A disgruntled heiress and a sexy Scottish laird are drawn together by a determined ghost whose love—and magic—reach beyond the grave.
Siobhan Macquire looked for the right man all her life—someone who’d love her, not her money. Heiress to a whiskey fortune, she attracted a string of men out to drain her for everything they could get. Her last boyfriend was no exception. Despondent about being used—again—she goes for a walk in the Highlands to think things through, determined to alter her pick-a-loser pattern.
She wanders alone for hours with the weather steadily growing worse—except there don’t seem to be any nearby villages anymore. Soaking wet and scared, she’s relieved when someone calls out to her, and a stunning man emerges from the mist. Except when she looks closer, there’s a whole lot wrong. His kilt is way too long, and he talks with an archaic accent.
Is it possible she’s not only lost in the countryside, but also in time?
Shadows in Time is a fairly short, quick and satisfying read. I’ve come to expect magical reads and out of this world themes from Ms. Gimpel. She hasn’t failed to deliver yet. Shadows in Time brings heiress Siobhan “Sam” Macquire back to the highlands of 1790. You would think a trip in time would be magical enough. Not so. Perhaps it’s just what this groundless heiress needs to find direction in her life. All of her money and degrees certainly aren’t doing the trick. Neither are the countless scores of men who pursue her for her wealth. Is it too much to ask for just one that loves her for herself? Then a walk through the soggy marshes of Scotland during a very unnatural storm drop her into the arms of a man who will haunt her days and nights with longing. But does he want her in turn?
Laird Aidan MacTavish isn’t your standard highland Laird. A Druid, his life is immersed in magic from the care of his lands to his people. He is the steward of their well-being. His dreams are haunted by his beloved fae wife, Moira and she has a message for him… it’s time to move on from grieving and take a new wife. Well, as soon as he’s figured out how to return his visitor from the twentieth century to her own time he’ll get right on that. But lord it’s hard to ignore this slip of a woman in her breeks. And, as good as she feels in his arms he knows that to dally there might forever ruin her chances to return home if she forms any connections in this time. But avoidance isn’t going to provide a solution to Moira’s meddling. But perhaps love will.
What greater gift can a ghost give the man that means everything to her than a future with someone that will love him with everything in her? Definitely worth a search through the shadows in time to find just the right woman. Shadows in Time is a wonderful blend of paranormal, fantasy and romance you’ll surely enjoy.

Author Spotlights“Later.” Now was all Ravi cared about. Later was for regrets and logic and awkward dining. Right now was for discovering the taste of Tristan’s skin, for shivering as the roughness of stubble abraded his tongue, for pulling Tristan’s hips flush against his own.

Review: Middleman by Jayne Rylon
GLBTQ RomanceIt’s finally and instantly clear to me. The reason I’ve never felt wholly complete or satisfied is because I haven’t been doing this relationship thing right. Not with Cortez and not even with Rogan. I’m not a top. I’m not a bottom. I was born to be their middleman.
