Incredible

The story of this book is fantastic and well written. I really enjoyed every second of the book. The Narration was flawless and on point. I highly recommend this Audiobook

Unique and Interesting!

This book is part historical romance and part sci-fi romance. Really interesting storyline. I don't want to give away too much of the plot, but this story jumps between Renaissance Portugal and Contemporary U.S., with aliens for good measure! I found the story compelling and engaging. The author really seems to do her research when it comes to authentically describing 16th Century Portugal. I really enjoyed the historical spotlight on a country that doesn't get a lot of attention in Western popular fiction. So I LOVED that.

The narrator was really good at using Portuguese pronunciations for names and locations. The attention to detail was really impressive. She was also highly emotive, which I liked.

It's a unique book. I really liked it. Between the plot and the narration, this one's a winner.

Lots to like!

This book was really interesting and captivating. The story itself jumps back and forth between modern day U.S. and Renaissance Portugal. The premise is pretty cool as two lovers separated by time find their way to each other and try to fulfill their mission to help save planet earth. I really enjoyed it! Narrator did a good job portraying different characters.

Recommend And Not Finished Yet But…

I’m liking this audiobook a lot. I’ll update the rating once I finish but…one flaw I’m noticing which writers sometimes do that is a pet peeve of mine is that Victor and Veronica are “too perfect”. Give your characters a few flaws next time. It will make them much more interesting and relatable. I would recommend this book though.

love through time

Captivating, riveting, engaging, and suspenseful. I was drawn down through the rabbit hole quickly on this one , and I loved every moment of it all. The flashbacks to the past truly made me appreciate their present day story and connection. I voluntarily listened to a free copy of this and am giving an honest review. The narrator did a good job bringing it to life.
