It was just one night at a Victorian B&B. Until they woke up in 1857.

Collette Donaldson never should have taken her boyfriend to her cousin’s wedding. Or introduced him to her parents. After a disastrous weekend, all she wants is to get back home and sort out the mess that had once been their relationship. A heartbreaking fight, a flat tire, and an inconvenient storm force her and Seth to stay the night at a quaint bed and breakfast. But when Collette finds an antique photograph of herself, circumstances quickly shift from weird to unimaginable.

Seth Stone was ready to propose. Now he isn’t sure if he and Collette even have a relationship. People he’d never want to be his in-laws, an irritable girlfriend, and now he has to spend the night in a creepy old Victorian inn. He should have never wondered how things could possibly get worse. When they wake up stranded on a wagon train in 1857, Seth is determined to get home. But the only way to get out of the past is to face the problems stealing their future.

♥ The Back Inn Time series short novels are fun, faith-filled stories of what it might be like to suddenly experience life in a different time. These clean historical romances are packed with humor and adventure. Perfect for fans of dual timeline or time slip stories and Christian historical romance, these books answer the question every historical fiction fan wonders—what would it be like if I went back to that time? If you enjoy the wholesomeness of Amish, Western, or frontier fiction and adore romantic comedies, then a visit to a seaside Victorian inn where you can “step back inn time and leave your troubles behind!” is for you.

my point of view:

What a fun new series this is turning out to be! I am excited to have a time travel series, as this has always been a genre I thought was entertaining. I am used to the one character going back (or forward) in time to meet their soul mate, so this story was out of the “norm” for me where both the characters are thrust back in time and have to learn how to acclimate into their new life. At least they have each other to lean on and learn from…although there is a huge learning curve for both of them.

I must admit, I have always thought I was born ‘in the wrong time’ , probably why these stories appeal to me, but in all honesty, this author gives us what feels like a true account of traveling on a wagon train! Little things we don’t think twice about can have sever implications in another time…truly this book is a lot of fun, but also gives you a new perspective of life in the 1800s. It also has a sweet romance at the center of it all, giving the characters a true look at their partner and what to expect from one another when the going gets tough!

I am seriously looking forward to more in this delightful series from Stephenia McGee!
