I'm not a great fan of time travel romances, though I did get sucked into the Gabaldon series years back.  I couldn't resist this book because it is set in territories I know very well. It's also pegged in a tiem period I've been reading more and more about.  The characters are relatively believable, and the whole narrative almost makes time travel believable.  The weakest part of the tale is very near the end.  As in Gabaldon's books, the premise seems to be that some people are time travelers and others not. To make the ending 'turn out right' the hero, who has all through the book no idea how or why he ended up where he does, must have figured out how to travel back and forth between time periods. That is wisely not explained, but it it does raise my eyebrows.The only reason this gets 4 stars and not 5 is, it sometimes drags a bit.  And a few of the characters are more caricatures than personalities.  But all in all, this book is well worth the time and cost.  Do be careful though: This is one of many books which is offered for free to Prime members.  Last time I looked, Prime membership costs $79 a year.  That ain't free.  Still, this book is worth the price.  I'll be interested to see the next one in the series.
