In one century she loved him madly, and in another she wants nothing to do with him

In 1844 Ireland, Liam O’Connor, a rogue and a thief, fell madly in love with a squire’s daughter and unwittingly altered the future. Shy and naive Cora McLeod thought Liam was the answer to her prayers. But the angels disagreed and they’ve been waiting for the right moment in time to step in.

Now Liam finds himself reunited with his beloved Cora in Providence Falls, North Carolina. The angels have given Liam a task. He must make sure Cora falls in love with another man—the one she was supposed to marry before Liam interfered. But this Cora is very different from the innocent girl who fell for Liam in the past. She’s a cop and has a confidence and independence he wasn’t expecting. She doesn’t remember Liam or their past lives, nor is she impressed with his attempts to guide her in any way.

Liam wants Cora for himself, but with his soul hanging in the balance, he must choose between a stolen moment in time or an eternity of damnation.

Is there even a part 2 of this book?? I haven't seen it anywhere

I have everyone of Jude Deveraux books but I hate this one it was a big disappointment and there wasn't any ending!!!!

This is my first experience with a Jude Deveraux book. I enjoyed the story but hated the fact that it is a cliffhanger. The main characters, Liam and Cora, are quite interesting and likable. I also really enjoyed the premise that Liam has been given a chance to save his eternal soul.

The building of this world, where a person has been transplanted from a past century into the present one, is also intriguing. The flashback memories that Liam experiences add interest, as well. To top it all off, a murder mystery is thrown into the mix.

I will read the next insallments of this series because I need to know if Liam accomplishes his task and who committed the murder. Jude Devereaux has created a fun and exciting time-travel roamnce that makes for an enjoyable reading experience.

Jude Devereaux is my all-time favorite author. I loved this story!

Deveraux is one of my favorite writers which is why I was so disappointed by this book. All through the book you get only bits and pieces. By the end of the book you're left scratching your head. You get no real answers, nothing is solved, and you're left with a feeling of, "What the heck".

I'm guessing there will be additional books. I suggest holding off until all are released. Although as poorly as this book was written, I'm not sure I'll waste time on the 2nd book. I suggest Deveraux kicks the other writer to the curb and go back to writing books on her own.

When Jude Deveraux writes trilogies, all the questions are answered.

I really enjoyed when Jude Deveraux rights and trilogies. You’re there from the beginning and it keeps going on into the end of the third book. Seriously, you’ll need to read Jude Deveraux books. Buy you some!

Just what I needed right now!

Contrary to many of the reviews I have read about this book, I thoroughly enjoyed it!! I liked the mystical air about it, the characters, and I am looking forward to the next. Maybe it is kind of unbelievable, but so what? There's enough going on in the world today that I will gladly take some fantasy in a book. I don't need more reality-I can turn on the news for that. Yes, it leaves you hanging a bit and wanting more. But I didn't mind that in this case. If I could, I would preorder book 2 right now!! So if that means I have bad taste, too bad!!

First in a Series, now have to wait for the 2nd book!

Reviewed in the United States on November 23, 2020

This is the first book in The Providence Falls series. It is not a stand alone book and ends with a cliffhanger. I wish I knew this before I started reading the book because I really did like it but was disappointed that I now have to wait to see what happens in the next book that has not yet been published. The first romance book I ever read was by Jude Deveraux and I have loved the romance genre ever since. Time travel romances are my favorite and this book falls into that category but not in the traditional way. No one finds themselves thrown into another time period and has to try to find their way back to their own time or has to decide if they want to stay with their true love in a new place. Instead, someone has to correct a wrong from a previous life in order to make the current life a success.

Liam O’Connor falls in love with Cora McLeod in 1844 Ireland. She comes from a wealthy family and his family struggles to survive. Cora is promised to another man so their love thwarts the life Cora was intended to have and as a result Liam is barred from entering Heaven until he corrects this and makes Cora fall in love with her intended. Liam tries and fails over a course of lifetimes and is given one last chance in present day America where modern Cora lives. Liam keeps failing because he still loves Cora and has a difficult time trying to make her fall in love with someone else. Two angels are on his case and won’t be happy until Liam succeeds in this mission. Every lifetime that Liam fails to make Cora fall in love with another man Cora ends up dying young. She will meet the same fate in this lifetime as well and Liam will be doomed to damnation.

The book goes back and forth in time so we can see how their love unfolds in 1844. I was disappointed when there was a murder investigation thrown in and then the book suddenly ended as a cliffhanger and the second book has yet to be released. Who is the murderer? Do Liam and Cora get to be together after all? Will Liam go to heaven or get to stay on earth with Cora? Questions abound! Despite this disappointment I did enjoy this book. It was light and fun and fast reading. It did not have the feel of past Jude Deveraux books so maybe it is more heavily written by Tara Sheets. I would recommend waiting for the other books in the series to come out so that you can binge read them without interruption.

Reviewed in France on November 3, 2020

i'am a madly huge fan of Jude Deveraux, i nearly cry with joy when i receive one of her books, and i would be ready to pay double for each of them, reading is so much better than anything else you can do for relaxing - (although this particular author is a definite career-breaker and marriage unbalancer- as I spend so many nights reading her and barely standing on semi automatism in the morning), and OK,
this book is different, much slower, i liked it, so i could put it down, and the details were a bit more down to earth which is funny when you don't live in USA, and I was reaching the end of the book, wondering how it could possibly end in so few pages left... I am not disappointed, I love sequels, I loved Liam and the angels, I just wish someone would correct the silly assumption that one week or even one month of roommate rent makes a difference in buying a real House! (sorry Miss D.)

Disappointing to say the least

Reviewed in Canada on April 6, 2021

Verified Purchase

The first book I read from Jude Devereaux was A Knight in Shining Armour and I love, love, loved it. This book is nowhere near the same quality of writing. And what the heck kind of ending is this, obviously they want it to continue into another book but I doubt I’ll buy it.
I’m wondering if Deveraux put her name on this book to help promote a new author.
