BOOK: MacKalvey House by Carol Ann Kauffman

MacKalvey House

by Carol Ann Kauffman

Young American Michelle Rosemont visits England after college graduation and 
decides to stay. She takes a job as photographer for a historical magazine and 
falls in love with the extremely unpopular Kenneth MacKalvey, an older British 
author with a shady past. 

Old families scars resurface and play havoc with Michelle and Kenneth's relationship,
 as she struggles to come to terms with her father's abandonment and unforeseen 
family issues, as well as a ruthless redhead.

Dear Gentle Readers,

If you read Echo of Heartbreak, A Recipe for Life, then I think you will 
enjoy this one, too. It is not a sequel. In. fact, Echo of Heartbreak was 
a prequel.

In preparing to write this book, I needed a clear picture in my mind of 
Michelle's mother, Melina Valentina Rosemont, because she is paramount 
to the formation of Michelle's persona. Her fears, strengths, and personality
are strongly tied to her mother.

In the end, I had so much information on Melina, I thought she deserved 
her own little book, with recipes, tips on housekeeping and wardrobe 
planning, and insights on life. So, Echo of Heartbreak, A Recipe for 
Life came into being.

Kenneth MacKalvey is a wealthy man. He inherited the family business, he has written many books, he is an artist 
and owns a art gallery. But most of all, he is known for his rude, bad mouth, nasty self. His reputation on a scale of 
1-10, is a 0.
Michelle Rosemount has only been in England for a short time. With a degree in Early Childhood Education, she left 
the states to start a new life. Working as a photographer for a historical magazine, she loves taking pictures of the 
manors, castles and ruins.
Michelle has read every book Mr. MacKalvey has written. She feels like she knows him , really knows him. She wants 
to be with him in every way possible. She deep down loves him. Kenneth heard her voice for the first time and knew 
that they belonged together and always have and always will. He is drawn to her.
Carol Ann Kauffman puts together the perfect English gentleman meets the beautiful American, but what she doesn't
 do is make it sappy. She shows how a true drawl to a connection can be, that opposites do attract. Come on you two, 
get it together!
The love story of Kenneth and Michelle isn't much different then most, on again, off again. But theirs has an evil red 
head to come between them and make matters way worse then expected. This red head relishes in all of it. All she 
wants is his name, money, house and children. Will she get any of it?
At one point when Michelle is swearing Kenneth off and needs a break from life, she heads to Italy with her best friend 
and aunt. She is enjoying the beautiful land around her, until there is a man set up for her. She gets very drunk, insults everybody and runs to the olive trees. This man follows and well, lets say they see the olive trees in a different way. 
This man stays in her life as a very good friend. He helps her start her own business and helps her to forget Kenneth 
by having her live with him, far away from Kenneth.
Who does Michelle end up with in the end? Well the ending was a huge surprise! I never saw that coming at all. Carol 
did a good job with subtle hints along the way that I didn't see until after I read the ending. Another fantastic story in 
the Time After Time Series! This series is a must read!

5.0 out of 5 starsWell written and gripping! Another page turner from Kauffman!

CR

Another great book in the time after time series. Kauffman has created yet another pair of lovers, and they need to deal 
with all drama in their path to love. Michelle Rosemont has moved to England and fallen in love. Kenneth MacKalvey 
has a secret past, and is full of mystery and that's what leads Michelle down the wormhole. Just like the other books 
in Kauffman's time after time series, this has a outstanding plot, very well written characters, and intrigue and drama. 
It interests the reader, and pulls them into the world, as you root for the characters to end up happily ever after. Each 
book keeps getting better and better. This was a great read with romance, humor, drama, and some action. It's a great 
book to add to your reading list, and I promise you won't be disappointed! I thoroughly loved it, and look forward to 
more books by Kauffman

MS as the book progressed it was clear that Carol Kauffman created another world with another set of characters with many obstacles

I've read another book in Carol Kauffman's Time after Time series. This book follows a similar pattern and in the 
beginning it was alluded, but completely clear how the books tied together. However, as the book progressed it was 
clear that Carol Kauffman created another world with another set of characters with many obstacles in their path 
towards true love. The plot is filled with many twists and turns, and a mystery behind every corner. The imagery 
Carol Kauffman uses to describe the English countryside are true to form, her characters have depth, the plot is well 
thought out, and the mystery continues with a surprise ending. If you are looking for an entertaining read that will not disappoint, I highly recommend this book and Carol Kaufman's other Time after Time series books.

4.0 out of 5 starsA slow beginning but after that a great read!

At first I thought I ordered the wrong book. The beginning, did not seem to be related to the first book. After a while 
the story became connected. There were a lot o twist in this love story. Had a great and surprising.ending. I do wish it did.not.end so abruptly and would have told.a.little more of the love story I'm not sure if there is a book three, but the 
way it ended the author left it hanging so the story could be continued. I will definitely check to see if the story
continues.

A love story I couldn't put down.

I love Kauffman's Time After Time Series. MacKalvey House is my favorite so far.
Kauffman has a fantastic imagination and places these two lovers in different times and different situations. 
MacKalvey House is current times and takes place in England.
I think the characters interact perfectly, whether it be good or bad and make you feel for them.
I look forward to reading many more Time After Time books by Kauffman.
