Description
Liberty Valley Love, Yesterday and Today ~ where no matter what, soulmates find each other.
While
trailing a serial killer on horseback, homicide detective Beth Chambers
finds she has somehow ridden back in time—to 1888! When she comes
across injured Marshal Rad Morgan, she has no choice but to try to save
his life. Though the handsome marshal believes a lady should stand
behind her man, Beth is determined to catch the killer she’s chased
through time, and prove she’s a capable law enforcement officer in any
century.
A former Union soldier, Rad has survived the Confederate
hellhole of Andersonville Prison—but his toughest challenge is
beautiful Beth Chambers. As the headstrong female detective from the
future lets him in on why she’s there, Rad becomes convinced that her
stubbornness may get her killed. But when he is shot and left for dead,
the marshal has no other choice but to put himself in Beth’s hands—and
hope they can both survive!
Two officers of the law from
different centuries chasing the same killer could be a recipe for
disaster—especially with the distraction of love! AMAZON LINK

I sometimes like to read time travel stories but not all are ones that I really enjoy. This one I really did !!
Beth resisted the idea that she was now in 1888 for a VERY LONG time. And who could blame her? She was a detective so even as she collected evidence that pointed her in that direction it was still hard to swallow. After all she was hunting a savage killer and had a life she wanted to return to. Something that I also enjoyed was the meshing of detective methods that Beth had to use. Some of her tools from 2018 and then adapting to what was available in 1888.
Rad. How do I explain him? In the beginning he was a "man of his times" with some pretty solid ideas of what a good woman did and did not do and how they dressed. Surprise, Surprise, Beth didn't fit any of those ideas. But I really enjoyed how they sparked off each other and how they developed through the story. It was also good to see that there was more good to Rad than just the original way he acted.
Trace was quite the surprise and not like anything like I had assumed. What a fantastic twist. And it's not the only surprise waiting in the book. Loved that!
As a Christian the Goddess part wasn't something that I would normally pick to read but ... I still have to say it was a great story. It had really good world building with enjoyable supporting cast of people as well. It was easy to be drawn into their lives as well.
I liked how the book ended. But it looked like not everything was concluded with the killer but it looks like some doors to 1888 might just be closed to him now. And I liked how things worked out for Rad and Beth even better.
I received an ARC from Netgalley and am voluntarily providing an honest review.
