The knight was supposed to be a man. Not me, Sophie MacKnight, a marketing associate from California. This must be a practical joke that the Scots play on visiting Americans. Because otherwise I’ve inherited a haunted castle in Scotland, along with one irritatingly sexy Scotsman, who would be delighted if I turned tail and ran. Frankly, I thought I would fly here, sell the heap of bricks, and head back home to a life that I…well, I was comfortable with at the very least. Instead, the people of Loren Brae are in trouble, and it appears that as the new owner of the castle.

So much for "if you like Gabaldon"

Publisher's summary
A Union soldier risks everything to save the life of Abraham Lincoln, while a Confederate surgeon races through time to preserve Lincoln's legacy.
Reenactor Dr. Charlotte Mallory has spent years perfecting the portrayal of her ancestor, Civil War Confederate surgeon Major Carlton Mallory. In the middle of the 150th anniversary reenactment of the Battle of Cedar Creek, she is hurled back in time and lands in the middle of the battle itself, and from there is catapulted into dangers that threaten her life and shatter her heart.
Charlotte is captured by Union soldiers during the battle and hauled before General Sheridan. The General only sees a Confederate surgeon who can solve a challenging problem for him, so he threatens Charlotte with the destruction of her 200-year-old ancestral home unless "he" agrees to rescue a Union spy from a Confederate hospital. To save her home and possibly her own life, she reluctantly agrees. After a harrowing journey to Chimborazo Hospital in Richmond, she finds her target, a handsome, green-eyed spy with a Minie ball in his gut and is now at death's door. Without a thought for long-term consequences, she returns with him to the future, where she has the technology to save his life.
While recovering from his gunshot wound in Charlotte's ancestral home, the spy, Major Michael Abraham "Braham" McCabe learns the man he works for, President Lincoln, was assassinated. Now Braham is determined to return to his century to prevent the assassination. When Charlotte refuses to help him, because it will change the future, he finds another way to get back to his own time.

One HUGE adventure...
This is a great book! This is book 2: the Sapphire Brooch. It is a story about time travel with politics, danger, loads of adventure, romance and history. A mystery box arrived one day and inside it was a brooch with some words inscribed. The brooch has the power to transfer the owner thru time. Back to the civil war days. What an adventure this brooch takes us on!
The author, Katherine Lowry Logan writes a fantastic book so full of details of the Civil War Days. The details are fantastic. On this adventure, we meet president Lincoln too. The narrator, Teri Schnaubelt delivers us a fantastic read full of multiple voices and accents. I really like Bram's voice and accent most. He is such a kind caring man. This book gave me the ability to close my eyes as I listened and I could imagine details as they were happening. The hard times they had back then. Lack of medicines and knowledge. This story touched me to the core! Listening about the fires as the town burns! It made my eyes tear up!
More than anything, I loved how long the book is! The author has given us so much more than our money's worth. What a fantastic job!

The Sapphire brooch
Which scene was your favorite?
This was a fully satisfying novel The intrigue, rescues, dangers and trial had me on the edge of my seat. Braham was tortured and Charlotte was overly stubborn. I thought for certain we weren't going to get a HEA.I hope there is another book in this series

What If You Could Change History?
Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
Yes and no. This book was longer than it needs to be. The pacing is rather slow, and some bits are repetitive--although many of those were summarizing events from the first book in the trilogy. If you're coming to this with no knowledge of Volume 1, then of course you wouldn't have my reaction. I love the concept here, but the author could have used a good editor to tighten up the story. The last "act" (focused on the heroine's brother) feels kind of tacked on, like this is two books stitched together rather than a cohesive whole.
What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?
I think Katherine Lowry Logan and I have been communicating through our dreams. When I was in eighth grade, I wrote a novella about a time traveller going back to try and stop Lincoln's assassination. I've also been to the Civil War Battle of Cedar Creek reenactment. I've been to the Willard Hotel...the eerie coincidences go on! So it felt like this novel was written just for me. The story is full of awesome ideas, and it was fun to see them play out.
However, I was underwhelmed by our modern heroine's reasons for wanting to let the Lincoln assassination happen. Her thinking is: If Lincoln had never been assassinated, he would be forgotten today. I'm a student of Civil War era/ Lincoln history, and I don't think that's true. He might not be QUITE so famous, but he did plenty worth remembering--and even if there weren't a Lincoln Monument, that's hardly a good reason to let a good man die. In fact, that good man might have done a great deal more for this country had he lived, such as designing a better Reconstruction. This possibility is never discussed. The old "butterfly effect" caution against altering past events would have worked for me, but "he wouldn't be immortal" struck me as a weak argument.
Would you listen to another book narrated by Teri Schnaubelt?
Yep! I remember I wasn't convinced by her Scottish accent in Volume 1 of this trilogy. This time around, I thought it was fine. Either I was wrong before, or Teri has improved her Scottish accent. I think it's the latter, so "Bravo, Teri!" Overall, she's easy to listen to.
If this book were a movie would you go see it?
Absolutely. Since not all the events would fit into a 2-hour movie, hopefully it would consist of the "best bits."

Potential
This story had a lot of potential!! In my opinion, the author did not make a connection between the lovers.. I don't even know at what point either character fell in love.. They both loved something or someone more,, for him it was President Lincoln, for her it was her brother or her career.. Close to the end of the trial, I could almost feel a spark and then , he moves on to a mistress and a significant other and she has a poster size picture of him, she kisses before she goes to bed.. I liked all of the characters, all the ingredients were there for a great story .. No spark !!

Historical Fiction at its best
I loved the historical detail this book followed along with creative imagination. There is just enough science fiction with the time travel. The characters are all well thought out and intriguing. The romance also keeps you on the edge of your seat. I have to admit a scene or two was a little raw for my taste but not enough for me to shut it off. If you enjoy romance, science fiction and historical romance this series is for you.

Epic Historical Romance set during Civil War
Any additional comments?
The Sapphire Brooch by Katherine Lowry Logan is an epic time travel historical romance set during the Civil War that is extremely satisfying. Katherine's writing style is similar to that of Dianna Gabaldon in the Outlander series, with well developed characters, a detailed plot, and a smoldering love story (much of which is behind "closed doors" without too many salacious details). As with the first book in the series, The Ruby Brooch, the characters are portrayed realistically with hopes, dreams, fears, and flaws.
The story centers around Dr. Charlotte Mallory who is a workaholic surgeon living and working in Virginia. On the rare occasion she ventures out of the hospital for fun, she enjoys participating in Civil War reenactments. It's during one of them - the 150th anniversary reenactment of the Battle of Cedar Creek - when she is hurled back in time to the battle itself. Soon afterwards she meets President Lincoln, who personally asks Charlotte to save one of his friends and most important spy, Major Braham McCabe, who was fatally injured a few days ago. Charlotte does anything a woman of the 21st Century with a magical time travel device would do - she takes him back with her and administers the best medicine and treatments available in 2015. Braham only has one thing on his mind - to go back and put an end to the Civil War and to save President Lincoln's life.
I listened to the Audible version of this book narrated by Teri Schnaubelt who did an excellent job. Her narration flows naturally, is easy to listen to, and each character has their own distinct voice. Teri's rendition substantially contributed to my enjoyment of the story. Simply put, this is one of the best books I've listened to all year!

Unputdownable...
Katherine created well-drawn, realistic characters; weaving a tantalising tale of believable time travel. Hard to predict was was going to happen next, making it difficult to stop listening. Cleverly written, and good narrating have made it a favourite in my collection.

Magic marked Miles Singer for suffering the day he was born, doomed either to be a slave to his family's interest or to be committed to a witches' asylum. He went to war to escape his destiny and came home a different man, but he couldn't leave his past behind. The war between Aeland and Laneer leaves men changed, strangers to their friends and family. Even after faking his own death and reinventing himself as a doctor at a cash-strapped veteran's hospital, Miles can't hide what he truly is.

Story
Aida Palmer performs a spirit medium show onstage at Chinatown's illustrious Gris-Gris speakeasy. However, her ability to summon (and expel) the dead is more than just an act. Winter Magnusson is a notorious bootlegger who's more comfortable with guns than ghosts. Unfortunately for him, he's the recent target of a malevolent hex that renders him a magnet for hauntings. After Aida's supernatural assistance is enlisted to banish the ghosts, her spirit-chilled aura heats up as the charming bootlegger casts a different sort of spell on her.
