About this listen
This brooch saga begins July 14, 1789, the day French revolutionaries stormed the Bastille! And America’s ambassador to France, Thomas Jefferson, comes to Sophia Orsini's rescue....
Sophia Orsini, a time-traveling Italian artist, believes she understands how the pearl brooch magic works, but when it abandons her in the middle of an 18th century Paris mob, she realizes she was wrong.
America’s ambassador to France, Thomas Jefferson, comes to Sophia’s rescue, but that meeting leads her down a path she otherwise wouldn’t have chosen.
Kevin Fraser and his pregnant wife, JL, fly in his Cessna to enjoy a weekend at Mallory Plantation in Virginia, but wind shear turns Kevin's textbook landing into a disaster and the plane through a chain-link fence, injuring JL and sending her into premature labor.
Pete Parrino, VP of Global Security for MacKlenna Corporation, is in Florence on business when he stumbles upon Sophia Orsini’s art studio. Sophia is the love of Pete’s life, and he hasn’t seen or heard from her in 20 years. When he discovers she hasn’t returned from her annual two-week holiday, he breaks into her studio and finds evidence that she’s a time traveler.
When the clan discovers where she is, Pete, Matt Kelly, and Jack Mallory must decide how much of America’s history they’re willing to change in order to bring Sophia back to the future.

The knight was supposed to be a man. Not me, Sophie MacKnight, a marketing associate from California. This must be a practical joke that the Scots play on visiting Americans. Because otherwise I’ve inherited a haunted castle in Scotland, along with one irritatingly sexy Scotsman. Frankly, I thought I would fly here, sell the heap of bricks, and head back home to a life that I…well, I was comfortable with at the very least. Instead, the people of Loren Brae are in trouble, and it appears that as the new owner of the castle, I’m next in line to reinstate the magickal Order of Caledonia.

Librarian Sylvia Ashe knows nothing about her past, having grown up without a father and a mother who refused to discuss him. When she stumbles upon a diary that suggests she's descended from magicians, she's skeptical. After all, magicians are special, and she's just an ordinary woman who loves books. She seeks answers from a member of the most prominent family of magicians, but she quickly learns that finding the truth won't be easy, especially when he turns out to be as artless as her, and more compelling and dangerous than books.

Where is Teri Snaubelt?
It was difficult to stay engaged either Carolyn Lee’s reading. It was forced and didn’t flow naturally. Her Scottish accent was also not well executed. I’ve really enjoyed the series and hope the remainder of the books have a different narrator.

Terrible Narration
I love this series, this author, and this book. Unfortunately this new narrator has completely ruined this book for me. Her weird cadence, lack of inflection, and terrible accents throw the story off. It is hard to get past her voice to get into the story itself. When a book has a good narrator with believable accents, a smooth delivery, and a natural cadence, the story comes alive and if you close your eyes you can be transported right into the lives of the characters. This narrator prevents that from happening. Please go back to the previous narrator. I think I'll just read this book and avoid the frustration. Keep writing and recording these books, but please use your former narrator.

Great story... Pity about the accents...
Love the Celtic Brooch stories and all the twists and turns in the plots.
I was disappointed with the narration on this one though. I didn't seem to flow as well as the others and the various accents varied from "good to Ok" for the American accents and "average to woeful" for the European accents, particularly the Scottish ones (which sounded more Irish to Swedish than Scottish). Given that these stories have a large Scottish influence I would have thought this would be a criteria to choose a narrator that can pull it off properly?

Great narration but the story drags a bit...
I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review. That being said I tend to be a bit harder on the ones given to me.
I am going to start by saying this is YA to an adult read due to the type of sexual content although no actual sex scenes. I loved the history aspect of the story and getting to know Thomas Jefferson through this historical fiction was quite entertaining. I have not read the other books in this series (this story really can stand on it's own in the way it was written), so I don't feel at all let down by this narrator. I truly felt Carolyn Lee did a great job with the acting, voices/accents and overall narration.... but I do understand how the other listeners probably feel. Had they changed from Jim Dale to someone else in the Harry Potter series there would have been a huge upset as well- we simply get used to a narrator and don't like the change.
I really enjoyed this story, if I could change anything I would shorten it by a couple of hours. To me, there were several times the story just dragged and some of those parts could have easily been left out. I did really enjoy listening to this book and would absolutely recommend it to those who love historical fictions.

Change in narrator
At first I was disappointed in the narrative. By the middle of the book I was won over! Turned out to be one of my favorite books of the series. The kids in the books are so precocious the make me laugh out loud.

The narrator makes the story
The narrator is different than the first 8 books. She has a problem speaking as a Scotsman which makes them sound illiterate and is grating. It is taking me 3 times as long to get through this story because of the narrator. I can only tolerate listening to her for 15 - 30 min at a time.

History revisited
Once again the story line was suspenseful, exciting and all the things Katherine is known to produce! What a mind, and gift. I still believe it would be awesome without the rough language and the use of Jesus name being toss about without respect! Still the content ( history ties) set a vivid picture. Carolyn captured Sofia expertly!
