Thrust back in time by a horrible accident, Karin finds herself immersed in the mystery of reincarnation and the magic of the Scottish Highlands, at the center of a deadly cholera outbreak, and caught in a growing attraction to a man grieving his lost wife.Karin thinks things can’t get any worse than being pregnant, dumped, and in trouble at work, but a car accident sends her back in time to … back in time to ancient Scotland where she awakes battered and bleeding. Her initial distrust of the dark, brooding stranger who rescues her and treats her during her miscarriage soon changes to a strained attraction as she attempts to settle into her new reality including the threat of witch hunters and a overzealous English Lord.
William MacClaren lost his beloved wife in childbirth and fled to the cover of the priesthood to hide his alchemy and to grieve her loss. When he stumbles upon Karin, the reincarnation of his true love, the pull to her is impossible to deny but the pain of potentially losing her again is too much to risk.

A time travel romance with nice storyline and plot. I think it lacks depth to it. It is to shallow both on the characters and the story. The characters are defined a bit off. But it is a story that has potential to be a lot better if it got more depth and the author described characters and some scenes better.
I like the romance and it could be improved to become a great story.
Highlands and time travel mixed always makes a nice story.
When I started reading this story, I could not put it down. I read the book in one day. This author is an awesome writer. I can not wait to read more of their books. Keep up the great work. You should definitely read this book.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review. This is the fifth book in the Highlander In Time series and it was just such a great read. I just didn’t want it to end. I just fell in love with these characters and getting to go along on their journey. I can’t wait to read more wonderful stories from this author.
Highlanders and time travel seem to go together. Karin is a modern woman who is thrust back in time and William is the highlander who finds/saves and falls in love with her. But Karin has trouble believing she traveled back in time, in spite of the everything she saw and did. William recognized her as his dead wife re-incarnated. There were other travelers around including characters from previous books, but you can read this as a standalone. I generally love anything time travel related because there are so many options for mistakes, misunderstandings and other tangles and I never skip a highlander novel. This was a good book and it could have been a great book. I didn’t think the characters really “clicked” it seems like Karin in particular was just putting up obstacles. I guess if I’d been thrown back in time and my rescuer thought I was his dead wife I might be just as reluctant but it did make the story and little slow in spots. That being said, it was still a fun read and I enjoyed it. (I voluntarily reviewed an ARC).
The club of the Displaced women was getting bigger with Karin Alderson. Her passion for her work led her to face risks but was rewarded. Liked how the issue of disease control was developed. instructive, interesting and witty. Read some time ago Aurina, Cora and Marianne’s stories and enjoyed these smart and fiery women. Suspense, action, drama, strong emotions and passion, things that I like.
Karina is taken back in time when she has a horrible wreck causing her to miscarry her baby. William finds a karina who looks like his dead wife that died in childbirth. And even though he tries to stay away from her and heartache, love prevails. Good strong characters and an interesting story.

Can two wounded souls find happiness together?
This is another really interesting time-travel historical and it is so good. Scotland 1500’s is not a place I really want to be but that is where Karin ends up. William our scot is a widower who not only lost his wife but the child also. That is not all you are in for some really cool twists and turns. This is written so well with marvelous characters there is such a depth of feelings of loss for both characters. It was a very engaging story. I highly recommend this gem.
I love getting to know new authors. Rebecca Preston has written this book on a trope I adore, a Highland story with a time travel twist. When I finished reading this book, I realized that it had much more potential with deeper and detailed scene descriptions. I did like the characters although they too could have been better developed so we know more about them. There are a few plot holes and loose ends that interrupted the enjoyment of the reading. I feel Karin’s character would be improved with more kindness and less resentment. She resented her relationship with her ex Michael and her new found independence was taken out on poor William in a negative way. William’s character also can be improved if he was not so morose and needy all the time. I felt bad for him but his dramatic ways were a little overboard. At the end I felt unsatisfied. There was no explanation or even a hint of why each of the women had been chosen to time travel. There was no explanation as to how it occurred. Then the fact of Karin’s mind working with the concept of no longer being in Georgia but in Medieval Scotland. I understand fantasy but her thought process was less than realistic. Then Karin had two dreams of Maeve. The first one was discussed but the second one was mentioned as if it was important because it came during a crisis and yet the story did not provide anything more about it. I liked the secondary relationship between Karin and Sir Baldric which in turn positively influenced the strained relationship between the Scottish Laird Donal and the English Lord Weatherby. Overall the concept for the story is excellent. However, there is room for improvement and if that is achieved then the potential will increase.
Every time I read a time travel romance, I always wonder what I would do if it was me….not being a nurse or some kind of scientist, I don’t think I would do too well! lol I enjoyed reading William and Karin’s story but I wish they would have spent more time together throughout the story. At 60% of the story, it seemed like they had only said a few words to each other. Apart from that, it was well written and it was fun to revisit the characters from the previous books as well:)
My heart went out to William…he had been so devastated by his wife’s death 10 years earlier and when Karin appeared, she was the exact image of his wife so it’s no wonder he was having such a hard time accepting that she was NOT his wife come back! As for Karin, suddenly finding herself back in time, it takes a while for her to adjust and to believe!! When they all work together to find a cure for what they believe to be cholera after some of the village people get sick, it really was marvellous how they were able to use what they had at hand to create a “modern” cure.

This was a good read. I enjoyed this time travel romance and William, its swoon worthy hero. I grew to like Karin but I will be honest, it took time. I thought the story line was quite engaging and their was plenty of emotional tension as fate brought these two wounded hearts together.
For honest review. Karin Anderson worked for the CDC and finds she is having a bad day after learning she not getting promoted ,pregnant , losing her boyfriend then a accident that she finds herself in castle macclran in the 1500’s. what a Awesome story
