This world is beautifully crafted and 100% believable. You'll find something to love in each of the characters, except those that you don't like (villains) and you'll find more than enough reasons to not like them. Each of the characters have their own unique personality that will draw you into the world Monica has created. The relationships between all of the characters and how they interact with each other is fantastic and assists in making this an excellent read and listen. LOVED IT!! From the opening lines, I fell in love! That bantering that comes naturally between siblings was showcased with such truth that you could see the sister think 'score 1 for Nora'.

Johnson & Németh-Parker are such a great fit for Burns’ writing and it was an emotional yet delightful listen. There’s so many characters, from different eras & with different accents. Narration: Duet narration by Zachary Johnson & Stephanie Németh-Parker was perfection. There’s a sweet epilogue and, grab your tissues, excerpts from Nicholas’ journals.

However, their love truly is timeless and I like the way Burns brought them together across the century. As there are two versions of Nicholas & Victoria, only one truly gets an HEA. The secondary characters were fantastic as well: Edmund, Sebastian, Anna, &Nora. This is a bit tricky to write a review for because so much of what I loved about this story were the surprises, twists, and turns. A delicious mix of sweet and spicy, laughter and tears, and uncovering what happened to the original Countess of Guilford. I didn’t always know where she was going to take me, but loved the many layers of Nicholas & Victoria’s story. Monica Burns has crafted a unique and unpredictable story. I loved this unique mix of time travel/reincarnation, humor, sadness, romance, mystery, & suspense. I’m particularly fond of books with all the emotions.
