This is a fairly typical piece of historical romantic wish-fulfillment, and that isn't a genre I particularly like. Nonetheless, it was well executed, if unchallenging, and the central time-travel premise was interesting!

I found it irritating that the central character went from ‘multi-millionaire author' to ‘extremely wealthy doctors wife' to ‘landed gentry' which sat uncomfortably alongside the Irish War of Independence and formation of the IRA... but this I guess is the nature of historical romance, where history is used as an exotic backdrop more than anything we should be challenged with. And as an example of historical romance it was done well.
