Blurb/Summary:

Within the pages of a secret diary, modern-day bookworm Julia Brown discovers an intriguing tale of mystery and deceit. But, little does she realise just how much her existence is intertwined within the ancient journal...until she is thrust back in time to the Scottish Highlands 1681. Armed only with the passionate writings of a woman long gone, she will pursue the truth of her own past...and discover the man of her dreams. 

Review:

Prepare yourselves to be swept away, into another time.  Allow an enchantment of Diary of the Heart, as this book sweeps the reader into a story that is engaging, riveting, and enjoyable.

Ms. Symmonds cleverly combines the past and the present in this story as a young woman is taken to another time and learns things she never imagined possible.  The story follows Julia as she struggles to understand.  There's plenty of action, romance, suspense, and intrigue.  I love time travel novels and this is one that definitely didn't disappoint!

Kudos to the author on a job well done.  This is definitely a keeper.
