About this listen

Kayla Sinclair knows she's in trouble when she almost bankrupts herself to buy a portrait of a mysterious eighteenth century man. Jago Kerswell, inn-keeper and smuggler, will take any risk to be with Lady Eliza Marcombe.

Over two centuries separate Kayla and Jago, but thanks to a gypsy's spell, their lives become inextricably linked. Kayla finds herself on a quest that could heal the past, but will she find heartache or happiness?

A very sweet storyline. Quite predictable and I could guess what was going to happen next. That said, it was a really nice read. It was written well and was a nice plot. The story could've been padded out a bit more. More depth to the characters etc. Loved all the characters. Good enough that I wanted to get to the end. I'll search out the author and read more to assess her capabilities properly. But I enjoyed the book. Bit of a chick flick beach read. Narrator was pretty good too.

nice, easy read.
