About this ebook

Casey Donovan has issues: hair, height and uncontrollable trips to the 19th century! And now this --she’s accidentally taken Nate Mackenzie, the cutest boy in the school, back in time. Awkward. 

Protocol pressures her to tell their 1860 hosts that he is her brother and when Casey finds she has a handsome, wealthy (and unwanted) suitor, something changes in Nate. Are those romantic sparks or is it just “brotherly” protectiveness? 

When they return to the present, things go back to the way they were before: Casey parked on the bottom of the rung of the social ladder and Nate perched high on the very the top. Except this time her heart is broken. Plus, her best friend is mad, her parents are split up, and her younger brother gets escorted home by the police. The only thing that could make life worse is if, by some strange twist of fate, she took Nate back to the past again. 

Which of course, she does.

Ratings and reviews

I absolutely loved this book. I'm an old woman and really found this refreshing and just different enough to be enjoyable. I'm recommending it to my granddaughter who is now 15 and looks exactly like Casey - wild hair, knobbly knees and everything. I could so relate to the heroine in this story, because I could place her in that role. Can't wait to read more of your work.

I loved this book i always enjoy a good romance but the history and si-fi include blew me away combing all that i love about readin. I highly recommend this to everyone you will have an amazing time reading it.😊😍

Did I enjoy the story? Well, would assume that, as have read everything out available on kindle unlimited and possibly some that are available as subscriber or ARC team. Her style depends on which book/series, and haven't thought about it since like them all. Lot of them are available in single or set collections. Clockwise Collection, Ambition prequel to The Perception Trilogy, A Nursery Rhyme collection/sets plus I Spy with My Little Eye short story and others. Hoping to get time to read the 'historical' books soon as well.
