Once Upon a Summer Night:
Mists of Fate - Book Three
By
Nancy Scanlon
Colin O’Rourke’s elite matchmaking service is taking off until Winifred
Emsworth, Great Britain’s most influential gossip columnist, writes a scathing
article about it. She’ll retract the column…if Colin can match her shy, bookish
niece with a modern British aristocrat.
But that’s not Colin’s only problem. As one of the O’Rourke time-traveling Guardians, Colin’s destined for one woman only. His thinks he’s found her when she wanders into his cousin’s garden, but she leaves before he can get her name. If he doesn’t track her down again, he’ll never know true love.
Eleanor Carberry is happy with her life as a bookshop owner, and she knows she has her dear aunt Winifred to thank for it—especially as Winnie helped smooth over a very public breakup and a very personal loss. Her aunt has never expected anything in return, so when she asks Ellie to help vet an American matchmaking company, Ellie reluctantly agrees.
When Colin and Ellie meet, Colin realizes she’s the woman from the garden. He’s bound by contract to find her an Englishman, or he’ll lose the business he’s worked so hard to grow. Despite the distance he tries to keep between them, Fate has other plans when Ellie takes an unexpected trip back in time—once upon a summer night.

What did I think of the book?
From cosmopolitan London to 15th Century Ireland, Once Upon a Summer
Night: Mists of Fate, will take you on an unforgettable journey.
With a beautiful, compelling, storyline. This sweet romance has a lot going for
it.
I adored the premise of the story — Colin O’Rourke
is a time-travelling Guardian of the O'Rourke tribe as well as a successful
businessman. When he isn't travelling through time to ensure the safety of his
clan, he is helping others find their soul mates with his match-making company, Celtic Connections.
But, unlike his clients, Colin avoids love. He knows that out there somewhere
is his soul mate, the one woman who he will be connected to for all time.
However, Colin would never ask any woman to share the life he lives — it
wouldn't be fair.
Once bitten, twice shy, Eleanor Carberry has closed
her heart off to the possibility of loving again. But then she meets Colin and
everything changes. Now all she has to do is convince Colin to open his heart,
take a chance, and love her back and then, maybe, just maybe, they will have
their happy ever after fairy-tale.
The romance is elegant in the telling, and it works
so well with the principle of the story. This book is all about emotions, feelings,
the heart. It is timeless. Add to the mix a little bit of time-travel and you
have a fantastic read. I had to admit, that I was so enjoying the romance, that I forgot all about
it being a time-travel book until the heroine ended up in 15th
Century Ireland! The time-travel element doesn’t dominate this book, although
make no mistake it does happen and when it does happen it is very believable.
Putting that aside, what I like about the book was the way love was describe as
traversing time. It would be. It was. Despite what Colin has to say about it!
Once Upon a
Summer Night: Mists of Fate is a very enjoyable read and if you like clean
romance with time-travel set in those Emerald Isles, then this is the book for
you.
I Highly Recommend.
