The River Of No Return, by Bee Ridgway
★★★
Synopsis: (from the book flap) Two hundred years after he was about to die on a Napoleonic battlefield, Lord Nicholas Falcott wakes up in a hospital bed in twenty-first-century London. The Guild, a secretive fraternity of time travelers, helps him make a new life in the modern world. They tell him that there is no return. But Nick yearns for home and for one beautiful woman in particular, now lost to history.
Back in 1815, that very woman, Julia Percy, finds herself the guardian of a family secret inherited from her enigmatic grandfather...how to manipulate time. But there are those who seek to possess Julia's power, and she begins to realize she is in the gravest peril.
The Guild's rules are made to be broken, and Nick discovers how to travel back to the nineteenth century and his ancestral home. Fate and the fraying fabric of time draw Nick and Julia together once again...soon enough, they are caught up in an adventure that puts the future into their hands.
Love endures the gulf of centuries...and so does danger. As gripping as it is evocative and fast paced, The River Of No Return is a tale of lovers who match wits and gamble their hearts against the rules of time itself.
In A Sentence: An enjoyable read but not amazing.
