With Every Breath

Title: With Every Breath
Author: Lynn Kurland
Series: MacLeod (Book 11)
Genre: Time Travel, Historical Romance


Sunshine, Madelyn's sister (Garden in the Rain) has been living in Scotland since her sister moved there, as the MacLeod witch. She wants a real reason to stay and is contemplating moving back to the states. Then one evening a man knocks on her door because he says he needs the MacLeod witch.

The man is Robert Francis Cameron mac Cameron, Cam for short. His brother is on his death bed and he risks it all to steal away with Sunshine. Little do either of them know, but Sunshine's doorstep has turned into a time gate. Sunshine jumps from present day to the 1300's (Cam's time) when she walks through her doorway.

Cam's life as Lord at his keep is not too fantastic. His cousin is trying to turn all of Cam's subjects against him and is suspected to have poisoned Cam's father and uncle. Once Sunshine arrives, he tries to drown her and mark her as a witch. Cam is able to save her and the two have a little medieval romance. They then go back through the time gate to be in the future together.

Unfortunately, they do not end up in the same year. Sunshine arrives and is devastated to find that Cam isn't with her. Imagine her surprise when she runs into him at Jamie's castle and he doesn't know who she is.

Lynn Kurland is fast being a favorite author of mine. Her stories are all different. Often I feel like an author finds a recipe and sticks to it a little to strictly. Same storyline, different characters. This is not the case here. They may all be centered around time travel - but they each go about it in a different way. As I've mentioned before, the books also seem to have so much substance and event to them.

One more to finish of the series before I start at the beginning.
