About the Book:
While horseback riding in the English countryside,
sisters, Electra and Emily Crippen find themselves trapped in a tear in time.
Thrown back to 1357 England and caught by a local noble, they are in a place
that is home but as frightening and unfamiliar as an alien world would be. With
no idea how the tear in time came about, the one thing they do know is: they
must stay together and stay near to where the event took place in hopes of
discovering the way back to their modern life. That certain need to stay
together is the first certainty taken from them when one sister is forced to
remain in England and one is sent miles away to Wales by royal order.
There is one other hope for help the sisters don’t know
exists. It’s Electra’s lover, Roger Marchand. A time traveler himself, he never
told her of his past. When he realizes what has happened to the sisters, he
enlists the help of a scientist friend to help him open the suspected
passageway through time. Any effort to save Electra and Emily will likely cost
him his life. This was the time Roger came from, a time when his country,
France, was at war with England. If he is discovered on English soil while
searching for the sisters, he will either be killed or taken prisoner of war.
Any risk is worth saving the life of the woman he loves.

My Review:
When I first read the book description of ‘In Time For
You’ I was immediately interested in reading this book. A book about knights
and medieval England sounds like a great read to me. And since I loved Chris
Karlsen’s writing in her book ‘Silk’, I couldn’t wait to start reading this
one.

Although ‘In Time For You’ is already the fourth book in
the Knights in Time series, it can be read as a standalone. (Which is a good
thing since I haven’t read the previous books either.)

‘In Time For You’ really was a very entertaining and
intriguing read. From the very beginning I was completely pulled into the
story. It was especially fun to read the way the sisters Electra and Emily
responded when they found themselves in 1357. At first they were convinced they
were a part of a strange real-life program for TV. And this made for some very
funny scenes.

Chris Karlsen sure knows how to write a book that keeps
you hooked. There was adventure, romance, historical aspects and of course time
travelling. This book just didn’t get boring.

Although there is a lot of talk about the romance between
Electra and Roger, I enjoyed the romance between Emily and her medieval knight
Simon much more. It was fun to read about Electra and Roger and how they found
each other again. But the starting romance of Emily and Simon was just so sweet
and also really funny since Simon wasn’t used to a woman taking the lead. And I
really loved the characters of Emily and Simon. Especially Simon since he was
such a tough, but also very sweet knight.

‘In Time For You’ really is a humorous, romantic and
historical time traveling story I enjoyed from the very first page. This book
really made me wish I also read the previous three books in the series. Not
that I missed information to get into the story, but I think I would have loved
this book even more if I was a part of it from the very beginning.

I also had a view minor issues with how the book went in
the end. It felt a little rushed to me while the rest of the book was very
detailed. And I really wished I could have read a little more about Emily and

About the Author:
I was born and raised in Chicago. My father was a history
professor and my mother was, and is, a voracious reader. I grew up with a love
of history and books. My parents also love traveling, a passion they passed
onto me. I wanted to see the places I read about, see the land and monuments
from the time periods that fascinated me. I’ve had the good fortune to travel
extensively throughout Europe, the Near East, and North Africa.

I am a retired police detective. I spent twenty-five
years in law enforcement with two different agencies. My desire to write came
in my early teens. After I retired, I decided to pursue that dream. I write
three different series. My paranormal romance series is called, Knights in
Time. My romantic thriller series is Dangerous Waters. The newest is The
Bloodstone Series. Each series has a different setting and some cross time
periods, which I find fun to write.

I want to thank Maureen's Books for taking the time to read and review In Time For You and especially for the lovely review. I am hearing a lot about Simon and Emily from readers. I will certainly consider bringing them back, if I do another book in the series.
