For All Time

For All Time - Jude Deveraux

Review copy provided by publisher

 

I've been a fan of Jude Deveraux for years and absolutely love her book. I'm particularly fond of her Montgomery-Taggert books. With her Nantucket Brides series, we get to spend time with the next generation of the Montgomery-Taggert clan.

 

Toby and Graydon are both fun characters and I really did like them as a couple, even with all the roadblocks that seemed to be in their way. I loved that Toby could tell the difference between Graydon and his twin brother Rory and didn't realize how significant it was to their family legend. Toby and Graydon have really great chemistry, though I hated they both held back because Graydon was heir to the throne and Toby was a virgin. I'm not a huge fan of the virgin heroine trope honestly, but felt like Ms. Deveraux did a good job explaining Toby's reasoning for her choice.

 

For some reason, I didn't really realize For All Time would involve time travel. I enjoy time travel books when they are done well, but they still aren't my favorite type of book to read. That being said, I did enjoy seeing Toby and Graydon as Tabby and Garrett in the past. I loved that Tabby and Garrett could be together in the past in a way Toby and Graydon couldn't be in the present. I did like the way they were able to change history for Tabby and Garrett.

 

While there were certain aspects of For All Time I didn't love, I did enjoy the story overall. I really liked the connection Toby and Graydon had from the beginning and loved there were several laugh out loud moments for me while reading. I'm excited to read Ever After, the 3rd book in the Nantucket Brides series next.
