Scroll down to read my 5 STAR review of Love Lost In Time by Cathie Dunn.


Love Lost in Time
By Cathie Dunn


A reluctant daughter. A dutiful wife. A mystery of the ages.

Languedoc, France, 2018

Historian Madeleine Winters would rather research her next project than rehash the strained relationship she had with her late mother. However, to claim her inheritance, she reluctantly agrees to stay the one year required in her late mother’s French home and begins renovations. But when she’s haunted by a female voice inside the house and tremors emanating from beneath her kitchen floorboards, she’s shocked to discover ancient human bones.

The Mediterranean coast, AD 777

Seventeen-year-old Nanthild is wise enough to know her place. Hiding her Pagan wisdom and dutifully accepting her political marriage, she’s surprised when she falls for her Christian husband, the Count of Carcassonne. But she struggles to keep her forbidden religious beliefs and her healing skills secret while her spouse goes off to fight in a terrible, bloody war.

As Maddie settles into her rustic village life, she becomes obsessed with unraveling the mysterious history buried in her new home. And when Nanthild is caught in the snare of an envious man, she’s terrified she’ll never embrace her beloved again.

Can two women torn apart by centuries help each other finally find peace?

Love Lost in Time is a vivid standalone historical fiction novel for fans of epoch-spanning enigmas. If you like dark mysteries, romantic connections, and hints of the paranormal, then you’ll adore Cathie Dunn’s tale of redemption and self-discovery. 


Oh, my giddy aunt! Stop what you are doing, put down that book you are reading and let me tell you all the reasons why you should read Love Lost in Time by Cathie Dunn.

The writing is an absolute marvel. The plotline keeps you hooked from start to finish. The characters are brilliantly portrayed. The historical backdrop is depicted with astonishing accuracy. The meticulous historical detail brought the story to life, and the antagonists sent a shiver down my spine. The presence of paranormal phenomena was enough to make me shudder. It is a duel timeline - who doesn’t like a duel timeline?! Love Lost in Time is a captivating tale filled with hidden mysteries, passionate love stories, and exciting revelations. In other words, it is simply brilliant.

I could go on and on about this book. It is so amazingly good that I am going to read it again as soon as I have finished writing this review! This is definitely one of those sit-down and-finish books, it was totally gripping. I will certainly be checking out more books by Cathie, in the future.

This book is utterly amazing, and you can find your copy over on Amazon. And get this, it is also avaliable on #KindleUnlimited. So what are you waiting for? I loved this book and I know that you will as well.
