The Ruby Brooch Time Travel Romance The Celtic Brooch Series Book 1 edition by Katherine Lowry Logan Romance eBooks

SPOILERS: I love a good time travel story. This one is fairly good. The means of time travel is a ruby brooch, and the history of the brooch is not really explained. But there are other books in this series so maybe it is explained more later. I enjoyed the story and will read the other books, although I am much more interested in the time travel and historical period than the sex. Now here's to the criticism: I don't mind a good romance but can do without the play by play description of the sex. You've seen one nipple, you've seen them all. Except for the heroine of course. I'm sure her nipples are the best. Because this heroine is not only a time traveler. She's also an expert horsewoman and jockey, brown belt in karate, an expert in classical music and literature, a trained paramedic, AND she even performed vascular surgery even though she's not a surgeon. Oh yeah and she's a sketch artist too. And beautiful. And rich. So, in other words way over the top. She's Super Woman. And thank goodness she brought a pregnancy test with her on the Oregon trail. Because of course she knew she would need that although her fiancé was dead and she had no romantic prospects to her knowledge.

Now with all that being said, I did enjoy the story and I will try the other two books in the series and see where the brooch takes us next.

The Ruby Brooch Time Travel Romance The Celtic Brooch Series Book 1 edition by Katherine Lowry Logan Romance eBooks Reviews

I really enjoyed this novel and the way the author wove the plot in and out of time, where the heroine and her family planned their lives around a special time travel enabling Ruby Brooch, was really interesting and rang differently from other time travel romances. I liked, too, that the heroine had unprotected sex and then got pregnant, which is what happens. I like my reality and fantasy mixed and this novel gave me heaps of interesting Oregon Trail detail as well as a delightful and satisfying romance.
Can't wait to read the others. A captivating love story of time travel from 1800's to 2012. A fascinating weaving of the two times into a good story. Life in the Oregon Trail is tough but even more so for one from the 21st century. Could I survive?
Today I read the Time Travel Romance “The Ruby Brooch,” by Katherine Lowry Logan. The main character, Kitherina MacKlenna (Kit) survived a car crash on New Years Eve that killed both of her parents as well as her fiance. On this particular day, she received a letter that her father had left for her should something happen to him before he could tell her the tale of her birth himself.

It seems that Kit had been left on Sean MacKlenna’s doorstep, wrapped in a bloody shawl pinned with a ruby brooch. The brooch contained an inscription that when he read it aloud, magically transported Sean back to Independence, Missouri in the year of 1852. It took him some time living in the past before he was able to figure out how to return to his own time. When he returned home, it was with a woman named Mary that he had fallen in love with and married while living in 1852.

Sean and Mary raised Kit as their own, intending to explain everything they could about her origins to her when she was old enough, knowing that someday she would likely want to find her birth family. Kit grew up learning how to do everything that she would need to know in order to survive in the past. Being raised on a highly successful horse ranch was explanation enough for her to learn to ride, to shoot, to camp and cook on a campfire, and anything else that she would someday need to know if she chose to visit 1852 without having to explain to her why she was learning these things.

After doing her own research, Kit decides that she needs to go find out the truth for herself. She packs and loads a wagon with everything she thinks she will need, including a number of modern day medical supplies so that she will be prepared for any emergency she might find herself in (though she is careful to keep anything modern well hidden). As well as the medical supplies, she also hides a modern rifle with extra ammunition as she knows there will be dangers she will likely encounter that might require more than just the period pistol that she also carries.

I was very impressed with the amount of detail in this book. Clearly the author did her research on the time period that her main character visits. She included details such as a reference to the Donner party tragedy that took place around that time on the Oregon Trail. And while she is clearly a very talented writer who made certain that her book was as well edited as it was written, I did have one issue with this book that really disturbed me.

As a romance novel, I expected there to be sex scenes. (Yes there were, and yes, they were detailed enough to make the book inappropriate for younger readers.) I only had an issue with the scene where Kit loses her virginity. That scene was so problematic for me that I don’t even know how to explain my issues with it. I even handed the book to a friend and asked her to read that scene without telling her why. The expressions on her face told me that she found it as poorly done as I did. Oddly, this was the only sex scene that I had an issue with. The others were all very well done. (And yes, there were a good number of other sex scenes in the book. It was a romance novel, after all.)

Over all, I enjoyed this book for both the time travel and the romance aspects of the story. Would I be willing to read other books by this author? Yes, especially if they are as well researched and written as this one. (Although hopefully she does a better job describing any “first experiences” that her female characters may have in those books.)
