Book Blurb:
She’s looking to escape her man troubles. Instead, she finds the man of her dreams. There’s only one problem. He’s dead.
Living in a haunted house and uncovering a gateway in time were not in the job description when Samantha Merrill agreed to be the property manager of Highland House. Old photos of the reclusive master of the manor captivate her, yet she’s terrified when he appears out of nowhere. How can Robert Pennington be making love to her by the parlor fireplace when he died over a century ago?
Robert Pennington is a powerful industrialist charged with caring for an ailing father, a meddling mother, and two wayward siblings. Weary of his burdens, he longs for change. Is he ready for a woman from the future? His disciplined world turns upside down when the mysterious Samantha Merrill crashes his sister’s birthday ball. He is wildly attracted to this intriguing beauty, but is it magic or mischief motivating her? When Sam vanishes before his eyes, he knows only one thing for certain. He wants her back.
Dear Readers - Please Note
This is the 2nd edition of Haunting Highland House – A Time Traveler’s Journey, Book 1. The 1st edition was published by The Wild Rose Press, Inc., Fantasy Rose Edition, on October 19th, 2016. The story is the same, however I have polished the writing in places, and some details have been updated to reflect our changing times. (That’s what any good time traveler would do!) Plus, the cover is new. I hope you enjoy the journey.
My Review:
Samantha took the position at Highland House not realizing she’d fall in love with a ghost. How can it be possible? Time shifts but can Samantha and Robert be together in the same year or will the magic close the door on their love forever?
Haunting Highland House is a sweeping time travel romance that is truly unforgettable. Kathryn Hills writes spooky romance like none other and Haunting Highland House is even better. The world-building is flawless. The historical accuracy is impressive. The romance carries the reader on an emotional-filled journey. But it’s the characters that make Haunting Highland House an unputdownable read.
When it comes to time travel romance, I have high expectations. I hold every story up to the greatest time travel romance written, A Knight in Shining Armor by Jude Deveraux. Haunting Highland House is even better, I’m pleased to report. Kathryn Hills’ immersive writing thrust me into the story. The dialogue made me smile. But it’s the romantic in me that had me falling in love with these characters and this story. I didn’t want to leave.
If you love time travel romance as much as me, then get a hold of Haunting Highland House right now. You’ll soon be whisked away in the best written time travel romance out there.
