After I readSecret Diary: A Forbidden Liaisons Erotic RomanceI was looking for another book that could get me lost in time. That was how I found 'A Time for Everything'. This book is about two people that are literally centuries apart. Siobhan is a young woman who's been treated poorly throughout her life. Men have constantly come into her life looking, not for her, but for whatever she can give them. When it happens to her yet again she is furious and she's done with it all. That's when she wanders into the Highlands by herself.This book goes from modern times to old in the blink of an eye. I've always been interested in history and in fact I started out reading historical romance novels so this book was something I really enjoyed. It took someone from the modern world and brought her into ancient Scotland. Her trip through the Highlands was enough to completely change her world and turn everything she knew upside down. Now, not only is she confronted with yet another man, when all she wants is to avoid them, but she has no choice but to accept his help.This is a slightly short book for a romance novel however it is long enough to develop the storyline. You'll feel a connection to Siobhan both for her incredible bad luck with men and her attraction to the stranger who comes and saves her. Some people think it was too short to develop the plot well enough however I felt that it was pretty good even being short. There wasn't a lot of conflict going on through the story however the two characters really did come together and come to understand each other.The names in this book were a little strange as well though I'm not really sure what modern Scottish names would be. It's definitely possible that Siobhan is a completely normal name in Scotland even in modern times. However, for me it just seemed strange and sort of hard to pronounce. Of course the names really didn't have much to do with the storyline so I wasn't too upset by this. Since the story made sense I just kind of glossed over the names that were used.If you like romance novels then you'll probably like this one. There's not a lot of back-story involved and not much conflict but there is romance and there is some sex as well. So depending on what you're looking for, you could still find it here. If you want a book that will while away a short period of time while you're bored then give it a try. You probably will like it. I know it occupied me for a while.
