The Hands of Time

The Hands of Time, Book 1

When a young woman vanishes without a trace from a quaint fishing village on the coast of England, only one person knows the truth, but he remains silent allowing the authorities to search for her in vain.

Meanwhile, Valerie Crane finds herself transported to the year 1605.

Terrified and confused, she turns for help to the Whitfield brothers, who take her in and offer her a home.

Both Alexander and Finlay Whitfield fall in love with the mysterious woman, who shows up on their doorstep, creating a love triangle that threatens to consume them all.

Valerie must make her choice, deciding between the brother who will lead her down the path of destruction, or one who will give her a love she couldn’t find in her own time.

Reader puts you to sleepy

Story line sounding intriguing but while on a road trip, instead of keeping us awake & the miles sweep but- we had to get bcuz it was putting both to sleep.

Will never know about the story & we love the author, Irina Shapiro. Too bad.

EXCELLENT

An impactful historical story of love, loss, tragedy & renewal. Heartbreaking but an enlightening demonstration of the human spirit of our ancestors.

What a wonderful story

It starts with heartbreak but as you listen you realize that her story, or life, was just beginning. Yes, it does have a time travel twist to it, you do become invested in the story.

I highly recommend this book to you if you are looking for a good suspense story.

Very interesting historical time travel novel.

I thought this was a great historical time travel novel. Obviously someone moves through time which was done in a very effective and interesting way. The story during the time travel was very interesting and kept me engaged and quickly turning the page. The historical points were right on point with the names changed.I like history and I like time travel so it really truly was a perfect mix for me. For romance fans, you will also love the romance and there’s a little bit of romantic steam in it as well. It had an ending leaving for a smooth continuation, and on that note I am heading over to that book, # 2 right now. I’m very pleased to have found this selection.
