About this listen

Several years have passed, and the Whitfields, Sheridans, and their extended family must face new challenges and make life-altering decisions. As the hands of time continue to turn, the events that unfold will either tear the family further apart or bring them closer together, closing the gap in time and space once and for all.

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.

Fantastic ending to the series

This series just keeps getting better and better! the stories following all the characters keeps me interested. the narrator is great! she handles the accents really well and I love the fact that she doesn't try to sound like a man for the male characters like some narrators do which to me just ends up sounding cheesy. I love Irina Shapiros stories!

This series just gets better and better!

This book will keep you captured and held hostage until you get to the end. Irina Schapiro continues to wave a fabulous tale of several families living in historic times. Sometimes the events in the characters livesAre so suspenseful one finds one’s self on the edge of the seat feeling quite anxious until it resolves itself. The author has outdone herself. I’m sad to see the series end

A grand finale to a wonderful series

Listening to these last six books was definitely enlightening about the privileges we have nowadays and how time travel would be an amazing thing to do the characters come to life in this book and they become part of your family. I will miss them and hope that she will one daywrite them back into the lives of her readers.

Amazing story

Just like all Irina’s stories (like “Echoes from the past”, “Nicole Rayburn Historical Mysteries”) this one is no exceptional, no matter how many times I reread this story it always seems to get me like the first time. I mean I would laugh with the characters and cry with them every time I re-listen 2 to 3 times,, starting from the first book. That’s of awesome it is!

Thanks Irina for these great stories each one of them,,

Awesome story you’ll never forget!!!

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. BUT start with the first one. Thank you for many hours of entertainment was worth the money.
