When Maggie Mitchell, is transported to the thirteenth century Highlands will Laird Logan Carr help mend her broken heart or put it in more danger than before?
Generous, kind, and loving, Maggie nearly always puts the needs of others first. So when a mysterious elderly woman gives her an extraordinary pocket watch, telling her it’s a conduit to the past, Maggie agrees to give the watch a try, if only to disprove the woman’s delusion.
But it works.
Maggie finds herself in the thirteenth century Scottish Highlands, with a handsome warrior who clearly despises her. Her tender soul is caught between her own desire and the disaster she could cause for others. Will she find a way to resolve the trouble and return home within the allotted sixty days? Or will someone worthy earn her heart forever?
All of the Pocket Watch Chronicles are complete stand alone stories and can be read in any order.
The Pocket does not contain explicit love scenes. If you prefer more steam than that, you might be disappointed.

”aciduously”. Seriously? right at the beginning if chapter 1, “Maggie had aciduously avoided all of the Danvers.”Her father’s dire financial straits would not have prevented either Maggie or Paige from seeking higher education. A full professor is entitled to tuition assistance for his or her children, which often includes a free ride to the employing institution. At Georgetown University, a janitor recently retired after all four of his children obtained their university degrees on full scholarshios as dependents of a full time employee. Unlikely that a full professor at Princeton would be accorded any less.
Another major deterrent was interspersing Maggie’s consistent use of “ye” in the same sentence as multiple contractions, which did not come into common use until much later. Gertrude had told Maggie she would speak in the parlance of the time.
Nor were pocket watches in use at the time. That alone could have supported Maggie’s story if she feared that she wouldn’t be believed.
Finally, is it really consistent that such a selfless person as Maggie, who gave up all her hopes and dreams to care for her father and sister would decide to remain in the past only to put her family through the tragedy of her own death? Because the person with whom she exchanged souls was due to die in either her own time or Maggie’s.
Would have given it two stars for effort but for the aciduously really set the tone.
So, no. Cannot recommend

The Pocket Watch The Pocket Watch Chronicles edition by Ceci Giltenan Romance eBooks Reviews
Maggie Mitchell is devastated when the love of her life marries another woman. She meets Gertrude who offers her a chance to be somebody else with the use of a pocket watch.
This is a story about time travel through soul exchange. It's based on the theory that you can go back in time and exchange Souls with somebody who is just about to die. By entering that person's body to extend their life.
I really enjoyed this story more than I thought I would. It kind of reminds me of The Travelers but not exactly. Maggie stays in the past originally because she thinks she can help. However once she falls in love with Logan she decides she's not going back.
Maggie's a practicing nurse with a servant's heart, always choosing the needs of others before her own. So when she's given just too much of herself, a tearful time in the public gardens brings her a mysterious, caring old woman. With a magical pocket watch. She gets one chance to live another's life, to forget her heartache and possibly find something better, and if she doesn't like it, she can return home, within the respected time frame. What she finds is something both magical and rough because the young lady whose body she's taken was not at all a pleasant thing. She's got a reputation to redo, a whole new world to adapt to, but most of all, a man to love... and keep. But she needs to be sure that it's her he loves, and not Lady Margaret, because if she can't be true to herself, is it really worth staying?
This was a quick read that I enjoyed a lot. It'd be a five-star rating if I were move convinced of them falling for each other beyond kindness and physical attraction, but the romance grew on me after a while so it wasn't that big a deal. Otherwise, I'd recommend this. It's fast, writing's good, and the characters were overall enjoyable.
I love this type of time travel romance. A modern woman not happy with her modern circumstance and is whisked back in time to meet a handsome man from the past. Maggie meets an elderly woman at her ex boyfriends wedding and asks for a different life. The life she is given is Margaret's in 1270, Scotland and Margaret hers. She meets up with Callum the Laird of his clan and boy is he handsome. Maggie has the opportunity to come home anytime in 60 days and Maggie compared herself to Cinderella. The sweetness and magic of the story did remind me of a Cinderella type of story. Maggie arrives on top of a galloping horse and is thrown and hurts herself. Callum is not pleased and seems to Maggie that Margaret is not well liked.
Maggie is shocked how rude and mean Margaret was by the responses to her of not only Callum but the townsfolk. Maggie is embarrassed by this behavior and wants to show that she is a nicer "Margaret". I love when the heroine is vilified in the beginning of the story and then later befriended and even loved by all around her. We get to see the very sweet romance of the betrothed Callum and Maggie. It was believable and endearing. In true old fashioned form they did not consummate their relationship until they married and that was even PG rated if that. Although I was saying awww... and gobbled up this book in one afternoon, I would have liked to see a bit more physical affection between them. However, still a sweetly written good time travel romance that I would recommend.
