Publisher Description
A Regency Time Travel Romance from New York Times bestselling author Kasey Michaels.
**Winner of the Waldenbooks Award for Bestselling Time Travel**
All American book editor Cassandra Kelley wanted to do was escape the tour group slowly making it's way through the Tower of London by slipping down a convenient hallway. Once the group moved on, she could find a bus and return to the London Book Fair.
It wasn't as if she was doing anything too terribly wrong. She certainly didn't expect to feel herself drawn to the winding staircase she encountered, but she couldn't resist a slight detour. Once she reached the small room at the base of the stairs a most strange thing happened. A blue mist invaded the space, slowly coiling around her, enveloping her in its coolness. The last thing she thought before she screamed was that she should have known better - she never got away with anything.
Marcus Pendleton had come to the Tower to investigate a dying man's confession concerning the fate of the two royal princes reportedly slain there centuries earlier. After months of investigating, he had decided he now knew the location of the strange room, the blue mist the boys' gaolkeeper had sworn he'd seen. He was making his way down the curving staircase in his highly polished Hessians when he heard a scream, and entered the room just as a blue mist dissipated and he saw an oddly-clothed young woman step Out of the Blue.
He thought she might be a witch. She thought the man was a costumed re-enactor working at the Tower. They were both wrong.
Cassandra Kelley - welcome to Regency England. The real one!
Customer Reviews
Eh - Not Engaging, Not Steamy, Kind of Sappy and Unrealistic
The premise is interesting, but Cassandra lacks so much sense it makes it very difficult to read the character as the story continues. An example would be that Cassie yells she is a witch to one of the most influential members of the ton and threatens to turn him into a toad after continuously having to deflect harm/attention for previous faux pas of the same nature. And she just goes about her day, doesn’t tell anyone and thinks nothing at all will happen because of it. Shocking that isn’t the case right? She is a very childish and immature character. Also, this book is rated PG13, it’s definitely not an adult romance. There is no sex, a nipple is featured here or there. But the phrase, “she flowered for him” is featured often along with overwhelming declarations of mind melting love - whole paragraphs are dedicated to going into detail on how much they love each other in almost every chapter after chapter 12.
