About the book:
Eve and baby Colleen are traveling to Ohio for the Christmas holidays to spend time with Eve’s parents.
After a few days in Ohio, they all plan to fly to Florida in Eve’s father’s private airplane. Patrick will meet them there after he completes exams for his forensic psychology degree.
Nothing goes as planned. The day Patrick is to leave for Florida, he receives a shocking telephone call from one of Eve’s cousins. Sobbing, she tells him a terrible tragedy has occurred. It stuns him and shakes him to his heart’s core.
His life shattered, Patrick knows he has but one chance: he must use the time travel lantern to return to the past in order to prevent the current tragedy.
But once again, the time travel lantern has a mind of its own, and Patrick is hurled back to a time where he must confront a strange, unfamiliar world and learn why the lantern transported him there.
When Patrick comes face-to-face with a mysterious, beautiful woman who looks and acts like Eve, and whose name is Eve, Patrick is haunted.
He recalls the promise he and Eve had made to each other on Christmas Eve the previous year—no matter what happens; no matter if they’re separated; no matter what time or place they find themselves in; no matter what obstacles they must face, they will always find each other, help each other, and love each other for all time.
The Christmas Eve Promise is a journey about the enduring promise of hope and the infinite, unbreakable bonds of love.
My thoughts:
If you like time travel, historical fiction, romance, or anything Christmas, then this is the book for you. This book is a 4th in series and is said to be a stand alone. I would suggest to read the first two books because it will give you an idea of who the characters are and how their connection came to be.
The story begins in modern day 2020. The main characters, Patrick and Eve are a beautiful couple that have a new daughter. It was sad to me that (spoiler) that tragedy strikes so early in the book. However, it does set up the return to time travel and how they will eventually fill the "Christmas Eve Promise."
Although, admittedly, I am not a romance kind of reader, their love for each other is literally timeless and not sappy, it worked for me. I like the idea of time travel and the way it is supposed to happen in this book is interesting.
Nice read.
