Publisher's summary

If Jane Austen had written a gay romance with a murder mystery and time travel, this book would be it.

Edward Ford Westcott has accepted a position in a clandestine program that seeks to find answers to history's greatest unknowns. He is sent back in time to 18th-century England to investigate a woman’s murder and falls in love with Ian Gallihugh, the devote nephew of the soon-to-be victim, but when he and his partner, Angelica Law, are thrown into the upper echelons of English society, they soon discover that things are not what they appear to be. Edward’s relationship with Ian is soon in jeopardy, along with all their lives. Discovering the truth will leave the two men cornered, and they will be forced to make a terrible choice if they are to save their love.

Ian and Edward

I liked it.I was taken aback at the first tryst our time traveler had.Too much, too soon.The whole premise just did not quite work for me. Trista Harter was a fine narrator.I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.'

Almost, but not quite there

Good storyline, with interesting characters, but needed more editing to keep from feeling as though it's a rushed draft. Could've done without the gratuitous sex scenes, as well as more emphasis on the danger of same-sex attraction two centuries ago.

Couldn't really buy into Edward's sudden shift from player to smitten monogomist. Didn't really get him as a physician either... medic, maybe? Ian seemed a bit too sheltered (naive), but he'd had a lifetime of psychological abuse. Rest of the characters were fine.

Audio narration a good fit for the story, although I cringed at a couple of mispronounciations.

What adventures may come?

I just finished this book and I don’t know when I have enjoyed a book this much. Ian and Edward blended together several of my favorite genre, m/m, fantasy with time travel and murder mystery/suspense. This story was beautifully crafted, original and exciting. The narration was excellent and brought the story to life. Thank you so much for gifting a code to me. Please tell me this story isn’t over, I want another book.💙💙🎧📚

Ian and Edward

This is an enjoyable story that combines sci fi with m/m romance. It's about love, loss, time travel and a murder mystery. Edward (Ford) and is partner Angelica travel back in time, to solve a murder. As they get immersed in the culture of the time, Edward didn't expect to meet Ian, the victim's nephew, and fall in love.
Narrator Trista Harter does a fabulous job.

Interesting Story, Fantastic Narration

I’ve listened to a large quantity of audiobooks and was very impressed with the narrator of this book. Her pronunciation, inflection and tone made the story come to life. The story itself was quite interesting and fun to listen to.

Time travel and romance go together like a horse and carriage.

I listen to audiobooks while I’m working. If I can keep doing my work without losing track of the story, I know it’s a good one.
Let me start with the narration. Trista Harter is superb. Her voice is both calming and concise at the same time. I would listen to her narrate the Yellow Pages.
On to the story. I honestly had no expectations going in. I had no idea what the book would be about. I was delighted.
For those who don’t know, and without spoilers, there is time travel, a proper British mystery and romance. The fact that the romance is LGBTQ+ friendly is a bonus for me. If that isn’t your cup of tea, go away.
Loved every minute of it and I’m hoping for a sequel.
Favorite line: Shut up, Ford!!!
