The time travel tale takes the heroine back in time to the middle ages where she finds herself right in the center of an uprising and unexpectedly married to a knight.<\/p>\n<p>I won\u2019t elaborate on the plot because it is one best discovered for oneself. I will say that a search for a medical cure is believed to be linked to Holy Water from the past and both worlds are involved in the quest.<\/p>\n<p>Hedlund has once again written an imaginative story and has managed to insert not only a great deal of history but also some interesting facts about medical research and the competition within that field. Naturally there is romance but readers should be forewarned that the romance in this novel, although clean, \u00a0is probably a bit more sensual than usually found in books by this author.<\/p>\n<p>I am not a huge fan of time travel but Come Back to Me was well done and raised some excellent points. Not only that but it was extremely interesting and entertaining.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-18375 aligncenter size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/divider2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"317\" height=\"61\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/divider2.png 317w, https:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/divider2-150x28.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 317px) 100vw, 317px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><em>I voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book provided by Revell, a division of Baker Publishing Group.
