Overall rating

 .................................... The Blurb  ....................................

Calling Anna and Bennett’s romance long distance is an understatement: she’s from 1995 Chicago and he’s a time traveler from 2012 San Francisco. The two of them never should have met, but they did. They fell in love, even though they knew they shouldn't. And they found a way to stay together, against all odds.

It’s not a perfect arrangement, though, with Bennett unable to stay in the past for more than brief visits, skipping out on big chunks of his present in order to be with Anna in hers. They each are confident that they’ll find a way to make things work...until Bennett witnesses a single event he never should have seen (and certainly never expected to). Will the decisions he makes from that point on cement a future he doesn't want?

Told from Bennett’s point of view, Time After Time will satisfy readers looking for a fresh, exciting, and beautifully-written love story, both those who are eager to find out what’s next for Time Between Us's Anna and Bennett and those discovering their story for the first time.

In Short

- Time After Time pushes many boundaries.

- I really grew to like both the main characters even more. 

-  The romance continues to grow and develop.

In Long

Having adored Time Between Us and being totally swept away in the book I couldn’t wait to read Time After Time and hopefully be swept away again. 

Well I am pleased to tell you that this is a great 2nd book and follow on from Time Between Us. I was left craving more after TBU so was excited to get my next fix of Bennett and Anna and Time Between Us gave me that. 

Bennett and Anna’s relationship continues to grow throughout the book as they get more time together and come across more challenges. I really loved how Bennett’s limits were tested throughout the book as he tried to push more time travelling boundaries. I kept thinking 'What if he pushes too far?!'. Throughout the book I was on the edge of my seat waiting to see what would happen if Bennett did exactly that and pushed too far. Stone kept me guessing throughout the whole book on where she was going to take things and I couldn’t help but just wish things would be a happy ending for them both. I adored their characters so much I felt like they were my friends that I craved for them to just be happy. 

I really liked getting to read it from Bennett’s POV and grew to like him even more, he is really torn between two lives and I really felt for him throughout the book. I honestly don't know what I would do in his situation. 

Final Thoughts

So why 4 stars if I loved it that much? I guess I just felt a tiny bit disappointment when comparing it to Time Between Us. I just wasn’t quite as gripped and felt like a big climax kind of died off towards the end.
