I thoroughly enjoyed [b:A Stitch in Time|53447303|A Stitch in Time (A Stitch in Time #1)|Kelley Armstrong|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1589940231l/53447303._SY75_.jpg|78491977], so I couldn't wait to read this! You can read either story as a standalone but I think they're better together and in order. This story is solely from Rosalind's point of view and (in my mind) I read the whole story in a rushed voice — in a good, but thrilling way. After all, Rosalind accidentally gets sucked into the 21st Century and trapped for 4 years, unable to get back to her husband and son. She's a survivor, though! The story focuses on her desperate attempts to get back to her time and reunite with her family... and then how she breaks the news to them. I'm on the fence about whether or not I wanted to read more about her time in the 21st Century because all I wanted was to read about that moment when she faces August (her husband) again in their time. So I think the amount that was included was enough. There are some parts where they joke about stories or things that happen in the future and those bits filled up that gap for me.
Compared to [b:A Stitch in Time|53447303|A Stitch in Time (A Stitch in Time #1)|Kelley Armstrong|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1589940231l/53447303._SY75_.jpg|78491977], this story focuses less on the world building and how the time stitch works. The romance is also less steamy although Rosalind & August are clearly not shy. I think I just wanted them to interact more... This is considered a gothic romance novel and I think it's my new favorite genre to dive into. Overall, I enjoyed it and recommend it if you like romance, historical, mystery, ghosts and — of course — time travel. It's a good fall read.
