Where's My Slingshot When I Need It?

In a dangerous time before her own...a dangerous attraction.

Amelie Besson is on the cusp of attaining the life she’s dreamed of—until she finds herself stuck in pre-war France, fifty years before her time. The country is about to be under German rule, but her most immediate problem is Henri Durand, the arrogant and infuriatingly handsome vineyard owner upon whom her survival depends. 

The fiercely protective Henri challenges everything Amelie holds true—particularly her hatred of the gift that brought her there in the first place. As the bond between them grows, Amelie will begin to wonder if the life she’s returning to is actually the one she wants, and if her connection to Henri might be strong enough to surmount any obstacle…even time itself.

My Review
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 

First of all, this cover, y'all! He looks like even more of a bad boy than James Dean. Henri Durand might be a bit of a bad boy, but he's also so full of swoon-inducing love, compassion and fierce protectiveness that he makes me want to time travel back to 1938 so I can witness all his hero yumminess in person. 

Amelie Besson gets to experience all things Henri, but it takes a while for him to show her his good side, and that’s certainly not why she traveled from 1987 back to 1938. Her deceased sister has been haunting Amelie's dreams, urging her to find Marie, Henri’s sister, and help her. Leaving all her modern conveniences but not knowing what her mission really is, Amelie takes the leap, lands in the Durand's barn, and finds herself staring down the business end of a shotgun. 

Marie, a fellow time traveler, quickly welcomes and embraces Amelie, but it’s a different story with Henri (see above shotgun statement). Henri has his reasons for not wanting Amelie in his time, but as the days go on, his coolness towards her begins to thaw. As bits and pieces are revealed in this fascinating, complex story and Amelie begins to understand her purpose for traveling to 1938, things get even more complicated as well as dangerous. 

This is the only writer who can lure me away from contemporary romance and have me reading not only paranormal but historical romance and loving every second of it! Her gifted words are beautiful on the page and evoke such a wide array of emotion that I feel like I’m living every experience alongside the characters. I couldn’t get enough of Henri and Amelie, and I’m dying, I tell you. 

Dying because, yes, this is not the end of their story. I really and truly despise a cliffie, but it's so worth it to have met Henri and Amelie and read the first part of their riveting, profound, heart breaking story, and I can’t wait for more! Alas, short of some way to coerce someone to put Across Eternity in my greedy little hands early, I’ll be eagerly awaiting the conclusion to their story in a few months with the rest of the romance world. So wait for the conclusion,, if you must, but do not pass up the opportunity to read this hypnotizing, magical story about truly extraordinary characters!  Until next time, dear reader

Much love between the covers,

BookAddict

Hi and thanks for visiting! I'm a former medical writer (unsurprisingly, writing romance is much more fun than writing about pediatric heart surgery) and therapist (I was terrible at it). I have a couple of degrees that have proven completely useless, and I now live in Washington, DC with my three kids. I drink an embarrassing amount of Diet Mountain Dew, and would exist entirely off of candy corn were it socially acceptable to do so.
