Book 1 of 3: The MacCarthy Sisters

See all formats and editions

A time-travel romance for fans of Diana Gabaldon and Hazel Hunter.

To set him free from an ancient curse, she must travel to a time of myth and legend…

Regan MacCarthy’s ability to see ghosts is a gift inherited from her Irish ancestors, but it’s one she’d dearly like to give back. In an attempt to return her powers to their source, she travels to Ireland to harness the ancient magic that still permeates the mystical site of Newgrange. Instead, something far more unexpected awaits her: a strapping, gorgeous stranger who insists he’s a centuries-old Celtic warrior.

Fáelán was one of Fionn MacCumhaill’s elite soldiers before being cursed by a resentful fae princess. The only way to free himself is to fall so deeply in love that he’d sacrifice his life. Not an easy matter when he’s invisible to most. Yet Regan sees him—not just the proud, handsome warrior on the surface, but the complex man beneath. Only when it’s too late does Fáelán realize that drawing this beautiful mortal into his world has endangered them both, and may destroy the happiness he’s waited an eternity to claim…

Time travel with twist

Beautiful story telling with great twist and turns ... really enjoyable. Will be reading more of these novels . Thanks

Reviewed in Australia on 2 April 2019

This is nothing like Outlander so I can't see how a loved of Outlander would like this story, sort of false advertising. Now that I've got that out of the way, I did actually enjoy this story, it was different to what I normally read and I will read more from this author.

Time Travel with a Twist

Reviewed in Australia on 25 October 2017

Tangled in Time is a time travel romance with a twist. Fáelán is a Celtic warrior cursed by the fae princess, Morrigan, to live in a void realm, only able to access the Earthly realm during the solstices when the veil thins. Due to the intervention of a friendly fae at the time of his cursing, he is able to teleport himself to the Earthly realm (although this uses a lot of his strength); however he can only be seen by certain members of his family and by those with the ‘gift.’ He is destined to be cursed until he meets one of these gifted and falls in love with them to the point where he’d be willing to sacrifice his own life for her. And so the story begins....

Regan is a psychic who has the ability to interact with ghosts. Thoroughly jaded with her ability, she goes to Ireland to visit ancient sites of power to try and block her gift. It is at one such site that she meets Fáelán and despite his protests to the contrary she believes he is simply another ghost that needs to ‘seek the light.’ She eventually comes to believe his story and then events unfold as she and Fáelán attempt to undo his curse.

This was an enjoyable light read with quite a few humorous moments. The author has a lovely writing style and the relationship between Regan and her ‘boasty ghosty’ Fáelán was lovely to watch unfold. The world building was very well done, as was the characterisation of both the primary and secondary characters.

A few reviews have noted that Regan’s disbelief of Fáelán’s curse may have gone on too long. Perhaps, but I think you have to take in account Regan’s pure weariness of her abilities, and the insistence of her mother to continue to help everyone who needs it, even at the expense of Regan’s own peace of mind. By the time she meets Fáelán she is well and truly over anything ghost related, and her disbelief is a defence/coping mechanism. Once she can no longer ignore the ‘anomalies’ surrounding Fáelán she jumps in with both feet to help him.

This was the first book I have read by this author and I certainly will keep an eye out for her other/future works. This was a perfect read to just relax with, and I suggest that if you read it, go with the flow and just enjoy it.

And intricate story

Reviewed in Australia on 11 October 2022

A story that I found the first half to be more of a travel guide. All the Old relics and places the heroine went to would’ve had lots of ghosts who could have been written into the story ,possibly giving her clues to make the story interesting . The exciting part of the story was towards the end when things started to happen. I found the story to be a bit too involved and hard to finish.

Fàelàn und Regan

Reviewed in Germany on 2 December 2017

Verified Purchase

Wundervolles Buch. Die Handlung, teilweise im 3.Jahrhundert und in der Gegenwart stattfindend, ist sehr interessant und spannend. Das Reich der Feen ist eine eigene fantastische Welt, wobei die Fee Morrigan immer wieder Intrigen spinnt und den Menschen übel mitspielt. Fàelàn aus diesen Fallstricken zu befreien ist zentrales Thema. Regan ist eine Geisterflüsterin, die ihm dabei hilft. Die Charaktere sind vielschichtig gezeichnet und das Lesen hat Spaß gemacht. Empfehlenswerte Lektüre.

Really enjoyable read

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 31 October 2017

If you love the concept of time travel and the science behind it, you'll love this story by Barbara Longley. Barber's easy to read style draws you into the story and she's brilliant at mixing humour, witty dialogue, history, romance and science to boot. Can highly recommend this one and really hope that Barbara writes a second book for what is hopefully going to be a new series.

"Tangled in Time”

Reviewed in the United States on 27 October 2017

Verified Purchase

"Tangled in Time” is the first of Barbara Longley’s The McCarthy Sisters series. It was an enjoyable read and my only complaint was the extremely short length of time spent Regan and Faelan spent at the beginning of the book getting to know one another. I would have enjoyed seeing more of the interactions between the two main characters and their developing relationship. It skips from her falling asleep to him knocking on the door a few weeks later.

Regan MacCarthy has inherited “the gift” to see ghost from her Irish ancestors. She has devoted her life to helping the deceased moved on and has become tired of the problems that comes along with the ability. In an attempt to return her powers, she travels to Ireland attempting to find a way to tap into ancient magic around Ireland. She trespasses onto the mystical site of Newgrange where she has visited and can feel the strong pull of magic. It is at Newgrange where she meets Faelan.
Faelan, is an 1800-year-old Fiann that has been cursed to live in the void by a rejected vengeful Fae princess. He can touch the real world only during the Solstices and Equinox’s, when the veil between worlds has thinned. He discovered that he can ‘teleport’ himself beyond his island void to seek the one person that has the ability to break his curse.

Regan doesn’t believe Faelan when she first meets him at Newgrange, because she thinks he is a ghost and refuses to accept the reality he is in. Here the twist and turns begins as he leads her around Ireland as her tour guide. I wish we had more of their time together and the development of their relationship before continuing into the next phase of the book.
Once Faelan has fallen in love with Regan the Fae Princess decides to take Faelan back to his void island and tells him that she will not release him. Regan is heartbroken and has an unexpected visit from another Fae that offers to help her bring Faelen back.
This is where the book becomes engaging and I found it difficult to put down. Traveling to the Fae realm to seek help, Regan is transported back in time to prevent Faelan from being cursed at all. As the story progresses, we have interesting twist and turns, lots of intrigue and interactions with the fae.
Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed reading Tangled in Time and would recommend it to anyone looking for a light-hearted and romantic journey.

I received this book via Goodread for an honest review.
