Description

In the last stages of a genetic disease, Ellen Creighton has decided to live out her remaining days at the estate of her longtime friend Harrison Burlington. Harrison cares deeply for Ellen, but as a wheelchair-bound paraplegic, he's never allowed himself to get serious in a relationship. However, he's desperately trying to save her by finding the holy water that is believed to heal any disease.

When he locates two flasks, Ellen refuses to drink one of them because she believes the holy water killed her sister and father. In an effort to convince her to take it, Harrison ingests the contents first, and when Ellen witnesses the effects, she can no longer deny the power of the substance in the bottles. Dangerous criminals are also seeking the holy water, and Ellen soon learns they will go to any lengths to get the powerful drug--including sending her back into the past to find it for them.

Bestselling and award-winning author Jody Hedlund plunges you into the swiftly flowing river of history in a race against the clock in this breathtaking, emotional second Waters of Time story.

    This is the second book in the Water of Time series. (And I do recommend reading them in order.) One of the main characters, Ellen, was miraculously healed from a fatal illness. As a result, her life is in danger, as scientists want to discover just how the healing came about. Ellen is captured and forced by her captors to cross time to the year 1382. When she arrives, she is immediately in danger once again, as an evil Lord tries to claim her for his wife. I don’t want to give anything else away about the plot. But I will say that story is fast paced and action packed. You will not be able to put it down. The author does a lot of research when writing each of her books, and it most definitely shows. I highly recommend both books in this series… And I would love to see them made into movies! :)

    This book was such an enjoyable read. The settings were incredibly vivid and I loved the bit of suspense in the plot that made this so hard to put down. The romance definitely delivers while also staying in the clean romance genre. I highly recommend this book.

    Gripping, pulse pounding, swoon worthy, time travel romance! Pick up this book! I mean, looking at the cover, how can you not? Jody Hedlund’s Never Leave Me is NOT to be missed. Ellen and Harrison, oh my!! Ellen is bright and charismatic and dying, and Harrison cannot allow that to happen. Despite his wheelchair, Harrison is quite a catch and Ellen is just coming to see how much he means to her. The unfolding chemistry between these two is smoldering (while remaining clean). I love the elements of time travel and the creativity behind the science is so impressive. I found myself almost believing in the possibilities. I loved seeing the return of some previous characters. It would best enhance the enjoyment to read book one first. Everything is explained very well, but the story is just set up to be a continuation of Come Back to Me. I received a complimentary copy from the publisher via NetGalley and all opinions expressed are solely my own, freely given.

    Oh. Wow. Now, I am not typically a big contemporary fiction fan (although, yes, this was a time travel novel, so it did also include historical portions), but I even enjoyed the modern day areas of this story SOOOO much! In fact, there was a greater part of the book that took place within the present timeframe than did in the past, unlike the first book in the series, Come Back to Me. And yet I still ADORED this one! Author Jody Hedlund is certainly going to stay on my radar for any future time travel books she may release! She handles it INCREDIBLY well! I have loved both of the books in her Waters of Time series so far and am expectantly looking forward to whatever she may have coming our way next!
