Heroes for Ghosts

A Love Across Time Story

De: Jackie North

Narrado por: Greg Boudreaux

Soul mates across time. A sacrifice that could keep them apart forever.

In present day, near the village of Ornes, France, Devon works on his master's thesis in history as he fantasizes about meeting a WWI American Doughboy.

In 1917, during the Battle of Ornes, Stanley is a young soldier facing the horrors of the battlefield.

Mourning the death of his friends from enemy fire, Stanley volunteers to bring the message for retreat so he can save everyone else in his battalion. While on his mission, mustard gas surrounds Stanley, and though he thinks he is dying, he finds himself in a peaceful green meadow where he literally trips over Devon.

Devon doesn't believe Stanley is who he says he is, a soldier from WWI. But a powerful attraction grows between them, and if Stanley is truly a visitor from the past, then he is Devon's dream come true. The problem is, Stanley's soul wants to finish his mission, and time keeps yanking him back to relive his fateful last morning over and over, even as his heart and body long to stay with Devon.

Will Stanley have to choose between Devon and saving his battalion? Will time betray their love, leaving each alone?

A male/male time-travel romance, complete with hurt/comfort, French coffee, warm blankets, fireplace kisses, the angst of separation, and true love across time.

A late contender for audiobook of the year for me

Oh WOW... I bought this without ever having read anything by this author before, because the blurb intrigued me. I was a bit nervous because time travel is always a bit hit or miss for me. But I was blown away with how much I liked the actual novel. It has everything--action, romance, heartbreak, redemption. And the ending! I caught myself tearing up more than once. This is easily one of my favorite audiobooks this year, and I listen to a LOT of audiobooks. Greg Boudreaux, always a reliable narrator even if I'm not always a huge fan of the books he narrates, knocks this out of the park. Highest recommendation.

Amazing time travel listen!

Now this the first book I read by Jackie North and it is still amazing after listening to it now. I love Stanley and Devon. Their story is so beautiful. Then Greg Boudreaux bring ths story to life. He made an already amazing story and add to it. I just love listening to his narration and he makes me love a story even more.

Beautiful

This is probably my favorite Jackie North novel! I was so excited to finally see it come to audio and I was not disappointed! Greg Boudreaux brought one of my favorite books to life in a whole new way and it was gorgeous!

Not Left Undone

Just wow. I had decided to try this series out after finding out the connect of the 2nd book in the series to Farmingdale Ranch and I wanted to do them order. I’m not sure what I expected but It beat all expectations. I really love the story and the tense moments waiting to see what would happen next. Even if historical or time travel isn’t you go to give this book a chance. I listened to the audio version that was very well down. #CMCon24

I found my true love across a century

A beautiful time-traveling love story between a solider from WWI and a present day scholar who’s obsessed with studying on WWI and the battle that Americans so throughly lost. It’s a love story across a century.

Stanley Sullivan died on a battlefield in France. He was a young man who thought he could bring honor home by signing up to become a solider in WWI and made his country proud. But alas, war is always so very brutal and unpredictable. On his last day on the battlefield, he signed up for the suicide mission to save his entire squad. But he failed his mission and choked up on mustard gas. But miraculously, he found himself on the same ground in 2018 and he was rescued by a handsome, spirited scholar. Devon first couldn’t believe that Stanley is a time traveller, he thought he must have mental problems or he’s a liar. But then he found out Stanley isn’t lying.

This is a poignant, beautiful and sad story. My heart just aches for Stanley and his comrades who didn’t make it in the battlefield. Stanley fell in love with Devon and wanted to be with him but at the same time, the survivor guilt tortured him. And we all know guilt is the absolutely horrible thing that hinders a person’s happiness. I feel very sad about Issac too. But then again, war is always cruel and brutal and more often than not, most people don’t have a happy ending when it comes to war. Stanley is so very lucky to have a second chance in life with a lovely soul like Devon. The ending was just right but I wish we could have had an epilogue. Greg Boudreaux as always did a magnificent job narrating the story. I loved it so much.
