My rating: 4
While this is (I think) the fourth book in a series, it stands alone rather nicely! Being a HUGE Outlander fan, I really found myself in love this the idea of this book, and I truly enjoyed every page of it. I did not read the books previous to this one in the series, and I don't feel as if I've missed out on anything (although I've added them all to my TBR for the near future)!
The story revolves around Medieval England, when a set of sisters accidentally travel back in time! The girls truly believed that they were in some strange version of a reality television show, which was actually pretty hilarious to consider. The banter was hilarious at times, I found myself laughing out loud.
There was also a decent bit of romance mixed in - the brewing attraction and connection between Emily and Simon stuck out the most to me. I really enjoyed seeing them learn how to love one another, and seeing how Simon would deal with a more headstrong woman. Also, the decisions Roger would have to make in order to keep his romance alive with Electra... you'll have to read the story to know more. I'll have to go back to the first 3 books to see where it began, for sure.
I found the story to seem pretty historically accurate and overall the plot was tasteful, and to a point believable. It was very well developed, and written. I was completely satisfied! So nice to see someone else doing a historical romance so well, that includes the time travel aspect! Really a fantastic read. Will be recommending to my other fantasy loving friends!

When I first read the book description of ‘In Time For You’ I was immediately interested in reading this book. A book about knights and medieval England sounds like a great read to me. And since I loved Chris Karlsen’s writing in her book ‘Silk’, I couldn’t wait to start reading this one.
Although ‘In Time For You’ is already the fourth book in the Knights in Time series, it can be read as a standalone. (Which is a good thing since I haven’t read the previous books either.)
‘In Time For You’ really was a very entertaining and intriguing read. From the very beginning I was completely pulled into the story. It was especially fun to read the way the sisters Electra and Emily responded when they found themselves in 1357. At first they were convinced they were a part of a strange real-life program for TV. And this made for some very funny scenes.
Chris Karlsen sure knows how to write a book that keeps you hooked. There was adventure, romance, historical aspects and of course time travelling. This book just didn’t get boring.
Although there is a lot of talk about the romance between Electra and Roger, I enjoyed the romance between Emily and her medieval knight Simon much more. It was fun to read about Electra and Roger and how they found each other again. But the starting romance of Emily and Simon was just so sweet and also really funny since Simon wasn’t used to a woman taking the lead. And I really loved the characters of Emily and Simon. Especially Simon since he was such a tough, but also very sweet knight.
‘In Time For You’ really is a humorous, romantic and historical time traveling story I enjoyed from the very first page. This book really made me wish I also read the previous three books in the series. Not that I missed information to get into the story, but I think I would have loved this book even more if I was a part of it from the very beginning.
I also had a view minor issues with how the book went in the end. It felt a little rushed to me while the rest of the book was very detailed. And I really wished I could have read a little more about Emily and Simon.
‘In Time For You’ is a really good read and I really recommend it. Especially if you like medieval England, knights, historical romance and humor.
