Cecelia Mecca

What a wonderful idea!I have seen it done before but was not expecting it. A trilogy written by three different Historical Romance authors. I read the first book not knowing this so when I went to buy these conditions book, I discovered it was written by Cecelia Mecca.

Three sisters were on vacation in Scotland when they jumped off enchanted Falls They surfaced in a different body of water. Caroline surfaced in a loch in Scotland in the year 1394. She was featured in the first book. Hannah, the oldest sister, woke up on a beach in England at Saxford Castle.

When Hannah realized she had gone back in time, she was frantic. She didn't know if her sisters had surfaced at Leannan Falls in Scotland in the future or if they had shared her fate. She just knew she had to return to the falls to try to get back to the future.

Tristan is the order of Saxford Castle. He thinks Hannah is beautiful but confused. He's willing to help her out but Leannan Falls is right near his enemy's lands.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I liked that Hannah was a modern woman who did not like the way men treated women in medieval times and the some of the hardships back then.

I hope the last book is written as well.… (más)

I'm not sure why this book couldn't keep my interest. The book was written well but something kept me lackadaisical. Maybe I have just been reading too many historical romances lately or maybe it was the that the characters were way too typical.

Sara is a countess who just lost her father to an illness. Being a woman in those times, she could not hold her lands by herself so her father had betrothed her to an older but good nobleman who was on his way to marry her. The immediate threat is a distant cousin who wants to claim her lands is on his way to either attack her castle or by other nefarious methods. Her father knew this so he had sent a message to his old friend and his nephew to come and protect his daughter.

Sara was everything you would expect from a female protagonist in a historical romance. She was beautiful, kind, hardworking and caring. Her father had indulged her so she did things that most women of the time wouldn't have dated like wearing pants and shooting a bow and arrow. She was just too perfect for me.

Geoffrey had lost his land and title when a Scottish clan took it over and killed his parents. Ever since, he and his uncle have lived as reivers to survive and they have gathered allies to take his land back. When his uncle received a message to go help out an old friend's daughter, Geoffrey is annoyed because it takes precious time away from his revenge plans but he goes anyway because he's a good nephew.

Geoffrey is the standard alpha male character who is good looking and can wield a sword better than all the other men. He isn't looking for love but is peculiarly attracted to Sara who he knows he can't have.

Don't get me wrong, this book was good. I am just becoming a historical romance snob. Perhaps I will enjoy the second book more.… (más)
