The "Timebound" eBook was published in 2018 and was written by Heather Albano (http://www.heatheralbano.com). Ms. Albano has published three novels with this being the third book in her "Keeping Time" series. 

I categorize this novel as ‘R’ because it contains scenes of Violence. The story is set across the last few centuries. This time the primary character is Maxwell Carrington. 

Carrington has been separated from the other time travelers. Inadvertently one of the time travel watches is found by agents of Nazi Germany. This adds an additional layer of difficulty to Carrington and his colleagues. They struggle to set the timeline back to what it should be. 

I thoroughly enjoyed the 11.5 hours I spent reading this 200-page steampunk science fiction tale. I have enjoyed all three novels in this series, but I think that this is the best of the three. I think that the author did a good job of concluding the trilogy. Definitely, I would recommend reading the first two books of the trilogy before this one. The chosen cover art is OK, but something closer to the plot would have been better in my opinion. I give this novel a 5 out of 5.

Love the final installment of this trilogy!! It is a great ending that tied up everything and answers some questions that I had through the other two books. In some ways, everyone ends up with a “happy ending.”
I would definitely recommend this book series to anyone that enjoys this genre of novels.

Most time travel books deal with characters trying to NOT change history. Our team of traveler's are trying to fix time that has been broken. This is book #3 of the trilogy so this is our trio's last chance to fix what's been tampered with. Heather Albano has done an excellent job maintaining the continuity of the characters. They are comfortable with their team mates and confident they can save the world. Readers have come to know them as friends and neighbors, almost human enough you expect them to step out of the book into your living room. I'm sorry to see the series end but glad I read the books.

This book, like the other two it follows, is amazing! This series is so fantastic! It swallows you in and makes you a part of it! The characters are so vivid and seem as though you actually know them personally.

The writing is so enticing and addicting I couldn't even put the book down. And overall, this is certainly one of my favorite series that I have read in a long while. Maxwell, Elizabeth and William have one less chance to set history right, but it certainly won't be easy! We finally get a bit of history about Maxwell prior to his interactions with his parents, and the end is great and very satisfying.

If you love books involving history or sci fi/ time travel or if you simply like to read at all, because let us be honest, it is THAT good. I would highly suggest trying this series out! I am so glad I came across it and will definitely be back to read it again in a few years!

In Book 3 and final installation of the Keeping Time Series you can’t help but fall in love with the characters. Overall the story is enticing and makes you want to keep reading. Until the end. The key is the time traveling watch which allows them to change history. Since I thoroughly enjoy time traveling novels, this is up there as one of my new favorites.

This last book shows Elizabeth, William, Maxwell, Katrina and the rest of the gang given one more chance to set time right. If they can get past the storm troopers from the Third Reich everthing will be fine.

If you have not, you should definitely read Book 1 and 2 first.
