About the Book


Book:
Rita: A Yorktown Christmas Time Travel Novella

Author: Izzy James

Genre: Christian Romance

Release date: July 19, 2022

Dr. Rita Woods thought she was going back in time to save the children. She didn’t count on falling in love.

Rita Woods—retired physician, widow, with a granddaughter about to be married—misses her patients. She’s tired of knitting. She wants to do something that makes a difference again. When Max Ballard and his time-traveling conservatory pop in to her life, the voice of Dr. Josiah Jones’ diary calls. The voice who’d inspired her vocation. The last line of the diary haunts her quiet moments:

“…the children succumbed in the night…”

In 1769 Dr. Josiah Jones has a good life. His practice is thriving and, except for the the guilt he carries over the death of his wife, life couldn’t be any better. His biggest worry is the zealous match-making activities of his best friend…that is until a hurricane throws an unexpected guest on his doorstep.

Can Josiah trust a woman from the twenty-first century to save the only grandchildren he’ll ever have?

Is it possible for two people living 250 years apart to have a second chance at love?

More from Izzy

After I finished Garrett, who worked really hard to hide his contemporary origins when he slipped back to 1769, I thought it would be fun to have someone actually take some technology back to 1769. I also felt bad for Olivia’s grandmother who makes her first appearance in Max. She is a retired physician knitting away and helping out Olivia and Garrett as she can. I thought it was time she had an adventure of her own. And since I love historic areas, and Yorktown has become one of my favorite places, I knew I had to go back at least one more time.

My Review

Rita is a novella written by the talented Izzy James and part of the Yorktown Christmas Time-Travel series. Even though it is part of a series, it can be read as a stand alone. I really enjoyed this quick story and getting to know Rita and Josiah. It was a sweet tale of love, history and having second chances. It was fun going back in time to pre Revolutionary War era Yorktown. At about one hundred and twenty pages, it was easy to read in one sitting. 

I am giving Rita four and a half stars. Readers who enjoy reading clean historical fiction, as well as, time travel stories. I look forward to reading more by Izzy James in the future. 

I received a paperback copy of Rita from the publisher, but was not required to write a positive review. This review is one hundred percent my own honest opinion.
