Critic reviews

"Ms Livingstone has proved her worth as a creditable, skilled, and entertaining writer." (Mary Chapple, Discovering Diamonds Blogspot)

A sweet account

I enjoyed listening to this audiobook. It was a charming little story that would be suitable for all audiences. I liked the setting and the characters, but I found the time-slip premise to be illogical, even for what it is, and the annual delivery to be rather trite and uncompelling. Lovely setting, not much of a plot. Nevertheless, it was a sweet, cozy tale that ended all too quickly. Great to soothe the nerves before bedtime, perhaps.

A true Time Travel Story

This was a Medieval time travel story. This was not a romance but more of a family story. I very much enjoyed it.
I do enjoy this time period. I love reading about the history of the period.

Jessie Hart did a great job with the narration.

I would listen to another book by this author and narrator.

I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

Medival time travel story.

Cute time travel story set in medival times. When Marion feels the pull of a tree at the beach she suddenly is in the 1100's. Some believe that people time travel for a reason. Do you? Read this story and see. Jessie Hart did a good job of narrating this book.

was given to me for free at my request and I provided this voluntary review.

A very satisfying story and performance.

It always takes a few minutes to acclimatize oneself to the pace and sound of a spoken book, but it was not long before Out of Time settled into a comfortable pace, well balanced between setting, dialogue, and action. The plotting was enjoyable, with enough surprises to satisfy. The narrator did a good job handling this tale, as well. This spoken book is not too large nor too small. It is just right.
