Turning Back Time

A Sweet Romance (A Crestfield Inn Novel, Book 1)

By: Elsie Davis

Narrated by: Rachel Butler

Sarah is on a mission…discover the truth by unraveling the past.

All her life, stories had been told - handed down from generation to generation. Captain Tremont had gone to his watery grave committing a crime…bootlegging. But a message discovered in her grandmother’s trunk addressed to her great-grandfather six times removed, leads Sarah to believe there is another explanation. Intent on discovering the truth, her plan has the added bonus of providing material for her next novel and she travels to Cedar Grove, Vermont.

Blake loves history and that includes his family tree. A quest to fill in the missing links has him back in the early 1800s. When he discovers Sarah researching the same time period, he offers to team up, and she accepts. Strictly business, of course.

But as they wind their way through history, it would seem there are some strange things happening when the resident ghost gets involved. Sometimes, loves needs a helping hand....

Romance with a twist

A sweet story of genealogy lovers searching their past and finding their future.
The reading of the story was great! Good pace and the talent to draw the audience into imagining the characters by their voices.

History creates true love!

There is nothing better than a good love story. I love romance, and I love history, so Elsie Davis's Turning Back Time caught my interest from the very beginning! As Sarah begins her journey into her family history, she takes on the mission of clearing her long distance relative's name. She meets Blake as she literally bumps into him, breaking an antique lamp, not the first impression anyone wants. Running into him again at the library, the two find they both have an interest in family history as Blake is researching his family tree. Sarah offers to help and our romance begins. But life is never easy, and Davis throws a few curve balls into the mix. This is a fun, exciting, ghost filled story and I was lost in it. I love hearing about the stories of times past, and the way Davis weaves it all together had me enchanted. And the ending...be still my heart! I loved it!

Rachel Butler tells this fabulous story with a variety of voices, each bringing each character to life. Her voices perfectly fit each one, including the ghosts! She adds just enough nuance to give the feelings that keep me enthralled and make the listen a pleasure to hear.
