Solid read. The romance was good and they had chemistry. The ending, however, felt anticlimactic. It didn't feel as if there was much explained regarding the visions and their history. It was a good read but I was left wanting a few more answers.
I´m honestly in love with this book, it was amazing.
I love a great romance with a mix of historic info and some "magic" sprinkled around.
Bridget and Liam together are explosive even though he is an a*hole at the beginning the chemistry between the two is awesome.
I loved the world building it was tied beautifully with all the tidbits of information from the jumps to the past.
I also want to say I knew it, I´m proud to say I caught the bad guy almost since the start.
This book is worth every second you spend reading it and then some. It´s witty, sexy and mysterious. Did I mentioned sexy, cause yeah!!! The sexy time is fantastic without being too overly descriptive.
I loved the way things were left with the jumps to the past and how it was tied up perfectly with a little touch of magic.
I can´t wait for this book to be printed so I can buy it for my collection. It´s THAT good
This book reminded me a bit of Beautiful Creatures.
We have the flashbacks of past lovers that are reminiscent of the two protagonists and there is a nefarious force working against them.
I really enjoyed how the flashbacks/visions were written here. I think they drew the reader into the story even more and were captivating to read. They also blended perfectly with the present day. I think the author included historical facts in a way that made them interesting rather than lecture-like.
The mystery was intriguing and I liked how it was resolved.
The romance was wonderful too. Who doesn't love a grumpy Irishman neighbor?
Overall, a very enjoyable time-travel romance.
Forever Bound by Jessica Dall was freaking outta this world amazing!
This was one of those finished in one damn day reads.
I don't get my laundry done or do the dishes but that's all ok because I was thrown into a world I didn't want to escape from!
Bridget was a terrific protagonist. And adding Liam into mix was phenomenal.
I loved her story and how she wants to renovate an old Irish Castle she bought outside the Village of Shansally, Ireland.
My first time reading Dall's work and I'm impressed.
Her writing kept me engaged and entertained throughout the novel.
The historical parts were beyond amazing. It was a nice touch to it all.
Overall, I enjoyed it. Would recommend it. And can't wait to read more from this author in the future.

Thank You for your generosity and gifting me a copy of this eARC!
Forever Bound is the first novel I have read from this author, I was drawn in by the blurb. From the minute Bridget Marshall began renovating the old Irish Castle she bought outside the Village of Shansally, Ireland (pop. 119) she’d been on the verge of being labeled another “Silly American.” But after years of managing other people’s hotels, she’s ready to run one herself. And nothing will get in her way, not even her grumpy next-door neighbor, Liam O’Flannagain. Soon, though, the dream Bridget’s been waiting for is becoming a living nightmare. The renovations, not to mention the budget, are out of control, and someone—or something—is determined to get her out of the castle. And if that wasn’t enough, whenever she’s with Liam, the castle’s ancient past seems to come roaring to life, sweeping them along in a story they’re apparently destined to relive. If she is to uncover the castle’s secrets, Bridget will need Liam’s help to figure out exactly how they’re connected…before the tragic past repeats itself. I really enjoyed this time-slip novel. It was easy to read, and I loved the aspect of the visions. This is one that I would buy in paperback for my shelf. Thank you to NetGalley for a copy of this in return for my honest review.
My first time reading something from this author and I can already aay two things:
1. I FUCKING LOVE BOOKS WITH HISTORIC INFORMATION. AND THE FACT THAT IT HAS ROMANCE BOTH IN THE PAST AND IN THE PRESENT?? a perfect balancE 💞💞
2. You can notice that the author has a style in which she writes in a concise and direct way that helps the reader to understand her novels more easily. Even when reading the parts where historical facts are explained, I don't think it has been loaded with so much information as to make me lose.
This was absolutely worth reading. You can enter this world, think with the characters and I love, I love that we can follow their story step by step. Give it a try if you like visions/past, GRUMPY NEIGHBOR (please 😩) stuff and an fmc planning to run her own business? badass and businesswoman, I don't think you need more reasons to read this.
Light time slip novel about American Bridget, who buys a castle to renovate and open as a hotel. But when “accidents” keep costing her money she doesn’t have and two potential boyfriends begin to vie for her attention in totally different ways, Bridget is forced to make some difficult decisions. Add to the mix the visions Bridget and her “gardener” have whenever they touch, and you have all the an easy to read novel. Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for allowing me to be an early reader in exchange for my review.
