Time and Space

Rachel Robinson I absolutely love your books! The characters you create and bring to life are just breath taking. I've read Crazy Good, Set in Stone and now Time and Space. Love how you took characters from the first book and brought them forward to the other books to finally find their happy ever after. Each book had plenty of angst, I worried about each couple because they just take you over, but they finally surmount their problems and find happiness. Cody and Laney had so much to overcome but they belonged together and thanks to Maverick's matchmaking, so fun, they made it.

Can't wait to see what you bring us next. Hope more Navy SEAL stories are in the works.

These books are so good I will read them again and again.

I'm exhausted. Completely broken down until I don't think I can "feel" another single thing without breaking apart at the seams. I cried for the first time at 8% and from there on out I was either crying, cussing and raging, feeling hopeful then disappointed, being worried, feeling betrayed...by fictional characters!!!
The depth of my emotional/mental distress while reading this book was not normal for experiencing a story that never really ever took place! But try telling that to my heart, because it sure as heck felt real...so real that I had to discuss the moral issues and the decisions made from what I felt like was a WRONG moral compass but which others felt was the right thing to do. That made me even more angry, because am I wrong for hating Lainey so much at the beginning? I truly felt that she was heartless and cold and unfair. I couldn't believe she had ever loved Cody at all considering the decisions she made. The other side of the coin, which was revealed to me from numerous debates with others, is that maybe I'm not putting myself in Lainey's shoes. Can I really sit here and KNOW what I would do if I was her? I'd like to think I can, but maybe not. Maybe none of us know how we'd react to such a situation unless fate actually put us in it.
I went from loathing Lainey at times, to feeling for her and being more understanding, then I would hate her again. I started out feeling sorry for Dax, but soon decided he was a snake and needed to be exterminated- extreme, I know...but I had no control over the intensity of my reactions during this reading. Cody? God, he broke me. He went through a hell we can't even imagine only to come home to a whole different, but just as painful, kind of hell. My heart...or actually, my soul...because it was so much deeper than that...fractured for him. I felt so deeply broken for him, desolate and ruined. So when he made decisions that I didn't think were right it made me so conflicted! Could I be angry at him? I didn't want to, but I couldn't help it sometimes and then I felt terrible about it.
You need to go into this book blind. Please trust me on that. Avoid reviews that give you anything more than the Amazon blurb. I decided not to mention any of the story line at all...because it was so much better for me when I started reading without ever even reading a synopsis. I had no idea what I was in for, and I was swept away into the world of Time and Space from page one, and am having trouble getting out of it now that I've finished!
Definitely the best book of 2016 so far, and I know it's still early but I'm confident that at least for me, it's going to stay my favorite for the year!
