About this listen

Kayla Sinclair knows she's in trouble when she almost bankrupts herself to buy a portrait of a mysterious eighteenth century man. Jago Kerswell, inn-keeper and smuggler, will take any risk to be with Lady Eliza Marcombe.

Over two centuries separate Kayla and Jago, but thanks to a gypsy's spell, their lives become inextricably linked. Kayla finds herself on a quest that could heal the past, but will she find heartache or happiness?

Having never read mills & boon novels as I was a bit young when they were popular I imagine this is along the same vein. Very stereotypical and old fashioned values of men and women even during the “modern day” bit. Having said that it was an enjoyable easy listen. It made a good bedtime story. I wouldn’t buy it but it was ok for a free story.

It’s a bit mills & boon, Although still enjoyable

A lighthearted, frothy novel. Reminded me of the romantic fiction I read in my youth. Rather predictable and no real substance.
