This story had me rolling in laughter. Hard belly laughs!England 1260:Lord Kellen Marshall was married to a Corbett. His wife tried to poison him but she drinks the poison instead. Before she dies, she admits she despises him and has a lover who fathered their daughter and fathered the babe she carries. After she dies, he sends to her father demanding another daughter to wed and if he fails, threatens war. He will never trust another woman.England, present day:Gillian Corbett has broken her engagement and is spending her would be honeymoon searching for her genealogy in England. As she sits drawing a castle ruin and graveyard she is set upon by four young men. One tries to steal a gold ring her father gave her and as she's running from them she falls into oblivion and finds herself set upon by four men on horseback wearing medieval clothing.Kellen and his men see what's going on and ride out to investigate. Seeing the ring on her hand, which looks to be a Corbett seal, he takes her to be his intended and takes her back to the castle. Gillian can't believe what she's seeing or where she's at and thinks she's either dreaming or badly hurt by the original guys trying to attack her and maybe she's been knocked unconscious. Kellen has a midwife check her to make sure she's a virgin and she was screaming and cussing like a sailor at the women holding her down. Kellen and his men are below stairs with their mouths hung open by her ranting."Has the girl been raised in the barracks with the fowlest of knights?" one of the knights asks.As they go through her backpack they are amazed at the odd items they encounter. Her passport picture has them astounded. I was howling in laughter reading about them trying to figure out what the objects are. They think the zipper on her shorts are a chasity belt."She no longer had any doubt that she was wide awake. This wasn't a dream, and she wasn't in a coma. There was nothing like a good gynecological exam to snap a girl out of a delusion."I urge you to pick this book up and follow these two and their friends on their journey to love. I laughed and I cried. I wanted so badly to blink myself there with them. One of my favorite reads this year!
