Bound Across Time is intrigued with the title. The description also pulled me in. Who doesn't like a bit of paranormal with historical fiction mixed in? I was surprised by something I usually do not read, which brings in some magic. 

Bound Across Time stands out with its unique blend of historical fiction, time travel, or 'time slip 'elements. The inclusion of a female main character, a rarity in this genre, adds a refreshing perspective to the narrative. Complementing her, a male main character brings depth to the story. The book's initial promise of a mix of paranormal romance and historical fiction is a unique combination that it successfully delivers on.

Though most of the story takes place in the castle and its grounds, I like that the author included a bit of witchcraft and soulers. Though the book's pace at the beginning is a bit slow, it does pick up and get more interesting when things happen without FMC and our MMC meeting each other.

Bound Across Time masterfully weaves a tantalizing mystery into its narrative, keeping the reader on the edge of their seat. The FMC's initial ignorance of her family history adds a layer of intrigue, and as the story unfolds, her research on a young man who is a ghost leads to unexpected and fascinating revelations. This element of suspense is a major draw for readers interested in historical fiction with a paranormal twist.

CeCe wants to go to Wales to use her history degree. What she finds is different from what she expected. The plot is excellent. However, I was unsure if CeCe found out who she was in the plot. But it was good nonetheless. Mixing in love, witchcraft, and a little magic was good. I enjoyed it and will read more about it. The ending has me wanting more. I would have liked to hear more about CeCe and her lover.

This book may be your ally if you love witchcraft and historical fiction with a paranormal romance. I was craving to find out more about CeCe and what happened at the end. I wanted more, and there is a bit of explicit sex in this book, but nothing to offend anyone. Does CeCe and her lover have sons or not, or does CeCe have a big family? You will need to find out by reading.
