Book 59, 2015
Oct. 8th, 2015 06:46 pmOn my afternoon break at work, I finished reading Everything In Its Time by Dee Davis. It's from Jove's "Time Passages" line. I used to snap those books up as soon as I found them. Now, I couldn't even tell you if Jove still has a "Time Passages" line or not.
:D
The story follows modern-day Katherine St Clair, who experiences one night of passion with a stranger while on holiday in Scotland. In the morning, Katherine feels the entire experience was a dream, but she is missing one earring, and she has some (ahem) marks that could only have been made by a lover. In the fifteenth century, Iain MacKintosh is haunted by the memory of one night spent with a remarkable woman. All he has to remember her by is an earring...
After Katherine returns to the States, she continues to have dreams of her fantasy lover. Finally, years later, the dreams are becoming more vivid, and she is compelled to return to Scotland to solve the mystery of what really happened that night. Accompanying Katherine is her brother Jeff, who is eager for his sister to lay this madness to rest.
Of course, Katherine ends up returning to Iain, but this time, she is determined to stay where she feels she belongs. Iain has returned to Duncreag after years away, due to the death of his father. He is surprised to find Alasdair Davidson and his sister Ailis in residence, but he has no time for them when Katherine finally appears again. The two of them share an idyllic few weeks, but then Katherine is abducted, and Iain has no idea where to look for her.
( Major Spoilers and Mini Rant )
It was a good story, a compelling tale, and I was ready to give it a solid four out of five, but too many things aggravated me; therefore, it gets three out of five.
