Publisher's summary

Ashley Easton rescues a badly abused horse, deciding to return to show jumping, the passion of her youth. The animal gives unquestioned love, something lacking from her husband, Keith. But when Ashley begins to compete, she is terrified as the show course seemingly changes into an old forest and the jumps appear as real walls, fences and trees. Her thoughts spill through her head in elegant French. As she attacks the fences with an unfamiliar, fearless abandon, she begins winning every competition.

Craig Thornton, an avid horseman, happens upon Ashley's first competition, entranced as he watches her jump her horse, Injun. Mystically drawn toward each other, it's as if they knew the other...but from where? After several missed opportunities, they finally meet, becoming fast friends, their love of jumping horses a mutual bond.

Ashley seeks therapy to address a strange terror swamping her whenever she's intimate. During hypnotic regression, she's stunned to find herself in two apparent past lives, first in the 17th Century, on a fox hunt as the fearless French horsewoman who fills her head while jumping, and again, 150 years later in Philadelphia, a shipping tycoons daughter. Both times she is fulfilled by glorious romance, followed by the terror of their brutal murder while making fervid love in a forested glade!

The doctor says these are figments of her subconscious, but he's shaken, knowing the truth. He realizes those were real past lives, and their killer may be lurking again, nearby.

Ashley and Craig soon discover more than friendship. As these two newly rediscovered lovers struggle to free themselves from broken marriages, others plan to fulfill a 300 year-old legacy of death

Good but

Story was good however the recording was rough to listen to. I'm not sure if it is the download I got or something else.

The mystery keep you on your toes. And the connection between the characters pop of the pages.

History repeats itself

I loved the different concepts of the story: history tends to repeat itself, things happen in threes, and the whole idea of past lives. There were times when I found myself a bit distracted, but everything came back together for me by the end.

I had a few audio hiccups in my copy, but overall it wasn't to bad. I'm very impressed will Denise Kahn's ability to handle many different accents and different character voices.

I was provided a free review copy of this audiobook by the author, narrator, or publisher in exchange for an unbiased review.

Keeps you wondering

I enjoyed this book. I wanted to scream at Ashley for just being so trusting and not paying attention to her lives. The story keeps you on pins and needles waiting to see what will happen next.

3rd time to die

Interesting and exciting paranormal plot. This novel keeps your curiosity going, and really leaves you wanting more!! Recommended if you are a paranormal fan.

Edge of your seat

This is the third book that I listen to by Jorge Bernstein. I love the story about past lives. I believe in them myself. I was on the edge of my seat I couldn’t stop listening to the story. Very well written and the narrator was wonderful. I love how she changed her voice into different characters. I actually thought they were more than one reader. Definitely recommend it The read or listen

A 3rd Time to Die

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

No, there was so much about this book that was not even believable. The hypnosis sessions are only one example. I also did not care for the narration. Her mispronunciation of some of the words had me thinking to figure out what she was trying to say and I felt her narration of the males made them come across as weak individuals.

What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?

I liked the idea of a past life love finding each other again but this book did not do that idea justice.

Would you listen to another book narrated by Denise Kahn?

She wouldn't be at the top of my list but I might give her another try.

Any additional comments?

I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator, or publisher.

my second Denise Kahn audio

I listened to Denise Kahn's The guitar Woman a while back and gave her narration and writing five stars. Looking back at that review though, the caveat concerning distracting audio was evident. I tried to loose my self in George A. Bernstein' s A 3rd Time to Die but I was distracted by the audio. I find that the joy of an audio book is being able to loose one's self in the audio. There should be no effort. I worked with this one. I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

Unbelievable and not so great narration

I understand that this is a fantasy book and, overall, I enjoyed the idea of the story; however, that said, there were too many unbelievable coincidences required to make the story work. I don't know how to explain further without including spoilers, so I won't. Also, the narration was not good at all and all the mispronunciations were quite distracting.

Worth your while!

This book has a very interesting story of love so strong that not even death can stop it. It goes through resurrection until it's fulfilled. I really enjoyed it and recommend it. I must admit that I am not a fan of romance novels. However, this one has a different way to approach it.

I received this book free for an honest review.

The circle not completed

I loved this story going back in time bringing the past together with the present. One thing that bothers me is why would someone marry a man who tried to rape her.
The fact that two people were together in their past life two times were rare. I enjoyed this story tremendously. This is the second book I have the pleasure of reading and again he pulls all stops and puts very good story within our reach.
