Lost in the Mist of Time [Paperback]

Karen Michelle Nutt (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: May 15, 2006

Aislinn Hennessy's love life was almost laughable, with a trail of disastrous relationships to show for it. She long ago gave up thinking a knight in shining armor was going to sweep her off her feet, but then she never expected to run him off the road either. Sir Dougray Fitzpatrick, Lord of Dunhaven already buried one wife and had no wish for another, but it was foreseen that he would go to the future to seek a vision, a crucial venture to secure his future born. Only he hadn't bargained on it being a woman that would insist on battling against him at every turn. Dougray finds that Aislinn is fearless in the face of an enemy, but shies away from what her heart holds true. Aislinn discovers that Dougray is honest and brave to a fault. He would die for her if necessary. They were thrown together by a twist of fate, a magical mist that sends them back to sixteenth century Ireland where conspiracies, feuds and unexpected violence are commonplace threats, but along the way, they discover a few surprises that neither one expects: a chance for love even when they're Lost in the Mist of Time.

This review is from: Lost in the Mist of Time (Paperback)

I wanted to love this book, I really did. I read the bio on the author who said she is a fan of Diana Gabaldon...so I thought we had something in common since the Outlander series are my all-time favorite books. I think because of this I expected a really good story.

The author is very talented and shows a lot of promise....she could be a great storyteller. But this book seemed to go on and on without anything really happening...except for the guy and girl always being at odds over something completely ridiculous. After about the fifth time I just didn't buy into it, and I couldn't wait to be finished with the darn thing (I paid $35 bucks for the book...I was determined to finish it!)

If this had been reduced to about 300 pages it might have been really good.

I will look for more books from this author, but next time I definitely won't pay full price!

This review is from: Lost in the Mist of Time (Paperback)

This is one of the best time travel books I have ever read. Aislinn, our heroine travels back in time to Ireland through a strange mist with a handsome stranger her family has taken in. She soon adapts to life in sixteenth century Ireland where she faces a tumultuous world that is full of intrigue and mystery.
The handsome stranger, Dougray Fitzpatrick, is everything a girl dreams about in a macho man. It doesn't take long for Dougray and Aislinn to butt heads but of course, they cannot fight their budding attraction to each other. Aislinn soon becomes known as Scathach, a legendary warrior woman and goddess known for her extraordinary fighting skills. Aislinn fits in perfectly with the clan and makes friends by helping others.With her oddly open ways,she soon has the loyalty of Dougray's clan except for a few with betrayal on their minds.
I won't ruin the rest by saying to much, but I found it hard to put this book down and was so sad when I got to the last page. I hope Ms. Nutt continues to write and a sequel would be most welcome by this reader.
The only fault I found in this book is that the editing wasn't the greatest and there were quite a few errors such as punctuation, misspelling and misuse of certain words but other than that I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to escape for awhile into a richly detailed fantasy.

5.0 out of 5 stars A MUST READ!, July 30, 2006

By 

Reader "G.S." (USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Lost in the Mist of Time (Paperback)

Aislinn Hennessy is a twentieth century woman with no luck with love; which is rather ironic because she writes romance stories. Dougray Fitzpatrick is a sixteenth Century lord whose wife was killed in an unfortunate accident and now has caused a feud between the clans.
An old woman perdicts that the two will be brought together through a magical mist, which Dougray believes to be ridiculous until it happens.
Aislinn must learn to adapt to 16th century Ireland with all its violence and petty fueds. To Dougray's dismay, Aislinn tends to find herself in trouble more times than not. He claims that he doesn't want another wife, but his heart says another. Aislinn wants to find true love, but she has a difficult time accepting it could be someone from another century. This writer takes you on a journey through time, making you laugh, cry, cheer that chivalry isn't dead, and that in the end love triumphs.
A Must Read!
