Fantastic ending to the series

I loved this final installment of the Whitfield and Sheridan‘s time traveling historical romance. Like the other books in the series, this story is told from multiple points of view. It does not focus on one couple but once again focuses on multiple couples - Valerie and Alec, Louisa and Kit, Finn and Abbie, Sam and Susanna, and Charles and Annabel. There is a lot going on with these couples between the 17th and 18th centuries - war, death, injuries, births, and messy life. The choices of the adults have consequences sometimes unintended ones and living in the past makes some things harder and other things less so. Interwoven with the couples story arcs there is once again social and religious commentary which adds interesting layers to the storyline. The story was well written and included three dimensional characters and an engaging storyline as shown through mystery, sweet moments, light spice, laughs, messy families, painful pasts, surprises, danger, plot twists, fate, and love. I have loved this series and am sorry to see it end.

Fiona Small did a wonderful job narrating the story and characters into life with enough change of inflection, tone and cadence to voice multiple characters quite convincingly.

Love this family

I truly enjoyed every story in the series. It isn’t something I would have chosen but was recommended by audible. I’m so happy to have found Irina.

This was so wonderful to listen to I ate it up listening sometimes staying awake until the middle of the night even though I worked in the morning lol. I just couldn’t wait to see what happened. I loved how the Irina Shapiro kept all the families and time lines moving in sink throughout the books. Wow I loved each one of the books in this series I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEM.
