A Time for Dreams
A Passion So Intense
it frightened her…
intrigued her…
consumed her…
and called to her from another time.
What would possess an intelligent, self-sufficient woman to step into a world of magic and mystery, a dangerous land of intrigue and suspicion, a time far removed from her own?
After years of uncertainty, Audrey Williams could no longer ignore the beckoning from the man in her recurring dream. Brenden Ross, heir to an earldom, is about to embark on an ill-fated crusade to rescue Mary, Queen of Scots, and somehow Audrey must stop him. Breaking free from the bonds of time, Audrey is plunged into the turbulent world of sixteenth-century Scotland where she will finally meet Brenden face-to-face. But once her eyes meet his, heir hearts are bound as one, and their lives—and history—will never be the same.

I couldn't get into the story.
It was boring.
Gave up at 80-somewhat pages.

When they were young they met in a dream. For sixteen more years they thought of each other until our heroine, Audrey Williams, went back in time. It is the medieval ages and times are somewhat dark. Audrey believed that she was meant to help our hero, Brendan Ross. Be aware that this is not a 'fluffy' romance.
Honestly, there was more substance to this plot then other time travel romances I have read recently. Unfortunately, Audrey kept waffling back and forth whether she should stay in the past or return to her own time. This left me feeling confused since the author stressed the importance of them knowing each other.
Our heroine felt as though Brendan was going to commit suicide like her first husband did. To me, he was just the big silent type who had a hard time sharing himself. He lived in the in the sixteenth century. There were few luxuries unless you had great wealth. People schemed and trust had to be earned. Perhaps because he treated her more realistically it gave the storyline a bit of an edge. I would have loved to give it a higher rating but I just didn't feel there was a true connection between the two.

If you like historical romances, that aren't of the really steamy variety, especially during this time period, you'll like this book. I found it nice to read a book like this for a change, it was very different from her MacDonell Brides Trilogy. This had more historical detail, intrigue and suspense to it, with a real plot, even though it ran off on tangents at times, which might have been more acceptable if the book were longer. In any event, I still liked it.
