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, 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 Iām eagerly awaiting the next instalment.
OāRoarkās 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 OāRoark 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.

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.

Most disappointed with the ending
At no time did it say it was to be concluded. I will not recommend this to anyone. Waiting enthusiastically to the end only to have it spoilt. Disgrace.

Stunning and obsessive

I canāt believe I fell for a farmer in the 1930ās, but Henri is everything! I began with this book, then read Across Eternity before reading the Parallel duet. It may not be the intended reading order, but I found I was even more captivated with the āearlierā two books because I started here first. This one got me hooked to the entire world Elizabeth OāRoark created and now Iām a little obsessed with it!

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 thatās certainly not why she traveled from 1987 back to 1938. Her deceased sister has been haunting Amelie's dreams, urging her to find Marie, Henriās 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 itās 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 Iām living every experience alongside the characters. I couldnāt get enough of Henri and Amelie, and Iām 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 canāt wait for more! Alas, short of some way to coerce someone to put Across Eternity in my greedy little hands early, Iāll 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!

I would travel across time for Henri!
Reviewed in the United States on 13 December 2019Verified 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 Henriās 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.
