“Want to be in a movie?”

Not particularly. I might be the only person in Scotland that’s not fussed, one way or the other. But my friend, Lily, loves the idea. That’s how I wound up on the set, cast as an extra in a low budget movie set in a castle. I’m a freshly-trained history teacher about to begin my new career. History’s my passion and soon I’ll get to teach it all day long. There are so many other, more important things I should be doing right now, rather than standing in line waiting for a costume, then waiting for hair, then waiting for makeup.

When I agreed to this, to be part of the crowd scene, Lily was thrilled and promised me a special time. She delivered on that promise-rather too well. Sure, I love history, but that doesn’t mean I’m prepared to be thrust back in time, into our dark past. That’s what happens to me though. I suddenly find myself living the humble and horribly dangerous life of a Scottish lass in 1263. I was not ready for this. I’m a modern woman who likes modern things. I love the idea that there’s a doctor around the corner waiting to cure me. If I had to choose a place and time in history to stop for a while, it wouldn’t be medieval Scotland. That's the end of the Viking era. It’s a tumultuous time in history when the Vikings still own small bits of Scotland, and are determined to hold on, no matter the cost. The Scots are equally as stubborn.

Nevertheless, this is where I end up, forced to deal with lawlessness, disease, lack of education, and an entirely foreign sort of man. In these wayward times, men are not like they are in my own century. Here, they’re wilder and a whole lot more frightening.

I need to find my way home before something really bad happens to me. I’m not blending in well in the past. Laird Bern is curious and itching to know more. He plans to keep me indefinitely, I think. But that’s not happening because I’m determined to get home again, back to my own time, to the place I belong.

Someone else has noticed me too—Storr, the Viking leader. It’s bad enough to be caught between warring Vikings and Scotsmen, but somehow I also find myself trapped in a tug of love. Do I want an ambitious Viking leader or a rugged, Scottish laird, one that is hellbent on getting his own way?

What I want is to go home.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

All of Elizabeth's romances are stand-alone stories. They can be read in any order.

Elizabeth spent her first life in New Zealand but now calls Australia home. She lives in a beautiful rural village a few hours from Sydney. She shares her 4 acres with rabbits, wombats, kookaburras, kangaroos and a delightful but demanding dog called Maisie.

Elizabeth has always wanted to be a writer but tried everything else first. In the past she's been a teacher, a ship's cook, a ticket seller and an advertising person paid to spend other people's money. She likes being a writer best.

These days she's drawn to that early medieval period when powerful lairds ruled castles and young lassies needed to be strong, sassy and resourceful to survive.

Great read with a touch of history!
This story does not disappoint!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 27, 2020

Even though there were a few editing issues (3 - 4 typos, a homonym error using bare, when bear should have been used - why am I remembering this? - etc.), they didn't distract from the story.
I loved the author's attention to historical detail, and she didn't shove it down the reader's throat, which was nice.
What was wierd was that there were almost NO physical descriptions of the characters at all. Caitlin is described as being beautiful, with long hair. That's it. Bern is a huge muscular guy with dark blue eyes. The Viking Storr is tall with long blond hair. That's it. I had a difficult time picturing any of the characters in my head!

The H/h were likeable, and I didn't want to kill them off. In the case of the heroine - Caitlin - I really liked her, as she used common sense to navigate the new world she was thrust into; there were no overdone theatrics, which seems to be common for female characters in many romances - especially time-traveling ones.
The H - Bern - was a treat, and when Storr came into the picture, there was a twist that I didn't see coming.

The book's ending was rather abrupt, which was jarring.
For a freebie, this was actually a fun, entertaining read, overall! It gets a weak 3-stars from me.

I quite liked this book. It's complete, NOT a cliffhanger! Yay!!!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 6, 2020

Action? Yes, it definitely has that. Romance? Yep, has that too without all the 'Do I want this guy, or that guy?' Sex? Yes, it has that but it's not overly descriptive and it's pretty short. If I didn't have lots of other books to read, I'd probably buy the next one. Thanks for an excellent book! It's one of the few that I've read that deals with the health and sanitation problems when it comes to time travel.

Fantastic!

I shed a few tears! The emotion was high as Caitlin dealt with her guilt! The love was sweet and deep! I would've given it 5 stars, but for several (more than 5) misspellings or wrong word. Example: bought instead of brought.

Time slipping into 13th century Scotland is a shock for 21st century Caitlin. Learning how to live without modern technology, medicine or sanitation is difficult but for the first time Caitlin feels she has a meaningful life.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 16, 2020

Verified Purchase

A tumble in time was exactly what Caitlin got when she finds herself in 1263 Highlands of Scotland. In Viking attire she is accused of being the enemy. Her fantastic thirteenth century romance becomes the best adventure of her life. The storyline is interesting and the characters are will developed.

I enjoyed reading this 3. The characters and plot were interesting. The characters were a little unbelievable to me. Ofcourse time travel is unreal.

Really not worth your time.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on October 19, 2022

Verified Purchase

One of the most shallow and unsatisfying books I've read in years.
I ploughed my way through it and felt no pleasure at all. It wasn't possible to 'link' to the characters and the story line was just silly.
It's very rare that I leave a poor review - I'd rather leave a great review or no review at all. This book really has just one word to attach to it and it's 'insipid'.
I hope others will have a more enjoyable read, especially if it's free.
Sorry.

A typical time travel highland adventure. A pretty young girl travels back in time & meets a handsome laird and they fall in love. A few bumps in the road then happy ending

The language is 100% present-time, not from the 1260s

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on September 5, 2022

TRIGGER ALERT: Fear of rape for one, then the actuality of it for another.
-As far as I can tell, the book blurb is a bit misleading; Caitlin was never "trapped in a tug of love", between Bern and Storr - Bern had her heart and that was that.
-A few repetitions such as when "if King Alexander kept this up, soon my whole clan would be wiped out", twice by 39% and passing for "a know-all but if I kept quiet ...", at least twice by 47%.
-I'm a bit confused as to how a murder would disappear if you go back to your time, which is how Caitlin thought.
-Lots of action and adventure; it's fast-paced but doesn't go from present to future - still not sure if that's good or bad. Lots of interesting historical facts. The end is a bit hurried.
-There is no description of anyone apart from "lovely" "muscled", etc. Also, for a laird, Bern is seen as dumb and that's unforgettable; he is not, he just doesn't understand because Caitlin treats him as such and doesn't tell him everything. The language is 100% present-time, not from the 1260s.
-Editing: a few problems here and there but nothing to make you stop and correct everything. Someone/somewhere, kissed/kissing, Bern/Storr, etc.

Okay, but ...

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on November 4, 2022

Verified Purchase

The story was fairly good but Spell Check does not make a great editor. Bare instead of bear, passed instead of past, etc., etc. Mistakes abound throughout the book. Past and present tense mixed-up, words misplaced. They robbed me of the enjoyment the blurb promised!
