SPRING AT TAIGH FALLON is a beautifully written story that is part romance, a touch of time slip, just a bit haunted and completely enjoyable and compelling. Once started it’s difficult to leave this world even for short breaks. (I even managed to hold off on a coffee refill for a couple of chapters – and nothing keeps me from my coffee addiction *Grin*) Told with a dual timeline and more than a hint of ghosts, hidden passageways, mystical happenings and a feeling of magic just out of reach, SPRING AT TAIGH FALLON will capture your attention and hold you captive throughout.

I adored Angel with her love of all things Victorian, a touch of Gothic surrounds her at any given moment. She’s loyal, at times brash, outspoken and will defend her best friend against anything or anyone… including a man who draws her to him even as he angers her like no other can. Angel and Kyle worked well as a couple, their bantering, arguing and telling glances spoke just as much as their actual words did. I loved Zac and his man certainly deserves his own story and his lifetime love as well. But the real shining personality of them all is this aging, regal, mysterious mansion that has seen so much and still stands only reluctantly giving up its secrets to Angel, Kyle, and Zac.

SPRING AT TAIGH FALLON is a story that needs to be read to completely appreciate the nuances, the feelings that all the characters and the mansion will envoke in each reader. I was captured by this story and I’m definitely looking forward to the next in the series. If you love a good romance, a sense of moving between time periods, a bit of a mystery and beautifully described buildings with stories of their own to tell then you’ll feel right at home in this world. I loved my time here and would not hesitate to recommend it to any reader of Romance, no matter your favorite genre.

did not finish - the story got convoluted and a bit disjointed for me and I wasn't intrigued enough to continue on. Stopped at chapter 19.

When Angel's best friend Zac inherits a Scottish mansion with his Canadian cousin Kyle, she and Zac head off up to Scotland for a few days and meet the obnoxious Kyle there. Immediately Angel is feeling the atmosphere of the old house..... and is it really just animosity between her and Kyle!

Another lovely book by this author, with a great time slip element. The house is amazing with its gothic atmosphere and secrets to be uncovered, definitely worth reading

I have read and enjoyed some of Kirsty Ferry's previous books but hadn't read the first book in this series. But it didn't matter, I really enjoyed this book as a standalone novel - although I will now be reading the first book in the series as I enjoyed this one so much.

I loved the settings of this novel - starting with gothic Whitby then onto beautiful Skye then to the gorgeous house Taigh Fallon overlooking Eilean Donan castle. I enjoyed the time slip element in this book and was fascinated to find out what had happened at Taigh Fallon in the past. The characters were believable and I enjoyed all of their stories.

This is a well written time slip novel which has contemporary romance, mystery, history, tragedy and a cracking storyline. I couldn't put it down.

Highly recommended.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read this book in exchange for an honest review.

Spring at Taigh Fallon by Kirsty Ferry was an interesting story that I truly recommend. This story was well written and the locations were well described. This story was full of descriptions of locations and the main characters were perfect. There were three main characters; Kyle, his cousin Zac and Zac's friend Angel. Add in an inherited property in Scotland, a bit of history, mystery, ghosts, and romance, and that is how the story flows. Also included were characters from the 1890's with their tragic stories from the past. It was such an interesting story and had some twists and turns that I did not see coming. I enjoyed it and suggest this as a story that others would enjoy.

This was a great romance, with a healthy dose of historic fiction and a sprinkling of spiritualism. I really enjoyed this book, with its interesting characters and beautifully described Scotland setting. The story follows Kyle, his cousin Zac, and Zac's best friend Angel, as they visit a home inherited by the two cousins and discover some its history and its mysteries. The book takes turns telling the story from each of the 3 main characters' viewpoints, interspersed with events from the home's owners in the 1890s. I got caught up in all their stories and had a hard time putting the book down. Another thing I liked was looking up all the places and terms I wasn't familiar with and helping me picture the settings more vividly.

This is my first book by Kirsty Ferry, but I will be looking for more!

I received an advance copy of this book. This review contains my honest thoughts and opinions.

I dis enjoy this story as I have all of the other Kirsty Ferry books it is a 'then and now' set in the present day and the late 19th century.
It centres around a Scottish house bequeathed to a close friend of Angel the main character and a tragic story of the late Victorian period.
I must say though every time Eilean Donan castle was mentioned it referred to the ruins of .. this castle is not a ruin by any stretch if the imagination and the travel from Skye to the house seemed a little too long.
All I all a good read.
