This was an excellent read as an audiobook. The narration was wonderful and added to the story. I enjoyed the time changes and how both viewpoints married beautifully together to tell the whole story. A mix of historical romance with some thriller characteristics, this book kept me engaged and guessing what would happen next!

Thoughts đź’­
Unfortunately, I went into this novel blind so to speak. None of the reviews I skimmed had any mention of the events of Chapter 1. If you are someone that is not able to handle detailed Sexual Assault in novels, please do NOT read Chapter 1 or when the events start to take shape in the direction of SA skip to the end of the chapter. It's very easy for someone to get the gist of what happens without having to read the details.

I don't think my mind and body will come back from reading the detailed assault in Chapter 1 to try and complete the book. So please be warned, do more research than I did.

Loved this story and the characters and their banter. So funny in certain parts that I was laughing out loud. The ending just seem kind of “meh” to me compared to the rest of the story, didn’t really have much of a climax, which is why I didn’t give it 5 stars

Literally what the hell is this garbage.
Reincarnation that crosses genders? A man talking about being raped and murdered when he was a woman 100 years ago. His girlfriend is his reincarnated husband? He is pissed if at his girlfriend for not helping him 100 years ago when he was murdered and raped and she was his husband on a business trip.
This is too shitty to read. I’ll never pick up another Nora Roberts book again.
