Summary:
Julia Beckett believes in destiny. When she moves into Greywethers, a beautiful sixteenth-century farmhouse, she suspects that more than coincidence has brought her there. The locals are warm and welcoming, especially the eligible squire of Crofton Hall, yet beneath the ordinariness, Julia senses a haunting sadness about her new home. Then she learns of Mariana, a beautiful young woman who lived there three hundred years ago. It seems history has been waiting for Julia.
Review:
This is a wonderful no bodice ripping romance novel, with a supernatural twist. The story begins when the main character, Julia, is a child. Her family is driving on a family vacation when their car breaks down randomly. When Julia looks over, she notices they are in front of this gorgeous house, she instantly falls in love with it. A number of years later, she comes upon the house again when her car breaks down, then when she is an adult, she is driving and she stops to avoid an animal and her car won’t start, she looks over and there is the house, her house. She goes over to investigate the house and finds out that it is for sale. She buys it and there begins her journey of discovery and romance.
Julia begins to have flashbacks where she actually goes back in time. She learns about who she was in a past life and this leads her back to her true love, reborn again in this lifetime. I do not want to give away the story at all. It was super good and a quick read. This book does not have any descriptive sex scenes, just one flashback where she is in bed with her lover after they have had sex.
I would highly recommend this book to romance lovers and paranormal romance lovers alike. It was a great lighthearted book that kept me on the edge of my seat; I didn’t want to put it down.
I received this book as an ARC. I do not get paid to review books; I do so in order to assist you in recognizing books that you might enjoy.
