Garrett Tyler thought he was leaving Ballard House for home, secure in the knowledge that love had finally won-out for his long-time friend Olivia. He steps out the door and into the past, 1769 to be exact. While finding his bearings Garrett stumbles upon a beautiful woman being attacked. He makes sure she gets home and because of his kindness, she allows him to stay in an outbuilding—even believing his time travel story—while he figures out how he will get back to his life in the future. The more time they spend together, the deeper friendship they build, but one thing is going to rip her world apart.

Mercy Hansford is a confidant, independent woman running her own tailor shoppe. Her world is shaken when she is brutally attacked after delivering one of her sought-after shirts. The consequences of this night could be more far-reaching than either of them can guess.

Should Mercy trust a man she barely knows?

BOOK REVIEW

"Garrett" is a fun read. It is Izzy James's Book 2 in the Yorktown Christmas Time Travel series. I highly recommend you read the first book. I didn't read the first book. Garrett Tyler went from 2019 back to 1769 in colonial Yorktown. I believe it explained how Garrett went back in time in the first book. This is why I am saying it is a must to read the first book of this series. I was able to figure out what was going on but it took me a little bit.
Garrett steps out of his house and right into 1769. Everything is different. A major culture and time period shock. He runs into Mercy Hansford who is being attacked. He saves her. Keep in mind Mercy is a strong-minded independent woman. To thank him she allows him to stay at her guest house while he tries to figure out how to get back home. We learn she is pregnant after being molested. Garrett falls in love with her and wants to help and protect her.
The book is an easy read Novella. The characters are relatable. You see Garrett and Mercy's relationship grow through the text. The book reminds me a little bit like "Outlander" except a lot cleaner when it comes to sex. I would love to see Hallmark pick this series up. It is a beautiful Historical Fiction, Time Travel, Love Story.
I received a complimentary copy of this book by Celebrate Lit. All opinions are my own.

Why did I write Garrett?

While I was writing Max I was working through physical therapy prior to a lumbar fusion surgery. My physical therapist’s assistant was a young man named Garrett. He was intrigued that I was a writer and asked me if I would use his name in a book one day. So I had a name.

As I finished writing Max–who came forward in time from 1769–I started thinking about what it would be like for a young person of today to find himself back in 1769.

Garrett of the book bears no resemblance to Garrett of the physical therapy office! Garrett was fun to write. I hope you will enjoy reading it.
