ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date August 12, 2025

“Once upon a time there was a summer.”

That’s the way the bedtime story starts, the one Mari Caldwell tells her little girl. It’s also her secret story of waking up one day in San Francisco, 1967, having time-traveled to the tie-dyed Summer of Love.

But she was seventeen then. Now, at 34, where Mari once saw 60’s idealism, she now sees only disillusionment. Newly divorced and stuck in a settled-for career, Mari’s failed at giving her child the perfect family she’d envisioned. That weird weekend in the sixties— the rock band she crashed with, the musician she loved, the hit song he wrote for her— lives in the way-back of her mind. Did it even happen? She’s not so sure… Until it happens again.

Playback rewinds Mari’s life as she makes a second visit to Haight-Ashbury in 1967, now autumn. The band, Mari’s rival, and her first love all see the 17-year-old girl they met in June. But inside, adult Mari faces both tender and devastating choices. What if, regardless of how the times have a-changed, love changes everything after all? What if it even changes her?

•••••

REVIEW:PLAYBACK by Carla Malden is an adult, time travel romance set in the author’s SHINE UNTIL TOMORROW world focusing on thirty-four year old, single mother and photographer Mari Caldwell. PLAYBACK can be read as a stand alone but for back story and cohesion I recommend first reading SHINE UNTIL TOMORROW where Mari’s story of time travel begins.

Told from first person perspective (Mari Caldwell) following dual timelines, PLAYBACK follows newly divorced Mari Caldwell as she ventures back in time to 1967’s Haight-Ashbury where her appearance and actions have changed the course of music history. In 1967, having met and fallen in love with singer/song writer Jimmy Westwood, and his band known as the Neon Dream, a seventeen year old Mari Caldwell influenced a young man, whose life would be forever changed. Struggling with her own life in the present, Mari discovers that sometimes changing the little things about the past, have a butterfly affect that will change your own life in the future. A few more days with the man she once loved ended when the reality of what was, never was, and Mari returns to her own timeline in an effort to recover some of what she lost. The past will come full circle when the frailty of life ends for one, but the start of a new relationship continues to keep the past alive.

PLAYBACK is the story of one woman’s journey into the past during the ‘Summer of Love’ in the Haight-Ashbury District of San Francisco, a journey that will change the lives of everyone she met. Our heroine will once again meet the family she never knew, as the people and places hold a special spot in her heart and her soul. The richly layered premise is entertaining, enchanting and intriguing story of reflection and introspection; the characters are sassy, spirited yet flawed.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date May 20, 2205

After slipping 150 years into the past, modern-day homicide detective Mallory Atkinson has embraced her new life in Victorian Scotland as housemaid Catriona Mitchel. Although it isn’t what she expected, she’s developed real, meaningful relationships with the people around her and has come to love her role as assistant to undertaker Dr. Duncan Gray and Detective Hugh McCreadie.

Mallory, Gray, and McCreadie are on their way to the Scottish Highlands for McCreadie’s younger sister’s wedding. The McCreadies and the groom’s family, the Cranstons, have a complicated history which has made the weekend quite uncomfortable. But the Cranston estate is beautiful so Gray and Mallory decide to escape the stifling company and set off to explore the castle and surrounding wilderness. They discover that the groom, Archie Cranston, a slightly pompous and prickly man, has set up deadly traps in the woods for the endangered Scottish wildcats, and they soon come across a cat who’s been caught and severely injured. Oddly, Mallory notices the cat’s injuries don’t match up with the intricacies of the trap. These strange irregularities, combined with the secretive and erratic behavior of the groom, put Mallory and Duncan on edge. And then when one of the guests is murdered, they must work fast to uncover the murderer before another life is lost.

REVIEW:DEATH AT A HIGHLAND WEDDING is the fourth full-length instalment in Kelley Armstrong’s adult A RIP THROUGH TIME historical, time-travel mystery series focusing on thirty year old Vancouver Detective Mallory Atkinson, and undertaker / investigator Dr. Duncan Gray. DEATH AT A HIGHLAND WEDDING can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lies is revealed where necessary but I recommend reading book one A RIP THROUGH TIME for backstory and cohesion regarding the events that lead Mallory back in time.

SOME BACKGROUND: In the spring of 2019 while visiting her ailing grandmother in Edinburgh Scotland,a then thirty year old, Vancouver British Columbia, Canada police detective Mallory Atkinson is attacked in an alley only to wake up as a nineteen year old housemaid in Scotland, the year 1869, a housemaid who was also attacked and left for dead in the same alley where Mallory was found. Not only has our heroine time travelled back one-hundred and fifty years but she is no longer physically the same woman she was just minutes before. Working as a housemaid for Dr. Duncan Gray and his sister Isla, realizing life as she knew it was no longer under her control, Mallory must assume the position of nineteen year old Catriona Mitchell, a young woman whose history is questionable and dark. Working alongside Dr. Gray and Detective McCreadie, Mallory uses her abilities as a detective to help.

Told from first person perspective (Mallory) DEATH AT A HIGHLAND WEDDING follows Mallory, Dr. Duncan Gray and Detective Hugh McCreadie as they embark on a journey towards Hugh’s sister’s wedding but within hours of their arrival, one of the guests goes missing, later found murdered, and everyone becomes suspect including family, friends, neighbors and the former residents of the estate. Without the 21st century tools to use in her investigation, Mallory and Duncan must improvise in the wake of a questionable probe and inspection by an inexperienced police officer, with only months on the job, a police officer who is too quick to arrest the soon-to-be groom.

The world building follows Mallory, Duncan and Hugh McCreadie as they begin an investigation into the murder of one of the guests but the deeper the trio digs, the clues reveal a dark secret that goes back more than a decade.

The relationship between Duncan and Mallory is slowly progressing to something more. Duncan, Hugh and Isla are aware of Mallory’s true identity, and her outward appearance remains that of a twenty-year old house maid from Victorian England but the morals of the time may force our couple to take their friendship to the next level-here’s hoping the author has plans for something more.

There is a large ensemble of questionable secondary and supporting characters including the return of Dr. Duncan Gray, his sister Isla, Detective Hugh McCreadie, and parlor-maid Alice. We are introduced to Hugh’s former fiancé Violet, and his sister (the bride) Fiona McCreadie, and her fiancé Archie Cranston; best man Cranston, as well as several former school mates, extended family and questionable neighbors.

DEATH AT A HIGHLAND WEDDING is a story of secrets and lies, betrayal and vengeance,power and control, family and friendships, relationships and love. The premise is enchanting and engaging;the characters are dynamic and determined.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date April 16, 2025

Southeast Pennsylvania, November 1777.

For Noah and Jake Maclean, the saga gets real. One year after the brothers entered a time portal and traded the computer age for the colonial age, they rush headlong into the American Revolution.

Noah, 23, rides off to war. Against the wishes of his fiancée, Abigail Ward, he joins the Continental Army as it retreats to Valley Forge. To improve his odds of surviving the rebellion, he brings modern knowledge and pistols, weapons that soon draw the attention of the enemy.

Jake, 16, stays behind. He helps furniture maker Samuel Ward and his family resettle in the country after the British seize Philadelphia. As he supports his newfound kin, he strengthens his relationship with Rachel Ward, Sam’s mischievous younger daughter.

The time travelers chart new courses in an era filled with violence, disease, and disruption. In doing so, they leave a mess for relatives tasked with reporting their disappearance.

As Douglas and Donna Maclean confront investigators and reporters in 2024, they do their best to carry out an elaborate ruse, guard an ancient family secret, and use the resources of the present to protect their nephews in the past.

In THE WINDING ROAD, the second book in the Stone Shed trilogy, two brothers find romance, danger, and adventure as they make their way in a world they were never meant to see.

•••••

REVIEW:THE WINDING ROAD is the second instalment in John A Heldt’s adult STONE SHED historical, time-travel saga focusing on brothers Noah and Jake Maclean. THE WINDING ROAD should not be read as a stand alone as it picks up after the events of book one THE PATRIOT.

SOME BACKGROUND: Following the death of their grandfather in 2024, Noah and Jake Maclean receive a letter that will change their lives: a stone shed, and a portal through time finds the brothers journeying back and forth through the past, landing in Philadelphia in 1776 wherein the American Revolution is in full swing, and the brothers are about to change a little bit of history for love and heart.

Told from several omniscient third person perspectives including Noah and Jake, following a non-linear timeline, THE WINDING ROAD follows Noah Maclean as his enlists in General Washington’s army, and finds himself at the center of an historical anachronism when he brings the future back into the past, and sets into motion a potential betrayal. As part of their journey, the brothers are warned against changing history but the reality of historical knowledge and the ability to save lives with modern medicine is too tempting for Noah and Jake. Lives will be saved but suspicion is aroused when clues are left behind, and Noah unknowingly has a target on his back.

Meanwhile, Noah’s love Abigail Ward has been approached to aid in the war effort, as Noah’s brother Jake struggles to find himself while his brother goes to war.

The secondary and supporting characters include the return of Noah and Jake’s Uncle Doug and Aunt Donna ; Uncle Lachlan; sisters Abigail and Rachel Ward, as well as their parents Sam and Elizabeth; house servants Sarah, Flora and Fauna Jones.; General George Washington; Benedict Arnold, and several British soldiers.

THE WINDING ROAD is an historical, time travel story, blending fiction with fact, focusing on the Maclean brothers as they journey towards family, romance and love. The premise visits several timelines as the brothers travel through history in the hopes of saving the people they love. The characters are determined and dynamic; the romances are understated .

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date December 1, 2024

There, they bump into Lady Inglis—the lovely widow who has sent Gray sexy letters trying to entice him back to her bed.

Lady Inglis introduces Mallory to Dickens—the meeting of a lifetime—but in return she wants their help. She’s being blackmailed. Someone stole letters she wrote to another lover and is threatening to publish them.

Mallory isn’t sure what to make of Lady Inglis, but no woman deserves that, so she insists on taking the case with or without Gray’s help. Growing tension between them soon tells Mallory that Gray is hiding a secret of his own. She has until Hogmanay to uncover the blackmailer…and, hopefully, to put things right with Gray so they can enjoy the holiday together.

REVIEW:SCHEMES AND SCANDALS is an adult holiday novella set in Kelley Armstrong’s SCHEMES AND SCANDALS time travel mystery series focusing on thirty year old, Vancouver, Canada Police Detective Mallory Atkinson, and undertaker/investigator Dr. Duncan Gray. SCHEMES AND SCANDALS can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty but I recommend reading book one A RIP THROUGH TIME for back story and cohesion.

SOME BACKGROUND: In the spring of 2019 while visiting her ailing grandmother in Edinburgh Scotland, thirty year old, Vancouver British Columbia, Canada police detective Mallory Atkinson is attacked in an alley only to wake up as a nineteen year old housemaid in Scotland, in the year 1869, a housemaid who was also attacked and left for dead in the same alley where Mallory was found. Not only has our heroine time travelled back one-hundred and fifty years but she is no longer physically the same woman she was just minutes before. Working as a housemaid for Dr. Duncan Gray and his sister Isla, realizing life as she knew it was no longer under her control, Mallory must assume the position of nineteen year old Catriona Mitchell, a young woman whose history is questionable and dark. Working alongside Dr. Gray and Detective McCreadie, Mallory uses her abilities as a detective to help.

Told from first person perspective (Mallory) SCHEMES AND SCANDALS focuses on the days before the traditional Christmas holidays but Scotland did not celebrate Christmas in 1869 therefore the tradition of Hogmanay (the arrival of the New Year) was fast approaching, and Mallory and Duncan were about to find themselves involved in another investigation, the theft of some very private and scandalous letters written by a widow to her secret lover. As Mallory and Duncan begin to interview a number of possible suspects, our heroine will employ the use some of the 21st century simple technology in an effort to determined the person responsible.

We are introduced to Lady Patricia Ingles, Lord Charles Simpson, and his brother Arthur, and several local inhabitants of 1869, as well as the return of Dr. Duncan Gray, his sister Isla, housemaid ‘Jack’, housekeeper Mrs. Wallace, and Detective Hugh McCreadie.

SCHEMES AND SCANDALS is a quick read; a fascinating and intriguing tale of ‘whodunit?’. The premise is captivating; the characters are determined and charismatic.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date November 15, 2024

Time takes everything – but what if it could also give back?

It’s December 2019 in a small Welsh town, and 60-year-old estate agent Eric Meek discovers a property which boasts a truly unique garage conversion. Instead of the more customary home office or gym, it contains a hole in space-time that has been developed into a traversable portal.

The portal allows movement between 2019 and the day it was first powered up, 3rd July 1976, which just happened to be the best – and worst – day of 16-year-old Eric’s life.

Presented with a chance to right the wrongs of the past, Eric revisits the moment he believes defined his future. His adventures in time also find him caught up in a decades-old missing persons case while he attempts to improve the lives of those close to him, including his long-dead father.

The Time-Travelling Estate Agent is the story of a first love, a second chance, and a third age redemption.

Will Eric change history? Or will history change Eric?

•••

REVIEW:THE TIME-TRAVELLING ESTATE AGENT by Dale Bradford is an adult, historical, sci-fi, time travel stand alone focusing on sixty year old real-estate agent Eric Meek.

NOTE: As the author is British, and the story is set in Britain,  there are many colloquial British mannerisms, and euphemisms used throughout the story.

Told from omniscient third person perspective (Dale Bradford) following two timelines (2019 and 1976) THE TIME-TRAVELLING ESTATE AGENT focuses on struggling real-estate agent Eric Meek. With the creditors chomping at the bit, estate agent Eric Meek needs to make a sale. When a local resident offers their house up for sale, the eccentric and reluctant husband and physicist refuses Eric’s offer, but not until Eric discovers the truth hidden behind the resident’s walls. The physicist has opened a portal to July 3rd, 1976, an important date for the people of the time but a date that is about to repeat itself with every visit from our story line hero. As Eric embarks on a journey to 1976, to locate the girl he once loved, Eric will discover the secrets and lies long buried beneath in the past.

THE TIME-TRAVELLING ESTATE AGENT is a story of probabilities and impossibilities; of a multi-verse wherein our hero bears witness to the past as it continues to repeat itself with ever visit. A story of secrets and lies, betrayal and vengeance, THE TIME-TRAVELLING ESTATE AGENT is an intriguing and captivating story of Improbabilia but entertaining, none-the-less.

•••••

REVIEW:THAT ONE TIME ON CHRISTMAS EVE by LP Dover is a contemporary, adult, somewhat paranormal, time travel romance story line focusing on thirty year old, gallery owner Lydia Scott in the days and weeks before Christmas.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Lydia and Jake) THAT ONE TIME ON CHRISTMAS EVE follows gallery owner Lydia Scott in the approach to the Christmas holidays. Lydia has watched from the sidelines as her friends found love and moved on with their lives, and Lydia had always thought she would have found someone special but living in Blowing Rock means the choices are few and far between until a wish with the toss of a coin finds our heroine facing the possibility of three potential suitors, one of which she has known most of her life. With the ‘help’ of a Christmas angel, Lydia is transported back in time where she will re-experience the previous two Christmas Eve’s, meeting the men who quite possibly may change her life.

THAT ONE TIME ON CHRISTMAS EVE is a sweet and playful story line of finding love. There is little to no conflict except Lydia’s rapidly evolving love life and the three men who take an interest. We are introduced to Lydia’s sister Violet; Lydia’s best friend Hailey, and Hailey’s brother, professional golfer Jake Reynolds; university professor Max Harper, photographer Ben Davis, Lydia’s nana, Max’s grandfather John, and Margaret Grant.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date August 25, 2024

From the author of the critically acclaimed Second Chance series comes the first book in the Stone Shed saga.

When Noah Maclean, 22, races home from Europe, he finds a dying grandfather, a hidden letter, and a family secret that dates to the 1740s. He learns he is the keeper of a stone shed that can send people through time.

Within weeks, Noah and his brother, Jake, 15, test their inheritance. They travel to 1776 to see Philadelphia in the age of Benjamin Franklin, the Declaration of Independence, and the American Revolution.

Expecting to return within weeks, the orphaned brothers make the most of their field trip through history. Then they meet the lovely daughters of a furniture maker, and a pleasant adventure becomes a transformative journey.

Filled with humor, romance, and heartbreak, THE PATRIOTS follows two lost souls through a critical moment in time as they adjust to new surroundings and wrestle with knowledge of things to come.

••••

REVIEW: THE PATRIOTS by John A Heldt is the first instalment in John A Heldt’s adult STONE SHED SAGA historical, time travel trilogy focusing on twenty-two year old Noah Maclean, and his fifteen year old brother Jake.

NOTE: Due to the nature of the story line premise, there may be triggers for more sensitive readers.

Told from several omniscient third person perspectives including Jake and Noah THE PATRIOTS follows Noah and Jake Maclean in the aftermath of their grandfather’s death in 2024. A letter, a stone shed, and a portal through time finds the brothers journeying to Philadelphia in 1776 wherein the American Revolution is in full swing, and the brothers are about to change a little bit of history for love and heart. Finding jobs and falling in love means leaving a piece of themselves behind but a couple of trips into the future will reveal the truth to two young woman whose lives will be changed forever.

Like Star Trek’s ‘prime directive’, the Maclean brothers are not to interfere or change history but their brother’s contemporary knowledge of history and medicine means aiding and assisting when lives are in trouble.

Throughout the story line, the brothers will meet or watch history unfold: from an influenza epidemic, to Benjamin Franklin and John Adams, to George Washington and Lafayette, the Maclean brothers travel through time wlll be noted in history by the changes they wrought, much to the chagrin of the people they left behind. But to save the young woman with whom they are falling in love, the truth is revealed, as the British soldiers marched toward their targets.

We are introduced to several historical figures, as well as Noah and Jake’s Uncle Doug and Aunt Donna ; Uncle Lachlan; sisters Abigail and Rachel Ward, as well as their parents Sam and Elizabeth, soldier Colin Richards, and house servants Sarah, Flora and Fauna Jones.

THE PATRIOTS is a time travel story, using both fictional and factual accounts of the time periods visited, with elements of romance, family, relationships and love. The premise is intriguing and entertaining;the characters are charismatic and charming; the romance is subtle. THE PATRIOTS ends on a cliff hanger-you have been warned.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date JUNE 11, 2024

Soul mates born centuries apart. A portal awakens to unite them.

Jaye Ramsey vacations in Bolivia with her friends to prove to her eccentric grandmother that time travel isn’t real. Then she stumbles upon a vortex in the Salar de Uyuni and winds up in Hawksatter, England, 1735—the same town her grandmother had supposedly vanished from as a young woman.

Accused of murdering his bride on their wedding day a decade earlier, Lord Lucas Kenway closed the family farm and shut out the world. He never expected the strange, secretive woman he found sleeping on his doorstep to turn his quiet life upside down—or slip into his bed.

After Jaye discovers a way back to her own time, she’s left with an impossible choice—stay in the past and never see her beloved grandparents again, or return home and lose the only man she’s ever loved.

••••••

REVIEW:Time travelling romance is not my usual go to genre, but pushing myself to read something different.

And I’m glad I did…..

Jaye has grown up with hearing how her grandmother travelled through time. It was put down to an old woman’s flights of fancy. No one really believed the old woman, and to prove her grandmother daydreamed the whole thing, Jaye goes to the town in Bolivia. But the last laugh is on the grandmother’s daughter….. Waking up in a cave, Jaye needs to have her wits about her.

Lucas was accused of murdering his wife on their wedding night…. Closing the family home, he vows no one will ever get close to his heart again!!

300 years in the past, we find Jaye finally believing her grandma’s tales! They were true, but how can she get back to her own time? Does she really want to be stuck here?

Reading the blurb I did get a little confused! Is Jaye a reincarnation of her grandma? How does this time travel work?

But carry on reading and everything becomes clear. It’s a short story so bear in mind that the couple don’t have a lot of pages to fall in love! Can they really overcome all the obstacles that are thrown in their way?

Will Lucas open his heart and believe his lost life has come back? Can Jaye make a life for herself in the past? And if she does, then she’ll never see her family again!

As I said, it’s a short story. But it’s packed full of emotions and events. Really well written and thought out. Apparently it was from an anthology, so it’s be rewritten a little, and there is another story (think it’s her grandmother’s story, but I’m not 100% sure)

I’d recommend this if you’re a lover of time travelling romance.

A quick, fun romance that packs a lifetime in.
