This is the second book in the Mortal Beloved Time Travel series. Once again
we're following Madeline's adventures as she time travels to the distant past to deliver messages
while trying to connect with Samuel in each timeline. The more she interacts
with him in the past, the greater the chance he'll remember their connection in the present.
Most of
the book takes place in Portugal in the 1300s. She is tasked with delivering a
vital message to save the love interest of the prince. However, outside forces
are plotting against the lady and Madeline does not realize that they are both in mortal danger. I loved Madeline's inner voice especially when
she was trying to convey the proper words for the time period. The author does
a good job of fleshing out Madeline even more in the present time frame and
again in the past. The plot moved along at a nice pace and there were a few
twists and turns thrown in. As this is only the second book in the series,
there is a cliff hanger at the end, but at least some of the most important
questions are answered. Ms. Dumond has a flair for writing and fans of time
traveling stories will enjoy this one. Recommended.
I received a copy of this book in exchange for a fair and honest review.

Time Traveler. Messenger. Beloved. Spy.
“I was a
Messenger: I kept the memory of all our encounters, our lives, like a locket
that brushes the skin and bones covering my heart. But Samuel was a Healer: he
didn’t time travel. His kind lived, died, re-incarnated, and he didn’t retain
memories from his past lives. Every year I landed in required starting our
relationship over: from ashes, from scrap… Every place I journeyed had beauty
as well as darkness; all my time-travels were bittersweet.” ~ Madeline.
Madeline’s a
Messenger: time traveling across lifetimes and delivering messages that could
change one life or many. When she discovers that her true love, Samuel, is
alive in present day, but doesn’t remember her from their past, she journeys to
a deadly royal conflict in medieval Portugal hoping to rekindle his memory.
Mortal assassins as well as dark-souled time travelers seek to kill her. Will
Madeline and Samuel be together again in life—or only in death?
