Book Reviews of Touched By Time (Zebra Regency Romance)Book Review: Good Read Summary: 4 Stars
Jane Leighton is a modern day woman, escaping a stalking ex-boyfriend by vacationing in Bath. She ends up staying at a quaint Bed and Breakfast at Chadwick Manor, a place formerly owned by a gentleman who disappeared tragically during Regency period England.
Ramsey Chadwick is a Regency gentleman, two-weeks away from his marriage to the most beautiful woman in Bath. However, he starts noticing two things: (1) his future wife is flirting quite freely with his best friend and (2) there is a ghost of a woman in his bedchamber. Jane and Ramsey first meet as ghosts to one another. They both try to investigate who each other is, however Ramsey has no success, as Jane's time does not exist. Jane, on the other hand, discovers more about Ramsey and starts to long to help him find his way.
One night, during Ramsey's ball for his fiance, Jane is brought into Regency England by a touch from Ramsey. Once there, Jane believes that she is to help Ramsey discovered who caused him to disappear and to help prevent it from happening again. At the same time, Jane tries to assist Ramsey in dealing with his fiance. There is a twist, though. Jane is only in Ramsey's time at night. Every dawn, she returns to her world.
TOUCHED BY TIME is a good, solid afternoon read. It is rather shorter than my normal books, but I was intriqued by the story. Ramsey and Jane do not fall "head over heels in love" immediately. They gradually learned to like and respect each other. Will they be able to save Ramsey? Will Ramsey marry his fiance? Is there a way for Jane to remain in Ramsey's time, if they do fall fully in love? Read to find out.
Summary of Touched By Time (Zebra Regency Romance)Ramsay Chadwick has grown accustomed to the blurred ghosts that occasionally inhabit his bed. They're a minor inconvenience compared to the fact that his beautiful fiancee is flirting with another man. But the latest "ghost" to visit his room, Miss Jane Leighton, is nothing like the others. For one thing, a single touch turns her into a flesh and blood woman - revealing substantially more flesh than would be deemed proper by the ladies of Bath. For another, this lovely, spirited creature stays in his world from dusk till dawn...and suddenly, Ramsay finds himself waiting eagerly for evening...Jane treated herself to a vacation in Bath to escape from relationships - not to play matchmaker for the most intriguing, handsome man she's ever seen. And did she happen to mention that he lived two hundred years ago, and they can only meet at night? It's a decided complication...but falling in love is proving all too easy - and letting him go will be impossible...
