Falling Through Time

It was entertaining, but it lacked the real danger that was present in the previous books.<br>Here the only danger is psychological: will they remain together or not.<br><br>It was nicely written, but it was really dragged out. <br><br>I was so looking forward to Reilly's book and I was let down...<br><br>Reilly, instead of being the man of action, a man without fear, here was a teenage boy afraid of its own shadow! He just couldn't decide nothing! Shall he tell Gwen that she's his mate? What if she reject him? What if he has to keep time-hopping and she remains alone? And will she love him still? What if, what if, what if.... <br> <img src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/hostedimages/1527687599i/25620842.jpg" class="gr-hostedUserImg" loading="lazy"><br><br><br>Gwen was better, because she knew she was in love with Reilly and she did everything in her power to let him know, but since he kept rejecting her she was very obviously afraid to believe his change of mind.<br><br>So, you see, this book is one long, long drama-lama...

This definitely wasn’t my favourite book out of the series and I was a bit disappointed with it as an ending. I just didn’t care for these two characters as much and their story got to be a bit tedious at times. I do still love the other characters though and just getting glimpses of them was worth reading this book despite my other complaints.

4.5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ In this entire book, there was one thing that annoyed me the most so I’m just going to get it out of the way first. I honestly liked Gwen’s fiancé Anthony. <br /><br />He may have said some thoughtless things about her rich friends/family(he’s only human) and might have been a little heavy-handed when it came to her friendship with Reilly but….Who Wouldn’t! Reilly would intimidate even the most confident of men. Anthony was in love with Gwen and he had every reason to be weary of Reilly. Men always know if someone else is interested in their significant other, it’s a known fact that they have a radar ?. So I truly believe that he was a really sweet guy but Gwen’s choices put him between a rock and a hard place. And naturally he was threatened by her and Reilly’s relationship??‍♀️ However, I’m glad the author didn’t turn him into a jerk for the sake of getting Reilly and Gwen together. Rather, Anthony &amp; Gwen’s relationship ended as one would expect, considering the circumstances. <br /><br />That minor problem aside, I would be a liar if I said I wanted Gwen to end up with anyone but Reilly. He has always been my favorite character of the series. He’s big, strong and stern but has a kind and tender heart when it comes to those he loves. He also loved to tease them which was always enjoyable. Reilly endured so much for so long that there was no one more deserving of true love than him. When he realized that his time left with Gwen was limited, he moved mountains to be with her and I loved how hard he worked to woo her and show how he truly felt about her. <br /><br />Gwen, although she did treat Anthony unfairly, was an great character. Aside from being stubborn, she was bold, witty, funny and a great friend to Ellie. I loved her banters with Ry. Their chemistry was off the charts. They also had a great friendship and I enjoyed seeing her fall even more in love with Reilly. Seeing Reilly struggle with a burden he carried around for so long, unable to get any relief just broke my heart but I’m so happy he finally got his HEA. Thoroughly enjoyed this one.<br /><br /><br />Content: Clean, Kissing, Moderate Violence, Mild language (BOOK BOYFRIEND #13 ?)

Falling Through Time by Nancy Scanlon<br />Mists of Fate #4<br /><br />Reilly O’Malley is a hunk and a half BUT kind of dense when it comes to Gwendolyn Allen. He might have wanted to give her time to grow up but after ten years of being in the friend-zone with her she is ready to move on and find her happily ever after…especially when something rather dreadful happens in Venezuela. The man she decides to marry is not interested in letter Gwen stay besties with Reilly and can see, even if she can’t, that Reilly wants a whole lot more than friendship. It takes most of the book for Reilly to finally realize that if he doesn’t make a move soon he will lose Gwen AND the Fates step in to make things worse…until they step in again to make things better. For the most part this was an enjoyable book BUT I really got frustrated with both Gwen and Reilly from time to time. For people that were so “smart” they said and did some rather unsmart things. It seems that the next book will be one about a woman stepping into the defender-time traveler business and I am curious to find out how that might turn out.<br /><br />Thank you to NetGalley and Diversion Books for the ARC – This is my honest review. <br /><br />3-4 Stars<br />

Reilly O’Malley has been certain of everything except Gwendolyn Allen. He’s been in love with her for ten years, but he’s afraid of committing to his “life mate”. When Gwen learns that all Protectors are destined for one woman only Gwen has finally realized she’s not his life mate. Gwen gives up on Reilly ever returning her feeling is trying to move on and marry another man, a man to build a life with and have a family. How like a man to decide to change his feeling on claiming his mate when she decides to get married to someone else. Gwen and Reilly really are soul mates, they don’t feel complete unless their together. For Gwen she never feels any safer than when she is with Reilly. Now Reilly has his hands full trying to figure out to convince Gwen he really does love her and only her. An enchanting story of two stubborn people who desperately love one another, but won’t admit it. Read along to see how the tide turns and love wins the day every time. This is my honest opinions after I voluntarily read a copy of this book that was provided to me with no requirements for a review.

Best book of this series of 4.

When Gwendolyn “Gwen” Allen first meets Reilly “Ry” O’Malley he saves her from an unsavory character. Gwen falls for Ry immediately and makes her feelings known that she loves him. Ry tells Gwen that she can’t fall for someone like him but instead offers to be her friend. As Gwen grows up there is one constant in her life, Ry, who utterly becomes her best friend. So, Gwen runs away from her feelings of love and leaves for Venezuela. Gwen stays away and even meets a worthy guy that even proposes to her. Gwen feels as if she can’t refuse so accepts. While Gwen is in Venezuela, she is almost killed yet manages to survive along with her betrothed. Gwen goes home and luckily Ry is there waiting for her. Gwen is so happy to see Ry that she hugs him. Ry is so glad that Gwen is home until he meets Gwen’s soon to be husband. The more Ry meets Gwen’s guy he doesn’t like him and realizes that in truth he really loves Gwen. Ry is approached by the Fates and Ry lets slip that Gwen is his soul mate. The only problem Ry will have to convince Gwen to give up on being betrothed and love him instead. <br />This is truly an amazing time travel story that I enjoyed reading! I did have trouble putting it down too. Yes, it is the last book in the series and there is some confusion because I didn’t read the other books in the series. I would have benefitted from reading the first three books just so I could learn the other characters. So, at first, I did have some difficulty getting into the story because of that but as soon as I did get into the story, I was just enjoying it. I just loved Gwen her spirit and independence! Okay maybe I had a bit of a girl crush on her too. Reilly did bother me especially when he was just so ignorant to Gwen’s love. I almost wanted to slap or shake him because he really deserved it. Still, he wasn’t a bad guy he just needed to say what he was feeling, yet I did understand his reticence too. Yes, it was a true page-turner but there is one big loose end at the end, that hopefully Ms. Nancy Scanlon will write more about Claire. I do plan to read the other book in the series now after reading this book though now.

<strong>Oh man, what a story...!</strong><br /><br />I loved Reilly from the moment I met him in Bri's book, but as the series progressed, my questions about him intensified. The long wait for answers finally arrived in this book!<br /><br />Gosh, what a tumultuous ride Ms Scanlon dragged me through in time. The stakes were immense. Despite Gwen's determination in life, her internal battle against her love for Reilly ran the show. And the consistent pull to each other as one or the other stepped away almost did my head in.<br /><br />Those blasted Fates. I wanted to scream at Gwen and Reilly sometimes (okay, pretty much all the time), regardless of where they found themselves in history. The miscommunication, the confusion, and the tricky Fates fueled my need to get to the end of the book... which I did at 0312 this morning. *yawns*<br /><br />What an epic journey and a fabulous ending, not to mention a crazy set up for the next book. Yikes!!

Ah, Reilly. Everyone’s favorite hunky warrior by book 4, right? Book 3 eludes to his dabbling with Gwen, but aside from his role as Protector &amp; his unfailing devotion to Bri, we don’t see much of his personal life until now. The connection between Reilly &amp; Gwen is electric- but - as per usual, their wires are crossed. This was yet another installment I simply could not put down. I loved the fiery nature of Gwen, and her contrast to Reilly was perfection. Every part of this one has you rooting (yelling?) for their HEA. The steamy connection does not disappoint, (but also is never trashy). The ending is a stellar twist, can’t wait to see what the next book brings! I’m so sad it’s over (for now).

<strong>Love lasts All through the ages!</strong><br /><br />I love the whole series, "Mists of Fate" ! Riley and Gwen are two forever mates but Riley due to his erroneous thinking keeps holding off of claiming Gwen as his Forever Mate and she has decided to leave him behind to find someone who will love her. The Fates have given Riley just 3 weeks to have Gwen claim him as her mate or...........to find out if Gwen accepts Riley you'll have to read this fantastic book and BTW I couldn't put it Doan there was so many twists and turns! You are in for a wonderful life-changing experience as Riley and Gwen found out!!!!!!!!!!
