Mystic Memories

When a fourth-grade classroom of school children spend the night aboard a refurbished nineteenth century merchant brig in Dana Point, California, one of them disappears in the night. After a three-month fruitless investigation, the distraught parents are led to private investigator, Cara Edwards, who relies on her sixth sense as much her common sense to solve a case. But when her psychic connection to the lost boy draws her back to 1833 California, she must find a way to bring them both back to the future. Captain Blake Masters has sailed the oceans of the world for nearly twenty years, never once looking back on his dark childhood memories. When Cara enters his life and opens the door to his forgotten past, can he trust her psychic insight to lead him on an uncharted course toward a destiny of love and compassion? “A wonderful time-travel romance filled with adventure and page-turning suspense. Don’t miss it.”- Kristin Hannah, New York Times bestselling author. Bell, Book & Candle: "...one of the best books I've read in a long time. Fantastic!!" Under the Covers: "...exciting, believeable, finely crafted, and has a hero and heroine worth cheering for..." Old Book Barn Gazette: "...If you don't read this book, you'll be missing out on an opportunity of a lifetime!" Rendezvous Reviews: "...the spirited tale between this exceptional couple is loaded with sensuality... [An] ingenious slant on time-travel, combined with the paranormal, makes this book complex, full of riveting emotions, historically vibrant, and a magnetic read that pulls the reader in. The spellbinding ending is just the frosting on the top." RT BOOK REVIEWS: ★★★★½ Don’t pick up this book unless you plan to stay up all night: [Gillian Doyle writing as] Susan Leslie Liepitz draws you in deep with characters so real they might come knocking at your door. Though she’d never characterize herself as such, Cara Edwards is a psychic detective. During a period reenactment, a ten-year-old boy disappears on a restored 19th-century sailing ship and the boy’s father turns to Cara. Fearing the media frenzy, Cara at first refuses to help but finds herself fighting off physical pain until she agrees to use her powers. Having taken the case, she tries another reenactment. On the Mystic, as Cara prepares for her turn at watch, the wall near her bunk opens. She enters the portal and walks through to 1833—still aboard the ship—where a storm is brewing. The command to “batten down the hatches” comes too late and Cara and Captain Blake Masters, a guest on the 1833 Mystic, are washed ashore. When Blake realizes Cara—even dressed as she is—is no young boy, he goes along with her tale of a young widow in search of her son. He is a true hero—very human in spite of being handsome; compassionate yet practical; and realistically frustrating at times. Gillian Doyle chooses words exquisitely in her sensual prose. The transitions in time are plausible and the author’s take on how people perceive life after death touches the heart. This is a mystical story, woven well. Everything about it strokes the senses, giving the imagination a curl-your-toes workout. From Publishers WeeklyA prologue involving the 1815 salvaging of a "cursed" ship sets the pace for this rambling, often confusing, time traveler by the author of This Time Forever. After a lengthy decision-making process, aimed, it seems, at establishing the heroine's background and bona fides, PI and psychic Cara Edwards agrees to help find a 10-year-old boy who vanished during a field trip aboard a 19th-century schooner. Dressed as one of the crew, Cara attempts to recreate the events leading up to the boy's disappearance, only to find herself propelled to the year 1833 and into the arms of rakish captain Blake Masters. As Cara and Blake spend the next six months sailing the ancient seas searching for (and finding) the missing child, Cara uses her gift to help Blake come to terms with his horrific past, a past eerily connected to the present. Excessive theorizing about time travel and psychic abilities slows down the final pages and leads to a convoluted ending that stretches credibility to the limit. Copyright 1998 Reed Business Information, Inc. ReviewPsychic private investigator Cara Edwards is hired to find ten-year-old Andrew Charles. Andrew was with his class for an overnight educational experience aboard the Mystic when he suddenly and inexplicably vanished without a trace. In order to get on the ship and not look suspicious, Cara trains vigorously for a week and dresses in nineteenth century costume to become part of the crew. She is about to take her turn on the watch but instead she travels through a time portal and winds up on the Mystic in 1833. Captain Blake Masters comes to her aid and, after Cara partially explains her situation, he agrees to take her to San Diego. Though Blake has doubts about Cara and her story, he experiences her psychic abilities when they become lovers. During their quest to find Andrew, Cara and Blake share some wild adventures and after rescuing Andrew, Blake makes an astonishing discovery about himself. Cara isn't sure how time travel works. Will she be able to bring Andrew to 1998 and what about Blake? Will she only have her memories of him to take with her? This is a nice, easy read and if you enjoy time travel and the super natural, you're in for a double treat! Ms. Liepitz has skillfully penned a pleasing new romance you won't want to miss! She is a wonderful new voice in romantic fiction! Wild adventures and passion on the high seas will keep you entertained! A delightful time travel! A divine romance!
