In London, in 1945, Dr. Jonathan Brandon who is a flight
surgeon for the RAF, disappears without a trace, leaving
behind his fiancee Catherine. This is not a straight
forward
case, as it is claimed by witnesses that he simply faded
before their eyes.
It is now 2014 and Anne Howard has come to London to visit
with her grandmother, Catherine. A history teacher, Anne
loves
mysteries from the past, and when she finds old love
letters
from her grandmother's first love, Jonathan, she is
fascinated
by his disappearance. Even if she doesn't believe that he
somehow disappeared into the past. But when her
grandmother
shows her a message that Jonathan has written in a book
from
1560, and Anne begins to experience strange scenes from
the
past herself, Catherine tries to prepare her for the
possibility that Anne may well be transported back in
time.
When Anne is thrust back into Elizabethan England, she is
attacked, kidnapped and makes a powerful enemy of the Duke
of
Norfolk. Finding Jonathan, he offers her the only
protection
he can by marrying her, but Norfolk is hell bent on
capturing
Anne. As Anne adjusts to her strange situation, she makes
many
friends along the way, including the Queen herself, but
none
are as important as her husband, Jonathan, whom Anne has
fallen deeply in love with. As they explore their feelings
for
each other, Norfolk hatches a devious plan of murder and
treason, and frames Jonathan for the deed. When an
opportunity
arises for Anne to return to the present, will she be able
to
leave behind Jonathan, so that she can protect herself and
her
unborn child? Or if she stays to be with the man she
loves,
will they be able to escape the penalty for treason -
death?
THE THORNLESS ROSE by Morgan O'Neill is an enjoyable
historical romance that flows easily from beginning to
end. I
am normally sceptical of time travel novels, but this
story is
so much more. Rich in detail, I found myself immersed in
the
1500s and the historical characters that resided there.
Anne
and Jonathan's relationship was beautiful and endearing
and I
desperately wanted them to find a way to be together.
THE
THORNLESS ROSE by Morgan O'Neill is a wonderfully
descriptive
tale of life in Elizabethan England, full of love, danger
and
intrigue, to grip your imagination.
No one ever knew what really happened to Dr. Jonathan
Brandon back in 1945. He simply disappeared from a London
pub, leaving behind an unsolved mystery and his fiancée—
Anne Howard’s grandmother. Seventy years later, Anne
herself is haunted by the strange tale, along with
inexplicable hallucinations straight out of Elizabethan
England. Including a scarred, handsome man whose deep
blue eyes seem to touch her very soul….
Anne wonders if there isn’t something more to the story.
Is it even possible that Jonathan disappeared into
England’s dark past? And why does Anne keep hearing him
whisper her name? Because now she too feels the
inexorable pull of the past, not to mention an undeniable
attraction for a man she doesn’t even know.
It’s just a matter of time before Anne will step back
into history, and face a destiny?and a love?beyond
imagining…
