The Time Contessa (The Time Mistress Book 3)

The Time Contessa is an adventure to Siena, Italy, 500 years into the past and 100 years into the future. Something has gone wrong with an historical timeline, causing a famous painting to disappear from the world’s conscious memory, surfacing only in people’s dreams. Two members of MIT’s Chronology team, Dr. Cassandra Reilly and her colleague Jake, must go to Renaissance Siena to repair the timeline so the artist who painted the portrait of a beautiful woman known as Giuliana will ultimately live to complete it. However, the past holds many pitfalls, both dangerous and romantic, that Cassandra must stay clear of, while trying to prevent Jake falling prey to them as well. The time-travelers’ problems follow them to the future, where love takes such a strong hold it becomes impossible to resist, and past adversaries resurface to create new threats.

The Time Contessa - Georgina Young-Ellis (2013)
by LEAH EGGLESTON KRYGOWSKI

The Time Contessa, the third installment in the Time Mistress series, has Dr Cassandra Reilly reluctantly time-travelling to Siena, Italy in 1509 with her co-worker, Jake, in an effort to fix the historical timeline during the Renaissance period. Their goal is to make sure an artist who began a famous painting titled Giuliana remains alive to finish his work. As with her previous time-travelling adventures, Dr Reilly and her friends become entangled with the people of that time period and must remain extremely vigilant of changing things beyond what history shows. While the main characters and time-travelling concept continue in the third book of the series, the time period and a slight twist with regard to returning to the future keep this story fresh. Again, the details of the people and characteristics of the time are superb and truly transport the reader to that particular time and area of the world. I am looking forward, once again, to more of the Time Mistress.
