The Last Killiney
Publisher Description
The Last Killiney, the first book in The Ravenna Evans Series.
On holiday in England, Ravenna Evans begins to recall her past life as an eighteenth-century Irish viscount’s lover. When she is swept back in time to relive this affair (along with Lord Killiney’s very unwilling modern counterpart), she learns that living in the past isn’t all fun and games, and that history can’t always be changed to one’s liking.

Adventure and action
I agree that the female lead character might have been less fluff; but, the character believed herself fated. So, I forgive her faults. The male picks himself up and gets it together when adventure comes knocking. I usually roll my eyes at soap operas and novellas. However, the historical edge and the adventure and action was really what got to me. Oh, yeah: So did the broken man who found himself.... Makes me laugh, but this is one book (edited for content and quality) I could like to see produced into a professional movie that guys and gals like equally.
In love with the characters and locations
I have fallen in love with the characters and settings of this series. Thud present day settings and how the past locations fit in so well with the reincarnation is awe inspiring. As you read this you feel yourself being drawn in as if your standing in the same room watching this unfold around you. The emotions of the characters are absorbed and you begin to feel then as you would feel for friends going through this type of ups and downs. You want love to conquer and true friendship to show itself. You cheer for the virtuous the kindhearted and your disappointed when others let their greed and fears drive them. Even in this fair tale setting you can find it relatable to relationships you have in your real life and how your dreams carry you through the trials and tribulations of each day. Her character strength is inspiring
Ok/good
Interesting story line, but it did drag on especially in the middle. The characters were annoying at times - Elizabeth/Raveena were like live sick teenagers (barf) and I just wanted to smack Elizabeth up side the head cuz she's such an idiot!
