Romance Time Travel

In 13th century Scotland, Connor has vowed never to marry after being betrayed by a woman he loved. The laird has decided to marry Connor's sister off to repay a huge debt. Connor is sworn to protect his sister until she finds her true love, but since he's in service to the king, he must marry first. Once married, his king will release him, and he will be allowed to stay home and care for his sister. Connor will do anything to save his sister from this arranged marriage.

In his search for a wife, fae magic sends Connor to present- day Denver and into the bedroom of Caitlyn Coryell. Cate also possesses the fae magic, but she's unaware of it. About to be married to a man who's betrayed her love, Cate leaps at the chance for an adventure back in time with the gorgeous warrior. But what Cate thought was going to be a quick day or two and a wedding, turns into weeks.

There are others who would prevent the marriage taking place and danger surrounds an innocent Cate. Connor has sworn to protect her and keep her from harm, even at the cost of his own life. Cate falls in love with the mighty warrior, but until he can admit to being in love with her, the fae magic keeps her stuck in time...and in danger.

With a nice mix of historical and contemporary, this time- travel romance is believable and both hero and heroine are strong. In Melissa Mayhue's debut, she's done a good job of mixing the times and building the relationship between the characters. She creates situations that bring the two together, even as the hero fights the relationship. The heroine is natural and behaves just as you would expect a modern-day woman thrown back into medieval Scotland to act. An enjoyable read.

SUMMARY

SCOTLAND, 1272. Connor MacKiernan, a descendant of the Fae Prince, is a warrior who lives only for honor and duty. Though he's vowed never to marry, that's exactly what he must do to save his sister. Enter a little Faerie magic, and the search for a bride is on.

DENVER, 2007. Caitlyn Coryell is having a really bad day -- she just discovered her fiancé with another woman! Imagine her surprise when she puts on some sexy lingerie and an antique pendant and Connor appears in her bedroom, begging for her help. He offers a simple yet outrageous adventure: travel to his time, marry him, and return home.

But nothing's simple when Cate is trapped in the thirteenth century. The wedding's delayed, someone's trying to kill her, and in the middle of all this, she realizes she's falling in love with a man who can only be her husband for thirty nights.
