Against the Magic (Twickenham Time Travel Romance)

Against the Magic (Twickenham Time Travel Romance) by [Weaver, Donna K.]

This was a wonderful read! I loved the time travel element that sent modern day people back to 1850. Hilarity ensues.

The couple in question already have a past to work through and now they have to do it in the past amidst all the decorum restrictions and possibility of falling in love with someone from 1850.
The premise is clever, the writing fun, and the romance hits all the right notes.
I have the feeling this is the start of a series as five people traveled back to the past and the story only focused on two of them. In fact, at times, I wondered why the other three were mentioned at all as they hardly appeared in the story.
The characters are well developed, both main and secondary. Lots of fun twists. And the setting is sublime.
Sure wish Aunt Nellie's tonics/elixers were real. They would come in handy. Ah,well.
Love the cover. Part clock, part sunset, all romance.
Another great read by Ms. Weaver.

Reese Hamilton has big plans to help make the world a better place and a new job lined up to help her do it. Before starting work, she heads to England for a Regency immersive experience. She doesn’t expect her best friend to invite her heart-destroying brother to join them, and two years hasn't been long enough for Reese to forget him. Then fae magic rips them back to 1850. It’s a time when women have few rights. It’s also a time when a determined woman could make a difference, with the right man at her side. Reese finds she must make a choice between two men and two times.

Jem Taylor messed up big when he walked away from Reese to pursue his dream job. He hasn’t been able to forget her and jumps at his sister’s invitation. Suddenly hurtled into Victorian England, he has the chance to woo Reese again. But to do it, he’ll have to fight the magic that brought her to that time—and an Earl with the means to keep her there.

  1. Cora's story and Kaitlyn's story both published the same day as Reese's. :D It mentioned it at the end of the book. ;)
