"Another great time travel!"

Dee Davis' romantic suspense books are simply astounding. The same can be said of her paranormal time travels. Ever since I read her first time travel about Scotland (EVERYTHING IN IT'S TIME), I've hoped that she would write another Scottish time travel book. My wait is finally over!

This book is about Marjory Macpherson and Ewen Cameron. Ewen falls off a cliff in a landslide and dies or so everyone thinks. Marjory is relieved that Ewen has been killed in an accident but knows she will have to deal with Ewen's brother Allen and father Torcall soon enough.

Meanwhile Ewen 'wakes up' and finds out he has amnesia but he's different now. He's not the old Ewen. When Marjory confronts him she knows something's different but knows it won't last. The old Ewen will be back as soon as his memory comes back. Marjory finds that she could learn to love this new Ewen but is very reluctant because she knows what will happen if she gives him her heart and then he regains his memory.

Still Marjory has other worries, like what will Alan and Torcall Cameron will think and what will they do? She knows they won't be happy with this new Ewen. They will want the old one back.

Ewen is so confused. He knows something's wrong with the whole picture but until he gets his memory back he can't really do anything. What will he do when he figures out that not only is he not Ewen but he's not even from this century?

I was utterly fascinated by this whole story. The whole concept of time travel was handled so very intriguingly in this book that it made me not want to put the book down for any reason. I thoroughly enjoyed this story and eagerly look forward to the next one.

Summary

ROSE

Marjory Macpherson felt rebirth at hand. She'd known fifteen years of winter since her parents' brutal murder at the hands of the rival Cameron clan. But now Ewen—the enemy son she'd been forced to marry—was dead, perished in a rockslide. Marjory rejoiced. She could shed her thorns...at least, until her husband's father returned.

IS A ROSE

Yet, was her husband dead? When Marjory went to retrieve Ewen's body, she found instead a living breathing man, covered in blood, talking strangely but very much alive.

BY ANY OTHER NAME

Although he wore her husband's face and kilt, Marjory recognized salvation. Whether he was a kinder Ewen or another who, as he claimed, had been transplanted from the future, the man she'd found was the key, a strange twist of fate that reseeded Marjory's future. It was finally time for Crannag Mhóór to bloom again: a rebirth that brought with it the promise of true love.
