Narrated by: J K Mannion

Series: Linked Across Time, Book 9

Length: 2 hrs and 24 mins

This takes up where the last book in this series left off with Serenity staying behind to take care of Brandon son. Serenity is scared for Brandon who she has fallen for as history plays out things can’t be changed or it might change things as they are today. There is a fine line as to what Serenity can and can’t do as well as say. Brandon wants all the information since he doesn’t know the outcome he feels he might be able to help things go his way. Serenity will not give that information, but she will do everything in her power to keep him safe.

This was really a great read with wonderful characters, you can fell the passion these two are fighting against as well as the tension to history and how that plays out. Serenity is a great lady knowing when to stop and when to push. Brandon spends most of his time fighting the feeling he has for her. Never would he have thought he would love until the day he saw his son and now with this wild wonderful woman he has found life will never be the same.

I really liked this narrator he has a voice you never get tired of listening to. He brings a lot to this audio making you see the pictures of each scene in your mind giving you a truly delightful audio experience. His character voices both male and female are a delight, you always know who is talking and what they are feeling. There are no repeating of words, no background, no volume changes and if any breaks were taken I could not tell. He gives the correct amount of pause before going on to let you feel the emotions that the characters are feeling. I just love his normal voice it is a voice I never get tired of. His performance is outstanding and really being this audio to life.

This is a wonderful addition to this series letting you see how history could be affected if something is changed. Brandon’s son is a delightful ball of energy that I just adored. This was such a fun listen that I got lost in and had to find out the outcome, it was one I couldn’t put down and listened until the end. The plot is great I just love time travel and how it all works out. I enjoyed the twists and turns, the teasing and picking as well as the passion. I am so looking forward to the next book in this series.

Revenge is sweet but what good is revenge if you don’t know if you did it right on not? Callista has it all line up the plan is set in motion but things never go as planned as we all know. Just as she is about to take out the man who killed her beloved she is taken to another place in time leaving so many unanswered questions. Zane is down on life, love and just about everything else, he has a party every year honoring his mothers memory but this year he is hating all the people around and just wants to be left alone. He is thinking this may be the last year he does this. Now he has to put up with the brother who is trying to find his lost love and is so sure she has time traveled. What else could go wrong, how about a woman appearing right before his eye and the question she leads to with few answers….

I have not had the pleasure of listening to any of Ms. Kline audios, when I pick this up to listen to I was unsure what to expect. She has a delightful voice as well as character voices. I love the nice steady way she narrators with pause and emotions that pull you in. I love the emotions she gives this audio you can hear the passion, teasing, hurt, pain, sorrow and joy through her voice. Her character voices are outstanding you always know who is talking, what they are feeling as well as the power those emotions deal with. There are no background noises, no repeating of words and no volume changes. I could not tell if any breaks were taken it’s a very clean and clear audio that I totally enjoyed. Her normal voice is as wonderful as her character voices. She has a voice I could listen to all day and never get tired of it.

I really love time travel but what I really love about it is how someone would feel if they come from the past to the future. Oh what fun that would be to see their faces as they learn about cars, planes, TV etc. The author has give a delightful story of one lady falling into the future learning all those things we take for granted from fast food to buying clothes off the rack. This was very well-thought-out with great detail and passion. I loved how it all played out keeping the read in suspense. The twists and turns were great, it was an audio I couldn’t put down finding things to do as I chuckled and even laughed a few times. I love how strong Callista and how she messes with Zane, I also enjoyed how Zane worked it all out and how well they complement each other. There are a few questions that Callista has as well as the read, but they are all nicely rounded up at the end with a wonderful twist you won’t see coming. Come take an adventure and see time travel as you never have with delightful twists and turns that will hook you and keep you very entertained. I have really enjoyed this series and can’t wait for the next one to come out.

What it would have been like to hear a beloved story of a tale from your mother only to find out it isn’t a tale but a true story. To one day look in the mirror and see that handsome devil the story is based on, even better to find time tavel has you meet and fall in love with the handsome devil. This is a wonderful story that just reaches in to your soul grabbing your attention and making you fall in love with a pirate out of his own time twisted into another time making a wonderful life for his self and finding the one person who turns his world upside down. It is so very easy to picture this as a delightful movie that would become a classic in no time.

I have mixed feelings about the narration, oh I feel she did a great job but her normal voice is just to cheery for me. I can hear the sun shine when I think it might have been a little better if it wasn’t shinning so loud. Her character voices are wonderful both male and female are great, you always know who is talking and what they are feeling. She can really pull out the emotions of each character as she brings the story to life. There are no repeating of words, no volume change and no background noise. She does have a pleasant normal voice it just isn’t one that sounds natural to me, I can’t imagine talking to someone who is so cheery, and it just seem forced. Besides that I think it was a great audio, it is very clear and clean.

The one thing I really like about this author is she gives such wonderful delightful characters you can relate to. Even though Jack was in an earlier book you don’t feel lost if you haven’t read it. Yes you have a few questions but the author fills that in well that you can read this as a standalone. I do have to say it does make you want to read the other book to find out a little more about him but it is not needed. There is no doubt I love Jack and all he stands for but Elizabeth and her mother stole myh heart as well. I loved how time travel has show this family the newer ways of life that women don’t need a man and should not be forced into marriage. I loved how her parents made plans for her that should she choose not to marry she will be able to take care of herself. It is great how she stands up and tells it like it is, she is very intelligent just a lovely all around person.


I loved this plot as well as the characters, I find time travel so amazing and have to wonder if it is really out there. I know this is one author that makes me believe it is. The author gives you a tale of one man traveling more to the future which adds a little mystery to it. I really loved how Elizabeth was telling the tale and saw the handsome man in the mirror when she was young, then years later she meets him. There is mystery around him and the story of his tale. I thought the author really put some time and thought into the writing of this book writing in a way that pulls the reader in giving a story that touches your soul making you just feel at peace watching these two with their cat and mouse game. The buildup of the romance was delightful as well as the few twists and turns the author gives. We first meet Captain Jack in a past book he really took my breath a way then but not as much as he does now. The reader had mixed feeling in the past book wanting him to come out the winner of the ladies hand. I felt sorry for him and was so glad he got his own story that is more touching than the last book he was in. They say everything happens for a reason which this author has shown. It wasn’t his time for love there was a strong love waiting for him and so worth the wait.

For me this was a great read with a touching romance that I totally enjoyed and got lost in. I loved the mystery and the twists and turns which I found to be exciting.
