Slow burn time travel romance

This is my first book by this author and I really enjoyed her style of writing. She has a beautiful way of making you feel like you are right there, experiencing everything with the characters. Her descriptive style made you taste the grit of the desert, feel the dust from the stagecoach permeate your clothing or feel the heat of the fire as you watch the rabbit roast.

Maxton, from the present, is trying to escape his less than stellar past. He impetuously takes off for Mexico in his car when danger threatens. He gets sucked into a whirlwind and finds himself in 1892 where homosexuality is illegal. He knows that he has 2 friends from his time here in Trinidad, Colorado and tries to make his way to them. Unfortunately he ends up in jail tormented by two cruel deputies.

Trent, The Sherriff of Trinidad, is tasked with escorting Maxton to Trinidad.
Trent leads a rather lonely existence, and believes he must deny his nature to maintain his impeccable reputation.
Maxton and Trent travel by horseback for 5 days in harsh conditions and start to develop an attraction for each other.
It takes a few trials and tribulations before they finally embrace their HEA.
This is a stand-alone but includes characters from the previous Love Across Time books.
I highly recommend this book.

What a little gem. A sweet, romantic book with two wonderful characters Lyall and Nick. They are both so likeable that it makes easy to connect with them. A well written book with an interesting plot line that kept me engaged. A lot of fun, a bit of angst and a loving but at times interfering family made for an overall enjoyable, easy read.

Wonderful small town romance

I’ve been waiting for Chad and Jasper’s story and once again Ed Davies has given us a well written, gorgeous love story.
Chad was quite the complex character under all his swagger and brashness in previous books. He’s ashamed of the way he previously treated people, feels his life is empty and lonely and every rejection hurts him. He’s afraid to reach out to others because of his past behaviour. It’s beautiful the way he changes himself into a better person.
Jasper is still hiding out in Hidden Creek after he was mugged in Houston. Jasper has sass, strength, optimism, sparkle and sensitivity in spades.
He knows about Chad’s reputation and past but doesn’t judge him for it.
They have an almost instant intense attraction but it’s not acted on immediately. Their physical attraction is taken slowly and thoughtfully.
This is such a beautiful story and I admit that on a few occasions I shed a silent tear for Chad, but with a couple of bumps along the way, Chad and Jasper make it to their HEA.
This is the final book in this season of the Hidden Creek series. It can be read as a stand-alone but characters from previous books are included in the story. You don’t need to read the series but it’s so good that I highly recommend this book and the previous instalments.
