Anne Bolyen has been biding her time in France while waiting for her beloved Henry VIII to divorce Catherine of Aragon. Anne learned much as a maid of honour to Margaret of Austria and formed strong friendships with Queen Claude and Marguerite de Navarre. She has also been trying to control her supernatural talents as a witch and avoid the notice & wrath of the Goddess. Anne has been under the tutelage of the great Leonardo da Vinci at the Chateau du Clos Luce in France and has been studying mathematics, science, and how to end the curse that plagues her. Da Vinci is building a clock that allows one to travel through time and break the curse of the Goddess & free Anne from her tyranny. The plan is extremely dangerous and very unpredictable, especially when da Vinci dies before testing it. But all hope is not lost - Anne was left as the guardian of the true key to the clock & instructed to travel through time and find The Girl & prevent the marriage of two men. This enigma sounds more like a baffling riddle than a chance to free her from the Goddess' power - will Anne continue Leonardo's mission?

Ellie Bowlan's life has taken a wrong turn. She cannot really say what has happened, but she knows things are just not as they should be...but then again, what should it be? Her relationship with John Chelsea was going well, but once he took a research position halfway around the world, Ellie wondered if they were even right for each other. Her best friend Dez has found love & is planning to get married - to a horribly rich & snobby Lucien (according to Ellie) in France! Her life seems out of control and without focus, not to mention filled with supernatural powers that make her very ill-at-ease, even if they have been inherited through generations of Bowlan women. Can an opportunity to travel to the famous Chateau du Clos Luce bring everyone back into harmony & help Ellie to decide what & where her focus in life should be?

This was a really good sequel in the Boleyn Bloodline series! I look forward to reading the next book in the series! It is a very interesting spin on who Anne Boleyn is and what could have magically been. Thank you LibraryThing Early Reviewers for the opportunity to read the next book in the series! I will be watching for #3.… (plus d'informations)

Like many of the other reviewers here, I am not sure I would have requested this book if I knew its was the second in a series, and I didn't think it worked as well as a stand-alone. I am now reading the first one, and maybe that will improve my opinion of this book! It was an okay read - I was interested because of the mention that Outlander fans might enjoy this book, and while I thought there was more magic or paranormal aspects in Boleyn Time than I expected, it wasn't overwhelming. Time travel is always fascinating to think about. I will try to come back and update after I read the first book in the series. 3/5 stars.… (plus d'informations)
