Publisher's Summary

This brooch saga begins July 14, 1789, the day French revolutionaries stormed the Bastille! And America’s ambassador to France, Thomas Jefferson, comes to Sophia Orsini's rescue....

Sophia Orsini, a time-traveling Italian artist, believes she understands how the pearl brooch magic works, but when it abandons her in the middle of an 18th century Paris mob, she realizes she was wrong. 

America’s ambassador to France, Thomas Jefferson, comes to Sophia’s rescue, but that meeting leads her down a path she otherwise wouldn’t have chosen.

Kevin Fraser and his pregnant wife, JL, fly in his Cessna to enjoy a weekend at Mallory Plantation in Virginia, but wind shear turns Kevin's textbook landing into a disaster and the plane through a chain-link fence, injuring JL and sending her into premature labor. 

Pete Parrino, VP of Global Security for MacKlenna Corporation, is in Florence on business when he stumbles upon Sophia Orsini’s art studio. Sophia is the love of Pete’s life, and he hasn’t seen or heard from her in 20 years. When he discovers she hasn’t returned from her annual two-week holiday, he breaks into her studio and finds evidence that she’s a time traveler.

When the clan discovers where she is, Pete, Matt Kelly, and Jack Mallory must decide how much of America’s history they’re willing to change in order to bring Sophia back to the future.

Accents

The story was good but the Scottish accents were pitiful.
I cringed each time I heard it.

Spoiled by narration

Loved the narrator for the earlier books in the series. I found it really hard to listen to this narrator. The Scottish accents especially were just awful. Thankfully I see the next books are with another narrator or I wouldn’t bother.

The pearl broach

Enjoyed the story.
Took me a couple of chapters to start enjoying it as I was used to the other narrator. The one that had been used for the other books but overall enjoy the park.

Where is Teri Schnaubelt???

Good story, but the different accents attempted by Carolyn Lee spoilt the experience, especially the Scottish and french parts were difficult to listen to, while it was a pleasure to hear Teri Schnaubelt do them brilliantly in the previous books. Quite a disappointment.

Accents Are Not Your forte’

Initially my son and I found your accents comical. Towards the end it was frustrating. Don’t do accents it’s not your forte’.
