When Petra Baron goes into the fortuneteller’s tent at a Renaissance fair, she expects to leave with a date to prom. Instead, she walks out into Elizabethan England, where she meets gypsies, a demon dog and a kindred spirit in Emory Ravenswood.
Emory must thwart the plans of religious zealots. His mission is dangerous, his enemies are fanatical, and Petra Baron is a complication that Heaven … complication that Heaven only knows he does not need. Or does he? Although Emory is on Heaven’s errand, he learned long ago that Heaven does not always play fair.
As Petra slowly falls for Emory, she wonders if he really is who he seems, or if he is just as lost as she is. How can they have a future while trapped in the past? Or is anything possible Beyond the Fortuneteller’s Tent?

This book started out slow but after the first meeting of Petra and Emory I couldn’t put the book down. The 1600’s was a rough time to live in.
My first book by this author and it kept your interest. It is time travel so it is for fun reading. Doesn’t it ever make you wonder what it would be like to travel back in time? Well this book took a nice peek at the differences and still held a good story line.
Great historic romance with time travel as well; all wrapped in one story. What more can you want?
A bit predictable, but Fun to read.
didn’t realize it was a series. Wanted resolution.
Really enjoyed reading! Searching for the next book. Time traveling in a different way
Did not like it.hard tofollow
So derivative and “throw in every possible trope” that I quit after struggling through the first three chapters.
This book almost got it right. It was a good book that could have been a great book but seemed to be missing something or just a little light on the emotions. Cute idea for a story.
Good story. Some editing errors. Overall I enjoyed it.
It’s okay. There are several editorial mistakes and there is some continuity errors. The story was interesting but it didn’t hook me enough to want to read the others in the series.
Too confusing
A confusing start, not my favorite
This book is disjointed. In several places the story jumps ahead (in time or place) without any warning, leaving me unsure if I missed a page or two somehow. The ending of the story does not follow anything in the story, it just happens. Was it all a dream? Was any of it real? Oh, but wait, her love interest shows up two hundred years (or should it have been 400 years?) to meet the protagonist in her own time. I like stories that are at least internally consistent.
I read this book to approve it for my granddaughter, yet I enjoyed it myself. Interesting and perfect level of romance for pre-teens and teens.
As I have said in other reviews….I do not like books that leave me ‘hanging’ and needing to get the next book in a series in order to finish the story. Cliff-hangers are for tv shows….which I don’t always watch. The book was good up til the end; then a preview of the next book is completely different. I don’t think this is a good practice.
