Time Travel Romance

I can take or leave time travel book in general, this one caught my attention and held it to the end. I really loved seeing this modern woman adapt to her new situation and find love.

I had moments where I hated the lead guy, Gaston. He really takes the cake for macho jerks of that time period. Thankfully he grows and earns his lady love. Celine is too forgiving by far. I hated when she acted a doormat. In the end they book worked it out and became characters I liked. It was just a bit of a journey.

I listened to the audiobook narrated by Julia Motyka, who does a wonderful job with all the characters. I loved her pace and the emotion she puts into the read. I was delighted to see she will be reading the whole series! Really a great match!

The steam is quite yummy and of course perfection when it comes to bodice ripping!! I am always a sucker for these books even though I hate these kind of men in real life. That is the joy of reading.

Disclosure - I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts, opinions and ratings are my own.

Enjoyable story

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes. If they enjoy historical romance and time travel it's a good read.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Forever His?

When he followed her and she had a panic attack, he saved her.

What does Julia Motyka bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Love all her character voices. She is a great storyteller.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

No. So much happens you really need to take breaks.

Any additional comments?

I really enjoyed this book. Time travel and historic romance are my favorite romance books. I thought the story was very good and the narration was excellent. I loved the characters and the plot and her dilemma of trying to get back to the future. I didn't really think the last fourth of the book was believable at all, but think overall a good book to listen to.

Pretty interesting take on time travel

Enjoyed it! just a bit tad too many love scenes even when the guy is very much wounded hahaha. glad they tied up loose ends from the books start that I totally forgot.

Decent story ... but.....

I may be a minority on this one but most of the book I kept thinking “overwritten” & “skip”.

Time travel story good, characters are decent, the story flowed well, just overwritten. Some scenes would get stuck going in a circle of feelings, atmosphere, and surroundings. Reader took some getting used to.

Loved it

The narrators made the story real.
Loved the plot and the ending.

The only thing I didn’t like was the long sex scenes, I just skipped the rest of the chapter.
I can’t wait to read the rest of her books.
