I found the modern day parts of this book very boring at first (which is more a matter of my personal taste than the writing). The story, to me, got good in the second chapter, when the book went back in time. Lady Catherine and Jonathan are great characters and the writing really seemed to go up a notch at that point.
But I stopped reading at about chapter fifteen because I was so upset by all the choices that the characters made. This story seems to be about how a bunch of naive people learn what's really important and who they're really supposed to spend their lives with. But I can't handle a story like that. I became so disgusted with Sara and Catherine that I just gave up on them. I really believe that they'll figure things out in the end. But I have no interest in reading about their struggle to get there because I really can't handle it.
However, if you like realistic portrayals of imperfect characters and you can handle reading about their lives and mistakes, this book may be meant for you.

I absolutely loved this book! I won this book on First-Reads, and it changed the way I look at life on a whole new level.
This is a book about love, life, passion, reincarnation, and past-lives. And It will have you lost in time to a world of your own. The romance is a womens dream and will have you either cuddled up with your spouse or looking for Jonathan. I would definitely be reading this book again and again. Diana's beautiful and captivating words will leave you wanting more of what she has to offer.

This book is an ideal representation of the modern romance, and the struggle between marriage and passion. As a woman of two worlds, Eryn also as Catherine struggles to decide between the man she believes she has to marry and the passion she wants to feel. This book could use some more polishing, the descriptions did not flow as well as they should and many of the events in both worlds were very similar. I was not expecting the emotional rollercoaster ride of a redemptive tragic romance; I usually like humor in the romance I read, so I gave it a three instead of a four. This book is worth reading, though I do not agree with the reincarnation, it brought up the very real issues of relationships of today and “living for yourself” as well as others.
