This book centers around Marielle and Dante, two people whose connection feels so deep and familiar that they begin to wonder if they have crossed paths in a past life. From there, the story weaves through romance, history, adventure, and suspense.

As someone who loves romance, I found this book definitely scratched that particular itch. The love story is compelling, and the author does a fantastic job of making the relationship feel timeless, spanning multiple lifetimes. I especially enjoyed how Landrum incorporated historical elements, creating a world that felt rich with depth.

However, be warned: this book is quite spicy so it may not be suitable for younger readers. If you're looking for a romance with some intense moments, this is definitely it.

The world-building is another strong point. Landrum has clearly done extensive research on the different cultures, religions, and settings featured in the story, which allows the reader to truly immerse themselves in both the present-day narrative and the historical flashbacks. The details in the settings and the character's experiences felt authentic.

That said, despite all these positive aspects, something still felt missing. While the story is intriguing, I couldn’t shake the feeling that it lacked a bit more emotional depth or connection to fully elevate it. Overall, it was enjoyable, but not mind-blowing, so I’m giving it 3 ⭐.

Thank you Netgalley for this amazing read!
The story was immensely gripping and very beautifully written reincarnation! I enjoyed the character's chemistry, the mystery surrounding them and the small notes mentioned between the story made it more interesting and inquisitive to read and learn more about the couple!
An extremely wonderful and unique writing style! Loved it a lot

I am so glad that I requested this book. I really enjoyed it. I think the author did an amazing job, and I couldn't put it down. I was fascinated by the ideas of the book, and I don't want to say too much because I don't want to give it away. The characters were well thought out and descriptive. The plot was flowing so well. I can't wait for more from this author. I highly recommend this book.

Thank you Net Galley ARC and Amazon

Absolutely fantastic! This had everything I love in a book! I will definitely be on the look out for what’s next!

WOW! This is how you do fated lovers. This gave me everything I wanted, found lovers, angst, fighting to get back to each other. give me the sequel now!!!!

I found this book difficult to read. It has what I believe is a great story, but I found it slow. The intrigue woven in is good, but the romance left much to be desired. The pacing and some of the other elements of the book took away from the romance for me.

On the one hand, there is this great story of two souls finding each other again and how it shapes the artist's work and how he sees the woman, but then the way the artist's desire to paint overshadows the romance at critical moments killed the vibe for me.

Not very enjoyable, writing is decent enough but the story structure is nonexistent. It jumps between dialogues so often, in the same paragraph at times, that you can’t be certain which conversation is the current. The story skips events but then refers back to them with little descriptions that I wondered if I missed pages. There is intent to build mystery but just comes off as creepy. The characters are not relatable and remain strangers to the reader thru the entirety.
Would not recommend.

This was a strong start to this series and had that reincarnation element that I was looking for. I was invested in what Brownell Landrum was writing and enjoyed how unique the reincarnation mystery element worked. The characters worked well overall and enjoyed how good they worked with the story.
