Publisher's Summary:
Morgan Hayes grows up in the 20th century with a mysterious attraction to a hollow suit of armor that stands in the window of her mothers antique store. She is 24 years old when she becomes entangled within the armors metal plates and is whisked back in time, where she is mistaken for a twin sister she knows nothing about. Morgan is forced to marry King Henrys favored knight, Derek Vanguard, Lord of Braddock Hall.
Abandoned by his mother and having failed as a child to gain his fathers love, Dereks heart is as cold as the stone walls of his castle. In the end, will Morgan discover the true power of love?
Critic Reviews:
"The ending was so well written it gave me chills, and I purposely read it slowly because I didn't want the story to end. I hope there's a sequel in the not too distant future." (Caroline Fyffe, award-winning author of Where the Wind Blows and Montana Dawn)

A FAIRYTALE STORY AND FUN
I really enjoyed this time travel romance about twins Morgana and Amanda born in Medieval Britain, Morgana was sent to the future as a sick babe to hopefully find a cure for her. Then, when she is 24, she's sent back in time and meets Lord Derek Vanguard and is mistakenly understood to be Amanda, her twin sister who is betrothed to Derek by the King but who had escaped.
It was a funny enjoyable romantic tale about Knights and castles and dreams coming true, no it wasn't 'historically acurate' but I don't think it was supposed to be, so don't look too deeply into this book - it's pure escapism and it's an easy listening fun romp through time.
I thought the narrator did a great job and didn't speak too fast for me but if you're concerned then sample her voice first..
Worth my credit? Yes, I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Refreshing, Fun and a Nice Escape
A very different kind of audio book for me, but really enjoyable . . .time travel . . . kings and jousting matches . . . the story is well written, and I quickly got very attached to the characters . . .The modern day/centuries old fairy tale was a sweet story of much human value ... children growing up yearning for the love and nurture of their parents . . . and the way it all unfolds is unexpected and wonderful.
This book is one of the best
Love this book.
It's fun and worth your time and money or credit.
The narrator is just great, and makes the book alive.
OMG! Ten Stars! Just get the book!
I am so surprised at how good this book is and the narrator was exceptional. Time travel, magic, adventure, love, all the right characters in place. I loved the whole book. Believe me, you won't go wrong with this one. I have to say, Audible, give Katherine Kellgren a RAISE!! She is the best! Wonderful job. Now, stop reading this and get the book people!
Enjoyable enough listen
Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?
I would have until the last act. I feel the author's desire to prolong the couple getting together ultimately made the story suffer and I became too annoyed with the male character's refusal to see anything beyond his own bitterness. After he turned her away the last time I knew that whatever ultimate HEA ending was coming was not going to be satisfying to me anymore.
How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?
Trying not to give anything away.
