Lily Chastain has lost everything—her family, her inheritance, and her fiancé. Desperate to escape her pain, she heads for a remote castle in Scotland, but is trapped by a violent storm along the way. Injured and alone, she is drawn by a lighted cottage in the mist. What she finds there will change her life forever.

Attacked by a vicious rival and betrayed by someone from his own clan, Bram Macgillivray finds himself alone and on the run. His father is dead, his holding all but destroyed. Wanting vengeance, he seeks out the help of his cousins, but finds instead a beautiful woman who calls to his heart.

After losing herself in an unexpected and wonderful night of sensuality, Lily wakes to find Bram gone. But even more disturbing, when she leaves the sanctuary of the cottage, she finds that it has disappeared as well.

Separated by over five hundred years, yet tied together through a magic stronger than the bonds of time and place, Lily and Bram fight to find each other again. And as Lily uncovers the secrets of the past, she must race to find a way back to save the only man she’s ever truly loved.

I'm not one for romance novels but I must admit, I am a sucker for time travel romances. I think it's the combination of history and romance that get me hooked. And hooked I was from the very beginning. The idea of having a perfect love and then losing them, only to miss them the rest of your life was great. I cared about the characters and wanted so badly for them to find each other again and to be happy. This was one the kept me up reading late into the night. I loved it!

This has a brilliant and intriguing storyline and characters who are captivating, amusing and likable. It's full of suspense, drama, love, loyalty and betrayal. It involves a clan blood feud that legend has going full circle, and family ties that were not known until exposed in the past. I love time travel stories and this one had unexpected twists that I really enjoyed.
I received a complimentary copy of this book from Netgalley. This is my honest and voluntary opinion of it.

Dee Davis’ Cottage in the Mist is part of her time travel series. Like Outlander, this is a Scottish time travel but it brings Davis’ unique twist to her story. Loss is a huge part of what brings Lily and Bram together at the cottage in the mist. Both have suffered and now one lives for revenge.

It is a lovely story of two soul mates seemingly separated by time finding each other. The dialogue is not so heavily Scottish brogue so that it hinders the flow of the story as with some novels. It is instant lust, but love does want to follow. As always there are lots of problems so that the reader wants to keep reading to see how Lily and Bram will fare.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book! Dee is an excellent storyteller with characters you want to get to know better and an intriguing story line that draws you in deeper. Love, time travel, betrayal... Cottage in the Mist has it all.
I received an advanced copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving an honest review.

Netgalley thank you for the advanced readers copy of Dee Davis novel, I am a lover of historical fiction, While reading this book, I found it kept my attention but I must confess when I was finished I enjoyed it and would recommend. It.

Great title. Very slow start and the characters just didn’t interest or engage me. And of course any time travel romance taking place in the Scottish Highlands is inevitably going to draw comparisons to Outlander - and they aren’t unwarranted here. Certain characters, relationships, circumstances, plot developments, even place names (Duncreag/Craig na Dun?) seem suspiciously similar. If it’s a “nod” to the Gabaldon work, Dee Davis is not exactly pulling it off. It just feels like the author took a bit more “inspiration” than she should have. But I digress.

The cheese factor is high with this. I cringed a few times, and when the heroine gets in an accident early in the book and is soaked to the bone, chilled and unconscious, what method would you guess the hero uses to warm her up again? Yeah. You’ve arrived in Trope City, ladies and gentlemen. Honestly, this feels like a first attempt at a romance novel (and one by someone who’s not very well-read.)

And I’m just going to ignore the fact that a 20th/21st century heroine would likely have some difficulty communicating with a Scottish Highlander who speaks Middle English. But she doesn’t whatsoever. His accent doesn’t even create a difficulty. And if you’ve ever heard a Scotsman speak, let alone a Highlander from the 1400s, you know they’re tricky to understand. But we’re not going to talk about that.

Despite the slow start, the connection betw the H&H felt rushed. I just don’t get why they are together, even though the author keeps telling me why. There’s way more telling than showing here, which is a surefire way to bore the pants off readers. (Or me, at any rate.) Perhaps she should stick to developing story concepts and leave the writing to someone else. 2.5 stars.
