What if answering a strange-looking ad in the newspaper made it so you traveled back in time to 1892?

Kimberly loves her work but hates her job. She is a nurse and enjoys helping people; however, her boss has it out for her and makes Kimberly's life miserable. While flipping through the classifieds, an old-fashioned mail-order bride ad catches her eye. She has no way of knowing how much this ad will change her life.

Victoria is a widow looking for ways to keep herself busy and help other people at the same time. She decided to start a mail-order bride business, but she also has a secret she needs to be careful to hide - she lives in 1892.

Patrick lives on a ranch and loves his life. The only problem is he lives too far from town to properly court a woman and is looking for a woman's love to help brighten his life. He enlists in Victoria’s help to find him a woman who will be compatible with his life. Little does he know, Victoria is thinking of sending someone from the future.

Can Kimberly and Patrick soon learn to accept each other's differences, and will it be enough to start a family of their own?

Well written and laid back.

I love time travel books. The story was well written, and well thought out. No unnecessary drama. My only complaint is the narrator. I felt like I was in a room having the story read to me instead of feeling like I was the story. Very monotone voice, I almost stopped listening after the beginning chapter.

Maybe a different narrator.

Overall, the book was interesting. It's not a book I listened to all the way through without a break. Finally, I just listened to hear the ending. Think I'll just pass up the second book if it should come out.

better than I expected

I like time travel and science fiction but I was not expecting much from this book. I was surprised at how much I liked the story. The narrator did a good job, I like the fact that she didn't go overboard with the male voices. I would recommend Touched by Time and will check out other stories by Zoe Matthews and Jade Jensen.

Nice Start to Series

Different twist to a time-travel story. I liked the characters and the plot is interesting with a hint of something sinister in future books. The main conflicts in this book were emotional ones.
A few issues I had: I would have liked to read an epilogue. And returning from their wedding night, they looked well rested - really?
In my opinion the narrator was only okay. I don’t think she added anything to the story and too often her voice was high-pitched and squeaky.

Narrator ruined the book

This was the worst narrator I've ever listened to. She made the main character sound like a whiny child and must not know how people in the United States speak English in 2005. Her voice was lifeless when not speaking in character. Absolutely ruined the story.
