This is a surprisingly addicting series. I wouldn't recommend these books to somebody looking for an intellectual read or an avid romance reader. (These books truly don't belong in the romance genra) The writing is imperfect and the plot flawed, but these books are very interesting, adventerou...
Footsteps in Time: A Time Travel Fantasy (The After Cilmeri Series Book 1) (Audio book Version) Written by: Sarah Woodbury and Narrated by: Laurel SchroederThis was a free audio book from the author, Ms Woodbury ask if I would review.Prior to reading this book I read Daughter of Time: A Time Trav...
Another dnf! I think this one is because I am lazy. Note to self, and all future authors. Make the names as weird and unpronounceable as you want, just make them different enough to be recognized easily. These were all Welsh/Gaelic looking names, half of which started with C and the other half...
Wait - a story without any actual time travel? The first two thirds was a bit of a nail-biter, trying to figure out WHO is behind all these sneak attacks, and where the next one will show up, and how they'll stop it...and then the climactic battle. David and his dad certainly are awfully lucky! ...
“How far do we have to walk to get to Mugdock Castle?” “Three miles,” Cassie said. “I can handle three miles,” Callum said. “My only injury is to my head, along with some bangs and bruises from the fight.” Cassie looked at him, skepticism written on her face. “You have a concussion.” “I’ve had on...
Finding himself with a dead princess on his hands, the killer wrapped Tegwen’s body in Wena’s deerskin and threw her over the wall,” Hywel said. “It’s what I’m thinking,” Gareth said. “It’s perfect. The wall should have been high enough such that it wasn’t possible to see over it. Nobody would ev...
It helped that the woman’s face appeared less like her own the more she looked at it. She could see why Father Alun had been stunned to find her at King Owain’s headquarters, however, and why Gareth had taken the name of the Lord in vain. “Now that you’ve seen her, do you still think she was murd...
Tonight, he woke with a start just as he blocked an opposing knight’s sword, which had been aimed at his head. It was a relief to wake, but as Hywel lay in bed, breathing quietly to himself in the dark, he realized that it hadn’t been his imminent demise that had woken him, but something else: a ...
They were more heavily burdened than before. Cassie and Anna each carried a backpack over her shoulder, and this time Cassie and Mom held the giant, bulging duffel bag between them. “How far to the coffee shop?” Anna said. “A few blocks,” Cassie said. “We have to go the long way around, though, b...
She understood too why the men felt that way and couldn’t add to their burden by knowingly putting herself in danger again. Staying behind at the monastery did mean that she could check in with Tangwen and Gwalchmai (who were still asleep) every so often. Above all, she was a mother, so she could...
Since she had no desire to be in the same room with the feckless Saxon ever again, she had willingly forgone the opportunity and departed for their quarters. Dinner was still a while off, and she could nap beforehand. Because nighttime was Cade’s purview, he tended to keep her up late. Whether be...
The kitchens had been prepared for failure, which meant that the celebration of Cadoc’s birth day would now be doubly fine. The scent of roasted meat wafted across the courtyard with every gust of the wind. Gwen could smell it, even from inside her father’s cell. “All of this is my own fault, Gwe...
Gwen lay in his arms but was having as much difficulty sleeping as he was. “What are you thinking?” he said. Gwen turned slightly and lifted her head so she could look at him, though her face was shadowed. He could make out little more than her shape in the dark because the only light in the tent...
We only had to go down another flight of steps, cross the great hall, and exit by the main stairs to get out of the keep, but Justin took us down another flight to the kitchen. “I feel like you’re a target, my lord,” he said to me by way of explanation. “I don’t know who’s waiting for us out ther...
In fact, the boy seemed to regret having opened his mouth in the first place and was now making up for his lapse by a studied muteness. Even so, five miles wasn’t far to travel on a fresh and rested horse—even mostly uphill, since Goginan lay at the base of the mountains and was the site of a sil...
Yes, King Owain and Ranulf, the Earl of Chester, were on good terms—or as good terms as a Welsh King and a Norman baron could be when each guarded their territory carefully—but Gareth would be pursuing a fugitive from Wales into England. Most rulers didn’t like that. In fact, English villains cou...
Goronwy said. Bridget knew her mouth had fallen open, but she couldn’t help it. One of her girlfriends back in Cardiff, before the time traveling, used to gape theatrically at any remotely surprising news. For a long while, Bridget had been convinced she did it on purpose, because it wasn’t possi...
Lili said something, but it was muffled in Ieuan’s cloak. “What?” He released her.“I’m fine now.” She took a step back. “Spending the night alone in this cave is not something I ever want to repeat, but I survived it. The only demons here were my own. At the moment, I’m just sorry about Geraint, ...
She knew about his past girlfriends, about his crush on one of his co-workers, Natasha, and the more nefarious workings of his former employer. Or seemingly, current employer. Callum had joined MI-5 after returning from the war in Afghanistan. It had seemed a natural progression for him to move f...
I had no money or friends, no resources other than my former husband’s diamond ring (the pawning of which might take some doing), and I hadn’t been able to track down my few possessions. The maidservant I questioned only shrugged and said they’d been disposed of. Great. The next evening at dinner...
