I had been having a bad few days: washer quit, faucet leaking, and a sick cat. I decided to read for a while and try to regain my sanity. All I can say is "Thank you,Paula Brackston" This book hooked me from the very beginning. you. However, if you like strong heroines, flawed but gorgeous heroes, and witty dialogue....this is it! Thank you Netgalley.

Xanthe and her Shop of Found Things returns in time for Christmas. She’s been able to keep her identity as a Spinner and her ability to travel through time a secret, but she knows she must take responsibility for mistakenly transporting the very dangerous Benedict Fairfax to her own time. Using the Spinner’s book, Xanthe finds herself back in Regency England, even as Benedict plans havoc in Xanthe’s real time. You must read the first two books in this series, or you will be hopelessly lost. I like this series, but it doesn’t measure up to Brackston’s Witch books
