A Stitch in Time

De: Kelley Armstrong

Narrado por: Samantha Brentmoor

Thorne Manor has always been haunted...and it has always haunted Bronwyn Dale. As a young girl, Bronwyn could pass through a time slip in her great-aunt's house, where she visited William Thorne, a boy her own age, born two centuries earlier. After a family tragedy, the house was shuttered and Bronwyn was convinced that William existed only in her imagination.

Now, 20 years later Bronwyn inherits Thorne Manor. And when she returns, William is waiting.

William Thorne is no longer the boy she remembers. He’s a difficult and tempestuous man, his own life marred by tragedy and a scandal that had him retreating to self-imposed exile in his beloved moors. He’s also none too pleased with Bronwyn for abandoning him all those years ago.

As their friendship rekindles and sparks into something more, Bronwyn must also deal with ghosts in the present version of the house. Soon she realizes they are linked to William and the secret scandal that drove him back to Thorne Manor. To build a future, Bronwyn must confront the past.

Interesting characters and plot

I’m a sucker for time travel and this did not disappoint. The female protagonist, Bronwyn travels back in time to the 1800s through a time slip in a family home. There, she rekindles a romance with William, a man she first met when she was a child/teen.

Add in a few ghosts and family secrets and you get a general sense of the plot. The multiple ghosts were a bit confusing at times. But overall, this was a great novel that I enjoyed immensely.

The characters were well-developed and the plot was intriguing. The ending was quite satisfying.

The only thing I found annoying was how frequently William “chuckled“. The word was overused. The more invisible “said“, would have eliminated the distraction.

Samantha Brentmoor did a nice job with the narration.

Loved it!

I rarely leave reviews, and was skeptical to listen to the book after reading a review that said this book was amateur and some other nonsense. If you like romance without all the explicit " love making" this it! Romance and mystery in one. The narrator is great to listen to. I have no regrets about paying to listen to this book and look forward to hearing more books by this author.

Unexpected Enjoyment!

I will premise this with, I enjoyed this story when, I was concerned I would not. I read a review that stated this book had lots of technical writing errors, which is a huge "feaux pas". So when I read that review I thought, if someone who is a "technical writer" can't spell, I will go ahead and read it. I have read many horribly written books, that many thought were the best books ever (It has the word "Shades and Grey" in it (just to name one). I fear many don't know how to read or write (another conversation for another forum), to make fair statements.

This book was well written, though not perfect, but who is. I loved the premise of the story, as well as how it flowed, and kept me engaged. I do not recall any foul language, so refreshing in today's society, where books throw foul language left and right to make a point.

I am glad I went on this journey and tested a for me a new author.

The only HORRIBLE draw back to the book was all the "politically correct crap in it". I don't believe this story needed it. Also how the character in the book kept saying that the "Canadian Health System is free". NO SUCH THING! As I was saying, that was a ridiculous statement, that again did not need to be in there. I just wanted to escape into a good story.

Great story

Bodice-ripping historical romance, ghost story, time travel, murder mystery—-this book has it all. The beginning is a bit slow but the payoff is worth it. An entertaining and interesting read/listen. Kudos to Samantha Brentmoor who did a great job voicing the characters

Great book!

I loved this book. It was an easy listen while walking. Found myself sitting to listen and figure the mystery out for the last few chapters. The suspense was killing me. I loved the ending too.

Great time travel

Very enjoyable listening experience

This was the first book I've read from this author and I really enjoyed the story. The narration was very well done and I easily slipped into each character.

I cried at the end
