Sunshine Phillips is living in a cottage in Scotland on the estate of her sister's husband.
While she had every intention of returning to Seattle once her sister gave birth - she fell in love with the Highlands, the heather and the rain, and decided this was the place for her.
Her ambition has now become to stay in Scotland, marry a nice man, have children and tend her herb garden.
Without warning her life is completely changed when she finds herself on the other side of a 'time gate' - right in the middle of the 14th century.
And our heroine Sunshine Phillips (Sunny to her friends) finds herself face to face with the Lard Cameron MacCameron (Cam to those who love him).
And thus begins the story of Cam and Sunny.
Ms.
Kurland had me at 'time gate'.
What I most enjoyed was the unique twist of this particular jaunt through time.
The hero and heroine do meet in the past - but most of the action takes place in the present, and without all the bother of each person trying to figure out how things work in their altered time states.
No wonders, or amazement about new technology, cell phones, or how airplanes work.
Instead, this is a mystery, a real who dunnit, and I didn't figure it out until the bitter end.
Love that! Ms.
Kurland knows how to pace the suspense and keep it moving so the reader wants to find out what the heck is going to happen next.
Most of the secondary characters are from other books in this series.
But with her quick pen, Lynn is able to create the essence of each character without boring readers who are familiar with the series.
The hero Cam is totally alpha, totally male, and totally someone you'd want to not only meet but be with - as in forever.
He's strong, sensitive, intelligent, rich and I could go on, but won't.
He's a man in every sense of the word.
The heroine is where I had some problems.
Sunny was way too wishy-washy for me.
She cried, and cried and cried.
Someone needed to give this girl a backbone.
It seemed so incongruous to me that she would find herself caught in the 14th century, survive and come back to the present day and weep herself silly.
It seemed as if she was in a constant heap through seven centuries.
This was my main problem with the book, a heroine with no spine.
