A Vision in Time (Time #2) by B.A. Dillon

 

Mia has kept her ability of having visions private, and now that she has helped out Luke and Emma in the previous book, others are finding out about them.  The problem is  that she hasn't quite gotten a handle on when to expect them, or how to deal with the effects they have on her body, and the fear that people may look at her differently because of them.

This isn't her only problem though.  Mia's been hurt in the past, and trust is an extremely difficult thing for her to give.  She's got alot on her plate - and she may end up letting the best thing that has happened to her in years walk away.  She has met Isaac through Luke and Emma and she holding back on getting involved with him.  But Isaac wants her and a relationship with her.  Mia decides to give Isaac a chance, but wants to keep what they have quiet, so none of their friends or family knows.  Isaac accepts this for now, he thinks he can wear her down, but he does have a breaking point.  He knows her fears, and is willing to deal with them - but only for so long.

I really did enjoy that their relationship wasn't an "insta-love" type of deal.  It developed slowly over the time while they were "secretly" seeing each other.  Isaac was truly amazing.  Almost too perfect at times (which I think may be why I held back a star on my rating).  He was patient as any man can be, even more than I would have expected from someone.  But he handled Mia and her family with such love and care - you could just feel his devotion to them.  I especially loved how Isaac was so "in-tune" with Mia when she had her "visions" - and how he took care of her during them and after them, and believed in them.  He protected her in so many ways, and once Mia got her act together, I really started to like her so much better.  She was one stubborn woman. 

I really enjoyed the suspense element in the story of which I don't like to give away too much information on, but it definitely held my attention.   If you're looking for a great romantic suspense story with a hea, then I highly suggest you give this series a shot.  You'll get your "hot" romance, and some intrigue with the suspense part - I don't think you will be disappointed at all.

Tethered Through Time by B.A. Dillon

Have you ever met someone for the first time, and you swore you met somewhere else, that they felt so familiar?  Someone that you just "clicked" with right away?  Someone that you could "open up" to right away, trusting them immediately?  When Luke and Emma meet for the first time - this is exactly what both of them felt, that undeniable pull which also included a few "sparks".

When Emma meets Luke, she's been healing for the last 10 months after losing her husband of 25 years.  She's also been struggling with a recurring dream that is keeping her awake at night - haunting her, along with dealing with her kids being away from home, and now being totally alone in the house.  She's attracted to Luke instantly, but holding back because she's not sure if it's okay to move on after her husband's death.

                        

Luke feels the connection instantly when he see Emma, and shakes her hand.  He hasn't been interested in someone this much since he was engaged over 25 years ago.  He falls hard, fast right away - and he needs to get to know her.  He asks her out for coffee - but the timing is wrong at first for both of them.  She needs to take time to decide if dating is right for her, and he needs to wrap up and undercover case he is working on.

After a couple of weeks, finally the timing is right and they set a date.  Right from the beginning things move fast - they open up immediately about the attraction they instantly felt, sharing their past - and Emma shares the dream that is haunting her.  Together they try and figure out what is going on, and how the dream relates to them, though at times it causes rifts in their relationship as Luke struggles to understand.

This book had me guessing the whole time, as to how Emma's dreamed played a part in Luke in Emma's past and how it would play into their life today.  It totally was not what I expected either when I found out the ending.  I enjoyed the story line and loved their romance - especially dealing with a couple in their late forties, which to me made it more relatable, and understandable that their relationship would move at a faster pace.  The only thing that sometimes "got" to me, was the frequent use of the "terms of endearment" such as sweetheart, honey, etc.  But, maybe I'm just jealous because my husband doesn't use those terms on me!  This was a sweet love story, with a past life twist - that will keep you guessing the whole way - and give you hope that there may be a chance for love a second time around.
