He wakes in a strange land and is saved by a blue-haired angel.Twenty-first-century witch and cat rescuer Luna Halpern has fallen for more than her share of unsuitable guys--including one with a long-distance fiancé, and another who was more interested in other dudes than in Luna. Finally, a safe, drama-free guy is interested in her, and she's confident that she'll muster up an attraction to him. When she stumbles upon a handsome, mysterious man who speaks oddly, seems not to know where he is, or even what century it is, her first instinct is to help him.Certain he's either stuck in a crazy dream or in limbo between life and death, Colin stays close to Luna. As his feelings for her grow, he's forced to choose between his obligations in the past and his hopes for the future.

Luna is one of the magic weilding citizens of Cat's Paw Cove. Along with her brother Leo, who seems to be the town Romeo, she runs the local bakery. After working at the local founders day festival she finds a bedraggled but still very handsome refugee from a shipwreck. Poor lad must have bumped his head cos he's now trapped in his reenactment persona! Colin had been sailing to the Caribbean with his new wife when the storm struck. Now he has awoken in a very strange world. But one where his mad inventions, once mocked by his peers, would not seem out of place. But how can he return to his family? Can he trust this witch? What will actually await him on his return? Hecate the cat has some very weird talents! Colin solowly realises that the past he left might not be as perfect as the present in which he has found himself! Sweet romance which sprouts from a new friendship. Mysterty robberies and family secrets galore!

THIS WAS WONDERFUL!!! The whole travelling from the distant past trope is often not believable because the actions and language of the party involved doesn't sound/feel authentic to their own period. This one did and it totally made the story so enjoyable. I could feel just how confused the H was...(TBC)
