Publisher's summary

She first met him in a dream. And now, weeks before she marries someone else, he's appeared in real life.

I’ve spent my entire life hiding what I can do. The things I know. Until the day Nick Reilly walks into my hospital room.

Nick—the man I've been dreaming about for as long as I can remember. I know everything about him, as if we spent an entire lifetime together, and I know I loved him in a way I’ve never loved anyone else...including my fiancé.

Even stranger? Nick’s been dreaming about me too.

Working with him to unravel the puzzle might save me, but the attraction between us could destroy us both.

Just like it did before.

Fantastic and gripping - 5 stars!

This book is one of my all time favorites and the audio version is delightful! Samantha and Jason do an amazing job of bringing Quinn and Nick to life, making you care for them and fall in love all over again!

What!!!????

This was a very interesting book but it took over 8 hours then it ended on a cliffhanger.

The drama is good some mini hot scenes nothing wow. Overall it’s a good read if you need something to help you get through a work day. The narrators are really good.

Ok, so what is up with her mother like really where is the love for you own daughter? Why is the main character so gullible walk away if your unhappy stop letting guilt be the reason to stay and then if you are dying and you knew it would be sooner then later go and sleep with your dream man and be brave to do what YOU want to do.

I had a brain tumor it was removed but the moment I found out all I wanted was to enjoy life, not that I wasn’t but I kept saving money and waiting for a better time to do anything but I went all out I start using my saving and just live… enjoy every minute with my hubby and kids. Thank god am healthy and tumor free!!

It frustrated me I don’t understand why the main character thought about everyone but herself.

Then at the very end when you are hearing another dream and you believe ok this is it, she will finally know the reason of why or who is involved or anything that would shed light to her dilemma nope it ends 😟😔🤨

🎧🎧 AUDIO REVIEW 🎧🎧

HOLY BALLS!! That was incredibly riveting and I am STUNNED STOOPID people. Stunned I say. Just … damn.

I normally would never pick up a book with this type of theme to it but it’s Elizabeth O’Roark and she is my new addiction, so here we are. I am just … Okay, so even when I knew, it still stunned me stooped. It’s the twist of it all. The time travel / parallel universe thing you pick up really quick but the twists just kept on twisting! AND, there’s still a ton of story still to tell!

This audiobook is nine hours long but, hand to God, it went by in a snap! I was in a trance all the way to ”audible hopes you’ve enjoyed this program”, #noliesdetected lol

This book is a few years old with over 2,000 reviews already on Amazon alone, so nobody needs me to spell out anything about the story itself, but I will say this … I’d bet anyone that listening to this story unfold being narrated by the incredibly talented Jason Clarke & Samantha Brentmoor would outdo the reading experience by miles!! #betme

Addicted!!

It doesn’t take long for this book to capture your attention and keep it! As always, Ms, Brentmoor and Mr. Clarke are amazing! Stating the second book now!!

fantastic

I feel this story so deeply and it makes my soul weep. not sure how many will understand that, but some may.
are books 3 and 4 coming to audible? they've been out since 2021 but I'm holding onto hope that they will and soon.

I need Answers!!!

Time travel
Mystery
Intrigue

This was a great first in series.
That cliffhanger though, I need to jump into book2 immediately!!

Quinn & Nick

I really enjoyed these characters and their story. Quinn has been dreaming of this man for years and on the eve of her wedding.. he’s here in real life!!
Only to find that he’s been dreaming of her too!! This story sucks you in, the writing is done so well. You won’t want to stop!

The narrators did a fantastic job, I have listened to Jason Clarke before and he does not disappoint. Samantha Brentmoor did a wonderful job as well. I love when narrators can bring you into the story and give it so much more than when we just read the words!

I’m crying

I love this story so much! The love both nick and Quinn have for one another is beautiful. My favorite narrators killed it as always. So worth the credit! Now I’m sad that I only have own more novel to listen too, books 3 and 4 are yet to be made into audiobooks!

You had me at time travel

I'm hooked. Downloaded the second book before I finished the first. I like the narration. Nicks voice is delicious.

excellent

This was a great book and it kept me on my toes. definitely recommend.

It could have been a 5 star if...

I listened to the first and the second book in the series. Having read negative reviews, I thought "It couldn't be that bad," because of the positive reviews.

The premise/plot is a solid 5. However, the books are drawn out by constant droning of pubescent-like longing for sex. The constant repetition, in teenage-like manner, of what it would feel like to get off, was annoying. We get it! The author might have been deprived, turning the 1st book, and a lot of the second, into 5 seasons of Sex and the City. Can we move the storyline along? I ended up listening to the books at 1.7 speed about half way through the first book and forwarded the annoying repetitious parts.

The book is dialogue-heavy.

The female narrator reads a lot of sentence endings as a question, even when not needed.

If the too books were merged into one, the storyline would have moved along really well.
