The Overview:
When Gabi and Lia find themselves back in the fourteenth century-and in the middle of major battles alongside romantic knights in shining armor-they have no idea if they can get back. Or if they even want to. In the first book of the River of Time series, two bored American sisters stumble on a door to the past, where Gabi is rescued by a handsome knight who vows to love her forever. But there is a rival for his affections, and the girls flee into the present to escape.
Now lovestruck Gabi persuades Lia to help her return, even though she knows dangers abound in medieval Italy, including an entire city that seeks revenge. But Marcello awaits, and Gabi must decide if she's willing to leave her family behind for love.
My Thoughts:
This was a great followup to Waterfall. After fleeing back to the future, Gabi and Lia convince their mother to return with them. Gabi is desperate to return back to Marcello as she realizes that for every minute they dally in the present, a day passes in his time. But before they can go back, Gabi must convince Lia, who is reluctant to return after the near demise of her sister at the Rossi's hands.
After returning, Gabi is reunited with Marcello, and Lia with Luca. Arriving at Castello Forelli, Gabi is very pleased to find that Fortino, Marcello's brother, in better health. However she is horrified to find that Lady Rossi (once Marcello's intended) is now Fortino's intended, as Marcello now only wants Gabi.
This book really shows how much stronger Marcello and Gabi's relationship is becoming. I liked how the sisters were becoming stronger and more independent from the girls they were when they first came back into time. While I am not a huge fan of cliffhangers, I'm eagerly awaiting the next book in the series, Torrent.
My Rating: 4 stars
