Come Back to Me

Waters of Time Series, Book 1

De: Jody Hedlund

Narrado por: Sarah Zimmerman

The ultimate cure that could heal any disease? Crazy.

That's exactly what research scientist Marian Creighton has always believed about her father's quest, even if it does stem from a desire to save her sister Ellen from the genetic disease that stole their mother from them. But when her father falls into a coma after drinking a vial of holy water believed to contain traces of residue from the Tree of Life, Marian must question all of her assumptions. He's left behind tantalizing clues that suggest he's crossed back in time. Insane. Until Marian tests his theories and finds herself in the Middle Ages during a dangerous peasant uprising.

William Durham, a valiant knight comes to Marian's rescue and offers her protection...as his wife. The longer Marian stays in the past, the more she cares about William. Can she ever find her father and make it back to the present to heal her sister? And when the time comes to leave, will she want to?

enjoyable

I very much enjoyed this story. The characters were entertaining and for the most part believable. Narrator did a good job. Looking forward to book 2.

Great from start to finish

I love Time Travel books and this one was very different than most. Very original. I enjoyed the entire book. She did a great job. The narration was great as well.

Premise

*Come Back to Me* is a captivating blend of historical romance, time travel, and faith-driven fiction. Jody Hedlund weaves a compelling story about Marian Creighton, a research scientist who finds herself swept back to 14th-century England in search of a cure—and answers surrounding her father's mysterious illness. The time-travel aspect and rich historical detail gave me *Outlander* vibes, especially the way love and faith anchor Marian across centuries. The pacing is quick, the romance heartfelt, and the stakes feel genuinely high. I would’ve liked a bit more character depth at times, but overall, it's an engaging start to a unique time-slip series.

Excellent story

This is definitely a novel approach to time travel!! Great plot. I really liked the characters but I do believe the male main lead is too accepting of modern feminist behaviors from a woman. A Lord in the Middle Ages? No way no how. His word is the law and would not be questioned. I would have like to see her come to terms with that reality and to have a little more accountability for her quarrelsome argumentative behavior with him. Truth is nobody really likes a boss bitch. Other than that it is really good.

Excellent Story

This book starts right out and does not slow down until the end. Great story, excellent narration by Sarah Zimmerman, as always!
You’ll fall in love with the characters.

slow burn romance

I love the way the story unfolded and the way the romance was written! the characters were given time to get to know and love eachother rather than smutty lust right off the jump and it was such a sweet story. characters are well written and the story itself is captivating! highly recommend

Loved this story

A lovely clean read not lacking in passion. The narrator was good, but her temp never varies and is generally too slow, like every moment is worthy of a dramatic pause. Overall, though, a great book.

Easy enjoyable listen

Time travel meets romance meets action adventure. Very light enjoyable listen. Orater slightly stilted, almost like a computer, but acceptable enough to overlook.

Captivating story

I absolutely loved this book and the performance. It kept me captivated and wanting to continue to listen to it. I look forward to reading the next book in the series.

Beginning is a little slow but worth the wait

Was a bit slow to set up the storyline but once it gets going it is difficult to put down. Very much overall enjoyed it.
