He hoped for a wife. He found a companion through time and beyond.
It is 1715 and for Duncan Melville something fundamental is missing from his life. Despite a flourishing legal practice and several close friends, he is lonely, even more so after the recent death of his father. He needs a wife—a companion through life, someone to hold and be held by. What he wasn’t expecting was to be torn away from everything he knew and find said woman in 2016…
Erin Barnes has a lot of stuff going on in her life. She doesn’t need the additional twist of a stranger in weird outdated clothes, but when he risks his life to save hers, she feels obligated to return the favour. Besides, whoever Duncan may be, she can’t exactly deny the immediate attraction.
The complications in Erin’s life explode. Events are set in motion and to Erin’s horror she and Duncan are thrown back to 1715. Not only does Erin have to cope with a different and intimidating world, soon enough she and Duncan are embroiled in a dangerous quest for Duncan’s uncle, a quest that may very well cost them their lives as they travel through a Scotland poised on the brink of rebellion.
Will they find Duncan’s uncle in time? And is the door to the future permanently closed, or will Erin find a way back?
About the Author:
Left to her choice, Anna would have become a time-traveller. As this was impossible, she became a financial professional with two absorbing interests: history and writing. Anna has authored the acclaimed time travelling series The Graham Saga, set in 17th century Scotland and Maryland, as well as the equally acclaimed medieval series The King’s Greatest Enemy which is set in 14th century England.
More recently, Anna has published The Wanderer, a fast-paced contemporary romantic suspense trilogy with paranormal and time-slip ingredients. While she loved stepping out of her comfort zone (and will likely do so again ) she loves to go back in medieval times in her September 2020 release, His Castilian Hawk. Set against the complications of Edward I’s invasion of Wales, His Castilian Hawk is a story of loyalty, integrity—and love.
The Whirlpools of Time Review:
I have not read any of the author’s previous books of the “Graham saga” series, but that did not stop me from enjoying the story. It’s been a while since I read a good time travel story, and the author does an excellent job adapting to this charming historical romance.
The author adds a touch of everything from action and adventure to steamy romance and drama. Right from the beginning, I enjoyed the chemistry between Duncan and Erin. On a side note, I also liked the references to the King George timeline and felt the author made the backdrop as authentic as possible. The author also wrote the villains nicely in the story, like the dastardly Cruikshank. I also enjoyed Arabella and Williams as the supporting cast as the group goes on their journey.
Duncan was my favorite character, and I loved how the author added various layers to him. Duncan tries to do his best, even if he messes up at times. Some of the memorable moments are when Duncan experiences the new world, like being in a car or finding out that women can work. I also loved how Erin adapts to her new surroundings. The author spins the story in such a manner that you cannot predict what would happen.
Moreover, the author does not disappoint in the romance department. Considering that this is a historical romance, the author steams up the pages when we see Erin and Duncan get together. The author also ends the story in a cliffhanger that makes you look forward to reading the next installment.
Overall, I enjoyed reading “The Whirlpools of Time” and am excited to see how the story continues.
