About the Book

Book: Garrett

Author: Izzy James

Genre: Christian Romance

Release date: November 27, 2020

Garrett Tyler thought he was leaving Ballard House for home, secure in the knowledge that love had finally won-out for his long-time friend Olivia. He steps out the door and into the past, 1769 to be exact. While finding his bearings Garrett stumbles upon a beautiful woman being attacked. He makes sure she gets home and because of his kindness, she allows him to stay in an outbuilding—even believing his time travel story—while he figures out how he will get back to his life in the future. The more time they spend together, the deeper friendship they build, but one thing is going to rip her world apart.

Mercy Hansford is a confidant, independent woman running her own tailor shoppe. Her world is shaken when she is brutally attacked after delivering one of her sought-after shirts. The consequences of this night could be more far-reaching than either of them can guess.

Should Mercy trust a man she barely knows?

Why did I write Garrett?

While I was writing Max I was working through physical therapy prior to a lumbar fusion surgery. My physical therapist’s assistant was a young man named Garrett. He was intrigued that I was a writer and asked me if I would use his name in a book one day. So I had a name.

As I finished writing Max–who came forward in time from 1769–I started thinking about what it would be like for a young person of today to find himself back in 1769.

Garrett of the book bears no resemblance to Garrett of the physical therapy office! Garrett was fun to write. I hope you will enjoy reading it.

My Thoughts

Garrett is book number two in the Yorktown Christmas Time Travel series. I personally had not read the first book, and found that this seemed to read just fine as a standalone.

I must admit that time travel novels aren't generally ones that I often find myself all that drawn to... Christmas romances on the other hand are VERY much up my alley, so I wasn't quite sure what to expect with this one and how I would like it. While it took me a bit to figure things out at points (time travel IS confusing after all!), I overall found this to be a rather enjoyable read... certainly not my typical read, but a fun one nonetheless! It was quick paced, and as a novella was just the right length for this busy holiday season. I always love novellas for the holidays as it does tend to get so busy and it can be harder to have as much time to devote to a full length novel. If you enjoy a time travel novel, this is certainly one to check out, but even if it's not your typical cup of tea you might find that it will surprise you too!
