Though she remarried in hopes of moving on, Faye has never been able to let go of her first husband, whose tragic and untimely death has continued to haunt her. She accepts a summer photography job in South Carolina, growing instantly fond of the small, coastal town, its charming residents and, in particular, the historic, abandoned lighthouse. Following a mishap in the water, Faye wakes in an unfamiliar bed and, to her alarm, discovers she's been transported back to 1921!

Though the style and setting, which I enjoyed, are reminiscent of Susanna Kearsley, some of the writing was a little less polished than I like and overdramatic and trite at times. I found it odd that Carrick never comments on her unusual speech or use of language, though surely it would be obvious that she's from another time or place. As a whole, for me the story was sufficiently interesting and engaging for a vacation read, but I may not seek this author out again. ( )

I have a tendency to stay away from romance books. However, I have a weakness for time travel books and I like both Kate Morton and Diana Gabaldon books so I just had to read this book.

Faye lost her husband four years earlier and quickly remarried with her husband best-friend, a marriage that, in the end, didn't work out. Now, she is recently divorced and has traveled to South Carolina to take photos for a calendar. There, to her surprise, she discovers a loophole to the past, to the 20s, and to a man that could be a copy of her dead husband. But, can she find happiness in the past? And, can she love a man that may look like her husband, but is a completely different man?

I quite enjoyed reading the book. It did, however, not really move me very much. It was interesting, but I never really connected all the way with the characters in such a way that I felt for them and the story was a bit too predictable without any surprising twist. I actually think I liked the priest the most in the book, but any man that looks like Gregory Peck is a winner for me. It was a nice little story, not a tearjerker, but a pleasant to read. And, if you like time travel romance then this book is for you!

I want to thank the publisher for providing me with a free copy through NetGalley for an honest review! ( )

Ahh, wasted a few hours on listening to this, but stopped half way when it still hadn't gone anywhere except into some alternative universe in the past which was too jarring for me. Despite a few good side characters, the first person narration heroine was boring. Hate being so harsh but ... Haven't read this author before and had high hopes. ( )

Nothing will stop true love

Very different story than Tiffany Reisz's other books but still a wonderful story of love. Beautifully written tale of love and travel through time. ( )

A love story that surpasses time itself. ( )
