< Always Mine (Zebra Historical Romance) > Julie Moffett

I highly recommend this book if you are a time travel fan, as well as appreciate well-developed characters. This is a keeper! :-)
Ok get your tissue out for this one. I love time travel stories and Julie Moffett has created a wonderful one here. This is the first of two books the second being"Across a Moonswept Moon" which I read by accident first. I loved it also. This book is the story of Faith, a modern woman who works for British Intelligence and is sent on a mission to Ireland. She is positioned in a famous Druid circle of stones. There she meets up with the terrorist she was seeking and a struggle ensues. Somehow they are both sent through time to Ireland in the year 1648. The terrorist runs off and she is found by the handsome Miles O'Bruaidar, who is also known as the Irish Lion, a man who has been causing havok to the British who are invading. She at first doesn't realize she is in the past and when it finally hits her she fears revealing it to Miles, although she trusts him with her life. Together they must over come her fears, The hated British, the traitors to the Irish and many more to stay together. This story made me cry and laugh and I would highly recommend it.
This book is incredible...could not put it down... from the very beginning Julie Moffett builds solid characters that you can relate to and want to believe in... Not only was this book romantic but it was loaded with adventure! Faith Worthington is an agent sent to Ireland to expose an Irish terrorist... She has prepared herself mentally and physically for her mission...unbeknownst to her that her mission would also take her across time and into the arms of an amazing Irishman! Julie Moffett builds a male lead that you want to believe in and takes your breath away just in his presentation alone... I truly had a hard time putting this book down because there was always another twist or turn...whether it be in Faith's self preservation of her life or her heart... I 100% recommend this book, you will not regret it! Please keep writing more books Julie Moffett... I can't wait to see what new adventures you've put together...
I only have 20 pages left to read, but I had to let people know my opinion of the book. This book was wonderful. I could not put it down and hate the fact that I am so close to the end, but have to work! I think the author did a wonderful job, especially with creating the feelings of Faith in finding out she had been transported back in time and also of Miles' feelings when told she was from the future. The story has kept me on the edge of my seat, not wanting to sleep or eat because I would have to put it down. She did a wonderful job. This is definitely a keeper and I eagerly look forward to her next book.
Lovely British agent Faith Worthington is sent on a mission to expose a ruthless IRA terrorist. But a bullet to the thigh knocks her back to seventeenth-century Ireland . . . and into the arms of rebel leader Miles O'Bruaidar. Known as the Irish Lion, Miles immediately suspects the modern-day beauty of being a spy. He takes Faith as his hostage, only to discover her feminine wiles are incredibly alluring. But desperate to return to the future, Faith has no time for love mutton-feasting, ale-quaffing brute like Miles. Yet with each passing day her own time and staying with the charming rogue, Faith knows her heart has been pierced to the quick, but she wonders if their love will always be a double-edged blade.

I really didn't like this book. I thought Ian was a miserable immature user who never seemed to grow up. I never found him particularly romantic or, desirable. Shannon was a typical romance heroine, with no real personality and no backbone. Some of the descriptions were well written, however many of the characters talked and acted like modern people, despite being set in ancient Ireland. The husband's bigamy was a real turn off for me and poorly handled. Overall... I cannot really recommend this novel. It was disappointing on too many levels
This book falls way short of a romance novel. I ordinarily love the time travel to a romantic land and a handsome Celt storyline. This story made it difficult to get into the mood, when the heroine of the book is in essence having an affair with a married man about to become a father. The actual time passage scenairo was very vague and loosely written, and I don't know about you, but when I am fantacizing about a gorgeous hunk of a man, I wan't him AVAILABLE, not in essence, cheating on his pregnant wife.(No matter what the customs of Beltane dictate.) Definately a turn off. The end does not justify the means in this story.
Born into a family of wealth and power, Shannon has to reinvent herself when her father's business collapses. Planning to relocate to the home of her forbearers in Ireland after college, Shannon immerses herself in her studies. When an old book reveals a mysterious scrap of vellum with musical notes and her name, she finds herself whistling a different tune in a different time--a time of mists and warriors, Druids and legends, and a handsome Irish outcast named Lasairian.

Would I read another book by this author? Probably. As long it doesn't have to deal with a western type setting.
After reading Free Falling I couldn't wait to lay my hands on this sequel to it&I wasn't disapointed. It is brilliant. Darian is to die for. My one disapointment is as far as I can tell there will be no other books in this series. I just didn't want it to end. Please Stobie write some more.
If you like to read about the old West, and don't mind not getting much in the way of living day-to-day details, this one is for you.

The "mechanics" of the time-travel is a mysterious whirlwind Emily jumps into out of a plane. She volunteers for this after overhearing a man and his wife talk about a civil war officer they "know" who ends up hanged. Emily is intrigued by their conversation, and finds out they aren't crazy-they really do know this man who lived over 100 years ago. So, she accepts their challenge to go back in time to stop his hanging.

When she arrives, the state of her attire is cause for some interesting reactions from the men she runs into, but I found it hard to believe the people weren't more scandalized by her T-shirt and shorts!

Emily is portrayed as slightly ditsy in the beginning-but with an attitude. Later, she develops into a more thoughtful woman as she is faced with the challenge of how to save Darian from hanging. Darian is portrayed as a blushing, yet take-charge guy that likes to speak well. I never got the warm fuzzies over his physical description, although he gets points in the bedroom from Emily.

I especially liked the ending. Throughout the book, you get the feeling that Darian is a pre-incarnate of Emily's first husband. You're never quite sure until the end, though. Makes an interesting plot twist.

I liked the book, and don't regret buying it; but is it just me, or was there a pre-quel that developed characters introduced early in the story?
Emily Morgan goes back in time to try to warn a Civil War hero to change his course to avoid being hung as a criminal. Of course, Darian Woodward's sense of honor would never allow him to abandon his mission to clear his name, and for some reason, Darian just seems to get himself deeper and deeper in trouble.

But he can't avoid his feelings for the woman of the future who refuses to wear decent clothing. And although she knows the future is uncertain, Emily can't resist the allure of the most honorable man she has ever met...especially since he's the spittin' image of her former husband!

This is an engrossing story with memorable characters and an unusual plot. The only reason I don't give it five stars is that I thought the ending was a bit too pat to be believable...although I'm not sure that time travel romances are meant to be realistic....!
Darian Woodward had been a hero in the War Between the States, but somewhere hed been blown off course. Unjustly ruined by a superior officer, the handsome soldier turned to crime. His blue eyes and daring deeds earned him a name throughout the old Southwest, but bandits sought gold, and this gunfighters interests were entirely different. Fate had blown in a sexier bounty. Though she was swept away by it, Emily Morgan was less awed by the mystic whirlwind that carried her into the past than by the handsome desperado who greeted her. Joining the mans close-knit band of outlaws, Emily learned the fun of being bad dangers. And when the Feds came to capture her Blue-Eyed Bandit, Emily would prove that Western justice had its limits, and true love could break any laws
