Ramsay Chadwick has grown accustomed to the blurred ghosts that occasionally inhabit his bed. They're a minor inconvenience compared to the fact that his beautiful fiancee is flirting with another man. But the latest "ghost" to visit his room, Miss Jane Leighton, is nothing like the others. For one thing, a single touch turns her into a flesh and blood woman -- revealing substantially more flesh than would be deemed proper by the ladies of Bath. For another, this lovely, spirited creature stays in his world from dusk till dawn...and suddenly Ramsay finds himself waiting eagerly for evening...

Jane treated herself to a vacation in Bath to escape from relationships--not to play matchmaker for the most intriguing, handsome man she's ever seen. And did she happen to mention that he lived two hundred years ago, and they can only meet at night? It's a decided complication...but falling in love is proving all to easy--and letting him go will be impossible...

Five Roses!!! "This historical will keep you glued to your seat. You will be very hard pressed to set it down, I know that I was. It's been a long while since I have read a time travel of this type and I enjoyed every word. Ramsay and Jane are destined to be together, either in the past or present. ... Ms. Shawler writes her characters true-to-life. Our hero and heroine are truly charismatic and very believable. Jane has had many bad relationships, Ramsay is in the middle of one and can't seem to see and believe what is before his eyes. Ms. Shawler brings these two together with such romance and passion. You won't be disappointed!" -- Debbie, A Romance Review

Four and a Half Stars!! "Ramsay Chadwick suffers betrayal and a broken heart when he spies the tender looks between his betrothed and his closest friend. Then, some 200 years later, his ghost helps to heal the hurts of Jane Leighton in modern-day Bath. Jane is spending some time away, in a supposedly haunted bed-and-breakfast, and she ends up back in Ramsay's time--and changes her life forever. What connects them is nothing short of amazing. Yet the tables are turned rather quickly, culminating in an exciting chain of events. What transpires to bring this couple together in Leanne Shawler's often sad TOUCHED BY TIME (4 1/2) is what good romance is all about." -- Romantic Times Bookclub Magazine

"...savvy readers will delight in this touching Regency romance and enjoy it for what it is: a warm, welcoming, gothic-tinged (I kept thinking of Jane Eyre for some odd reason) work of feathery-light fiction from up-and-coming author, Leanne Shawler." -- Cheryl Jeffries, Heartstrings Reviews

"Ms. Shawler doesn't attempt to minimize the difficulty of someone from current times ending up in the past. ... an enjoyable read and showcased a talented author ..." --Leanne Davis, rakehell.com
