I was excited to have an opportunity to review In This Moment by Gabrielle Meyer. This is a unique novel involving time travel. Maggie inherited the ability to cross time. She lives on day in 1861, the next day in 1941, and the third day in 2001. She doesn’t age beyond her normal age, but she does retain the memories from all three time periods. She has different sets of parents and friends in each time period. When she turns twenty-one, she will need to choose which time period she wants to stay in permanently and she will die in the other time periods. How will she choose? She doesn’t want to complicate matters with romance, but there is a special someone in each time period. She works in the medical field in Washington DC in all three time periods. In 2001 she is a medical student working towards her goal of becoming a surgeon, in 1941 she is a navy nurse, and in 1861 she is trying to help wounded soldiers against her father’s wishes.

I greatly enjoyed this book. The alternating chapters kept the story moving. The time periods selected were all three equally riveting. I really liked that. I loved that Maggie was able to use her medical expertise in different ways in the different time periods, but that she had to take care to not alter time by sharing information from the future. I also liked the romance.

This is the second book in the Timeless series but worked well as a stand alone novel. I really want to go back now and read the first book!

Book Source: Review Copy from Bethany House. Thank-you! I received a complimentary copy of this book as part of the Austenprose PR Book Tour. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

In This Moment by Gabrielle Meyer – 5 big stars! WOW. Another favorite book of 2023 for me! This Timeless series is one of my favorite series of ALL time. I just love the uniqueness of the story, the time travel element, our characters and the faith content throughout. If you haven’t read book 1, When the Day Comes, please do!

In book 2, we follow Maggie who inherited the time-crossing gene from her parents. Maggie lives 3 separate lives in 1861, 1941 and 2001. In her 1861 path, Maggie is the daughter of a senator during the onset of the Civil War. In 1941, she is a Navy nurse on the brink of World War II. And in 2001, she is a medical student, working to become a surgeon. We all know as the reader what she is about to endure in 2001 – yet she does not. The decisions she must make about which path to choose – with love interests in each time, who does she truly love? With her time-crossing parents and her sister in 1941, how could she leave them behind by choosing another path? And which career decision does she want more for her life? The decisions she has to make will be the toughest yet……We follow Maggie in her journey through all 3 time paths and wonder how the Lord will lead her in her decisions….

Ya’ll, this book was AMAZING. I don’t know how to even describe how much I love this series. If you love a good time travel story with a strong romance and family – this series is it! I loved the romance in this story – I could see which romance was going to be her strongest, but each time period had so much importance for Maggie. I don’t know how you can choose what to do. I love how this story helps us see how easily sometimes God chooses for us and leads you to what you should do. I love all of the history surrounding the war and we get to see big historical figures like the Lincolns and it’s just so unique!

I also loved the plot twist in the middle – I was shocked! Did not see that coming at all. Gabrielle Meyer’s series has just blown me away and I can’t wait to read the next book in the series – because after that epilogue, I AM SO HERE FOR IT! Thank you to Baker Publishing, Bethany House and NetGalley for a copy to honestly read and review. I will be discussing this book on my YouTube channel, BookLoverAmanda, as well.

This book! I read this book slower than I usually do as I wanted to savor it.
This is the second book in the Timeless series and I do recommend you read them in order because of spoilers.
The book is just incredible! It has three timelines, each incredible and the author combines them so effortlessly. I enjoyed each timeline equally. I honestly did not have a favorite; they were all exceptional.
This book has a unique look at time traveling. When our main character goes to sleep in one-time period, she'll wake up in another time period without any time having passed.
She splits her time between 1861, 1941 and 2001 each in very unique and different situations.
There are positives and negatives in each time period, and she lives a very different life in each one. I enjoyed reading the rich historical details about each time period.
Not many authors can combine three time periods and have a story that's not confusing or leaves you waiting to see what the connection is but not this author, the stories are seamlessly woven with a beautiful outcome that I just loved. I eagerly look forward to more by this author.

All opinions expressed are my own.

"My heart began to fill with the knowledge that God had not been far away after all. He had been as close as each of my loved ones, working through their lives to minister to mine."

What an absolutely incredible journey. Gabrielle Meyer won my heart with When the Day Comes; she has made me a lifetime reader with In This Moment.

First things first. To really appreciate the marvel that this book is, you really need to read the first book. It sets everything up so beautifully and just gives all the context you need to fully enjoy this book.

Gabrielle Meyer tackled some really difficult time periods in this book, and she did each one marvelously. The time travel is so unique and well-done and intriguing that each new day in each of Maggie's lives pulls you along and keeps you riveted. Maggie's lives in all of the time periods were fresh and fascinating—to the point where I couldn't decide which one I wanted her to choose.

I loved the faith elements and the Christian themes present throughout the book. Meyer absolutely is a master when it comes to writing a beautiful balance between romance, faith, history, and pacing.

Because I think everyone deserves to go into this book totally blind, I won't say much more, especially about the plot. This book is incredible on so many levels, and I absolutely cannot wait to read more in this series and world. Reading In This Moment made me want to go back and reread the first book just so I could hop back into this one again. These books and this series will stay with me for a long time and will be read and reread again and again.

Full of complex characters, an incredibly crafted plot, and the sweetest romance(s), any and all fans of historical fiction should pick this book up.

Content: Loss, death, war violence, injury
Romance: Just kisses

Thank you so much to the author and Bethany House for the advanced copy. All thoughts and opinions are my own—and I am thrilled to add this book to my shelves.

Oh.my.word. This beautiful and compelling time-slip romance is pure creative genius! I devoured it almost in one sitting because I was so invested in the main characters

Maggie is a time crosser living three different lives in 1861, 1941, and 2001. When she reaches her 21st birthday, she will have to choose one life and leave behind the others forever.

Things I Loved:
Plot twists
Historical events
Fast-paced story
Sweet romance
Light faith thread
No plot holes
The Ending & The Epilogue!
Love Triangle (love square?)

I know, I know. I always say that I don't like love triangles but SOMEHOW this one worked for me despite the angst I felt over which of the three love interests she would choose.

Despite the fact that the book covers some very tragic historical events, I loved the hopeful and patriotic tone of the book. The message about faith and taking a step forward when we can't see the end from the beginning was very poignant, and the positive messages far outshone the sense of loss over the dramatic events that occurred.

I don't want to say too much because this really is a book that you need to pick up blind, but I will say that you really need to read the first book before this one. Just trust me.

Highly recommend and I will be waiting anxiously for the next book in the series.

I received a complimentary copy but a positive review was not required.

I thought I had been tempted to read ahead when I read When the Day Comes but this was even worse! This book was just a brilliant as the first. Maggie had three lives. Three every different and very complicated lives at times. I absolutely loved the historical notes and author notes at the end of the book. I feel the book the author writes is their own, nothing needs to be explained but I did appreciate her added details and inspirations.
I reveled in the historical figures that Maggie encountered and that were mentioned. When Maggie was meeting Clara Barton, I loved her thoughts: I suddenly felt like a time crossing stalker.
Interactions with Abraham and Mary Lincoln were neat. And I of course love her parents in 1941. I won’t say which time period was my preference but the whole book is page turningly wonderful.
This quote also struck. I can’t say who said it but it was powerful: None of us choose the lives we’ve been born into. It’s how you decide to deal with it that matters.
I received an ebook from Netgalley from the publisher. All views and opinions expressed are my own.

Time traveling books have always fascinated me. Added history and romance makes this book a winner!
Margaret (Maggie and Meg) lives in 1861, 1941 and 2001. She lives the same day in each year. Her 1941 family also has the *mark*. They are the only family that know what she is experiencing. On Margaret's 21st birthday, she has to choose which era she wants to continue in.
The author has chosen 3 years that mark great days in American history. I have not read book #1 but I plan on finding it to read.


I have reviewed this on libraything and goodreads.

I cannot say enough good things about this series. The author’s creativity is amazing, and so is her ability to layer a cohesive character across three timelines. Yes, THREE. Being born to time crossing parents and marked twice as a time crosser herself, Maggie must live three paths. This means that she basically lives the same day three times – one in 1861, one in 1941 and one in 2001. She is medically inclined in each time period, and I really enjoyed the layers this added to the plot.

In book one, the only similarity between Libby’s two paths was Libby herself. But with In This Moment, Maggie consistently faces the dilemma in 1861 and 1941 of what to do with the medical knowledge she has from being a med student in 2001. Is she changing history if she uses it? If so, she could forfeit a path before her 21st birthday (when she must choose a path to remain in for good), before she’s ready to do so. But how can she stand by and watch people die when she has the knowledge to help them? I loved how Meyer explores these issues raised by Maggie’s time crossing, from how it affects Maggie to how it affects her loved ones, too. In When the Day Comes there was a lot of emphasis on God’s sovereignty as it related to the time crossing, and while that is explored here as well the author also delves into the concept of free will. The perfect follow-up to the themes in book one.

I thought Libby had an agonizing choice to make in choosing which path to live in When the Day Comes, but it dims in comparison to Maggie’s. I honestly was not at all sure how things were going to play out and, unlike in When the Day Comes, I didn’t know how I wanted it to end, either. Until I did. But I was going right up to the wire along with Maggie and holding my breath on her behalf. There are some stunning twists in this book, things I didn’t see coming, and I’m just still marveling at the author’s ability to so masterfully craft this time crossing reality and create such compelling characters.

Bottom Line: In This Moment by Gabrielle Meyer is another masterpiece of fiction. The plot, the characters, the time crossing ‘rules’, the history, the faith themes – all of it holds you captive from beginning to end, hardly daring to breathe as you follow Maggie through her three paths. Romance abounds in each path, making my KissingBooks heart happy, and while it doesn’t overshadow the story it is a large part of her dilemma for which life to choose. I loved the character growth that Meyer takes Maggie through, both emotionally and spiritually, and I wanted to give another standing ovation in the last couple of chapters. The theme of sacrificial love has been strong in both books, and given the ending of this one I cannot wait to see where the author takes it in book three.

(I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book

Immersive and thought provoking, this riveting tale of a woman living in three separate timelines is a captivatingly compelling read, that had me gripping the pages until the very end.

A stunning follow up to When the Day Comes, it can easily be read as a standalone. I loved this book so much, that I kind of read it more slowly than usual because I just didn't want it to be over too soon, as it eventually was. Maggie is a hardworking young woman determined to make the most of her time in each era that she has been given, using her gifts to help others. I liked her respect for her gift, as well as her devotion to her family in each era, as well as the friends and family that knowing her secret support her every step of the way.

I loved how the author brought each of the time periods to life, each compelling in their own way I would be hard pressed to choose a favorite. I also liked how this book explores questions of trusting God with the future, as well as our free will, and using our gifts. The author did an amazing job handling the romances in each timeline, each man was intriguing in a different way, and spoiler--I love how it turned out!

Overall, easily one of my favorite reads this year, I don't think I can do this amazing book justice as I loved it so much cover to cover, I wouldn't change a thing and I can't wait to read the next book in the series, next year cannot come soon enough! Compelling storytelling, weaving together 3 distinctive time periods into a compelling novel of faith, love, and courage, HIGHLY recommend!

5 ⭐️s.
In This Moment by Gabrielle Meyer, the second book in the Timeless Series, is another time traveling adventure filled with history, faith and family.
The daughter of parents marked as time travelers, Maggie, bears both of her parents marks allowing her the unique ability to live in three separate and crucial timelines of American history, 1861, 1941, and 2001. However, on her 21st birthday she must decide which time she wants to stay in permanently.
Maggie is a self-proclaimed “healer” and works in the medical field during all three timelines. However, she bears the near impossible task of not implementing any of her future medical or historical knowledge into her past timelines. The reader gets a front row seat to the struggles she faces in keeping each of her lives separate while also realizing that all three weave together and define her in some way.
The historical elements of each timeline drew me in immediately and revealed the importance of these events in American history . One small moment could have changed the entire trajectory, and that is the line that Maggie fears crossing. Her caution ties her hands when it comes to creating lasting relationships and making the most important decision of which time is actually the one she will live in the rest of her life.
Wonderful read. Fast paced in parts while still holding to sentimentality and a slower pace in the exact right places.
Thank you NetGalley and Bethany House for an advanced e-copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

#BookRevew: IN THIS MOMENT by Gabrielle Meyer

Do you read speculative fiction? It’s not my usual read, but I just love this series. I thought Libby’s life was complex with a dual timeline in When The Day Comes. But Ms. Meyer had to make it more complex for Maggie with three. The covers in this series are just as good as the inside of the book too.

In This Moment is out of this world with the time crossing, however, there were so many relatable circumstances. I can’t imagine living Maggie’s three paths. She had a purpose in each one of them with a loving family which made it more difficult for her to decide. Every path was engaging and intriguing. The pace was really good. It kept me guessing. Twists and turns made me wonder which path Maggie would choose.

I highlighted so many lines in this book. I cried with Maggie. I felt her fear and anxiety. But I also felt her need to heal and to love. The romance was sweet. I love the lesson on hope and grace, and in trusting God’s will in our lives. It was so touching and enlightening. The historical facts woven within this masterpiece was amazing. I wanted all the details between the last chapter and the epilogue. I didn’t want it to end yet. I will be counting the days until the next book comes out. Historical fiction readers will surely enjoy this book!

Thank you Bethany House Publishers for the complimentary copy. All opinions expressed are my own.

This is a book that you will not want to put down till you read the last page and then you will still want more. "In This Moment" is one of the most the interesting and original stories I have ever read. This story makes you feel you are right there along with a lot of emotions. The story is so well written and woven together using some actual people along with some actual events. I think you will try to figure out how Maggie/Margaret will make her choice, before it is revealed. All things concerned, was it the choice you would have made?

Oh. My. Word. I feel like I've run the gamut of emotions while reading this. Joy, Sadness, Anger, and even Fear!
It was all well-crafted and the ending made total sense. I truly enjoyed this book and it deserves every one of the 5 Stars I gave it!
Maggie was an easy to like character with such a huge burden. You could almost feel the weight of the upcoming decision. I was so worried about her losing a path because of her knowledge and desire to help others through healing. The historical times and situations she experienced were all interestingly written and I loved the glimpses of famous characters.
This book reminds us that God is always with us no matter where we are or what path we are walking. We are never alone, because He is always there.

I received a copy of this book in exchange for an unbiased review. The review is my personal thoughts and opinions.

I enjoyed this book even more than the first one! This time-crossing novel is set in three very pivotal time periods in history. 1861 has the first Battle of Bull Run, 1941 has Pearl Harbor, and 2001 has 9/11. Alongside the history is friendship, loyalty, love, betrayal, loss, sadness, and new beginnings.

I cannot imagine what it would be like to live three totally different lives in three different time periods, and then have to choose only one. This book had me on the edge of my seat wondering what would happen next. It was hard to put down and had me in tears during some moments. The ending makes you definitely want to know what will happen in book three. I would highly recommend this book. If you haven’t already read book one, make sure you grab it and read it first!

I was provided a copy of the book from the author/publisher. I was not required to post a positive review and all views and opinions are my own.

Absolutely loved this book! Gabrielle Meyer’s writing is amazing and I can’t believe it’s taken me so long to read her books! I went into this story knowing it was a time slip novel, but that was all. I was blown away by the compelling story and how well she captured the different time periods, as well as the heartfelt romance. I could not put it down. The premise grabbed my Dr. Who loving heart, and even though I hadn’t read the first book in the series, I quickly caught on to what was happening.

Maggie is a time crosser who goes to bed in one time period and wakes up in one of three time periods, 1861, 1941, and 2001. Each time period is at a crucial moment in history. In 1861, she finds herself in the middle of the Civil War. In 1941, the U.S. is on the brink of WWII. Lastly, in 2001, she’s a medical student living in Washington, D.C.

In each era, there is an intriguing gentleman who catches her eye, In 1861, it’s a handsome British man whose allegiances are a mystery. In 1941, it’s a prickly doctor who challenges her at every turn. And, in 2001, it’s a handsome Senator. By January 1st, Maggie must choose which time period she’ll live the rest of her life in. As she grapples with her choice, she’s put in situations where her medical knowledge has the chance to alter history. Does she save someone who might otherwise die? Which of the desirable men is the best choice? Her dilemmas cause her to question everything and her decision will come down to the wire.

I loved this book so much! I don’t want to say too much more because the story is so deliciously satisfying, and it’s more fun going into it blind. I was still guessing which time period she’d choose up until the very end. It’s so well written that the time crossing aspect is completely believable. Each period in history was so well described that I felt like I was there. I loved the romance and was torn just like Maggie between the men. I also enjoyed the way faith was woven through the story.

It’s easily one of the best books I’ve read this year and I can’t wait to go back and read the first one in the series. Highly recommend to historical fiction and romance fans as well as fans of time travel. I’m definitely looking forward to the next book. I received an advanced complimentary copy from the publisher. All opinions are my own and voluntarily given.

For someone who loves history, this time travel book is woven with major American events and many famous characters.
The author gives vivid detail to take you back in history.
The generation that lived through Pearl Harbor is quickly dying off. Those of us who lived through 9-11 will never forget the shock and fear.
History is there for us to learn from. I’m thankful God holds the future.

Maggie lives in three timelines, 1861, 1941, and 2001. When she reaches 21, she must decide which life to remain in. In 2001, Maggie is a hard working medical student. In 1941, Maggie is a nurse. Maggie and her sister join the navy, and are sent to a hospital ship in Pearl Harbor. In 1861, Maggie is the daughter of a northern senator at the beginning of the Civil War. She loves each life that she leads and struggles to make a decision.

I really enjoyed this book. Each timeline was well flushed out and detailed. Maggie was a fascinating character. She was well developed and easy to love. I think I've found a new favorite author, I can't wait to read more!

Gosh, I don’t even know how to review this book. I absolutely loved When the Day Comes, but whatever is beyond love is how I feel about In This Moment. This will easily be in my top five for the year and my new favorite time travel romance.

Maggie’s story is so complex as she has three different lives/timelines in 1861, 1941, 2001. They were easy to follow and I was super invested in all three. I kept being pulled in every different direction just like Maggie. She had such good reasons to stay in each timeline, but I absolutely loved her end choice!

This is truly one of those books that you have to experience by yourself. Please don’t be deterred by the love triangle. I promise the romance is so swoony and satisfying. And the epilogue - GASP. All I know is that I hope this series continues because I am so invested! I promise you won’t regret reading this beautiful book!

Thank you to Bethany House and Austenprose PR for an advanced copy. My thoughts are my own.

There is literally no good way to start a review for this book. Like every other reviewer, I am struggling to even come up with adequate words to describe my experience with In This Moment in such a way that would convince someone else to read it. Simply put - it is amazing!

Unless I'm mistaken, there's been very few time travel stories written within the Christian fiction genre. (Maybe they are actually out there, and I'm just unaware.) I feel like Gabrielle has hit an untapped market of readers by merging time travel and faith together into her Timeless series. The combination of these two elements has provided me with some of the most page-turning reading time I've experienced in years, and I'm on board for all of it and more. Those who love Outlander but long for it to be told through a Christian lens are the perfect audience for these stories.

I'm not going to reveal an iota about the plot - you can get all that info from the book blurb. If I say more than that, I risk spoiling an incredible reading experience for a new reader, and with this series, I dare not breathe an extra word! I will suggest that you read this series in order as this second story builds upon the first.

So how does this review end? It ends with me telling you to find your way to Amazon, Google Books, Barnes & Noble, Christianbook.com, or any other bookseller to get your hands on these two books immediately! Once you've read them (I promise, you'll be able to get nothing done until you do!), tell all your friends about them, too...just with no spoilers. ;) Without a doubt, you'll see why everything in the Timeless series earns a much-deserved 5 stars.

This book was amazing! Where to even begin? When the Day Comes was one of my top favorite books I read last year and I’ve been eagerly anticipating the release of In This Moment ever since. It was everything I hoped for and more. It is definitely going to be one of my favorite books of 2023!

This book had everything— history, intrigue, suspense, romance, drama, and most importantly to me, faith. It was a journey, and never once did I get bored. I fell in love with each of the characters and time periods… which made Maggie’s decision seem an impossible one to make. That being said, I am so happy with the life—and the person— she chose. I won’t spoil anything but he was absolutely wonderful and I fell in love with his character in the very beginning.

The characters came alive for me, especially Maggie. It was so special reading about Libby and Henry’s daughter. She was such a wonderful main character! I loved watching her journey in each of the lives she lived. I especially enjoyed reading her journey as she worked in the medical field. I admired her courage, her resilience, and her desire to seek God’s will for her life.
Again, the hero was amazing! It’s hard not to fangirl about him so I will simply leave it as this… I fell in love with his character. He was selfless, sweet, and the perfect hero for Maggie.

It was so interesting reading about the three lives she lived. I loved that she got to live in three time periods because there was never any time to get bored. I really enjoyed the history woven into the storyline. There was always something exciting happening or a character that would capture my interest. Since there were lovable characters in each of the time periods, it truly made Maggie saying goodbye to two of them that much harder. I was always on the edge of my seat, uncertain of which one she would pick. I didn’t want this book to end— yet I desperately wanted to know— which life and which person would she choose?

Not only did this book have plenty of suspense, an incredibly intriguing storyline, and wonderful characters, it also had faith… which I really loved. It brought so much hope to this book! These characters’ faith in God really inspired me. It was integrated into the story so well. Definitely a highlight of the book for me!

In conclusion, I loved this book and I am so excited for the future books in this series! If you’re looking for a fascinating time-travel read that has wonderful characters, intriguing history, inspiring faith, and great writing, I highly recommend this one!
