Summary

A Sweeping Saga

As the sole survivor of the car crash that killed her parents, grief-stricken paramedic Kit MacKlenna is stunned to learn her life is built on lies. A legacy from her father includes a faded letter and a well-worn journal. The journal reveals she was abandoned as a baby 160 years ago. The only clues to her identity are a blood-splattered shawl, a locket with the portrait of a 19th century man, and a Celtic brooch with magical powers. Kit decides to continue her father's 25-year search for her identity and solve her birth parents' murders.

Scotsman Cullen Montgomery, a San Francisco-bound lawyer who resembles the ghost who has haunted Kit since childhood, helps her join a wagon train heading west. More dangerous than the river crossings, bad water, and disease encountered on the trail is Cullen's determination to expose her lies and uncover the source of her unusual knowledge and lifesaving powers.

Kit is convinced that if she can survive the perilous journey and Cullen's accusations, as well as thwart his attempts to seduce her, she might solve the mystery of her heritage and return home without leaving her heart on the other side of time.

outlander copycat

Listenable but didn't grab me,too much like Outlander, (handsome,strong,brave highlander, time travelling female with medical background and no living relatives ) and not as good.
first time I've heard a Scottish highlander with an Irish accent too !

Good story

This was a good story, alot of sexual parts. I could not understand some of the concepts of the time travel parts, even for a advid time travel reader; it was hard to follow. Over all I would mind listening to the others in the series.

all consuming surprisingly good listen

an excellent book which I started tentatively, thinking it sounded to much like another time traveling read. However it surprised me was being equally enjoyable for its complete difference. K Logan had me laughing smiling, in complete suspence and in tears. totally satisfying read (listen).

Predictable and trite

Very cliché and one dimensional. A bit of a cringe, with unbelievable characters and a simple story line.

Disappointing

Given the premise this should have been great. I found it very clichéd and shallow. The characters could have been vastly developed, the descriptive nature of the surroundings, in particular the Oregon trail, should have evoked astounding scenery and the trials of the jpurney.
I felt the author was so keen to get to the point of the story, she forgot the story.
