"When I started reading this book, I expected it to be about the same as any other time travel romance, which I really enjoy, but . . . I have never read one with so much action. I was enthralled from the first page. I couldn't put it down and I anxiously await the release of the second book in this trilogy. On a scale of one to ten, this book is a twenty! Fascinating, absorbing, romantic, a wonderful read. I can't praise it highly enough."

Kristie Somers is happy in her life. She has a promising career ahead of her, grandparents who love her--and no time for a man. Or so she thought, until she was dropped in the year 1864 at the close of the Civil War. The handsome Colonel Eric Langston was a man to be hated. Her grandparents told her so. Her family has despised him for generations. He commanded the Union regiment that invaded her ancestral home; he was responsible for Whispering Willows being burned to the ground. Why, then, does her heart pound every time he enters a room? Why do his fiery kisses stir her like no man ever has before? And how can she just overlook the fact that she knows he is destined to die an alcoholic?
