Questa recensione è stata scritta per Recensori in anteprima di LibraryThing. Such a fun time travel romance. And a really great mystery. I'd love to continue the series to see where the author will take it after the ending of this. Questa recensione è stata scritta per Recensori in anteprima di LibraryThing. This one isn't for me. Can't even get off the first page. Maybe someone else will like it better than I did. I haven't read a lot of Hedlund's work before, so I thought, based on the premise of "Come Back to Me," that I would enjoy taking a risk on a new series of hers. The basic premise of this series is connected to the Tree of LIfe, the fabled tree that was in the Garden of Eden, There are waters that have been collected from around the tree, giving them healing properties. Obviously there are many who want to get their hands on such an object, and Marian Creighton's father was one of them. When he ends up in a coma after drinking from a vial said to have this special water in it, she becomes the person left to solve the riddle. Through a series of wild events, Marian begins to have visions of a stately knight on a horse. (Yes, it's really a knight! ;) ) William Durham, to be precise. He is a valiant man who seeks to help Marian on her quest, but even Marian isn't sure what's happening. Over time, a relationship blossoms and Marian must face the greatest challenge of her life--to leave William to return to her time, or remain with William as his wife. I am not a typical reader of time-travel stories, but this one was well written with lots of twists and turns. I would think if you were an Outlander fan ( which I haven't read, so I can't judge the similarities consistently) that you would enjoy this unusual book, the first in a new series. I was an early reader, thanks to #Netgalley and the publisher. All opinions are my own. Marian Creighton never believed her father's theories about the Tree of Life and its' healing properties from Biblical lore. However, she does believe in science and, like her father, will stop at nothing from finding a cure for her sister who suffers from a debilitating terminal illness. When she receives a call that her father is in a coma, she races to Canterbury, England only to discover his office ransacked, his home burglarized, and her life in danger. Was her father's coma an attempted murder, a medical condition, or was it somehow self-inflicted? As Marian tries to solve the mystery of her father's condition, she begins to understand more of his work and those who want to steal it. Can she discover the secrets of her fathers condition and if it is connected to the cure her family so desperately needs before time runs out for them all? This was a great book and I could not put it down - read it in one day! I am so glad that I bought this book to read before jumping into my LibraryThing Early Reviewer's copy of the sequel: Never Leave Me! More to come on the adventures of the Creighton family! nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

When I heard Jody Hedlund was publishing a time-travel novel I was intrigued.
Time-travel isn't a genre I normally read as I find it interesting just not very... Interesting as they are so outlandish and, yeah, I can't really say as I agree with them since it is after all time-travel.
Come Back to Me mixed some of my favorite parts of Hedlund's writing with a new idea and into fantasy which I found neat through not my favorite subject.
Now, I can't say I agree with the way Hedlund went about with the time-travel and am still unsure if I like it but it was for sure an interesting idea.
Warnings: 16/18 up due to attraction, suggestiveness and some descriptions.
I voluntarily received and reviewed a complimentary e/copy of this book which I received from the author/publisher. All views expressed are only my honest opinion. ( )
