“Turn Back Time” is my absolute favourite romance novel of all time, bar none! The love story between Pearce and Wynter is written in such a deeply personal manner, it resonates within my soul. It transcends love between two women. It’s a pure, unadulterated love story between two people. Period. The icing on the cake for me is that the story revolves around my favourite medical setting - in the ER and operating rooms - with surgical procedures, doctor's rounds, shifts, the canteen, the on-call room & everything trauma/surgeries!! BRILLIANT!
An all-consuming slow-burn romance that began from 2 strangers literally bumping into each other in a bar and sharing a brief but unforgettable connection in the bathroom…The end of the 1st chapter will leave you wanting to devour the rest of the book! So intense was their connection, even during their 1st encounter!
Radclyffe’s deft weaving of Pearce & Wynter’s journey was breathtakingly touching. Such genuinely realistic emotions expressed as both tried to figure their way toward their undeniable chemistry & connection with each other. Funny and sincere dialogue, including their own monologue, made their relationship building oh-so achingly addictive. Their growing desire & intense love for each other but not knowing how to approach it, i.e. Pearce’s increasingly all-consuming yearning for Wynter, Wynter’s eventual realisation about her true feelings for Pearce & how she approached Pearce was written with such personal conviction that it felt so raw, so real. Pearce & Wynter’s characters were created so realistically, I felt like a voyeur, peering into their lives, their struggles, their intense journey, through a window!
Rad’s incredible writing of this love story enthralled me to no end. I’ve read Pearce & Wynter’s story countless times already, yet, every time I re-visit it, I come away physically & emotionally sated, with my heart filled with love and joy! Every. Single. Time. The feeling is absolutely SUBLIME.
A resounding MUST-READ for all romance readers out there!
And when you’re done with it, you should really read its mini-sequel (a short, really), “You Don’t Bring Me Flowers,” to get an update on how Pearce & Wynter are faring after all these years. :) It’s a quick but very satisfying read at least for me bc, obviously, Wynter & Pearce are my ALL-TIME, FAVOURITE romantic couple! :D
