I had a feeling that this was going to be an exceptional book and Ms. Kathryn Le Veque certainly wrote a marvelous read!  Ms. Le Veque knows how to keep me entranced by everything she writes!  This is another incredible novel by her and the sequel to her time-travel romance the crusader.  I enjoyed this book too getting to know more about our hero Kieran Hage and our heroine Rory "Libby" Osgrove.  I still adore Kieran so much more now.  He is such a strong appealing character that I was really sorry when the book ended I still wanted more.  I just never wanted the book to end!  Even though I found Libby annoying in the crusader I felt a little better about her in this book.  It's hard to adjust to a different time and to be pregnant through part of the book is quite difficult I think I would react the same way if I was faced with the same circumstances.The story picks up where the crusader left off our hero Kieran and our heroine Rory "Libby" Osgrove are in present day Nahariya Israel on the beach pleading with the evil lawyer Steven Corbin who is the reincarnation of Kieran's former best friend and nemesis Simon.  Corbin demands Rory give up Kieran's body and Rory is trying to explain that Kieran the man who is alive and bleeding to death right beside her is the same knight in the morgue.  The British ambassador ends up killing Corbin/Simon before a flash of lightening ends up sending Kieran and Rory to his time of 1192 to complete his mission with Rory accompanying him.  Kieran recognizes where he is immediately but Rory is very frightened and scared she is a modern 21st century woman stuck in a medieval time.  Kieran goes to the hotel where he was staying at to change his attire and find something for Libby to wear also.  They must leave Nahariya before Simon finds him and kills him.  Eventually they get out of Nahariya but have to return due to being ambushed by one of Kieran's friend Yosef. Libby ends up getting hurt instead of Kieran and they take her to the same healer/alchemist Kaleef who put Kieran in a deep slumber until Libby kisses and awakens him.  All sorts of mishaps and danger await them at every turn and Libby does a lot of complaining despite thinking she knows quite a bit in the time of 1192 when actually she knows very little.  Libby eventually and tearfully finds her way back to her own time of 2012 but true love wins in the end Libby and Keiran find their happily ever after with true love's kiss and a kiss that wakes the dead.I was hoping that Ms. Le Veque would let us know what happens to some of her side characters but after reading this book I am left with more questions than answers.  I wanted Bud to actually find someone in this book since he doesn't get Rory so is he still pining for her then?  Did Kieran and Rory have any other children besides Tevin who is stuck in medieval time?  What is the name of the unknown knight that is watching over Rory that looks like Bud are they related?  What happens to Bud and Dave the children that Rory ends up saving from the church?  What is their story since they become adopted by Rory and Kieran?  What happens to Kieran's brother Christian does he end up marrying Charlotte despite their age difference or does he fall for someone else?  Does Andrew Kieran's other brother get married too?  Hopefully Ms. Le Veque will write another novel about Kieran and Rory to continue their story and maybe it will answer some of these questions too.  I rated the book four stars since I had so many questions.  I did find the story quite splendid despite the rating.  I will definitely read this book again and I do recommend it!  I will absolutely read another book by Ms. Le Veque!
