Finally we get to know the grumpy, mysterious Ezra! I say mysterious because I knew there was more to him that he was hiding. But my goodness that wasn’t what I thought he was hiding. Made me feel even more sorry for the poor guy. So much on his shoulders.
I loved how he found Savannah. It was like these two souls knew they needed each other. To help them overcome so much in their lives. These two broken people, that just came together like it was meant to be.
My heart went out for Savannah, this poor woman and all she had been through in her life. All she is trying to do is find the one person who has always been there for her, her sister. And when that time comes, I was NOT expecting where she was found and with who. My goodness that was such a twist.
And can we talk about the kiddos! My sweet Olivia, this too smart for a 6 year old girl. I loved her invites she would always make, that was so freaking adorable! And the twins, these kiddos were so fun to read with how they were with not only their dad, Ezra, but how they took to Savannah right away. They knew too, just like Ezra and Savannah, they all were meant to be.

Claim Me Forever is the 3rd book in the Time River Series and it just may be my favorite! Ezra is the local sheriff and a single dad to the 3 cutest kids ever. Savannah is new in town, following leads and trying to find her sister who has been missing. This book is full of emotion, secrets and suspense that'll leave you guessing til the end. They're 2 scarred souls who find love & comfort in each other. Ezra felt protective of her from the moment he met her. I love the found family aspect of this book too. It was so great to see all the characters from the previous books. The girls took Savannah in instantly and made her feel like she finally found her home. Loved this one!

Time River 3

Narrated by: Zachary Webber, Desireé Ketchum
Oh AL Jackson. Be still my heart. This book has all the feels with some suspense thrown in creating a listen that is just what I love! First, let me say, single dad is one of my kryptonites, and I loved Olivia, Owen and Oliver. These three made the story come alive with the humor, from koalas to fun invitations. Their father Ezra has been a widow for several years, and has not moved on. Really hasn't been interested as he deals with his own guilt. That is until he meets Savannah. Savannah is in town with her own agenda, and it's not one that she will reveal. Circumstances land her in the guest house at Ezra's and the chemistry that has been brewing between them comes to a head. But they both know, Savannah isn't staying. She is there for a reason, and once she finds what she has come looking for, she is out of there. Right? But life always throws curve balls, and the fun at Ezra's house is never ending. There is some unusual danger happening in town though, and it's coming to a head. It seems to focus around the death of Ezra's wife, or could it be the reason Savannah is in town? As things progress, it becomes evident that Ezra is going to have to do what it takes to keep the love of his life alive. Jackson had me on the edge, wondering who to trust, is the reason Savannah is in town real, will the love between the two really last and how could anyone ever leave those kids? I was captivated and loved every minute of this installment of the Time River Series. It's amazing.
Then Jackson casts Zachary Webber and Desiree Ketchum to tell the story. How can it get better? Webber is incredible as always, bringing the feels to Ezra, but I am partial to his kid voices and fell in love with the kids immediately. Ketchum brings out all the emotions in Savannah as she navigates he new found feelings and her old as she seeks her reason. These two together are magic and made this book come alive.

4.75/5 ⭐️
"Are you trying to wreck me, Ezra
Patterson?"
"I guess I'm hoping you'll meet me there, Savannah, because that's what I've been since the moment I met you."
This has easily been my favorite book in this series! The whole time I was on the edge of my seat trying to figure out what would happen next. Once I picked up this book I could not put it down! It was so nice to see Ezra and Savannah find a safe place in each other. The way they helped one another heal? I am not ok. They were the definition of soulmates! The way they were truly just meant for one another? Top tier. This book was so much more than just a romance, it was Savannah doing whatever she can for the people she loves. All the sacrifices she has made over the years for her sister because it was always those two against the world? That’s the true definition of sisterly love. The love she developed for Ezra’s children? You can only hope for that as a “bonus parent.” Watching Savannah truly come into this found family and just finding her own story was a breath of fresh air. You love to see the tortured heroine get her happy ending, especially when she truly deserves it. I can’t wait for y’all to read this book and be as blown away as I was! And I truly cant wait for Cody’s book and to see him finally get his own happy ending!
