A Stitch in Time (A Stitch in Time, #1)

3.5 stars
A time travelling romance with ghosts and unsolved disappearances/murders? Yes please. I flew through this book. Was it perfect? No. During the parts where she travels to Victorian times, well, you would barely know it based on the dialogue with people from that era. And then there were so many people with unsolved disappearances in both timelines that I got some of them mixed up in my head towards the end. But did the action/romance/plot keep me reading well past my bedtime? Yes. So for that alone I am rounding up to 4 "I want a kitten named Enigma" stars.
Additional slightly spoilery commentary for those who have read this:

I'm still waiting on my hold for this one but I am keen for it!

that sounds like just the right balance!
the bit under the spoiler tag had me rolling. yes. agree. so much. there was some cringe that I tried to push past because I wanted to root for a woman who was feeling herself but.. it was weird.

I loved every moment except for when she danced for him after their ball. Made me uncomfortable. Everything after was great though. 😉
