About this listen

Caught within the horror that has become his life, Lucius Benedict waits patiently for his savior to come, preferably an angel who can ease his heart and release him from his cursed existence. When the sudden appearance of a russet-haired beauty postpones his execution, Lucius can not quite believe his luck. However, he will not waste his freedom and makes plans to prove his estranged wife died by the hand of another.

Ella Jeffries is drawn into the pages of a mysterious book and transported back in time. The year is 1709, and the place is Aingealag Estate, tucked away in the thick haar of the Scottish Highlands. There, she rescues Lucius "Luke" Benedict, the laird of Aingealag, from the executioner's gibbet and falls under the spell of his dark gaze and sensual aura.

However, Luke hides secrets behind his handsome facade, and the more she loves him, the more she learns of the ancient curse that shadows the castle and all those who dare live within its walls.

Can Ella save the Benedict family, or will Aingealag's shadows swallow them all whole?

I really liked the bones of this story. After all, most romance readers would love the opportunity to have an encounter with their favourite book boyfriend. And that is pretty much the gist of this book. Ella, quite literally, falls headlong into a book and ends up in 1709 Scotland with Lucius. This romance has intrigue, magic, history and more. The idea of this story is really fun!

It is the execution of the story that is a little choppy. The book does get smoother as the story progresses and even includes a surprise twist. Overall, I did enjoy it and intend to follow up with further books in the series!

This book was given to me for free at my request and I provided this voluntary review.

A wonderful concept!
