Across Time (The Parallel Series Book 3) Kindle Edition
**
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.
*Across Time is Book Three in the Parallel Series and ends in a cliffhanger.

About the author

Elizabeth O'Roark has a bunch of degrees she does not use and gave up working as a medical writer to craft grumpy, alpha heroes and the flawed women who love them. When not writing, she likes to spend time with her three kids, who are now teenagers and wish she'd find a different way to spend time. She can be found on Facebook feverishly debating whether or not "Die Hard" is a Christmas movie and telling people to read "The Hating Game", which she did not write but wishes she had.

This is the third book in the Parallel series, telling the story of Amelie from the 1990s and Henri back in 1938 France and just like the first two I was not disappointed. It ends on a cliff hanger and I’m eagerly awaiting the next instalment.
O’Roark’s writing is flawless in telling this tale and as usual the character development is brilliant.
At first, it is a slow burn romance with a mystery. But more is the transformation of Amelies character. Whilst she lives in the 1990s with greater rights than women in the 30s, does she really?
As Henri challenges her and her pushover girlfriend tendencies the sexual tension rises between the two. But can things work between two from such different times?
I have read the first two books and whilst I recommend all readers do (because O’Roark has never written a bad story yet) you could read this one independently. Although when the follow on book becomes available I suspect it will link back to the first two.
Overall I highly recommend this book and the entire series.
An ARC was received for an honest review.
OMG i could not put th book down and same cas the second instalment. towards the end of the second book I realised tht that across time and parallel work hand in hand. Then all of a sudden the puzzel pieces fit together.
so I highly highly recomend to read parallel first if you are reading across time.
ive had a kindle for many years and never writen a revew. something about the story, characters and Elizabeth's writing stlye just took my breath away.
The series would have to be one of the best ive ever read.
I take me hat off to the talented author.

MINI REVIEW
I took a small break between the first duet in this series, and this second duet. Because while I was really excited, I was also nervous for this story after reading the first duet. I expected it to be quite emotional, and while I found some parts to be, it wasn't what I was expecting at all. I don't mean it in a bad way. I was captivated by this story but it moves at a much slower pace. A slow burn love story that I loved regardless. I think in the end, it set the story up perfectly. Because that ending!!! Wow. I need to go into the final book asap. Overall this author CAN WRITE and your missing out if you haven't read her yet!

Amelie Besson arrives in a barn in 1938 and is unwelcome by its surly and suspicious owner, Henri Durand. Amelie has a potentially bright future ahead of her in the present day, but has some unresolved matters to handle first, which is why she's here. She's still not exactly sure what her purpose is, but in order to move forward, she has to carry out her duties and hopefully absolve herself of some longstanding guilt. Amelie is not a fan of her time traveling ability and would rather ignore and suppress it altogether, which is her plan once this trip is over.
I absolutely loved the dynamic between Henri and Amelie and was endlessly amused. They constantly antagonize each other at every turn with sharp barbs and digs, but the underlying sexual tension is so electric and obvious from the very beginning. Henri comes across as brooding, arrogant and unimpressed, but he adores his sister Marie and is otherwise pleasant to everyone else. He is doubtful of Amelie's motives, but she manages to forge a close friendship with Marie. Henri is my favorite combination of direct, reluctant, perceptive, caring, protective and chivalrous. He says all the wrong things, but his actions dictate otherwise. Nick from Parallel and Intersect is a hard act to follow and I loved him something fierce, but Henri’s brand of charm hit all the right checkboxes for me (especially with knowing who he is in relation to the main character in that duet).
It was entertaining to watch Amelie adapt to a period several decades earlier, devoid of modern day conveniences. She couldn't wait to go home, but any time she talks about home, it was questionable as to what she was returning to. After being around Henri and Marie, she develops a bond that feels more familiar to her than with anyone else in her life, causing her to question if she should go back. I watched her grow as a character and saw her make some significant strides in terms of self-love and acceptance. Henri constantly challenges her to be authentically real. Amelie also has to decide how much to reveal to Henri and Marie about the future during this pre-war era and there are some other mysteries intertwined that have a direct impact on each of these characters. Will they have a chance at the future they want or will their paths take an alternate trajectory? From the very first page, I was immersed and captivated, feeling completely invested in these characters. Needless to say, I cannot wait to find out what happens next because I want answers. If you thoroughly enjoyed Parallel and Intersect, this one is another winner with Elizabeth O'Roark's brand of writing.
