Timeless Desire by Gwyn Cready (Terra's Review)

Two years after losing her husband, overworked librarian Panna Kennedy battles to distract herself from crushing grief. During a routine search within the library, Panna opens an obscure, pad-locked door and finds herself transported to the magnificent, book-filled quarters of a handsome, eighteenth-century Englishman. The man is Colonel John Bridgewater—the historic English war hero whose larger-than-life statue looms over her desk. However, the life of the dashing Bridgewater is not at all what she imagined. He's under house arrest for betraying England, and now looks upon her as a possible spy. Despite bad first impressions, Bridgewater warms to Panna. She is thrown into a whirlwind of high-stakes intrigue that sweeps her from Hadrian's Wall to a forbidding stone castle in Scotland.

(Terra's Thoughts)  Gwyn Cready has really outdone herself on this book.  It's everything you could want from a deliciously warm romance with lots of action.  A sit on the edge of your seat page turner that I absolutely loved and hope to see more of this type of story from our author in the future.

Panna Kennedy is ever so lonely.  Still mourning the death of her husband she is not quite sure she wants to get involved again but her friend is determined to help Panna find some semblance of happiness.  The problem is is that Panna would just as soon drool over a statue of the most handsome man she's seen in some time but what will happen when Pandora's Box opens drawing her in to meet the statue come to life?

Colonel John Bridgewater is everything there is to make even the most ardent of women swoon with his dashing self.  Playing both sides of the fence in a war that will surely not have a winner is a dangerous game and one that the Colonel just can't help himself with being smack dab in the middle of.  Then along comes a woman and all Hell be damned.  Can John Bridgewater ride the fence and play a game of tit for tat?  We'll see!

This is one action packed book with enough steam to melt the glue binding it together.  Luscious kisses, midnight rendezvous, dangerous missions and enough intrigue to keep all of us entertained while licking our lips ardently over the drool worthy sexy scenes.  Our author has a knack for giving us just what we want but this time she has delivered in spades.  Now I believe Gwyn Creedy is going to have to give us Aces to top this delightfully decadent treat.
