Description
Tamara Ledbetter, dumped by her arrogant husband, travels to Cornwall, England, to research her ancestors. A trip first planned with her soon-to-be ex. While in a neglected cemetery, she scrapes two fallen headstones together to read what's beneath, faints, and awakes in 1789. Certain she's caught in a reenactment, she fast discovers she's in the year of the French Revolution, grain riots in England, miners out of work, and she's mistrusted by the young farmer, Colum Polwhele, who's come to her aid. Can a sassy San Francisco gal survive in this primitive time where women have few rights? Could she fall for Colum, a man active in underhanded dealings that involve stolen grain, or will she struggle to return to her own time before danger stalks them both?

Fast paced, time travel story, I found that that the author kept in consideration the history of the time period and was true to the time. As a history lover, I found that appealing.
If you want a fast paced, beach read, I recommend this book.

This is a refreshing time travel romance between Tamara and Colum. Tamara whose husband leaves her goes back in time while studying her family ancestry. This is where she meets Colum who is neither a Lord or Duke like most men in time travel romance. Towards the end of the book a new character is introduced who is also a time traveler. Could there be a sequel?

Tamara's husband drops a big bomb on her one night letting her know that he has been cheating on her and that he is also leaving her that night too and that he wants a divorce. She expects to be more devastated but deep in her heart she knows that her marriage had been falling apart for a while, even though it does hurt knowing that the bastard was cheating on her. She had planned a big trip on Cornwall, England with her husband before all this happened because she wanted to research her ancestors. She to take the trip anyway, by herself.
While she is there, she ends up at a neglected cemetery, she scrapes the old headstones to read them but ends up fainting and when she wakes up ends up in 1789. She finds herself in the year of the French Revolution, grain riots in England, miners out of work and somehow mistrusted by a young farmer, Colum Polwhele, who's come to her aid.
From here, she finds herself in trouble more than she likes, always having Colum helping her, and at the same time having herself helping Colum when he ends up in trouble in that time era.
The story line felt a little like Outlander, but too fast paced at times, missing pieces at other times. There were some interesting characters, like Colum's aunt, she ended up being my favorite character, believe it or not. Tamara, felt like she was missing something, I'm not sure what, I liked here at some chapters and then not some much at others. I couldn't connect with Colum, he was just there.
Overall, it was a cute and quick story, I enjoyed the story more towards the end so I ended up giving it a 3 out 5 stars.
