Summary
Former Navy SEAL meets childhood crush in 1896 New York City....
Where danger lurks, romance blooms, and old wounds surface.
When Tavis Stuart’s estranged mother calls to ask for his help, he says no until she tells him her goddaughter and Tavis’s childhood best friend, archaeologist Aislinn Kennedy, has gone missing. Then when his mother tells him Aislinn disappeared from the museum in Rome where she was working on a Greek and Roman treasure found in a North Dakota cave, he agrees to help. After consulting with Elliott Fraser, Tavis calls Gabe Moretti, a family member managing MacCorp Wineries in Italy. Gabe breaks into the museum, reviews the security tape, and discovers Aislinn found a Celtic brooch inside an artifact and disappeared in a fog. Now the clan must figure out where she went.
Aislinn Kennedy is immersed in a challenging project in Rome. While examining a white marble steatopygous from 4500 BC, she discovers an ancient brooch hidden inside the fertility figure. The brooch has a stunning bloodstone in the center engraved with a Gaelic chant. When she reads the chant aloud, she is immediately surrounded by a peat-smelling fog that takes her on a whirligig trip through space.
When she emerges from the fog, she’s in New York City in 1896, where she befriends banker Solomon Loeb, who introduces her to Police Commissioner Teddy Roosevelt. No sooner does she accept a job to work as Roosevelt’s secretary than she is reunited with Tavis, rekindling feelings they had for each in high school. Aislinn is ready to go home, but they can’t leave until they find three mysterious objects, which are also being hunted by an ancient, evil enemy set on destroying the MacKlenna Clan. It is possible the objects can’t be found, even with the expert help of two world-renowned archaeologists. And if they can’t be found, the members of the clan will never be safe again. This story contains violence, sex, and profanity.

Good Story, I Guess
I have every one of the Brooch books, and have listened to a number of them twice. The day this book came out on audio I purchased it. Every other book in the series I gave 5's to, all across the board, but this one I just can't. The story is 90% engaging but it appears the series is beginning to take a slow turn to "modern day" political issues that I find ridiculous. Also, it's like the author has decided to write more in the style of the Outlander series author-just toooo much T&A. My imagination works just fine, I don't need all the graphic details, especially since James Collen is going to, apparently, be a major character in the next book.
I hope the remaining books will be as good as the previous ones but I understand that the characters are growing, aging, and have expanding families, and likely the remaining books will be more futuristic (rather than historical) science fiction. As a history buff that is what has been so enjoyable, reading such creative stories about Abe Lincoln, Thomas Jefferson, Teddy Roosevelt, Wild Bill Hickok, Susan B. Anthony, etc. If the series is going to transition into science fiction and aliens, this is likely the last book I'll be reading in the series, which makes me very sad.

My favorite so far!
I got a little confused with the characters, they’ve gotten so complex and so many. Of all the books in the series, I have loved this one, the most. It is more complex and detailed than the other stories. I am in awe of Catherine Lawrie Logans artistry can you give us one more please?

Sound effects are distracting
The author’s writing is very descriptive, the random added sound effects seem like an unnecessary gimmick. They are more distracting than helpful to the story.

What a great story!!!!!
KLL just gets better and better! These books have everything I want and expect from a good listen. First the romance…you feel the love in bundles and chemistry. As time travel…technical, logical, and consistently advances. As Family…I’m one of them but these guys sing and dance and box and stuff. As historical….I learn something every episode. This is really random but Delmonico steak. The name came from the famous steak house in NY, I didn’t know that. FYI it is also called New York cut Top Sirloin. (I’m married to old meat cutter. ) well the point is ….delmonico is the small end of the loin. (A good cut) and it my favorite steak. So all the characters in this story can’t wait to eat their steak. I, for one, understand. As an action adventure….the best adventure with really good bad guys and really intense situations.
Each Brooch book as it all. You are a genius KLL.
The readers are good. Yes we miss the original reader. She was dynamic in every way. But these readers are good. She has many voices but with the Kenzie, JL, etc ina group convo I couldn’t figure out who was talking in the dialog. And his voice for Remi is a little too much. It’s hard to understand his awesomeness with a voice like his.
I recommend the Brooch series to everyone. The sex is graphic but perfect…a necessary byproduct in the grand scheme of things. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
