Publisher's summary

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.

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.
