Sophie and Jamie, a young married couple in 2007, have a problem. Sophie is dying, because her heart is failing. While hooked up to machines in their home, she is suddenly transported back into her favorite time in history: the Civil War era. Now, she is healed, healthy, but confused as to how she got there and where Jamie is. Back home in the present, her body is gone and Jamie is frantic.
This historical romance was a pleasure to read. The writing is smooth and the characters very relatable. While there was a solid balance of history and mystery in the plot, the romance stayed consistent and sweet, without being over the top, throughout the story. Sophie and Jamie have a great relationship, and it really shows throughout the story. This is the first in a series, and after reading the first, I'm definitely eager to see what happens in book 2.
