Synopsis

An ancient family relic, a newly discovered portal to the past—what could possibly go wrong? After a tragic childhood accident left her orphaned, Brianna O’Roarke found meaning in historical antiquities, objects and artifacts she trusts will never leave her. So, when she discovers her family’s prized possession—the centuries old Wolf Sword—is missing, she’ll stop at nothing to see it returned. Finally securing a meeting with the elusive Mr. MacTavish, who’s now asserting ownership of the sword, Brianna sets off to Scotland and her ancestral home, Dunhill Manor, in hopes of shoring up her claim, and getting her treasured legacy back. Scotland 1434—Aidan Sinclair has one last mission to complete in order to fulfill his duty—a sacred oath made to his brethren and mentor, to install the Montgomerys in what will become their family seat for centuries to come. But when he finds the mysterious Miss O’Roarke in residence upon his arrival, seeking safe passage to Dunhill, it seems his task is far from over…and perhaps, a new quest is set to begin.  As Aidan and Brianna make the journey across land and sea, two things become clear: one, their lives are somehow entwined, and have been since before they even met. And two, assumptions, especially in matters of the heart, rarely prove true, and even less so where Fate is concerned.  Return to adventure, and Medieval Scotland for another heart stopping, time travel romance in the Highland Lairds of the Crest Series—where lingering questions are answered…and new mysteries begin to unravel.Narrated by Marian Hussey, Earphones Award winner and ALA Listen List recipient for outstanding audiobook narration.

I enjoy Kim's novels, they are quick fun reads about time travel with inter-related characters from both time periods in all 5 books so far. She has two series, Highland Lairds of the Crest & the modern co-part the Montgomery Brothers. I wish she would write a little faster though!......more

This was my first Kim Sakwa's book, and won't be my last. This is the fourth book in the Lairds of the Crest series, a Steamy Scottish Historical Time Travel Romance.

The Promise is a time travel romance and the fourth book in the lairds of the crest series.

This is book 4 in Sakwa's Lairds of the Crest series. A time traveling romance read / listen. While this can be enjoyed as a standalone, which in transparency is how I listened, I do happen to think that I would have enjoyed more if done so in series order. I don't typically enjoy time travel books......more

Goodreads review by Kayla on March 11, 2025

This one is a sweet time travel, fated love book that you'll likely enjoy if you liked the show Outlander. This is book four in this series, but the first I've read of them, but it was very easy to follow along and read this one as a standalone. The fate part of this book means that everything moves......more
