What a well written time travel romance! Well drawn characters with depth and emotions. Creative take on sadism and masochism. I couldn't stop reading. I needed to know how the story ended. Victorian romance with a twist. Recommended especially if you like tortured heros.

Writing a story set in a historical period has one big pitfall : historical incorrectness. When I received this novel as an ARC to write a review about it that was what almost stopped me reading. I have the feeling the author mixed up the Edwardian era with the Victorian one. As far as I know London in 1880 had no electrical lighting nor telephones. Moreover the Duke is addressed in a fashion like in the Middle Ages. But I thought that the author needed a chance and it would be fair when I continued reading.

The thing is that the lovestory that develops is endearing. I have nothing with BDSM so that is a challenge in itself. But here we have a man who only learned that intimacy had to involve pain otherwise it would not arouse him and who regards himself as disfigured and a woman who needs a bit of fear. However it is made clear that hurt should never involve harm. So all what happens is a domineering man who might be rough or bites. But due to the bond they start to share mentally that is not even a prerequisite later on. I smiled when Willow remarked she could not understand 'Pride and Prejudice' and thought "Well it is a matter of what you fancy it seems".

This is again a timetravel romance. An American woman does research in London in the present day and is transported to the late 19th century. More or less right into the arms of the disgraced Duke of Warrick who takes her home. Hiding in his abandoned townhouse they get to know each other better. That part I liked best.

The book is part of a series and that might be the reason why his family history and what happened in India is not that well explained.

My first book by this author. It was aNengaging read however, I wish I had read previous books in this series. The time travel is definitely fantasyland but it is a well written story and worth the read.

I was provided with a free copy of this story by NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

This was my first Lord's of Time book, so I kind of came into the story in the middle. I will definitely be reading the rest! I enjoyed how Willow's love and acceptance of Madoc helped him to be a better man. This book was completely different from what I usually read but I am glad that I did.

At first I though, nah, I'll never finish this...not for me. But then, I was hooked. Madoc became a truly wonderful hero. Willow became the loving woman who could save him. I had not read any of this series (tho now I will), but I just loved this story. Stayed up to 2:20 am to finish it! I really think you'll love this story of a man's salvation.

Willow is researching a birch mistress for an exhibit about the Victorian Underground in 2018 when she faints inside a club with a drag show. She finds herself in Victorian London where Madoc, The Duke of Warrick finds her. Willow wakes up and has no idea where she is, how she got there and why is she wearing a corset? There is such an attraction, almost an electricity that draws them together. Madoc was kidnapped and tortured in India for many years. Due to his treatment, he has done some very bad things to his brother and cousin. The queen brings him back to England, under protest and tells him he must make amends to his family and take over his title. He is visited by his former betrothed who is now married to his brother, but he can see she is not the same woman. Madoc has another secret that he cannot hide, something that he shares with Willow. He likes to dominate his partner. When Willow and Madoc go to a ball, everyone is bowing and curtseying to her. It makes no sense until he is told that she is the long, lost granddaughter of the queen. Madoc and Willow have been intimate. How will Madoc and Willow explain how long she has been with him and not told the queen. He is arrested and she taken to the palace. What will happen as she feels she will die if they are not together? And there are other women like Willow who are with Madoc's brother and family. How can this time traveling be explained? I received this book from Net Galley and the Publisher for a honest review and no compensation otherwise.

Never heard of Jenn LeBlanc until i saw this book advertised.
Had look at the blurb and decided this was my type of book.

Really good book.
Literally could not put it down.
Will definitely read more by this author in the future

A light erotic read with the added bonus of time travel. Readers of Outlander who want a bit more spice to their reading will want to give LeBlanc a try. The other books in the series will appeal to others who like alternative lifestyles. Recommend to erotic historic romance readers.

Talk about hot and heavy. I LOVE THE ROMANCE IN THIS NOVEL! And did I mention the way the main characters fell in love? HIGHLY RECOMMEND! I've reread this book three times and each time I fall a little bit more in love with it. I NEED MORE!

Well this certainly was more than i signed up for.. The story was very confusing, I didn’t figure it out until in the last few chapters of the book that she apparently traveled in time.
There were so many little ‘what the..’ moments that I got so frustrated with this read that I wanted to throw my kindle to the wall.

The Sadist and the Stolen princess by Jenn LeBlanc is one of a Time Travel adventure. It is the first one in a series that I have read and I think I would have been better off reading them in order because I was a little confused at first but caught up quickly. The Sadist and the Stolen Princess is Madoc (Warrick) and Willows story, it is full of passion, and suspense. Willow finds herself in the Victorian Time and is just pretty much lost when she meets Madoc. I did really enjoy their story. I didn’t understand why everyone seemed to know about the time travel but never really explained why? Maybe that was in a previous book? . I did want Willow to be a stronger more independent character, but saying that if I had time traveled and was lost I probably wouldn’t be that strong or independent myself. It was an all around good story and I would recommend it and the other books in the series. I am voluntarily leaving my honest review after reading this arc.

I've never read a time travel/period romance before so I was a little apprehensive, but I was pleasantly surprised!
I do think that this doesn't work awfully well as a standalone, as I was quite confused as to what was going on until I read the synopses of the previous books, but otherwise I did enjoy it.
I may try some other books of a similar genre now.
Thanks.

Well now, Madoc just blurts things out, “effing, Willow. We’re talking about effing. I want to eff you, do you want me to?” This book was okay,I was honestly annoyed with Willow I wanted to see her be strong, but she came off as whiney and needy.

The story of Willow and Madoc is well written and very entertaining. Willow goes back in time and meets Madoc. He takes her home with him because she has no memory of who she is in this time or hoe she got there. They develop a bond and dependency on each other that develops into a sexual relationship. Willow’s true identity, in the current time is revealed, and it was a surprise. There is a happy ending but there is a note that the Epilogue will be in the next book, I don’t understand as to why this was not included in this book. Except for this, the book was a great read and I would highly recommend it.

Let me first start by saying that I haven't read any of the other books in this series. If I had, the time travel might have been clearer. I enjoyed the the idea of the plot, but the one thing that really bothered me was how everyone knew about it. It is a pretty fantastical notion that's not really explained in this book. They did ask the question about what happens to the person they take over, but its not answered. The main idea of someone going to the past from the future and knowing how certain events will play out isn't really dealt with in this story either. I feel like since the girl was an historian, she should have had a purpose to go back, other than have sex with a duke. It was enjoyable enough, so 3 stars. I couldn't find the book on Goodreads, so I couldn't write a review there.

I would love to time travel back to the Victorian period if it meant I would find someone who loved me as Warrick loved willow.

A title bestowed.A woman stolen.One chance for atonement.Madoc returns to London to take up the title of The Warrick by command of His Queen. Her Imperial Majesty gives him a single directive therein: to make amends with his family.He has no idea how he's to do it, but scaring the wits out of a woman and taking her home probably won't help in his quest. But He's drawn, inexplicably, to this tiny creature who refuses to leave his house, says ridiculous things, and has insane ideas. Every bit of her speaks to the darkest reaches of his soul.When I started reading I couldn't put it down.Jenn LeBlanc is magnifysent writer.I cannot wait to read more of there books.Keep up the great work.You should definitely read this book.

Set in the mid-1880’s, The Sadist and The Stolen Princess: Madoc: Atonement, is another stellar story in Ms LaBlanc’s Lords of Time Series. Followers of the series will know Madoc from previous books, and have eagerly awaited his return home after years being thought long-dead and buried. He is the rightful heir to the The Warrick Dukedom and has been commanded by his Queen to return to take up his title, and to make atonement to his family.
Willow finds herself in a time not her own, lost, bewildered, and under the care of a powerful and troubled man. Madoc has enough to contend with at this point in his life and, despite the immediate attraction between the two, is determined to see Willow on her way and out of his life.
The story concentrates heavily on the relationship between the two principal protagonists, both of whom are finding new depths of emotional and sexual satisfaction that only the one is able to give to the other. I was swallowed up in their joy in discovery , as they sought ways be together in a time completely unknown to Willow and a place changed so much that Madoc also found himself lost.
It is always a pleasure to visit again with all the members of this family, the cousins, the wives, and friends. My one disappointment is that, in this book, we did not see more of them.
I loved this book. Ms LeBlanc never fails to engage her readers' emotions and to always want more.

Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for providing me with an ARC.
