It started off as a bit weird - how do you combine vampires and Christianity? But as the story progressed, it wasn't the fact that he was a vampire that was important. All of us as believers go through dark times in our life and we ask why. We tend to forget that Jesus warned us that we would have trouble because we believe in Him. It is how we choose to behave during the dark times that either make us more aware of God and His provision or that we blame Him because if we believe in Him we shouldn't suffer. I liked the ending of the story and it was a great reminder that God will never leave us or forsake us and that at the end of the darkness (no matter how long it takes) there is light… (mais)

This story is simple and entertaining, being very well described by the synopsis. Showing the frustration of a young man bound to a wheelchair, crippled physically, but feisty and energetic in spirit. Spanning many years of his life, the secrets and mysteries that are revealed as time goes on make his life much more complicated than he ever expected. With adventure, suspense, mystery and sweet romance, this book provides the perfect entertainment for a quiet afternoon.

While the story primarily focuses on Mr. Smyth, we also learn about several other characters, as well as getting glimpses into the economic situation and social environment of the time. With several side stories, we're able to follow the growth of several characters, and see how they're all effected by Mr. Smyth's secrets. All these characters mix wonderfully to make a dynamic story that sticks with you long after the last page.

Written well, this book provides an smooth and easy read. Pauline Creeden and Melissa Turner Lee did a wonderful job of mixing many aspects of a captivating story, while keeping it flowing quick, giving it a natural and realistic feel. Overall, I enjoyed this book, and am glad to have had the opportunity to read and review. I'd recommend this book to fantasy and historical fiction fans.

*I was given an ecopy of this book, from the author via Girls *Heart* Books Tours, to read in exchange for an honest review.

Wow! Lovely book. It’s a page turner and soul touching book that let me dream of pure love, the time travel machine invention and the cure for cancer.
My attention was kept from beginning till the last page and I found myself laughing, crying, praying, thinking so deep & craving to read more.
This story is about an impossible love that comes true only with the help of time travel machine. It’s about pure love; sacrifice for the loved ones, forgiveness and about all of us. It’s an emotional book that let us re-think our own lives.
I love Layla and David. Also I like their special love story and sweet clever child DJ. I felt sorry for Mr. Duke.
I recommend this book to everyone and I very much appreciate the author’s work. Thank you!

There are many quotes I've liked in this book. Here are some of them:
“ whatever happens, the pain and sorrow will be worth it in the long run.”
“Whenever I've felt attracted to a guy who didn't meet my standard, I've always backed off.”
“I've always known it was all on me to get it right. There’s no one to pick up the pieces for me. It’s all on me to do it right the first time.”
“When a guy finds out all his dreams will come true and he ends up with the super hot girl, he gets a little confident.”
“Life isn't easy and no one is going to take care of you except you.”
“Life moves fast. It’s over before you know it.”
“It’s the job of the older woman to teach the younger ones how to love their husbands.”
“If we choose to follow one path, we also make the choice not to follow another. When we choose to add some people into our lives, it often means we choose to leave others behind.”
