"Across Time is my Top Read of 2019, hands down, no questions asked."—Amazon Best-Selling Author Maria Luis
**
In a dangerous time before her own...a dangerous attraction.

Amelie Besson is on the cusp of attaining the life she’s dreamed of—until she finds herself stuck in pre-war France, fifty years before her time. The country is about to be under German rule, but her most immediate problem is Henri Durand, the arrogant and infuriatingly handsome vineyard owner upon whom her survival depends.

The fiercely protective Henri challenges everything Amelie holds true—particularly her hatred of the gift that brought her there in the first place. As the bond between them grows, Amelie will begin to wonder if the life she’s returning to is actually the one she wants, and if her connection to Henri might be strong enough to surmount any obstacle…even time itself.
*Across Time is Book One in the Across Time Series and ends in a cliffhanger. The sequel, Across Eternity, will arrive 4/1/2020.

A cliffhanger

Reviewed in Australia on 24 March 2020

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

Normally, I really, really hate cliffhangers. I love the complexity of the plot and would prefer it to be one book rather than installments in a serial. Having said that, I've pre-ordered the sequel, because I came to care about the characters and want to know what happens to them. 4 stars because it's unfinished, but well done on hooking me in enough to get me to buy the sequel. It's actually a first!

Amazing!

Reviewed in Australia on 13 December 2019

Format: Kindle Edition

Amazing, well thought out story!!

This is the third book in the Parallel series, telling the story of Amelie from the 1990s and Henri back in 1938 France and just like the first two I was not disappointed. It ends on a cliff hanger and I’m eagerly awaiting the next instalment.

O’Roark’s writing is flawless in telling this tale and as usual the character development is brilliant.

At first, it is a slow burn romance with a mystery. But more is the transformation of Amelies character. Whilst she lives in the 1990s with greater rights than women in the 30s, does she really?

As Henri challenges her and her pushover girlfriend tendencies the sexual tension rises between the two. But can things work between two from such different times?

I have read the first two books and whilst I recommend all readers do (because O’Roark has never written a bad story yet) you could read this one independently. Although when the follow on book becomes available I suspect it will link back to the first two.

Overall I highly recommend this book and the entire series.

An ARC was received for an honest review.

incredible

Reviewed in Australia on 3 February 2020

I read this book first, and awaited the second book to come. in the mean time I loved Elizabeth's writing stlye so I started to read her book parallel.
OMG i could not put th book down and same cas the second instalment. towards the end of the second book I realised tht that across time and parallel work hand in hand. Then all of a sudden the puzzel pieces fit together.
so I highly highly recomend to read parallel first if you are reading across time.

ive had a kindle for many years and never writen a revew. something about the story, characters and Elizabeth's writing stlye just took my breath away.

The series would have to be one of the best ive ever read.
I take me hat off to the talented author.

Unique, Captivating and Phenomenal

Reviewed in the United States on 13 December 2019

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

First of all, this cover, y'all! He looks like even more of a bad boy than James Dean. Henri Durand might be a bit of a bad boy, but he's also so full of swoon-inducing love, compassion and fierce protectiveness that he makes me want to time travel back to 1938 so I can witness all his hero yumminess in person.

Amelie Besson gets to experience all things Henri, but it takes a while for him to show her his good side, and that’s certainly not why she traveled from 1987 back to 1938. Her deceased sister has been haunting Amelie's dreams, urging her to find Marie, Henri’s sister, and help her. Leaving all her modern conveniences but not knowing what her mission really is, Amelie takes the leap, lands in the Durand's barn, and finds herself staring down the business end of a shotgun.

Henri's sister, Marie, a fellow time traveler, quickly welcomes and embraces Amelie, but it’s a different story with Henri (see above shotgun statement). Henri has his reasons for not wanting Amelie in his time, but as the days go on, his coolness towards her begins to thaw. As bits and pieces are revealed in this fascinating, complex story and Amelie begins to understand her purpose for traveling to 1938, things get even more complicated as well as dangerous.

This is the only writer who can lure me away from contemporary romance and have me reading not only paranormal but historical romance and loving every second of it! Her gifted words are beautiful on the page and evoke such a wide array of emotion that I feel like I’m living every experience alongside the characters. I couldn’t get enough of Henri and Amelie, and I’m dying, I tell you.

Dying because, yes, this is not the end of their story. I really and truly despise a cliffie, but it's so worth it to have met Henri and Amelie and read the first part of their riveting, profound, heart breaking story, and I can’t wait for more! Alas, short of some way to coerce someone to put Across Eternity in my greedy little hands early, I’ll be eagerly awaiting the conclusion to their story in a few months with the rest of the romance world. So wait for the conclusion, if you must, but do not pass up the opportunity to read this hypnotizing, magical story about truly extraordinary characters!

Spellbinding and spectacular

Reviewed in the United States on 12 December 2019

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

Another spellbinding and spectacular story by the very talented Elizabeth O’Roark. The story itself is so eloquently written, it’s captivating and it’s absolutely mesmerizing. It has that perfect balance of slow burn and intrigue that makes it impossible to put down. The depth of characters in this story will have you feeling and falling in love with the characters as they find their way. I absolutely loved the Parallel duet, and this one will absolutely blew me away.

I loved this story. It was a perfect addition to the the Parallel series. I was drawn in from the very beginning and couldn't put it down. A tale of true love that spans across time and generations, rivaling war and so many unknowns and uncertainties.

Across Time is romantic suspense with a twist, this tale had me on the edge of my seat throughout; the banter between Amelie and Henri as well as his sister, Marie-Therese is funny and entertaining. Elizabeth gives us strong intriguing characters who you'll root for from the first chapter until the last. I am head over heels in love with Elizabeth O’Roark’s writing and I can’t help but highly recommend this book.

Conflicted

Reviewed in the United States on 26 March 2020

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

I liked this story of Henri, Sarah/Amelie, and his sister Marie. It is a book about relationships and dealing with emotions more than lifestyle details in a time period. I didn't realize that the book ended while the story was unfinished. It was jarring to stop at this point after getting so invested in their happiness. The next book is not yet published, and I really enjoy reading a book, getting a good story, and leaving satisfied at an ending. So I couldn't give five stars to this review.

I would travel across time for Henri!

Reviewed in the United States on 13 December 2019

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

I couldn't wait to read this book once Elizabeth O'Roark made the announcement that there would be a story taking place in historic France. After reading Parallel and Intersect, I couldn't get enough of this world of time traveling women, particularly regarding a mysterious character whom the reader didn't have the opportunity to get to know, but very much wants to and has so many questions for her and her past. This book did not disappoint and carried the same vein of romance, angst, wit and suspense.

Amelie Besson arrives in a barn in 1938 and is unwelcome by its surly and suspicious owner, Henri Durand. Amelie has a potentially bright future ahead of her in the present day, but has some unresolved matters to handle first, which is why she's here. She's still not exactly sure what her purpose is, but in order to move forward, she has to carry out her duties and hopefully absolve herself of some longstanding guilt. Amelie is not a fan of her time traveling ability and would rather ignore and suppress it altogether, which is her plan once this trip is over.

I absolutely loved the dynamic between Henri and Amelie and was endlessly amused. They constantly antagonize each other at every turn with sharp barbs and digs, but the underlying sexual tension is so electric and obvious from the very beginning. Henri comes across as brooding, arrogant and unimpressed, but he adores his sister Marie and is otherwise pleasant to everyone else. He is doubtful of Amelie's motives, but she manages to forge a close friendship with Marie. Henri is my favorite combination of direct, reluctant, perceptive, caring, protective and chivalrous. He says all the wrong things, but his actions dictate otherwise. Nick from Parallel and Intersect is a hard act to follow and I loved him something fierce, but Henri’s brand of charm hit all the right checkboxes for me (especially with knowing who he is in relation to the main character in that duet).

It was entertaining to watch Amelie adapt to a period several decades earlier, devoid of modern day conveniences. She couldn't wait to go home, but any time she talks about home, it was questionable as to what she was returning to. After being around Henri and Marie, she develops a bond that feels more familiar to her than with anyone else in her life, causing her to question if she should go back. I watched her grow as a character and saw her make some significant strides in terms of self-love and acceptance. Henri constantly challenges her to be authentically real. Amelie also has to decide how much to reveal to Henri and Marie about the future during this pre-war era and there are some other mysteries intertwined that have a direct impact on each of these characters. Will they have a chance at the future they want or will their paths take an alternate trajectory? From the very first page, I was immersed and captivated, feeling completely invested in these characters. Needless to say, I cannot wait to find out what happens next because I want answers. If you thoroughly enjoyed Parallel and Intersect, this one is another winner with Elizabeth O'Roark's brand of writing.

One of the best of the yr

Reviewed in the United States on 18 December 2019

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

This is the sequel to the best books of 2019: Parallel&Intersect. That book rewrote the rules for time travel romance. This book doesn't disappoint. On the contrary, it surpassed my expectations on all levels.

It takes place in France 1938, and the authenticity of the period is spot on. The Amount of research that must have been done while writing this masterpiece is hard to fathom. And getting the French all correct? Bravo.

Amelie is chasing a prophecy and a dream when she travels and meets Henri and Marie. Henri is wary and Marie welcomes her with open arms. Marie realizes she's just like Amelie: A genetic time traveller. Born with the ability. Henri and Marie are brother and sister with secrets, and Amelie worms her way into their lives in order to satisfy...something. There's so much to unpack in this nuanced story.

The book brings up honest concerns of too much changing the past or future. Does Amelie tell the siblings about what's coming so it might save their lives? Do the siblings make changes in their lifestyle because of a perceived threat? Or do they all let it just play out the way it's supposed to?

Henri is loyal, hardworking and prickly. But because of O'Roark 's deft hand, his personality is slowly revealed to be the kind of man we all want. (Swoon) The prose is magical without being paranormal in nature. As the reader, you will just accept the time traveling as normal. The chemistry is off the charts between Henri and Amelie. You will want to throw your kindle at their insane efforts to ignore the pull between them. Yes, it's a slow burn, but as you read it, the pages fly by, making their relationship seem inevitable. But the secrets keep coming, and nothing is set in stone when you can travel through time. Cliffhanger at the end, so perhaps you end up throwing that kindle after all. 🙊

Well-written beginning to this enchanting story of time travel and true love!

Reviewed in the United States on 21 December 2019

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

It's been a while since I've read a book by this author and I'm happy to say that I'm glad I did but sad I waited so long to do so! I am a huge fan of time travel stories and Across Time did not disappoint. It's a slow burn kind of adventure with the 1987 Sarah 'jumping' back in time at the behest of her late sister, Kit, to France circa 1938. And right from the start, I knew she'd have her hands full trying to make sense of her purpose and also trying her hardest not to fall for the strong-willed Henri. "Landing" in his barn sets off a journey that takes the newly-renamed Amelie to a world that is rife with conflict as the onset of WWII looms over this peaceful countryside. With Henri's sister, Marie-Therese as Amelie's 'guide', there is much to ponder as she falls hard for the virile farmer, wondering how the life she left behind will be affected.

Even with the slow moving nature of this book, I felt as if there was so much going on, at times I had to sit back and let it all sink in. The mystery of the disappearance of Henri and Marie-Therese's mother, along with Amelie's Aunt is the underlying question that has both women taking chances in trying to find answers that might be better off undiscovered.

In addition, the burgeoning love between the oft-times callous Henri and the determined Amelie is full of unease knowing full well she'll have to return to her time eventually, without him. There is great push and pull between them, with their chemistry undeniable and full of heat. I was thrilled they couldn't resist the other and I shouted a big FINALLY, as they finally succumb to their desires.

The Author presents her own twist on time travel and again, it gave me pause and I knew I couldn't skim even just one word. I will admit at times, though, that I wanted to, since it sometimes felt a bit too slow. With days seemingly taking forever, especially after 'jumping' occurred. But I will also admit that I was rewarded well for my patience, fully understanding the Author's method to her madness so to speak, as the love scenes btw Henri and Amelie were way beyond touching. And worth the wait.

With a very OMG kind of ending, I will be extremely anxious to see how this story plays out with the conclusion, not due until April, 2020. It is very well-written and full of wonderful emotion and truly incredible characters. They are very likable and even those who are a bit detestable, add the right amount of realness to this story.

Reading other reviews, I suppose I should grab the Parallel duet while I wait for book two, since Sarah/Amelie was first mentioned there. And I will since O'Roark is a great storyteller and I'm curious to know more about this world she has created.

A real page-turner with all the elements I love about time travel books, I happily give Across Time 4.5 stars!

I LOVE THIS BOOK!

Reviewed in the United States on 13 December 2019

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

Elizabeth O'Roark has always been one of my automatic reads, but this book is my favorite to date. Her new time travel series (Parallel) is fabulous, and this book is an wonderful addition to that world.

This story revolves around Amelie, who is from the 1990s, and Henri, the man she meets when she travels back to France in the 1930s. Amelie is haunted by dreams of Kat, her dead sister. Each dream is the same - her sister begs her to help a woman named Marie in Reims, France. While Amelie wants to give up time travel and just live a normal life, she decides she must travel into the past one more time, to do what her sister has asked. Her trip back in time puts her in the path of Henri, a beautiful man who does not like or trust her. He is adamant that she leave and go back to her own time. However, after several unpleasant interactions, Amelie and Henri slowly develop a deep friendship. While Amelie knows she has to return to her time, as time goes on, she finds it difficult to leave Henri. She also is terrified of the horror Henri and his sister will confront if they continue to stay in France as WWII approaches.

There are so many reasons I love this book. First, I am a big fan of slow burn romances, and this one is amazing. There is sexual tension almost from the beginning, but it continues to build as Henri and Amelie get to know each other. Second, the banter. Amelie's interactions with Henri are so funny and charming, that you quickly realize these two individuals are meant to be together. Third, the story. It is part romance, part mystery and part fantasy. All of which combine to make this book a wonderful ride. There is a cliff-hanger ending, that will leave you desperately wanting the second book. (ARGH.)

Ultimately, I give this book my highest rating. 5+++ stars!

CLIFFHANGER-feel duped

Reviewed in the United States on 30 March 2020

Good book no doubt about that but very annoyed with a cliffhanger. Abrupt end during a tense moment. Really? It is all about selling the next book. Since the writing, plot line, and characters are all good, why is that necessary? I think people will want the next book without that sneaky ploy. I'm tempted to walk away from the second part because it feels so devious.

Amelie (Sarah) is a time traveler. She goes back to the year 1938 and meets Henri and his sister.
She is beginning to grow very much in love with Henri but has a soon to be fiancee in the year 1987.
Going back is not what she realizes she should have done because of her love for Henri.
Going back though how can she know he wants her the same way.
Being convinced to go back to 1918 with Terese Marie to search for for her mother may put them in danger.
This book ends on a cliff hanger. I'm very much looking forward to reading Across Eternity.

She has her flaws and area for growth, which you see through the book. The H is so beyond studly. He is strong, lovable, loyal, passionate and all the manly things we ladies love. I was on the edge of my seat with these two. They don’t have any kind of insta love. You get to see the relationship build and grow into something so soul wrenching. I cannot wait to see what happens next!!

This story builds the characters and their relationships slowly and yet, fascinating so. No instalove, but believable, surprising, exciting..yes. You'll fall in love with the characters, cheer the heroine who is very intelligent, determined, and brave. About the hero Henri...we should all have a Henri in our lives, whether he's our sweetheart, brother, father, best bud, or fun and dependable next door neighbor. All this good stuff and a plot that would be illegal if it were an amusement park ride. Time travel isn't for the faint of heart.
