About this listen
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.
©2018 Jackie North (P)2020 Jackie NorthI wouldn't mind a follow up book, or even a novella, to catch up with how Stanley is doing in his today's life.
It's very emotional following Stanley's stumbling into the present and then being dragged back into the war multiple times and seeing the love grow between him and Devon.
Loved Greg Boudreaux's narration, he was simply perfect for this book.
The sweetest time travel.

It's both uplifting and sad, because war is futile and the author did an excellent job of evoking the feel of WWI and the terror of the trenches over the promised guts and glory.
This is an emotional listen, in places heartbreaking, with low steam but with a tenderness that highlights the couples' connection.
As usual Greg does an excellent, thoughtful performance of the narration.

A gripping time travel story, and Jackie North weaves amazing details of the life of a World War I soldier throughout the novel. I toured those battle field memorials in the north of France when I was in grad school, and Ms. North really captures the aura of those grass covered trenches and fields of white crosses. Very, very moving and beautifully written.
It's a lovely romance as well, with compelling and very likeable characters. I know there's more books to this series and I've got my fingers crossed they'll all be coming out in audio - performed by the talented Greg Boudreaux.

**My original review from reading this book a while ago. I really enjoyed the relationship between Devon and Stanley. I was a bit hesitant about reading a time traveler book but this story was well written and exciting to follow.
I was a bit sad to see there wasn’t an epilogue as I have some follow up questions but am excited to see there is going to be more to these series.**
NARRATION: the narrator does an amazing job bringing this story to life. Each character was distinctive and the pace was great. I would listen to this again.
Wow, such a great story.

The ‘groundhog day’ way Stanley has to relive his last day, trying to save his friends and the battalion, is nerve wracking and cleverly written.
Greg Boudreaux is superb in his narration.
