"Time travel on a medical mission"

Kane Edmonds is a plant specialist from the year 2429. On a mission to save lives, she travels back in time to the year 1776 in England to find an extinct plant, the dandelion, which can be used to cure a terrible virus that is killing millions in the future. Once there, she meets, falls in love with, and marries George William Frederick Alexander Wyndom, the Ninth Earl of Blackmore. When she is not teaching everyone futuristic slang, she is teaching self defense courses and making special cures for migraines to gout. And getting pregnant, something no high born lady from the future does.

George does not know what to think of his new wife. He just knows she says she is from the future, she acts very differently from women of his time, she is obsessed with finding a particular plant, and she is everything he has ever wanted in a woman, in bed and out.

The friends and family of George and Kane have several subplots going on in this book, and George and Kane make a good couple. The generation(s) gap and technology differences are not much of an issue because of the way the book is written, and the romance between Kane and George is fun. I thought this an entertaining book, written in the usual style of Jaid Black/Tia Isabella. George is an alpha male, and Kane is an alpha female who learns to deal with him because she loves him.

Rated R by Ellora's Cave.

Summary

The inhabitants of 25th century earth are dying. A deadly brain virus is taking a large death toll and it is up to one scientist to stop it. The problem for Dr. Kane Edmonds is that the one form of plant-life she believes is necessary for a cure has long been extinct, dwelling nowhere else within the solar systems except the earth's past. Kane plans for every contingency when she agrees to travel through time to hunt down the life-saving plant. Every contingency, that is, except for falling in love. When Kane meets George Wyndom, the dark and formidable Earl of Blackmore, she wonders if she'll ever be able to let him go. What Kane doesn't understand is that she has no say in the matter, for the handsome earl is determined to keep her.
