Lady Juliana Kinthorpe is no longer the fanciful young woman who embraced the notions of romance and chivalry nurtured at Queen Eleanor's Court of Love. Wed to a desperately bitter man, she is forced to steal from the knight who betrayed her husband during the Holy Crusade. But even to save her sister, can she do the unthinkable? That which will cost her dignity, her heart, and perhaps her soul?
Lizanne Balmaine has spent years honing her skills at arms, determined she will never again be at the mercy of any man. When she comes face to face with the one who stole her future, she seizes the opportunity to exact revenge. Soon he is her prisoner, at her mercy. But something is different about him, something that makes her question her purpose. Is it possible a man can be so changed? More, can she right the wrong that could lay ruin to her family?
Twelfth century England: Two men vie for the throne: King Stephen the usurper and young Duke Henry the rightful heir. Amid civil and private wars, alliances are forged, loyalties are betrayed, families are divided, and marriages are made. For four years, Lady Annyn Bretanne has trained at arms with one end in mind - to avenge her brother's murder as God has not deemed it worthy to do. Disguised as a squire, she sets off to exact revenge on a man known only by his surname, Wulfrith.
England, 1333. The chink in Baron Boursier's armor is his fondness for a lovely face. When it costs him half his sight and brands him as one who abuses women, he vows to never again be "blinded" by beauty. Thus, given the choice between forfeiting his lands and wedding one of his enemies to end their feud, he chooses as his betrothed the lady said to be plain of face, rejecting the lady rumored to be most fair.
For two centuries, Aidan dún Scoti's kinsmen have guarded Scotland's greatest secret, the real Stone of Destiny. Now King David seeks an alliance with the mountain Scot. But only one woman will tempt him--the accursed beauty whose father once betrayed his clan... Cursed by Aidan's people for the sins of her father, Lleas MacLaren is the one woman Aidan believes he is immune to... she is also the one woman who may bring the fierce chieftain to his knees.
Annabel was about to take the veil to become a nun, when her mother suddenly arrived at the abbey to take her home... so that she can marry the Scottish laird who is betrothed to her runaway sister! She knows nothing about being a wife, and definitely nothing about the marriage bed. But from the moment Ross MacKay sets eyes on Annabel, he is taken with his shy, sweet bride... and the fact that she's blessed with lush curves only makes him utter his own prayers of thanks. But when an enemy endangers her life, he'll move the Highlands themselves to save her.

A time to live. A time to die. A time to dream.
Sleep disorders specialist Kennedy Plain has been diagnosed with a fatal brain tumor. When her research subject dies after trying to convince her he has achieved dream-induced time travel and her study is shelved, she enlists herself as a subject to complete her research.
But when she dreams herself into 14th-century England and falls into the hands of Fulke Wynland, a man history has condemned as a murderer, she must not only stay alive long enough to find a way to return to her own time, but prevent Fulke from murdering his young nephews. And yet, the more time she spends with the medieval warrior, the more difficult it is to believe he is capable of committing the heinous crime for which he has been reviled for 600 years.
Baron Fulke Wynland has been granted guardianship of his brother's heirs despite suspicions that he seeks to steal their inheritance. When the king sends a mysterious woman to care for the boys, Fulke is surprised by the lady's hostility toward him - and more surprised to learn she is to be his wife. But when his nephews are abducted, the two must overcome their mutual dislike to discover the boys' fate.
What Fulke never expects is to feel for this woman whose peculiar speech, behavior, and talk of dream travel could see her burned as a witch.
I really enjoyed this book. I have enjoyed all the books by Tamara Leigh. She is a gifted writer and Mary's narration is brilliant as always.
Enjoyed listening to the narrator tell this story , a born story teller. easy listening. Love time travel novel's. I am a great fan of the outlander series and have listened to lots of other time travel story's that just don't cut it for me , but I really enjoyed this book and I will be listening to more story's from Tamara Leigh and hopefully narrated by Mary Sarah Agliotta .
Not sure how I missed this one. It's been in my library for a while but never listened to it. Wow, I'm glad I found it.
Tamara Leigh has a gift of writing stories that come alive. Vivid characters and situations seem to paint pictures in your mind that seem real. Mary Sarah Agliotta has such a unique voice that adds dimension to the story. A duo that is difficult to duplicate.
This book has time travel, medieval adventures, touching moments and a clean romance. It's definitely worth the listen. 🌼

What did you like best about this story?
I like the way dreams take Kennedy into the past. This is a well written story.
The way Mac dies in our time and ends up in the past. I love Kennedy's mom - what a wonderful person. I like the way each time Kennedy leaves the past she changes history.
I cried so hard at the end. It was a real tear jerker with a happy ending. I have listened to this story more than once.....I cry like a baby each time at the end. Kennedy's mom is awesome.
Have you listened to any of Mary Sarah Agliotta’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
I love the way Mary portrays Kennedy's mom. The rest of the characters have great accents. Nice job!

after reading the description this sounded a lot like a Knight in Shining Armor by June Devereaux which my grandmother and myself LOVE! So I thought I'd give this a try and it's like a Knight in Shining Armor meets the movie Timeline, absolutely wonderful! I love it! now I'm going to force my grandmother to read or listen to it. if you like the book or movie I mentioned above you'll like this!

I love fantasy and romance but it took me a little while to get into this story however, once I did I was totally hooked....
Hooked on the well-written, imaginative and original plot that seamlessly transports you backwards and forwards between the 21st and 14th Centuries with ease. Hooked at the fast-paced action and dialogue which held witty gems and funny scenes. Hooked at the emotions it brought out in me as a dying Nedy is given another chance at life in the arms of her Knight in the ever changing past. Hooked with Fulke, a Hero that wasn't handsome or perfect but rather he was a Knight that was scarred both inside and out but he was honourable, morally good, loyal, loving and he had character which made him just perfect.
And finally, I was hooked with the romance that slowly developed between two people that started off as enemies but eventually, through many disasters, grew into one of trust and a deep love and respect for each other that encompassed 600 years. One that led to an Epilogue that perfectly concluded their love story and ended a book that was packed full of questions, dilemmas, twists, action, heartbreak, tension, great characters, a mysterious villain, tragedy and a bitter-sweet romance.
Worth a credit? It played out in my mind like a film and what a great film it would be.... so YES it's creditworthy. Narration was good. There was touching, tender scenes with kissing but absolutely no sex.

I have read (and listened) to almost all of Tamara Leigh's books. This is my favorite. The story is so touching it will make you cry... as long as you don't get caught up in the scientific possibility of time travel. Wonderful narration as well. Love, love, love it!

This won't be for everyone but I really enjoyed the characters and plot! I looked forward to my time each day to travel back in time - I truly could see and smell the scenes because of the beautiful descriptions. It was a sweet escape!

Loved the entire story line and the changes in history as the story progressed. The ending was a surprise and brought to a close so creatively. Would highly recommend.
Fun clean story. I do wish the main character would have bought a clue earlier, but that is minor. Narrator voice is great! There were a few small sounds here and there that were a little distracting, but not too bad. But her voice was really really good for this book.
