The story was so and so.
I did not find it as enjoyable as i had hoped.
I was just very much bored.
How far will someone go to fulfill their duty? Can love conquer all? Even time?
N. Jade Gray shows us in Raider of Her Heart a time-travel novel which takes place mostly in the present.
I like the Hero, Judson Stone, travels not only in time but in the US Midwest. Though tired and drained emotionally and physically he is charged with delivering a message in an attempt to thwart a raid on a nearby town.
Sadie Winters lives in present-day Kansas. She has a job she's good at and shares her home with Grandfather. She raises and trains miniature horses as service animals. Recovering from a failed relationship, she is finding her way again.
I enjoyed many aspects of Raider of Her Heart. Judson as a man-out-of-time is smart, capable, and a gentleman. Sadie is kind, funny, and spunky. Grandpa Walt is a great secondary character. My only gripe about him is when I realized his true age I'd expected a much older man. At sixty-eight, his portrayal was not what one would expect in this day and age. However, that said, I really like him, his kind heart, and youthful attitude.
The story moves along at a good pace, and both Sadie and Judson make life-affirming and life-changing decisions. In the end, the author raises the question I think many would wonder about if time travel were possible. Can a time traveler change the future?
I recommend the book as an enjoyable and often amusing tale. One with a satisfying love story and ending.
