Excerpt
Her husband was trying to fight them off, but this was a farming village. These were not warriors and would have been an easy conquest for this group.
If there was one thing Leon hated, it was cowards. And going after a group of innocent people who couldn’t defend themselves was the biggest show of cowardice he could imagine.
He and his men launched into battle, cutting down all those who sought to harm his people. They moved smoothly together, as men who had spent nearly every waking moment training.
The fighting came to a stop and Leon searched for anyone else who might do them harm. He was just sheathing his sword when a sharp pain shot through his body.
What? He looked down to see a blade protruding from his stomach.
Is that screaming? Why are they screaming again? He fell to his knees, his vision blurry as the battle raged around him once more.
Why couldn’t he seem to focus on anything?
“Come Leon, let’s get you back. Lady Carissa can help you!”
“What happened?”
“There were more hiding we’ve got them but we must go now.”
“But the people.” He insisted.
“We will be fine.” One of the men at his side had been the husband fighting for his family.
His mind was racing, completely unable to latch on to a single thought. Was this dying? Was he going to die today?

Our Review
This was a fun, action packed hot little read! Fans of time travel, hot Irish guys and insta-love will truly enjoy Their Own Time by Jessica Wayne!
This quick read was actually 3 short stories all packed into one book, which I literally loved. Sometimes I just want a quick read that I don't have to get too emotionally invested in and that is exactly what I got...except maybe I got a little emotionally involved.
I think if anything would have made this story better it would be more. Even though one of the biggest draws is that it is short, I found myself wishing there was more, more, MORE!
The first story of Garrett and Carissa was probably my favorite and only because it was the longest and provided the most detail and opportunity to get invested. If the author would have developed these stories then I would say Wade and Chloe would be my favorite. I love lawmen. LOVE! BUT I also really enjoyed Leon and Ashleigh's story, but really only because...ooh I can't tell you that!
I really think readers just need to give this one a shot. I am definitely intrigued by Jessica Wayne and will look into her other work as well.
Giving Their Own Time 4 stars!
