Thank you NetGalley for the arc. The review below is purely my own opinion.

I haven't read a period/historical romance in years but I liked Sariah Wilson's other books so I requested for an arc of this one. And it was super super good! I loved it!

I loved both MC's. Emma's smart, spunky, and sweet. Hartley was gruff, adorable, and oh-so-swoony. (I was imagining Justin Hartley from the TV show "This Is Us" as I was reading. That totally contributed to the feels. Hahaha.)

I loved the side characters.

I loved that there was a Pretty Woman vibe to the story.

If you're looking a fun, clean, low-angst read with a ton of feels, I highly recommend this book.

I picked up Once Upon a Time Travel By Sariah Wilson as I fancied something light and fluffy and this certainly hit the spot.
This is my first experience with a Sariah Wilson book and this definitely got a thumbs up from me.
It was just what I needed, An easy read that put a big smile on my face.
So first I just want to say I absolutely love time travel romances and couldn't wait to get stuck into this one.
"So Once Upon A Time Travel," Tells the story of Emma Damon who while working at Hartley Hall manages to get herself transported through time to 1816 (200 years in the past to be precise).
Here Emma gets mistaken for someone else entirely, an American lass by the name of Miss Emily Blythe.
Seeing no other course of action Emma decides to pretend to be Miss Blythe Until she can work out how to return home.
The only dilemma is Miss Blythe is about to be engaged to the earl of Hartley's brother and Emma now must learn how to engage with polite society in this time period and help keep her true identity under wraps.
To further confound things, Emma takes a massive shine to The Earl Of Hartley.
The Earl himself has vowed never to marry, so pushes his feeling for Emma aside while in turn nudging her in his brother's direction.
So this story was lovely, it kept my interest, flowed brilliantly and also made me chuckle on numerous occasions.
The two main characters Emma and Hartley were extremely likeable, though I did find Hartley a bit thick-headed at times particularly in regard to his ex-love Libby, who everyone but he could see what a huge golddigger the girl was.
I loved all the secondary characters, especially aunt Charles that woman cracked me up.
This was also a mainly clean read, Bar a couple of heated kisses this was PG rated all the way.
So Once upon a time travel really does do what it says on the tin, its a feel good delightful fun read that I really loved.
So now for my negatives and I really hate to do this as I really did enjoy this story very much,
So here goes,
first, I didn't like the introduction of magic into the story, I think it was just put out there to help explain the time travelling nature of this tale, I don't think it added much overall and I would have preferred it not to have entered the equation at all as this was such a lovely tale and it was managing just fine without its inclusion.
That brings me to my second gripe the time travelling itself.
I kept waiting for someone to explain how the dress with the note got into the closet, and waiting and waiting some more, I finally assumed Emma had put it there at some point but this was never actually clarified for me.
Then there were a lot of things that came out of Emma's mouth that I felt people in the 1800's would have been much more shocked by, she didn't have a filter, I myself found her extremely amusing but I felt The aristocracy of the nineteenth century would have been outraged.
My final issue was When the real Miss Emily Blythe reared her little head.
It was brushed away so easily and I found the events just a little convenient and a trifle unbelievable in their content.
So, Now that nasty business is over with, let me just say that this was such an entertaining read.
I found Once Upon a time travel very amusing and I would so recommend this to others no issue.
So lastly just want to say thank you to NetGalley and the author for providing me with an ARC
This is my own unbiased and honest opinion.

An sweet and fun time travel story with enough surprises to keep you entertained!

A majority of the story is told from Emma's point of view after she travels back in time to the early 1800s. There she meets the owner of the house she had been working at in 2017 when it has become a museum. Hartley mistakes her for the woman who he has set up to become his brother's future wife.

As Emma and Hartley get to know each other better it was amusing seeing her modern sensibilities through his eyes and some of the 1800s hygiene and food through her's.

The plot moves at a good pace and I really enjoyed the ending and epilogue. While I would love more stories about Emma and Hartley or other characters in this book this story was wrapped up well.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for providing an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This was just the distraction I needed! I thought this was a fun and unique story and was sucked in from the start. It combines my two favorite genres, contemporary and regency, into one delightful story.

After loosing her parents at a young age, Emma Damon spent her early years bouncing from one foster home to the next. Never really having an actual home to call her own. She overcomes her trials and works hard putting herself through school. After graduation college she lands an internship (or something like that) at Hartley Hall in England, she jumps at the chance and figures this will be a good chance to figure out her next step in life. She is drawn to Hartley Hall and her life is changed forever when she's snooping one night and discovers a hidden door.

From the synopsis you already know that Emma gets transported back 200 years to 1816. It's always fun to think about time-travel, wondering what it would be like to go back in time, or jump 200 years in the future! I can't even imagine what the world will be like in 2217! I think going back in time would be a little easier since we have so many books about the time period and would sort of know what to expect. I thought Ms. Wilson did a great job showing the differences between the time periods and how hard it would be to acclimate to such different customs, etc.

I loved the characters, Emma, Hartley and Aunt Charles as well as the other supporting cast. Emma is a likable heroine who is struggling to adapt to 1816 norms and give up all our modern conveniences. Harley was a great broody regency hero. There's lots of tension and chemistry between the two and of course some swoony kisses! One thing I liked that sets this apart from other regencies, is I just didn't know how it would end. The time-travel element leaves things up in the air as you read so you're never really sure if Emma will stay or go or what will happen. I liked being kept on my toes, but knew Ms. Wilson would find a way for them (and me) to get a HEA.

Overall, I really enjoyed this one and would definitely recommend to any contemporary/regency fan!

Content
Romance: Clean - a few steamy kisses, but stays clean
Language: None, that I remember
Violence: None-very mild
Religious: None
Series: I SURE HOPE SO!

I thought this book was delightful and stayed up to read the entire thing in one night. I always enjoy this author and loved the humor, the romance, the just overall fun-ness of the story. It totally drew me in. I hope there's more to come!

God this was such a fun book! Emma is such a wonderful character, and Hartley the perfect love interest. I haven't enjoyed a story so much in quite a while and I plan on recommending it to any and everyone. IT WAS truly a refreshing story

Very enjoyable, loved the characters, the setting and the ending was perfect.

This book checked all my buttons for a sweet romance.
Lovable characters, gorgeous scenery and a nice dash of sass.
This is an author that I can count on for a well written, cozy read.

I received a copy of this book from the publishers via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Emma Damon, a recent graduate, received a scholarship to study in London. Working in Hartley Hall, Emma knows the Rose Room is off limits but she just can’t resist. Finding a hidden room behind a portrait adds to Emma’s excitement. Unfortunately, she finds herself trapped and loses consciousness. Waking up confused and shocked in 1816, all Emma wants is to return home.

Mistaken for a Ms Emily Blythe by the current occupiers of Hartley Hall, Emma must pretend to be everything she’s not or finds herself out on the street. Ms Blythe was to arrive from America as a bride for the Earl of Hartley’s brother. Emma must try to act the part of a sophisticated lady.

Hartley is a man who has closed off his heart and hardened his soul against romance because of the loss of a woman. He is determined this unusual woman marry his brother despite his own growing attraction. Enlisting the help of his Aunt Charles, he seeks to make Emma the toast of the ton.

Once Upon a Time Travel is a full-length novel that takes a unique approach in viewpoint. Emma’s viewpoint is told in first person narrative while Hartley’s is in the third person.

This is an instant-attraction story where the love develops slowly and realistically. The characters battle their feelings and both have a lot to overcome to realise their happy ever after. There are little dashes of the supernatural to this story, not least of which is time travel. These only enhance the story and elevate it from your typical Regency romance to something just a little bit special.

I hope Ms Wilson intends to develop this into a series as she created an interesting mix of characters and word building that deserve to be explored.

Thank you netgalley, I love it, read in one night would love to read more from Sariah wilson

What would you give up for your one true love? Well Emma Damon finds that when she travels from 2017 back to 1816 she has to give up modern conveniences to be in the arms of Hartley. Hartley is a man who has closed off his heart and hardened his soul against romance because of the loss of a women. Emma knows that she must adapt to her new age in order to survive but is she willing to be wed to a man she has not met? This story revolves around a group of many unique characters that the reader wishes to know more about. Wonder if Wilson intends to explore them in a series? Amusement and paranormal surprises make this glued to your hands read not to be missed. "A copy of this book was provided by Kindle Press via NetGalley with no requirement for a review. Comments here are my honest opinion."

I really enjoyed this romance. It was an insta-attraction but not insta-love. I like when the hero and the heroine get to know each other first and then fall in love better. Emma is hilarious, not only is she from a different time period but she is also from another country. She is a 2017 American stuck in 1816 England. Charles is the man! Or women actually. Loved her.

What a darling book! I loved Hartley and Emma, but Charles stole the show. She was fantastic. The story was wonderful and loved the deep, rich, characters. Emma never failed to crack me up and Charles' conniving was so much fun. Especially loved the epilogue. Just another Sariah Wilson book I found very hard to put down.
