I just finished a good book that is a perfect summer read for romance lovers. The Love Leap by Heather Grace Stewart is available soon.

This is good fun. It doesn’t dwell too much on how the time travel works or how easily they accept that it has happened, instead leaning into the fun of it actually having happened. I found the main character a bit annoying, but she grew on me as she coped with some of the more absurd situations in which she found herself. A sweet, fun, modern romance.

The Love Leap is a delightfully chaotic time-travel romance with heart, heat, and a healthy dose of humor. Amelia “Mills” Sutherland is instantly relatable as a bestselling author whose trip to Scotland takes a wildly unexpected turn. When she stumbles into the path of Callum MacDowell, a charming Highland sailor, sparks fly fast. Their chemistry is fun and flirty, but the emotional pull builds steadily once they’re thrown into the year 1645, facing clan feuds, mistaken identities, and the challenge of pretending to be husband and wife.

What I loved most is that the romance doesn’t just lean on the fantasy setup. It’s grounded in emotional growth, shared vulnerability, and the kind of banter that makes you grin while rooting for them. The pacing keeps things engaging, with just enough tension to raise the stakes without losing the book’s warm, adventurous tone. Heather Grace Stewart weaves together modern humor and historical charm in a way that feels fresh and satisfying. If you're a fan of time slips, found family, and love stories that don’t take themselves too seriously but still manage to land the emotional moments, this one will leave you smiling.
