When a young woman vanishes without a trace from a quaint fishing village on the coast of England, only one person knows the truth, but he remains silent allowing the authorities to search for her in vain.

Meanwhile, Valerie Crane finds herself transported to the year 1605.

Terrified and confused, she turns for help to the Whitfield brothers, who take her in and offer her a home.

Both Alexander and Finlay Whitfield fall in love with the mysterious woman, who shows up on their doorstep, creating a love triangle that threatens to consume them all.

Valerie must make her choice, deciding between the brother who will lead her down the path of destruction, or one who will give her a love she couldn’t find in her own time.

It starts with heartbreak but as you listen you realize that her story, or life, was just beginning. Yes, it does have a time travel twist to it, you do become invested in the story.

I highly recommend this book to you if you are looking for a good suspense story.

Story line sounding intriguing but while on a road trip, instead of keeping us awake & the miles sweep but- we had to get bcuz it was putting both to sleep.

Will never know about the story & we love the author, Irina Shapiro. Too bad.

I appreciated hearing the story, I loved the visuals. I savor the mystery of romance, rather than the description.
I feel one should use inflection rather than accent in telling a story.
Over all enjoyed this and look forward to hearing more of this love story.

A unique love story that proves fate is in hand.

The audiobook needs a strong male voice actor. As for the book, the plot is rushed, but if what you are looking for is a true escape, you’ll enjoy this.

The plot is a good mix of history and romance. I would call it a light-hearted read.

I had such high hopes for this one. I was sucked into the wonderland series! Absolutely LOVED it. This one is okay- but I don’t think I will purchase the additional books.

Not as good as the Wonderland series
