About this listen

Years ago while vacationing in Scotland, Katherine St. Claire believed she'd found the love of her life. She shared a night of passion with a stranger, in a hotel castle called Duncreag. But come morning, her lover had disappeared. And she has spent the last eight years trying to convince herself it was all a dream...

Living in the 15th century, Iain Mackintosh remains haunted by the memory of his greatest love. Eight years ago, she disappeared, leaving behind a cairngorm earring as the only evidence of her existence. Iain's family wants him to stop pining for this fantasy woman and submit to a sensible marriage. But Katherine suddenly returns to him and reveals to him where - and when she's from...

I soo enjoyed this!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Absolutely! This was a very sweet, unique love story that you makes you feel warm and fuzzy inside.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Probably Reynolds. He was pretty tough and pretty funny.

What about Ross Pendleton’s performance did you like?

Awwww he is simply amazing. He has the most masculine, smooth voice. Like a good whiskey lol. His scottish accent was awesome. The female voices..eh not great but I could definitely tell they were female. Although I am glad he doesn't have the most beautiful feminine voice cause I think that may have distracted from the story anyway.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

It actually was. Sweet, simple but complex, and interesting.

Any additional comments?

If you are looking for a good, wholesome, love story then this is it. While it is not raunchy, it does have a few descriptive love scenes. I would recommend this book as a credit or as cash. You will not be disappointed!

I'm willing to suspend belief, but....

Would you try another book from Dee Davis and/or Ross Pendleton?

Probably not.

What do you think your next listen will be?

Hopefully someone who is more skilled at character development!

What about Ross Pendleton’s performance did you like?

He did okay with the material he was given. It's hard to bring the characters to life when the author can't be bothered to give them personalities.

Could you see Everything in Its Time being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?

This book would need an entire rewrite before going to the screen.

Any additional comments?

I had great hopes for this book and really wanted to like it. It had a couple of my favorite themes - time travel and historical Scotland. This was a poorly crafted story. We know nothing about the the hero and heroine before they're banging away like bunnies. Are we really to believe that a woman, who has never slept with anyone in her life, upon waking in a strange environment, would really jump into bed with some random guy without even getting his name first? The two characters had no real bond other than sex. Really, who pines for a one night stand for eight years?

And the use of clan tartans didn't start happening until the 1700s. There were plaids in the 1400s, but they weren't clan specific.

Anyway, this just felt more like a school girl's sexual fantasy than a novel. It was just poorly developed story line between sex scenes and it would have been SO MUCH better if it had been fleshed out a bit more.

Great Listen

This was one of those books that is just a great story with a great narrator.
I love time travelling books and this one rates right up there with Karen Marie Morning highlander series.this is the kind of book you want to curl up with a cup of coffee and a rainy day and immerse yourself in

Ross Pendleton is the BEST!

Almost every night I am lulled to sleep by the sound of his delicious voice and DeeDavis’s steamy well written novel.

Finally, honesty at the outset

Where does Everything in Its Time rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Unlike most of the dramatic action in most romances, where the protagonists don't talk honestly leading to conflict, in this series they actually tell each other and their family and friends the truth and work it out

Story was interesting…

The overall story was interesting and kept my attention. However, I found myself once again fast-forwarding through many sexually explicit encounters between the characters. There are also attempted rape, kidnapping, and assault situations which are quite detailed. I would have preferred a cleaner version without the numerous sexual encounters. After the aforementioned details, I’m put off by this selection and doubt I’ll purchase another by the author.
I gave the performance a 3-star because of the voices of the female characters. I’ve yet to hear a male narrator who is able to alter his voice enough to be a believable female. They end up sounding ridiculous. His male characters were wonderful and he managed to differentiate between them quite well.

An easy listen

A nice story that is slow to get moving but has a lot more action in the second half. Characters are OK hero is likeable heroine character could have been developed more. Narrator does get a bit annoying with doing female voices badly a female narrator would have been better!

A nice listen.

The concept of time travel is fascinating fodder for writers and readers. No matter how carefully the writer tries to cover the bases, I'm always left with those "but what about..." questions that are fun to puzzle over after the book is finished. This was simply a nice read. I really wish there was a 10pt rating system, because I have scored some much better books with four stars, but this one is better than three stars. Let's say this would be a 7 out of 10 stars.

The story gets right to it. There's a time travel love scene in the first few minutes and the rest of the book is built on that encounter. Katherine is a likeable character, but not very complex. Iain is a handsome sixteenth Scottish Laird who is kind and brave etc. You have to have a soft spot for him because he actually gets very emotional contrary to the stereotypical Scottish romance hero. The story switches back and forth from Iain's time to the present, a device that can be confusing, but I thought the author handled it quite nicely.
A secondary romance develops between Katherine's brother Jeffrey and friend Elaine. This relationship is superfluous except that it does provide a necessary link at one point.

The story comes to a nice ending and is wrapped up with a handy dandy epilogue.

The narrator does a good job providing a variety of Scottish character's as well as Katherine and Jeffrey's American voices.

This is just about the romance between characters born 500+ years apart and makes no real attempt to explain how time travel happens. There are some lapses too (this changed as a result of travel, so why didn't that..?) Those kinds of pesky little details tend to distract me, but if you can let them go and just enjoy this story, it is pleasant.
