inmyhumbleopinion's review against another edition
4.0
I am not usually a big fan of books that bounce back and forth through time. This book did it in a way that was more palatable than most. This is a story of love across time. In 1601 Lady Elizabeth York writes her story in a journal that will end up in the hands of present-day marine archaeologist Cordelia Ward. Cordelia reads that Elizabeth has the same birthmark as she does. In her day it proclaimed her as a woman of magic. Present day Cordelia has a touch of telekinesis. Due to the jealousy and power hunger of her betrothed Elizabeth lost her true love but swore they would be together one day. Is today that day? Cordelia has choices to make as well could she be the one to end the curse and bring Elizabeth and her true loves souls together again? Romance with a twist that once I got started I had to finish.

I received this book for review from the publisher and the author. I was not compensated nor was I required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.
What I love about these authors is that they are good at not confusing their readers – they could switch back and forth between the two time periods but we get the historical (Elizabeth’s story) first. Our authors remind the reader that in that long ago time period duty was everything. Feelings really didn’t have that much to do with anything – makes you wonder if in some cultures this is still true today.
There’s still the good versus evil going on in the background. But you’re left wondering, until almost the very end, which will come out on top. And by combining the background of Cordelia’s ancestor with her current life is what makes this a page-turner. By adding in notations from a journal that Cordelia reads to us, it’s like Elizabeth is talking to us. This is a way that the authors engage the reader and leaves them wondering how this will affect the future and more specifically how this will affect Cordelia.
Even though the reader may be anxious to find out how everything works out, our authors don’t rush anything. To rush the story along would have spoiled things. If you’re patient you will get your sex scenes but not until the perfect time and it will be worth the wait. This is a must to have on your e-reader.
