Resumen del Editor

Can one magical night of glamour in the past save their future?

When Fiona Robinson imagined her life with Tyler, she dreamed of a grand adventure. Together. But after a decade of marriage, suburban seclusion, and stress from his job, she’s let the strain of being a stay-at-home mom of two toddlers squeeze all the fun out of their relationship.

With pressure mounting at work and his homelife growing stale, Tyler’s fighting to recapture the joy in his marriage. But he can’t seem to do anything right, his job has drained his energy, and his wife no longer resembles the fun-loving girl he married.

Then, Fiona’s mother presents them with an anniversary weekend getaway at a seaside B&B, and they hope it can rekindle their romance. But they never could have imagined their room would transport them to the Gilded Age in New York! Now, can one night at the famed Vanderbilt ball reignite their spark, or will they be stuck in a future neither of them expected?

The Back Inn Time series books are fun, faith-filled stories of what it might be like to suddenly experience life in a different time. These clean historical romances are packed with humor and adventure. Perfect for fans of dual timeline or time-slip stories and Christian historical romance, these books answer the question every historical fiction fan wonders—what would it be like if I went back to that time? If you enjoy the wholesomeness of Amish, Western, or frontier fiction and adore romantic comedies, then a visit to a seaside Victorian inn where you can “step back inn time and leave your troubles behind!” is for you.

Travel back in time to appreciate present gifts

This book is wonderful. As in the rest of this series, Stephenia H McGee spins a wonderful tale of time travel. In each book the travelers dream of a different life only to realize that what they want and what they need is right in front of them, in the present, the whole time. This story of a busy toddler mom and overworked dad proves that the grass is not always greener on the other side. It opens our eyes to the fact that God does not make mistakes and it is up to us to follow the path He has laid out for us.

Loved the ebook and audiobook

I read this book plus listened to the audiobook. I really enjoyed how the narrator brought it to life even more.
A wonderful time travel adventure that is fun but meaningful. I loved Fiona and Tyler. They were so sweet. I think every couple can relate to this story if you’ve been married very long. We all get so busy with life that sometimes we forget our relationships. Transported to New York in the year 1883 to a grand ball, and to the Vanderbilt’s no less. I loved how they tried slipping into house and the troubles they were having. In the midst of all the adventures they talked things over about their marriage. Realizing how much it needed working on they did their best to get in tune with each other again.
If you like historical romance I think you would enjoy this one full of inspiration and hope.
I received an ebook and the audiobook from the author but was not required to write a positive review. All opinions are my own.

Another great back inn time book!

I loved this book! Great book for anyone who's been married over 5 years! Fantastic it was very true to life for married people I loved how it showed both sides and that they both realized the things that they needed to fix to get back to the relationship they once had. I was also happy to see that they realized that God needed to be back in the center of their marriage and family. And she was great at portraying the time period the good and the bad.


I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book which I received from the author. All views expressed are only my honest opinion.

Great Christian Time Travel Romance

I really enjoyed this book! I've read the other books in this series, but they are all stand-alone books. I liked the storyline as well as the insight the characters received about their situation and how they planned on improving it.

Loved it!

Este libro apenas salió el mes pasado y ya lo estoy “leyendo” por segunda vez. Esta vez aproveché la oportunidad de escuchar el audiolibro. La voz me encanta. Con esta serie conocí a Stephenia McGee y ya no he vuelto atrás, he leído casi todos sus libros.
Este libro es muy personal con un matrimonio que está por celebrar su aniversario pero terminan viajando al pasado. ¡Que aventura!

This book released last month and I’m already “reading it” for the second time. This time I took the opportunity to listen to the audiobook.
I found Stephenia McGee through this series and I haven’t looked back, I have read almost all her books.
This book is personal with a married couple that are about to celebrate their anniversary but end up traveling in time. What an adventure!

Cute Historical Time Travel Adventure

I enjoyed this short adventure, definitely was waiting to see how it'd turn out because though there were sweet moments and some funny ones, there were also some anxious ones. I found this story in the Back Inn Time series the most relatable so far. Definitely felt for this couple. Also a little stronger Christian themes in this one as well as a getting a little more peeks into the mysterious Mrs. Easley. Fun story!

What an unexpected story!

I just finished listening to this book, and already have the rest of the series in my cart.

Fiona and Tyler are celebrating their 10th anniversary, but the spark-the connection-is gone. As one who's been married for 21 years, with job changes, deaths, births, adoptions, trauma, betrayal, and all the other "normal" life stressors, finding that spark again is something I can relate to. I got unexpectedly emotional several times during this story, and loved the way the couple reconnected.

Time travel is always a fun twist, and I enjoyed the way Stephenia incorporated that.

The narrator did a great job, and I thank Stephenia for this complimentary copy of the audiobook, with which she did not require a positive review.

Now, off to buy the rest of the series.
