Yay! I liked this book a lot. Fun, interesting, and well written.
A longer review will be posted on C-Spot Reviews after the book is released but it mostly says the same thing.
Thanks BSB and NetGalley!

aluhealz's review against another edition

This wasn't a bad book, but I feel like calling it a romance is a little bit misleading. I felt like the relationship aspect was squeezed in and didn't really add anything to the story. I felt it had more of an "adventure" aspect too it that I enjoyed. (Though I did find the pacing a little off and tried to hurry through some parts.)

Fire Truck, what a mad ride this was!
After an experiment gone wrong, Jamie Maddox finds herself jumping through time and inhabiting the body of Blanche Nottingham, lady-in-waiting for Queen Elizabeth I in the year 1560. Suddenly she needs to cope with an unfamiliar life, an unfamiliar body, an unfamiliar time and - if that wasn't enough - a murder plot. Jamie thinks she is having a mental breakdown as she is struggeling to get a handle on things.
Doing a solid, believable time travel story is not easy but Catherine Friend has done a tremendous job keeping everything tied together as we jump from the present to Elizabethan times and back again. I loved her characters, the way she vividly described 16th century London and life at court. It was as if I could almost smell the unwashed bodies ;-)
The author kept me on the edge of my seet from beginning to end. I would have loved to see an epilogue but only because parting was such sweet sorrow.
5 Royal Stars!
