What a thoroughly delightful and fascinating concept for a plot and one I personally found completely intriguing and entertaining. This particular story of time travel told in a whole new and original version was a well developed, solid effort with great attention to detail. I loved these characters! I loved this story! It has a "Julie Garwood-esque" flavor to it, but better.
She has a feisty strength few women possess. She's highly intelligent with plucky independence. She's survived tragedy and come out the victor. I absolutely adored her. Even though she's "gifted", she steers clear of anything supernatural. Alethia Goodsky can read the energy of people and she can tell when they're truthful or lying - - she's a "truthsayer". She's an exotic beauty with her gorgeously long dark chestnut hair and stormy gray eyes. Alethia is half Anishinaabe Native American and half Scots. She's kind hearted and proud.... generous, talented and genuine....and she's a 21st Century modern woman thrown back into the past...locked in the 15th Century.
Malcolm MacKintosh is a Scots Warrior and heir to Moigh Hall. He's big and blonde with piercing crystal blue eyes. Let me just pause right here and say "rawr"!! He's been groomed his entire life to be the next Laird of Clan MacKintosh and he takes his predestined role very seriously. Malcolm is the typical domineering, arrogant, overbearing, controlling Scotsman arse. But he's also wisely intelligent, honorable and thoughtful with his deep caring for his Clan. He's strong and hilarious...continually dumbfounded and completely baffled with Alethia - - as soon as he thinks he's got her all figured out - - she pulls a 180º on him. It's absolutely and deliciously hilarious to "watch" as he's brought to his knees in his confusion.
This story had all the elements of a solid Historical Romance with a bit of comic-relief on the side. Simply hysterical dialogue at times. It was so well thought out and developed and this Author puts so much attention to every detail. Ms. Longley weaves an intriguingly delightful and captivating story using a well played foundation. Strong characters are described perfectly and reinforced throughout the story leaving no doubt and no confusion as to why these beloved characters react (in certain situations) as they do. Never a dull moment here! Dialogue is original, witty and humorously brilliant; flowing succinctly with perfect precision and timing. Brava Ms. Longley. Encore!

Historical Romance, Time Travel, a dash of Magic--I Loved this noverl!!
Do you love Scottish Historical Romances? Do you love novels with Time Travel? This book has both with a bit of magic thrown in. I simply LOVED this book!!When Alethia Goodsky is sent back in time to save a relative of an old hag--she honestly doesn't know how it happened but it did. One minute she was attending a Renaissance Fair in her time--then suddenly she was lying on the ground in 1423 and men are surrounding her! She is obviously frightened but plays it as well as she can.Alethia is taken to the MacKintosh castle by Malcolm--the son of the laird. Eventually she figures she is not in danger but certainly does not like the way women are treated back then and fights it every chance she gets.She finally somewhat settles in and then a fight between two clans begins. She manages to save her clan members and thinks that this is why she was brought here. Of course by now she has fallen in love with Malcoln and is worried that she will be sent back.They hear that the old hag is in town and go to confront her.There is a major twist in this tale which will make you smile--and there is a happily ever after!
