My Review

Let my just say, I absolutely loved, loved, loved this whole concept of a time travel romance- and what a better era than the regency period!! I don't think there could have been a better match for a fiction than a regency/contemporary romance! The way the time travel was described truly transported you to our heroine's isolated cabin in the snow as well as the regency era ballroom and world. The clothing was one thing I really noticed was so beautifully described, and I found the prayer shawl to be such an interesting little tidbit to center the time travel around. I felt like there was a nice thread of faith, and very clearly described action and characters making the story truly clear in my mind. I really just swooned at this romance because although I found my life-long love in the present, I would so love to visit the regency era, or if I could convince my husband, transport us back to that time (maybe with some essentials like oreos and ibuprofen lol). I recommend this one for the historical fiction reader, contemporary romance reader, or those looking for a time travel novel that just depicts the experience perfectly.

I received a complimentary copy of this book, and all opinions given are entirely my own.

More from Linore

I wanted to write a Regency time travel for years. When I saw the movie “Kate and Leopold” I thought, Oh no! Someone used my idea! But I needn’t have worried. Leopold (Hugh Jackman) was a Victorian gentleman, not a Regencian. Secondly, though I enjoyed the flick, I kept thinking it missed many opportunities for humor. (Having written a screenplay since then, I now realize why it missed so many: tight scripts just don’t have room for all the scenes that could be fun.) When I wrote my story, however, I was able to include a lot of the humor scenes that had been floating around in my head for eons. It’s one of the reasons the book is a lot of fun to read—particularly when the Regency hero appears in the present. On a side note, I started this book and then dropped it—for years—mostly because I wanted to write it as Christian romance like my other Regencies. But I kept running into roadblocks. And Christian publishers weren’t interested. Finally I realized I had to let God out of MY box and write the story he was giving me, not the one I thought he should give me. After that, it came together remarkably easily and quickly. And, I think, in a very fun way. I might even do a sequel.
