Description

The past isn't over, it's an opening. The future isn't hidden, it's a trap. 

If she ever wants to see him again, she'll have to take the risk...

Publishers Weekly Starred Review: "Funny, Romantic & Harrowing!"

After reconnecting with the one-that-got-away—and then losing him in a pandemic—Iz struggles to survive alone in a remote mountain cabin. As loneliness and despair set in, she starts taking in abandoned pets—until an ill-equipped, clean-shaven man knocks on her door and offers her a one-way trip to the past. With humanity teetering on the edge, she sacrifices everything, including her beloved pets, in an attempt to alter the dystopian present—and see her lover one last time.

She's rushed into a hastily built time machine...

...and awakens on a tropical beach, buck naked—and suffering from side-effects—but 20 years younger!

With only hours to live, she must persuade her future lover to fix their relationship and thereby set off a chain of events that will erase the pandemic—no one is quite sure how.

Our young hero falls hard for her—a middle-aged woman in a vixen's body—until she blurts out that she's from the future and came to "improve" him.

Turns out, it's not him that needs fixing, it's her—and it's far too late for that.

 Across the infinite expanse of space and time, love endures...

(Unfortunately, it’s not going to be enough.)


The past isn't over, it's an opening. The future isn't hidden, it's a trap. 

If she ever wants to see him again, she'll have to take the risk...

Most people wouldn’t think twice about taking a second chance, but what if you were offered a third? Would you sacrifice your own life just to have a few more moments with the love of your life? *Crossing in Time* takes us on a time-traveling journey where two people risk everything—not only to save their world but to find their way back to each other. The story weaves through twists and turns, ending on a gripping cliffhanger. I loved exploring the dynamics between the main characters and how their relationships with others in the story added depth and intrigue. Their interactions felt genuine and brought an emotional complexity that kept me hooked. I’m eager to continue this series and see where their journey takes them next!

I picked up Crossing in Time because I was intrigued by the mix of romance and time-travel tropes, and it didn’t disappoint. The writing style is immersive, with multiple points of view that enhance the narrative and provide depth to the story.

The standout for me was the banter between the main characters, whose relationship is truly special and kept me engaged throughout. I also appreciated that the romance was heartfelt and emotional, with very little spice, allowing the focus to remain on the story and the characters’ connection.

While I loved the storyline, I occasionally found the nicknames for some of the secondary characters a bit confusing, which made certain moments harder to follow. However, the time-travel elements were explained clearly and added intriguing layers to the plot, raising thought-provoking questions that deepened my emotional connection to the story.

This book will appeal to readers looking for a well-balanced mix of romance and suspense, especially those who enjoy stories about lovers getting a second chance. If you’re a fan of heartfelt, character-driven romances with a twist of sci-fi, Crossing in Time is a fantastic choice.

Shades of the ever favorite Terminator as the world is threatened by a mutated virus and only communication from the future can inform travel to the past to redirect the unavoidable end of everything. Strong characters and subplots keep things going - and the salvation depends on a pair of star-crossed lovers that need to get it right. Ends on a cliff ...

First off, I love the cover, very beautiful. I love the romance, and the banter was fun and witty. The action had me reeling. I was intrigued, and I love that we got more than just Isabels' point of view. I personally love to see different points of view, so if you are not into that, then this won't be for you. I love Isabel and Diego! As I always say, I love the love, ha. Very well done.
