really liked it

Wonderful fantasy romance set to the sweeping and glamorous backdrop of the 1870s. Kelsie Sheridan Gonzalez delivers a refreshing fantasy romance standalone about the power of love across time and against all the odds.

The story throws the reader into the middle of the action with the disappearance of Emma and Rua's first moments. As both Rua and the reader scramble to make sense of what is happening, you are sucked into the harsh and glittering world of Gilded Age politics, society, and intrigue. Rua does her best to play the role of Emma, but she is thwarted by many at every turn. At the same time, the reader meets Finn -- the dashing lord -- trying to make his way in American society. While there is a tinge of dislike between the two, they feel drawn to one another.

Sheridan Gonazlez does a wonderful job of sprinkling in this past moments of faint memories for both Rua and Finn. Together, the main characters and the readers piece together to the moments that lead to New York in the 1870s.

I really enjoyed Rua's rough and tumble attitude as she crashes through polite New York society. The dual POV with Finn adds a little extra as you see the world through his eyes. Sheridan Gonazlez sprinkles in some truly heinous individuals that will cross out duo from time to time -- one of them had been yelling had her underhandedness.

This is a truly fun standalone that will sweep you away from an afternoon and take you on a worldwind adventure of Irish mythology, romance, and the right touch of fantasy! I am excited to read more from this author!
