Gideon has repeated often that there's no magic in Artane.
When Zachary Smith, modern architect and reluctant time-
traveler, discovers himself standing in Artane, circa 1258,
he decides the repetition has been carefully crafted.
Although often snared into helping various medieval spouses
of his family and friends become acclimated to the modern
world, Zachary never thought he would be thrust into
another century without preparation.
Mary de Piaget hasn't had much use for men outside of her
family, trusting to find reasons to be on emergency
babysitting runs or out with her horses whenever
prospective matches appear. The matches do not stay for
long, as none can meet her father's high standards or his
skill in the lists. Mary worries that no one else can feel
the evil emanating from Geoffrey of Styrr, the most
persistent of the suitors. After meeting Zachary Smith, who
is no smith, Mary wonders if she might have been hasty in
her sweeping judgment of the opposite sex.
Although part of a series, TILL THERE WAS YOU is an
excellent stand-alone book for those readers who want to
start the "beach reading" early. Frothy in its lightness,
TILL THERE WAS YOU still entices one with complex plotlines
and interesting character development. The damsel is in
distress, but she has strength, cunning, and a supportive
family on her side. The dashing knight or handsome prince
is not a knight or prince, but his modern ingenuity is gift
enough. TILL THERE WAS YOU is an excellent demonstration of
how romance can still be written with cleverness and humor.
Zachary Smith is finished with high-maintenance women,
impossible clients, and paranormal adventures. But when he
walks through a doorway into a different century— and
meets Mary de Piaget—he knows his life isn’t going to turn
out quite the way he planned.
