I’ve enjoyed many stories by Dawn, and really am not a fan of time travel stories, but this may change my mind. The time travel worked well, and really was a small part of the story. The H had years to digest what happened to him by the time he meets the h. But, the h met him when she was 12 through a mirror.
The h has spirit, is smart and understands about time travel through a relative. So when she meets the H she is already in love.
I can’t wait to research to see if her brother’s have their own stories. There isn’t lovemaking, but their is one act of foreplay prior to marriage. Heat level 3.5 out of 5 if that and quickly described.
We have an interesting story that unfolds at just the right pace. No cheating, no cliffhanger, HEA, small tad of spice and romance.
I can’t improve on the blurb, just recommending this story. (ljb)
I feel this is the best book in the series yet. I was enthralled from the beginning. Page after page the excitement and intrigue could be felt. I loved all the characters. The main female lead seemed a little spoiled, calculating and demanding however she had a heart that was full of love and kindness. The lead male character is definitely swoon worthy. Even though this is a quick read I found it completely satisfying my romance needs. I do recommend this book.
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout in the set “Linked Across Time: Volume Two” and am voluntarily leaving a review.
This 6th book wasn’t the story I was hoping for, but know when we finally get Trenton and Eve’s story it’ll be worth waiting for. I have not read her first book of the series that this Captain appears in, but I think that the prologue does a good job of giving us a brief summary. I definitely wasn’t expecting this story to be about Alys’s daughter. Definitely a surprise And I wish I had read the first book before this one. There is mug I feel that I would understand better about the interactions. However, all that aside, I really did enjoy this book. It built a lot on the past and gave hints to the future.

This is the sixth book in the Linked Across Time, a time travel romance/historical romance/pirate story. The storyline is original, fun, and captivating. Duchess DeFoix did a great job with the narration. Her voice fits perfectly the story. I enjoyed it!

This is a regency romance with a time travel element [which is a very minor part of the story]. I have not read any of this author’s previous works – but from reading some of the reviews, I got the sense that some of these characters come from other stories. Perhaps if I had read those other stories, I would have enjoyed this one more. I found the story full of information dumps [which are likely the stories from her previous works] – where characters spend a lot of time recounting events. The mother of MC Lady Elizabeth is from the 20th Century – and she uses terms/language from that time period, even though she now lives hundreds of years in the past – I found this a bit jarring and odd that everyone understood her given that would not be the language of the time.
The narrator, Duchess DeFoix, did a nice job and her voice is enjoyable to listen to.
She grew up with stories of a different time and handsome heroes. Lady Elizabeth sees a pirate in a mirror and begins to wonder if time travel is possible. Jackerson is that pirate and a duke, he has a secret from a different time. Then they meet. Now it becomes interesting to see what happens.
This is a time travel historical romance with danger and pirates. The characters are so good they pop off the page and draw you into their tale. They are both adventitious and their lives are filled with drama. It was a story full of excitement and suspense. This is a great historical romance and action adventure.
What it would have been like to hear a beloved story of a tale from your mother only to find out it isn’t a tale but a true story. To one day look in the mirror and see that handsome devil the story is based on, even better to find time tavel has you meet and fall in love with the handsome devil. This is a wonderful story that just reaches in to your soul grabbing your attention and making you fall in love with a pirate out of his own time twisted into another time making a wonderful life for his self and finding the one person who turns his world upside down. It is so very easy to picture this as a delightful movie that would become a classic in no time.
I have mixed feelings about the narration, oh I feel she did a great job but her normal voice is just to cheery for me. I can hear the sun shine when I think it might have been a little better if it wasn’t shinning so loud. Her character voices are wonderful both male and female are great, you always know who is talking and what they are feeling. She can really pull out the emotions of each character as she brings the story to life. There are no repeating of words, no volume change and no background noise. She does have a pleasant normal voice it just isn’t one that sounds natural to me, I can’t imagine talking to someone who is so cheery, and it just seem forced. Besides that I think it was a great audio, it is very clear and clean.
The one thing I really like about this author is she gives such wonderful delightful characters you can relate to. Even though Jack was in an earlier book you don’t feel lost if you haven’t read it. Yes you have a few questions but the author fills that in well that you can read this as a standalone. I do have to say it does make you want to read the other book to find out a little more about him but it is not needed. There is no doubt I love Jack and all he stands for but Elizabeth and her mother stole myh heart as well. I loved how time travel has show this family the newer ways of life that women don’t need a man and should not be forced into marriage. I loved how her parents made plans for her that should she choose not to marry she will be able to take care of herself. It is great how she stands up and tells it like it is, she is very intelligent just a lovely all around person.
I loved this plot as well as the characters, I find time travel so amazing and have to wonder if it is really out there. I know this is one author that makes me believe it is. The author gives you a tale of one man traveling more to the future which adds a little mystery to it. I really loved how Elizabeth was telling the tale and saw the handsome man in the mirror when she was young, then years later she meets him. There is mystery around him and the story of his tale. I thought the author really put some time and thought into the writing of this book writing in a way that pulls the reader in giving a story that touches your soul making you just feel at peace watching these two with their cat and mouse game. The buildup of the romance was delightful as well as the few twists and turns the author gives. We first meet Captain Jack in a past book he really took my breath a way then but not as much as he does now. The reader had mixed feeling in the past book wanting him to come out the winner of the ladies hand. I felt sorry for him and was so glad he got his own story that is more touching than the last book he was in. They say everything happens for a reason which this author has shown. It wasn’t his time for love there was a strong love waiting for him and so worth the wait.
For me this was a great read with a touching romance that I totally enjoyed and got lost in. I loved the mystery and the twists and turns which I found to be exciting.
