Paranormal Romance/Time-Travel
New England -
Revolutionary War
Believe it or
not, Kaitlyn McCann enjoys being holed up in the library for hours
upon hours. Doing research on a few of the women who aided in the
Revolutionary War for her doctoral thesis has kept shy Kaitlyn out
of the real world, which is how she prefers her life. The only woman
that has eluded Kaitlyn's research is Eileen O'Connor, sister to
Captain Gabriel O'Connor, who served under General Washington. Rumor
has it that Eileen dressed as a man and would gather key information
for her brother and the troops. There is one thing that puzzles
Kaitlyn, though, and that has to do with Gabriel's wife, a woman by
the name of Katie Macan whose father was also a professor of
history. Kaitlyn finds the similarities between her name and the
other woman a little too close for comfort, but perhaps she's been
researching too long.
As Kaitlyn is
leaving the library, a strange and dense fog takes over the small
town, and when she manages to find her way out of it, the people
Kaitlyn sees are all dressed strange. It seems the fog was more than
it appeared to be, and Kaitlyn has been swept back to the time she
is studying about...and falls into the arms of the dashing Captain
O'Connor. What a girl will do for research.
Despite the
strange woman's odd looks and behavior, Gabriel can't help but feel
a strong attraction towards Katie Macan. And though he's just met
her, he feels she is the perfect person to keep an eye out for his
headstrong sister Eileen. But the more Gabriel spends time with
Katie, the more he wants her, and the middle of a war is no place
for their romance.
Although a
predictable romance, ONLY YOU is still an enjoyable read. From the
very first page, readers know that Kaitlyn and Katie are one in the
same, and it would have been better if that had been a nice surprise
revealed later on in the book. Still, the characters of Kaitlyn and
Gabriel are likable as both struggle against the reality of
their situations. For a woman who has just been sent back in time,
Kaitlyn takes everything in relative stride. And though Gabriel has
seen and lost much during the war, he is not a hardened man, which
was a nice change. Their lust for one another is a gradual build,
but not less scorching when they finally consummate their
relationship. Secondary characters, such as Gabriel's sister Eileen,
all have their own journeys to go through, which adds depth to the
story.
A well-written
and entertaining time-travel, check out ONLY YOU by Laura Glenn.
