Love Beyond Compare: Book 5 of Morna's Legacy (Scottish Time Travel Romance)

I was too pumped when I realized that book 5 of Morna's Legacy was released. Of course I purchased, downloaded and read right away. Bethany Claire did not let me down.  

No villain here; just character struggles and the question of fate.  The characters stood in their own way.  They overcame a questionable tragedy to see a happy ending. I had moments of laughter and moments of tears.

I liked Jane's character; she showed maturity and understanding while struggling to find her place in the 17th century. Adwen, on the other, was cocky and full of himself; at least that's how he appeared. I love when characters aren't always as they appear to be. And I loved watching Adwen grow; slowly at first and then tragedy pushing him to take the last steps.

Again, If you love time travel and romance, then this series is a must read. If you fell in love with little Cooper, then this is another chance to spend some time with him.   

My only complaint is the lack of time spent in the 21st century. Morna made a short appearance leading the characters to NYC. While the trip made sense, I expected the characters to at least visit their family.

I fell in love with Orick. He was Adwen's right hand man. He is featured in the epilogue, so of course I pre-ordered book 6. Patiently awaiting April 28th, 2015...

Book Description:

She left her whole world behind to find the one thing that really matters.

Jane Mitchell has many dreams for her life, but living in the seventeenth century was never one of them. Unknowingly transported through time by the meddling witch, Morna, Jane chooses to stay in the past so she can remain in her beloved nephew's life. Castle life doesn't really suit her, and Jane quickly finds that her love for her family isn't enough to fill her hungry soul. Eager for purpose, she takes work at the village inn. One frigid evening, she takes in the most infuriating man she's ever met...never suspecting for a moment that he could be the one her soul hungers for.

Adwen MacChristy doesn't want to be laird of Cagair Castle. With a youth spent traveling the world and sleeping beneath the stars in the company of loose women, nothing weighs on Adwen's heart like knowing the life he loves is about to come to an end. He would rather spend his days as a penniless wanderer than take on the responsibilities handed to him by his father. On his last night of freedom, Adwen stops at the inn near McMillan Castle and meets the only lass to ever deny his advances, bewitching him in an instant. Suddenly, he finds himself believing that responsibility might not mean a life spent in chains if he has a fiery lass like Jane by his side.

Will Jane allow herself to fall for a man who is the very embodiment of the reckless life she left behind, or will fate make the decision for her when it sends her through time once again?
