I'm a big Time Travel Romance fan and always looking for a new author and this book added me as a fan of NJ Layouni.  The story is about modern day Martha thrown back in time to meet the medieval Vadim.  The characters have all the qualities you want to see in a TTR.  Martha is sassy, witty and not spoiled.  Vadim is sexy, loyal and old fashioned.  What stood out for me in this story is that the author was able to weave a story without much physical contact going on between the characters but had great chemistry. The story was mainly about Martha and Vadim falling in love without either one wanting or trying to.  Their interactions were so cute with great banter between them.  Martha was a stand out character for me which is not usual because I'm typically draw to the sexy Hero.  She's a modern English women who recently got dumped by her attractive fiancé.  She would say the funniest things that made me laugh.  The townspeople didn't like her at first because they thought she was involved with their enemy.  However, she won the hearts of all one by one including me.  Vadim is mysterious and sexy and very protective of Martha.  He is falling in love too and it makes you want to go "Awwwww".  So many TTR are silly with not much thought about the story.  Hemlock is a well thought out cohesive story that will hold you interest.  I definitely recommend to TTR lovers!
