About this eBook

 Trapped in the wrong time, she needs a knight in shining armor, but this damsel in distress might be the real savior.

 

A damsel in distress...

 

With a day planner attached to her hip, the last thing Katy Tolson wants is a romance that threatens her well-ordered life. She's set to marry the safe--but bland--guy, but something's not quite...right. A careless wish thrusts her through time into medieval Wales and into the arms of...

 

A knight in somewhat shining armor...

 

Sir Robert Beucol, half-Norman and half-Welsh, lives with the shame of his father's treason and vows to reclaim his family's holdings and thereby his honor. To prove himself to his king, he must be more Norman than a full-blooded Norman. What better way to show loyalty than to fight his mother's people? He has no desire to be sidetracked by the mysterious wench with pink toenails, peculiar habits, and passion smoldering behind her cool, collected exterior.

 

A rebellion that challenges both...

 

The Welsh uprising fits perfectly into Robert’s plans. Katy’s on the other hand? That’s a no. As they embark on a perilous journey through the heart of Wales, each passionate encounter pulls them closer together, but farther from their goals. When everything they value is at stake, can they save each other and their love?

Ratings and reviews

Uptight Katy Tolson lives and dies by her mobile and her day planner. Her well-ordered life is organized down to the minute including her job as a translator, her perfect, but boring fiancé, and her upcoming wedding in accordance with her 5- and 10-year plans. But while on a girls' trip to Wales, a careless wish throws her back in time to medieval Wales and the arms of Sir Robert Beucol. Half Norman and half Welsh, Robert is toiling in the King's service in a desperate bid to regain his family's honor and holdings after his father's treasonous defection to the Welsh when Robert was just a boy. Will helping Katy deflect Robert from his course, or will she open him to his true path? This novel vividly captures how truly dangerous it would be for a woman to time travel to medieval times while retaining all of the romance and passion expected from the genre. Many times, time travel books neglect to reflect on the reality of how brutally women were treated at the hands of "honorable" men, or how wide the language gulf would be between modern and medieval peoples, so Must Love Chainmail is refreshing in that both realities are tackled head-on in an insightful manner. The plot moves along at a fast clip, and despite their communication difficulties, Katy and Robert's spirited dialogue is by turns hilarious then endearing. Their chemistry is undeniable and their passion leaps off the page. This book is a must-read for fans of time travel romance.
