reactions making it so much more credible and a fantastic plot I’d give this more than 5* if I could! I believe this is definitely well worth checking out – hope you enjoy it as much as I did!
I was given an e-copy of this book, without obligation, and this is my honest opinion after choosing to read it.
Synopsis
Lorna Randolph is hired for the summer at Harrison Hall in Virginia, where Revolutionary-War reenactors provide guided tours of the elegant old home. She doesn’t expect to receive a note and a kiss from a handsome young man who then vanishes into mist.
Harrison Hall itself has plans for Lorna – and for Hart Harrison, her momentary suitor and its 18th century heir. Past and present are bound by pledges of love, and modern science melds with old skills and history as Harrison Hall takes Lorna and Hart through time in a race to solve a mystery and save Hart’s life before the Midsummer Ball.

My pleasure, totally! This story was so different in such a good way . . . a real page turner where I was never quite sure how it could work out in the end but I really wanted it to because the characters are so believable! When will the next in the series be available? (Can’t wait!!)

Thanks again. The next story is entitled The White Lady (inspired by white lady or white woman lore) and has a ghostly magical Christmas theme. Time travel, of course. Not sure exactly when it’s coming out, but this fall. I will get a pre-review copy to you. More Doctor Who inspiration. Plus, plus.
