After going through an incredibly painful divorce, Valerie Crane finds a clock in an antique store that she tries to reset and it happens to really be a sort of time machine that takes her back to the early 1600s. Valerie isn't sure what happened and her sister who is left in the present day is frantic to find her sister and part of the story focuses on her looking for Valerie and trying to figure out what happened. This is the first book in a planned series but I felt that this book could totally be read as a standalone book.When Valerie goes back in time, she is sort of saved by two brothers: Finlay and Alec. Of course they fall for her. All of the pain and suffering that Valerie felt as she was going through her terrible divorce melts away as she now has to choose between the love of two men in England. I really liked Valerie as she shows a ton of strength in the book. I would be way freaked out to find myself in another time but Valerie really takes it in stride. Valerie ends up falling for Finlay, the much more volatile brother who makes decisions that will end up changing all of the characters' lives!Finlay falls in with the rebels who hatched the infamous Gunpowder Plot and gets in trouble. It is left to Alec to pick up the pieces. I haven't read a lot about Guy Fawkes and the Gunpowder Plot so I really, really liked that this bit of history was included in the book.
