About this listen
Modern-day bounty hunter Bethany Bennett helps her brother track two fugitives to a forest outside of Houston, Texas. But what should have been a routine apprehension of two bail skippers spirals out of control and ends in violence. After Beth and her brother are both seriously injured, a mysterious figure suddenly looms over her. And, when the smoke clears, Beth finds herself not only in another place, but in another time.
As Lord Robert, Earl of Fosterly, attempts to identify and track down the nameless enemy who has been plaguing his lands and people with violence, the most peculiar woman stumbles into his path. Small, vulnerable, yet possessed of a bold, fiery spirit and wicked sense of humor, she persists in dubbing Robert and his men members of something called a medieval reenactment group - until she sees his castle and labels herself mad. It seems bounty hunter Bethany Bennett has come to him from the future, bringing with her laughter and chaos, swiftly winning the hearts of his people and inspiring within him a love he thought he would never experience again. But when Robert discovers a way for her to return to her time, will the love they share be enough to keep them together?

One of the funniest time travel I've read
This was a really funny time travel romance that really contrasted the main character's cultural differences. Compared to other time travel books the heroin comes with a whole ensemble of 21st century paraphernalia, which I really liked. The story flows nicely and all characters are believable. The world building is great and there are no inconsistencies in the story line. All in all a funny, light and entertaining story on a slow burn. The narration is superb with different intonations. Highly recommended.

No intention to finish…
I have read quite a bit of Duvall’s work and whilst she’s not a literary genius, she is a good storyteller. And that is usually good enough for me.
I was interested in this story because my first encounter with Duvall was her Immortal Guardian series so I was very pleased when I discovered what is ultimately a prequel of sorts.
The first of the two book in this series was good. This one, however, has been a struggle. I have about an hour left and I just can’t bring myself to do it.
I hated the female protagonist. I don’t know if it’s because I’m not American but I found her extremely weak minded and overly dramatic. In fact the overbearing American-ness of her character was very off putting, often bordering on offensive.
Additionally, I found it super odd that an American narrator was selected for this book despite it being set in England. So the general narration was all American accented and the ‘English’ accents were horribly inaccurate and regularly inconsistent. With only 1-2 American characters voiced whilst the rest are all English or overtly nondescript, this choice made zero sense to me.
I tried so hard to stick this out. But in the end the trauma was simply too much to bear.
