Will Mora and Neil be too late to save a love that began centuries before?

'The MacDonald comes’ warns Mora Campbell when Neil MacKenzie finds the young Scotswoman lying unconscious at the top of his stairs after he discovers his murdered housekeeper slumped at the bottom. Mora’s claim that she’s his fiancé from 1602 and was chased to the future by clan chieftain, Red MacDonald, through ‘the door to nowhere’ seems utter nonsense. Neil thinks she’s addled from the blow to her head until his life spirals into chaos and the avenging Highlander shows up wanting blood. Mora knows the Neil of the future is truly her beloved Niall who disappeared from the past, but he must also remember. And fast.

Although Niall’s kinsmen believe he’s dead, and Mora is now destined to marry his brother, she’s convinced that if she and Neil return to the past, all will be right. The balance of the present and future are in peril if she marries another, and the Neil of the present will cease to exist. The only problem is how to get back to 1602. An ancient relic, the ultimate geek friend, and a little Celtic magic help pave the way back to the enormous challenge that awaits them. If they’re in time.

I love time travel romance! I really do and this book was totally different from what I am used to reading.

 This book was different for me. Different because I am so used to the guys time traveling and this time it was the woman who time travel. Whowuddathunkit?  It was refreshing to read a book with a different twist. Mora Campbell was thrust forward in time to search for her long lost love. She meets Neil who she believes to be Niall. Neil thinks that maybe she hit her head to hard and does not believe anything she says. Neil’s mind begins to remember things he never even thought of and soon finds out the truth. They are soon thrown into a long fighting battle with the MacDonalds.

 

Neil and Mora are perfect together. And boy did I love Mora. She was so hot tempered, feisty, and funny.  Even after being thrown into the future she is determined to make her lost love Neil remember her. I abso loved her humor. I loved how well she adjusted and fast to her current situation.

 

Neil of course doesn’t remember her, but once he does, he stands strong next to her with everything that he has. I love Neil, that he is a complete gentlemen with Mora. He respects her. This is one quality I love in a man.

 

Beth did a fantastic job building up the romance in this book. This book was a easy read.

If you want to read as true romance. This book is it.

Happy Reading!
