Greyson McCaim and his three brothers always thought their father was crazy with his claims that their mother didn't willingly leave them five years ago but that she was actually a time traveler snatched back to her original home in medieval Scotland. But when their brother Rhys disappears before their eyes, Grey and the others are forced to admit their father was right about everything.
The brothers keep trying the chant that sent their brother back in time in the hopes of being reunited with Rhys, but it only works for Greyson who finds himself woefully unprepared for medieval life and luckily dumped at the feet of an uncle he never knew existed. They set out together to find Grey's mother only to be sidetracked from their mission by an earl's daughter in desperate need of help.
Lady Marian's only worth to her father, a powerful English earl, is her use as a pawn and he's sent her off to marry the son of a powerful Scottish earl, one with a deplorable reputation. She's fearful for her future but also slightly excited at the prospect of adventure away from the only home she's ever known, though she gets much more than she wanted when her party is attacked by reivers and all her guards are killed. She is rescued by a strange Scot with a poor grasp of etiquette and an odd accent and yet he stirs feelings in her and makes her long to be free of her duty to her father.
When she learns the truth about Greyson, Marian sees the opportunities in a life with him and his love for her makes Grey a stronger man. But his family is at the center of a political quagmire already and they both know breaking a betrothal agreement between two earls with have dire consequences. No matter how strong their love is, Grey's knowledge of the future may be more hindrance than help in this situation.
I really enjoyed this fast-paced, escapist read. I'm happy to say that this one didn't stress me out like the first book and that left left me wanting to read it more while still being unable to put it down. These two were both strong, sensible characters and it was nice seeing them grow together. I can't wait for the next story in this series now.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
