Publisher's Summary
Former Navy SEAL meets childhood crush in 1896 New York City....
Where danger lurks, romance blooms, and old wounds surface.
When Tavis Stuart’s estranged mother calls to ask for his help, he says no until she tells him her goddaughter and Tavis’s childhood best friend, archaeologist Aislinn Kennedy, has gone missing. Then when his mother tells him Aislinn disappeared from the museum in Rome where she was working on a Greek and Roman treasure found in a North Dakota cave, he agrees to help. After consulting with Elliott Fraser, Tavis calls Gabe Moretti, a family member managing MacCorp Wineries in Italy. Gabe breaks into the museum, reviews the security tape, and discovers Aislinn found a Celtic brooch inside an artifact and disappeared in a fog. Now the clan must figure out where she went.
Aislinn Kennedy is immersed in a challenging project in Rome. While examining a white marble steatopygous from 4500 BC, she discovers an ancient brooch hidden inside the fertility figure. The brooch has a stunning bloodstone in the center engraved with a Gaelic chant. When she reads the chant aloud, she is immediately surrounded by a peat-smelling fog that takes her on a whirligig trip through space.
When she emerges from the fog, she’s in New York City in 1896, where she befriends banker Solomon Loeb, who introduces her to Police Commissioner Teddy Roosevelt. No sooner does she accept a job to work as Roosevelt’s secretary than she is reunited with Tavis, rekindling feelings they had for each in high school. Aislinn is ready to go home, but they can’t leave until they find three mysterious objects, which are also being hunted by an ancient, evil enemy set on destroying the MacKlenna Clan. It is possible the objects can’t be found, even with the expert help of two world-renowned archaeologists. And if they can’t be found, the members of the clan will never be safe again. This story contains violence, sex, and profanity.

Good Story, I Guess
I have every one of the Brooch books, and have listened to a number of them twice. The day this book came out on audio I purchased it. Every other book in the series I gave 5's to, all across the board, but this one I just can't. The story is 90% engaging but it appears the series is beginning to take a slow turn to "modern day" political issues that I find ridiculous. Also, it's like the author has decided to write more in the style of the Outlander series author-just toooo much T&A. My imagination works just fine, I don't need all the graphic details, especially since James Collen is going to, apparently, be a major character in the next book.
I hope the remaining books will be as good as the previous ones but I understand that the characters are growing, aging, and have expanding families, and likely the remaining books will be more futuristic (rather than historical) science fiction. As a history buff that is what has been so enjoyable, reading such creative stories about Abe Lincoln, Thomas Jefferson, Teddy Roosevelt, Wild Bill Hickok, Susan B. Anthony, etc. If the series is going to transition into science fiction and aliens, this is likely the last book I'll be reading in the series, which makes me very sad.

My favorite so far!
I got a little confused with the characters, they’ve gotten so complex and so many. Of all the books in the series, I have loved this one, the most. It is more complex and detailed than the other stories. I am in awe of Catherine Lawrie Logans artistry can you give us one more please?

A Wild Ride Through Time
I’ve enjoyed all the books in this series and this is no exception. Who couldn’t love Tavis? There is a lot to keep up with plus new characters, who I never tire of meeting. I especially like the way KLL brings old characters into the story - it’s like old friends. The language is rough, but we are dealing with battle-hardened soldiers.
The book is explicitly adult, so be prepared.

Wonderful series
I have loved every book. Because the chatter was that there were 12 stones on the cave door, I thought this was to be the last. Luckily, 13 will be out next month.
I hope to still be around when 25 comes around!

A continuing saga
While the story line continues, the introduction of characters gets convoluted because they’re individually not fleshed out very well. It has interesting turns throughout.

Leave the political opinions out
I enjoy this series and did enjoy this title as well. Unfortunately, the author decided to get on her personal soap box and preach her personal views on current political/social issues. These added nothing to the story and, in fact, served as a distraction. The "conversations" where opinions on climate change were stated came across as stilted and out of place. I read fiction to be entertained not to listen to a lecture on all that is wrong in the world. STOP Preaching and let us enjoy the stories you create!

Bloodstone brooch
This book was well written and a good story. I have noticed that there seems to be way too many sex scenes in way too much detail. I also cringed at the “climate change” references throughout the story. Books are an escape from reality. I don’t want to be smacked with climate change and “porn in my escape.
