Faythe Reclaimed (Hanaford Park #3)

by Lisa Sanchez (Goodreads Author)

4.05 of 5 stars 4.05 · rating details · 43 ratings · 14 reviews

Running through a strange forest with a bloodthirsty demon hot on her heels wasn't Taylor's idea of a rockin' evening. Then again, neither was soaring backward through time and space. Time travel chafed and left a rank, nasty aftertaste. So, when she finds herself floundering amidst a sea of Commandment-loving holy rollers who fling accusations of witchcraft and bedevilmen...more

My review:

I have read and enjoyed all books written by Lisa Sanchez and Faythe Reclaimed was no exception to that! It was well-written, the plot was interesting and characters hot and lovable!

Regarding the plot:

You meet both Taylor and Gabriel in the previous books in the Hanaford Park Series, but Faythe Reclaimed is book dedicated to their story. You can read it as stand alone, but then you would miss all the fun of the other books in the series!

Taylor finds herself in a foreign time and place...more

I have read countless theories on what really happened during the witch trials in Salem, but I must confess I quite enjoyed this spin. This book was shockingly delightful, considering the seriousness of the subject matter! Taylor has a dry wit but I found this book to be quite funny. I'm not sure if it was the irony of a this century woman going back during those times or not. I think I would have shared her view-point and opinion on the matter. This book was an all around great read. If your in...more

From Lilac Wolf and Stuff

This is the 3rd book in Lisa Sanchez' Hanaford Park Series, and I do wish I had read the first 2. Don't panic! You don't have to read the other books, I am sure they all stand alone as this one does. But it was SOOOO good. I'm not often a big fan of paranormal romance, but this plot and these characters all demanded my attention.

When Taylor was sent back, I felt scared with her. When Gabriel and Taylor (aka Faythe) first met, and the sparks flew, I was ecstatic. Their re...more

I found Faythe Reclaimed to be a pretty interesting and unique story. It starts in present time, but nearly all of the story takes place in 1692, Salem Witch Trial era. The author, Lisa Sanchez, also used actual people from that time period as characters. That added an extra sense of reality to the story. Also, Faythe Reclaimed is the 3rd book in the Hanaford Park series. I haven’t read the first two, but I didn’t get the feeling that I was lost at any point.

It starts in present time, but nearly all of the story takes place in 1692, Salem Witch Trial era. The author, Lisa Sanchez, also used actual people from that time period as characters. That added an extra sense of reality to the story. Also, Faythe Reclaimed is the 3rd book in the Hanaford Park series. I haven’t read the first two, but I didn’t get the feeling that I was lost at any point. However, reading reviews for book 2, I think it would be a bit helpful to read that one before book 3 to get a bit of history on Gabriel and Taylor.

This story is basically told from three points of view: Taylor (Faythe), Gabriel Present (Traveler), and Gabriel Past (Gabriel). There were a couple points where I got a bit confused between the two different Gabriels, but it didn’t take long to get back on track.

So Taylor gets yanked backwards to 1692, and is basically an amnesiac. She doesn’t know who she is, where she is, or how in the world she got there. But never fear, the powerful warlock Gabriel is hot on her heels, and determined to save her, no matter the cost. And the cost is great. The Moirai (the Fates) have commanded him to not interfere in anything that happens; the ripple effect throughout history could be disasterous. But what kind of hero would he be if he actually listened to them? Other Salem residents “figure out” that she must be Faythe Ellwood, who they had feared dead. Taylor doesn’t know who she is, but she knows deep down that she isn’t Faythe. But what can you do? She goes with it.

“Only fools wait for their injured opponents to rise.”

Something I really found fascinating with this story were the monsters. Demons. Whatever they were, they were big, bad, and ferocious. In my opinion they were real scene stealers. The author described them all perfectly, and they were terrifying. I definitely would think twice before going out on my own knowing those beasts were out there!

Faythe and Gabriel meet, and they just know they are meant to be together. Gabriel is a dreamy Latin warlock; powerful and strong, but with a giant heart. You can’t help but fall for him. He doesn’t live in town, he stays secluded in a cottage deep in the woods. Solitude will keep him safe, he knows there is evil about – and that fingers are being pointed at him.

All in all I really enjoyed this story. Like I said, I really loved the introduction of real life people into the story such as Tituba, Samuel Parris, Abigail Williams and Betty Parris to name a few. If you are a history buff, or are interested in the witch trials, I think this story will really speak to you. Then if you are into paranormal romance featuring sexy warlocks and damsels in distress, this story will entertain you also. I think it will appeal to a wide audience.(less)

Bewitching, Dark, Smexy!

If you're a fan of the Hanaford Park series by Lisa Sanchez, then Faythe Reclaimed is a MUST READ!!! Seriously! I'm so glad I read Pleasures Untold right before digging into this one, because I don't know if could have waited all these months to find out what happened to Gabriel and Taylor!

This sequel begins right where we last see these two at the end of Pleasures Untold. The story is written from both their POVs. I'm so glad it's done this way, since a lot goes on when Taylor is thrown back through time and lands smack dab in a forest outside Salem Village, Massachusetts in 1692, the time and place of the Salem witch trials. Gabriel, a Latin warlock, has no choice but to go back in time, too, but suffers the painful consequences of doing so.

Sanchez cleverly incorporates from Greek mythology the Moirai, or The Fates, who warn Gabriel that he cannot change Taylor's fate. He is also plagued by a harsh curse placed upon him by someone in his past. A curse designed to rip his soul mate away from him and put her through hell inevitably causing each of them great pain. Do you think either of these things keeps him from trying to save Taylor? No way! Gabriel is willing to accept whatever punishment The Fates have in store for him.

Taylor has her own set of problems, too. She can't remember who she is or where she came from...and wonders why everyone is wearing ugly Pilgrim outfits. She immediately observes that the villagers are quick to judge and accuse. So when they think she is an apprentice named Faythe Ellwood, she agrees with them just to stay on their good side, even though she senses that is not her true identity. “Faythe” meets and feels a familiar connection to a young Gabriel. The villagers are already wary of the presence of both Faythe and Gabriel, so when accusations of witchcraft and bedevilment start flying, all hell breaks loose! Did I mention that someone is conjuring up demons as well? They have to deal with them too!

Faythe Reclaimed is darker, has more angst from the previous books, and the demons are bigger and scarier! What captivated me the most was the perseverance and strength maintained by the two central characters. Gabriel and Taylor both go through immense physical and emotional pain and sacrifice a lot to be together. Sanchez doesn't hold back in this department at all. She really puts both characters through the ringer, their anguish raw and descriptive. Even with all that, the author is able to keep the wit and snark I've enjoyed throughout the series. Imagine Taylor cursing “beeyotch” in the 17th century...yeah that doesn't hold well for her at all! Sanchez also spikes up the heat level in this one. All I'll say is that a certain Latin warlock sure does like warm maple syrup! I'm going to giggle every time I pour that stuff on anything. Mmmm!

So does Gabriel's curse get broken? Does our hero and heroine make it back to the 21st century? Will Taylor ever get to wear skinny jeans again? Read it and find out! I laughed, cried, and bit my nails to their nubby ends! I'm excited for anyone who reads Faythe Reclaimed, because Sanchez has truly written a special treat for her readers. Well deserving of 5 stars and a nice place on my favorites shelf!(less)

Our story opens in the present, with “The Traveler” aka Gabriel engaged in a battle with long-time enemy, Lucian. In these few short moments, we learn that Gabriel recently discovered his true love, Taylor, and that Lucian is ripping her away from Gabriel by sending her back in time... to the days of the Salem Witch Trials, when a young Gabriel first meets Taylor aka Faythe.

Taylor wakes in a society where nothing is familiar, however her amnesia could be what’s making her talk weird and not recall from where she hailed. The only person who seems familiar to her is the sexy Latin warlock who saved her from a demon attack. As Taylor/Faythe struggles to find out the truth, she becomes the target of the denizens, who are, literally, on a witch hunt.

Confused? I was. The first few chapters of Faythe Reclaimed were difficult for me to follow. The reader is tossed into the action, which shifts and changes abruptly, and I had to glean what was happening. On top of that, the story is told in first person point-of-view (POV), from multiple characters. Although the character POV only changed with the start of a new chapter, and the character whose POV it was, was listed at the beginning of the chapter, it was difficult for my mind to make the shifts from one POV to another. And the final piece was that we were reading a POV from two different Gabriels... the present day man and the man from the past.

After adjusting to the shifting POVs and getting settled into 1600’s Salem, Massachusetts, the story was more enjoyable. Taylor/Faythe's relationship with young Gabriel was wonderful. I enjoyed their brief "getting to know you" phase. Their chemistry was smoking - and their sex scenes hot. I liked that Gabriel allowed Taylor in - but only after she forced the issue. He was a little too stubborn there for a while.

The mystery of who was responsible for plaguing the innocent citizens with evil creatures and dark magic was entertaining. Having read previous accounts of this period (The Crucible by Arthur Miller, for example), I enjoyed the different twists that Ms. Sanchez used in her version. I was guessing “whodunit” until the end.

Unfortunately, as much as I enjoyed the story, the changing first person POVs was distracting. Not only did I have to readjust my bearings each time, but I also had to deal with a new set of internal idiosyncrasies. Taylor/Faythe's vernacular was very modern and full of slang, which was annoying at times. Gabriel was constantly slipping in Spanish words, plus his self-doubt and verbal flagellation bogged me down. I felt like I spent too much time dealing with what was in the different character’s heads rather than focusing on the plot.

With that said, I did enjoy the overall story, and I was able to settle down in the book when I could read from the same POV for more than one chapter - the best POV for me being that of Taylor/Faythe. I enjoyed the twist and play of history. The author drew from history, using historical figures to create a new story. The last quarter or so of the book moved quickly, and I got wrapped up in the action. The final conclusion was a tad too easy, but still, a good ending.

Although Faythe Reclaimed is the third book in the Hanaford Park series, one does not need to have read the earlier books. The main characters did appear in the second book, but it has no impact on this story.(less)

I was a First Read Winner of this book, and it made for an interesting read. I did not read the previous 2 books so I was not familiar with the characters, I do believe this book can be read as a stand alone, but I was lost a little bit at the beginning not knowing how Taylor and Gabriel got into the situation they were in. I think it would definitely add to your enjoyment if you knew more about them from previous books. I have to admit it had a bit of a slow start for me but once I got into it...more

The first book was fabulous, the second a close lovely one, but this third just did NOT cut it.
I found myself skipping a big part because it just couldn't keep my attention.
I had big expectations,but they weren't met, a shame.
Luckely the first 2 books make up for the last one.

This one picks up where the last one ends. Taylor is sent back in time and Gabriel goes after her. He realizes she is his long lost love and must prevent her death during the Salem Witch Trials. Only the Fates won't let him change history. He has to rely on his "younger" self to try to prevent her death. This was a quick read and I really liked it.
