Haunting secrets. Broken dreams.
Can love truly heal the deepest wounds?


Sabrina Danvers thought she’d seen it all—until her on-again, off-again boyfriend proposes… to someone else. Someone pregnant. Determined to leave heartbreak behind, she packs up her life and moves to Washington, DC, ready for a fresh start. As a counselor, she’s dedicated to helping others heal, but deep down, she wonders if she’ll ever find the love she secretly dreams of.

Scott Butler has everything under control—until a long-buried secret rips apart the foundation of his past. The woman he planned to marry? Not who he thought she was. Love? Not something he’s willing to risk again. But then he meets Sabrina—fierce, compassionate, and as guarded as he is—and suddenly, moving forward doesn’t seem so impossible.

As their connection deepens, old wounds resurface, forcing them to confront their fears. Can two broken hearts find their way back to love, or are some scars too deep to heal?

TIME WILL TELL is a moving romance about starting over, finding strength in vulnerability, and daring to believe in second chances.


Publisher's Note: Each book in The Full Circle Series features a different couple in a tight-knit group of friends and can be read standalone within interconnected, series-arching storylines.

Believe in second chances!

The fourth and final book in the series focuses on Sabrina & Scott as they deal with past struggles that only aid in the need for a happy ever after. In an all too realistic way that reminds us love can happen when we least expect it. The story carefully weaves the history of the two through their past and present - as always Ms. Anders takes the readers on a journey. So grab something to drink and sit back, you're in for a lovely ride.

Another Wonderful Book by this Author

Having read and loved all the previous books in the Full Circle series and loving every one of them, Time Will Tell met my same expectations. The characters and situations they experience along with the raw emotions they exhibit makes the story realistic and resonates with the reader. The friendships the characters have provide a feeling of warmth. I was excited to read the final book in the series to see how the characters develop. I was not disappointed. The story is well written and is not to be missed.

I just finished Time Will Tell by Annette G Anders! This is the fourth book in the Full Circle Series. In the first book, Turn Back Time, we meet a group of friends who share many experiences together. Each book's focus is on 2 people and we watch them grow and fall in love. As we continue the series, Anders doesn't disappoint and keeps us informed on what is going on with everyone. You will feel as if you are part of the group, or at least wish you were! If you enjoy reading about love and friendships, you will love this series! I would recommend getting the whole series, because once you start the first book, you will want to be there for the journey to the end!

Time Will Tell: Book IV - The Full Circle Series by Annette G. Anders

TIME WILL TELL is the next chapter of this distinct, intimate group of friends which highlights its characters of Sabrina and Scotty.

This newest, and sadly final addition to this 4 book series, has touched on and sparked my emotions that once again has brought to life a journey of love and romance, secrets and surprises in true Annette G. Anders style, to include a uniquness all its own in keeping things fresh and intriguing.

Ms. Anders attention to detail within the genre as a whole with its twists and turns, scenic locations, along with interesting, lovable characters, goes beyond what you might expect as this story delves deeper into the emotional, and suspenseful.

TIME WILL TELL, was for me a wonderfully written story of second chances as the past and present come together in a most beautiful and satisfying way.

While Sabrina and Scotty's story can be read as a stand-alone, I highly recommend you taking the extra time to read this entire series. It's truly enjoyable, and will leave quite the impression...

I thank the author for my personal copy of TIME WILL TELL and for creating a lovable series~ one I most certainly will miss.

This is a wonderful new release. The last book in a 4 book series. Although part of a series, it can easily be read as a stand-alone. I've read all 4 books and enjoyed all of them immensely.

Sabrina is just off a break up and Scott had a break up of an entirely different kind along with a surprise in a sick young man named Jordan.

Neither was looking for a relationship. Sabrina was looking for a job in another city, and Scott was a friend of the group of friends Sabrina was a part of thanks to her brother, David. Surprisingly, Scott interviewed Sabrina for a job, which she turns down, without either realizing the friend connection.

Sometimes, relationships develop for all the right reasons and burn hot and heavy, but how do they turn out. Only Time will Tell. I guess you'll just have to read the book to find out. I assure you this book will not disappoint!

I just finished Time Will Tell by Annette G Anders! This is the fourth book in the Full Circle Series. This is a series but could be read as a stand alone but I have read all 4 books and would highly recommend them. This wonderful book has love, heartache, romance, secrets, surprises, and twist and turns that will keep you captivated through out the whole book!!! In each book we meet a group a friends but each book concentrates on 2 of them. Time Will Tell is about Sabrina and Scott's life. They meet while Scott is interviewing Sabrina for a job, which Sabrina turns down but accepts another job also in DC. Annette tells you about both their pasts and present. This is such a great story and I am going to miss all of the gang in this last series. I can't wait to read her 1st book in her next Series.

Just love her books.

Time Will Tell The Full Circle Series Book IV by Annette G. Anders is a contemporary romance that’ll have you feeling all the emotions, especially love and the belief in second chances. As in the first three books of The Full Circle Series, Annette creates an air of suspense keeping the reader engrossed. I applaud Annette for touching upon certain medical issues without making them the focal point. Instead she uses them to instill the importance of understanding crisis’ and how we choose to embrace them. Time Will Tell The Full Circle Series Book IV by Annette G. Anders was splendidly written giving us a reprieve from the hardships of life and opening our eyes to the beauty of love. I highly recommend this book.

I received a copy of this book in return for my fair and unbiased review.

Time Will Tell Is an enjoyable read! I loved the first 3 books in The Full Circle Series, but this is my favorite. The story of Sabrina and Scott had me hooked from the begining. It was fun reading about them and also seeing what the other couples from this series were doing now. I have been in a reading slump and Annette made reading fun for me again! I'm looking forward to reading her next book.

too many story lines - needed editing

For me, this was entirely too long. The main characters don’t even meet until half way through the book. Did lots of skipping pages.
There’s an unfaithful boyfriend, a fiancée dies, changing jobs and cities, secret baby, sick child, emotionally disturbed sibling, and it goes on.
