From Amazon:

Love comes when least expected.
Nobody would blame widowed doctoral student Eliza James for giving up on Happily Ever After; at twenty-nine, she’s suffered more loss than most people do in a lifetime. But Eliza’s convinced her own hero is still out there, waiting for her, just like in the beloved romance novels she devours. Every girl deserves a Darcy, right?

Only Eliza doesn’t dream of a modern-day affair: she wants the whole Regency experience. When a magical manuscript thrusts her back two hundred years into the arms and life of one Deveric Mattersley, Duke of Claremont, however, Eliza soon realizes some fantasies aren’t all they’re cracked up to be, especially when her duke proves himself less than a Prince Charming.

Deveric Mattersley has no interest in women, much less marriage. Determined to atone for his sins after convincing himself he's at fault for the death of his first wife, he decrees himself content to focus on running his family’s estates, and on raising his son–until the mysterious Mrs. James appears. Who is she? What does she want? And why does she make Dev’s blood run hot in a way no woman ever has?

Can a man with a past and a woman from the future forge a love for all time?

the idea of the modern day woman time traveling to the past to a created character is simply fascinating!

Thank you to the author for providing me a copy of the book in exchange for a review.

First of all, AMAZING book! I loved the idea Ms. Margaret has presented here and in the beginning, it all felt very fictional and completely unrealistic and I didn't like it, but the more I wondered and thought about it, the more I read, I fell in love with it and grasped the idea of a fictional book. The way the author had explained everything was beautiful and a second chance at love was a great topic to write on. I especially enjoy reading historical romance so the shift from the modern era to the past era was very unique and interesting. I loved the twists and the surprises along the ride.

SPOILER ALERT.

For example, when she asked her friend to write a character for her, he wasn't married but when Eliza went there, not only Mr. Deveric was married but his wife had died and he had a son too! It gave me quite a shock. Also I loved how she was able to come through his barriers and get everyone around her to like her, fit in. The character I loved the most from this book was of Lady Amara and I really look forward to her life and her story. The flow of the story was perfect, there was nothing that seemed missing or awkward. The characters were very realistic and because of this book, I found a sudden interesting in writing historical romance myself! (less)
