Review of advance copy received from Author
ALL THE STARS!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️all the fucking stars!!!
Oh my heart! OH MY FUCKING HEART!! Truly devastatingly beautiful and the last 15% had my tears streaming! I have no tears left to cry! Fuck! How has this author done it to me again!!! I absolutly LOVED the time travelers tongue, but to write a second book and it be a hit as much as the first is truly incredible!
And they’re so different too! No copy and paste here.
It was a beautiful second chance romance. I love how the characters are so mature and deal with things in a proper adult way. The sex scenes were so well placed and so damn realistic with Ari having her insecurities because yes, as women, we do get in our heads and put pressure on ourselves to perform out of fear we offend or upset the potatoe that’s lying on top of us! 🤣 so this was a great representation of realistic sex scenes.
How Sam dealt with Ari, loved her, yearned for her, did his absolute best every fucking time had me swoooooooning! And don’t get me started on how he approached fatherhood to two 16 yr olds!! 🥹 Sam was amazing, funny, sarcastic, hawt! And I just love how painful it was for him not being able to go back and change it. I love how he didn’t get what he wanted and had to heal from that.
“I forgive you, Sam. It’s time you forgive yourself” — ahhhhh 😭😭😭
The time travel was so good! It felt complex yet so simple to understand and I’m not sure that makes sense? 🤣
I was squealing when other characters I’ve gotten to know over the other books popped up. I love Sam and Rafe’s relationship. It’s so real, organic and believable!
The last part of this book broke my fucking heart! Shred it apart! Tore it into tiny pieces and scattered them in the universe. I don’t think I will heal from that until I get THAT book!
Ari was PERFECTION! Perfectly imperfect. I loved how she had a “mom bod” and she was still fucking stunning regardless! Author did soo good with research on those topics and how women can feel with their post pregnancy bodies and abandonment issues. Just the subtle tug of clothes, or sucking in, or not being able to feel pleasure cause you’re worried with how you look ect I’ve read too many novels where post pregnancy bodies are just skimmed over. Ari was super realistic and I love how she had the ability to make Sam grovel without out giving him a hard time. It was magic! It wasn’t drawn out and dull. At no point was I bored and left skimming.
The girls were incredible! They were different. They didn’t sound the same. They didn’t feel like they were just plonked in. They added sooo much value to the story and the character development and I just love Sam as a daddy. I loved the glimpses of the future with Maeve and Aric! What a turn of events that was!!!
Truly fantastic read. I honestly don’t know how this author has done it to me again! The painful part is is that I have to wait until 1st December for Cal’s story because what the fuck happened to Cal! 😭 who hurt you boo😭

Review of advance copy
I received an advanced copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.
This was my second time ARC reading for JLB Harvey, and let me start this by saying I enjoyed every minute of it. (until the end, of course. If you know, you know.) This story was highly anticipated for me. I couldn’t wait for Aurelia and Sam’s story. I hoped it would be full of angst and longing, and this author did not disappoint.
Sam was a beloved character for me when I read The Time Traveler’s Tongue. Sam is witty, patient, the right amount of possessive, and does everything for the right reasons. One thing about this author is that she writes perfect men. I don’t mean robotic, idealistic caricatures. She writes men with flaws, scars, foul mouths, dirty thoughts, skilled tongues, and the best intentions. Sam is all of those things and more.
This story starts with an indecisive Sam setting off to finally find Aurelia in the hopes of winning her forgiveness and love back. When he arrives at her home, Sam gets far more than he bargained for. The rest of the story follows Sam as he desperately tries to hold on to his new life.
The love story between him and Aurelia is so honest. The time that was robbed from them and those they love is heartbreaking. There were many times during this book that had me clutching my metaphorical pearls. I was thoroughly kept on my toes. The fear of time consequences is ever-present and foreboding.
I love the inner dialogue of these characters and the humor they display, even in the most inappropriate moments. The way JLB Harvey writes her dialogue brings her characters and their personalities alive. The world created is so intriguing; she makes you crave more and more. I love the easter eggs left here and there, and potential couples we may get books for. I can’t wait for more heartwrenching, gut-punching stories guaranteed to make my heart sing. I’m going to go curl up in my bed with my puppy and cry myself to sleep now.

After absolutely devouring the Kingdom of Zolandra series, I was so excited to discover her next series The Unbound Fates.
The first book in the series The Time Travellers Tongue really felt like such a cathartic experience for many reasons and yet was still immersed enough in fantasy to not be too heavy. After reading this I was very excited to receive an arc from this lovely author for the next in the series The Time Travellers Legacy.
Sam, our MMC we met briefly in Tongue, has been through so much and is then thrown into a brand new life he did not know existed and has to reconcile the choices he made to get this new life and the time and experiences he missed and will never get back.
One of the things I love about this author is how she weaves all of her characters into one world so you will often get brief glimpses of characters from her other books in each separate story. Like seeing an old friend again!
Another thing I love, especially in this book is the body positivity. All too often the "curvy' FMC's shape referenced too much and for me it becomes less about body positivity and more about highlighting it to the point of it being her whole personality. With Legacy the FMC is relatable, she is older, has had children and no longer feels the way she did when she was younger. She is insecure and vulnerable when Sam comes back into her life, but all he sees is the life the she been through to get her to that place, which I found really empowering.
It's hard to talk about the story without giving spoilers, so pick it up and give it a read. It is filled with beautifully written characters and plot twists you definitely will not see coming. I can't wait for the next one!!!

Thank you to J.L.B. Harvey for allowing me to be one of the ARC readers of this book. This is my 1st book by this author & I wasn't sure what to expect, but the synopsis sounded good. Without giving too much away, this definitely leans heavier towards being a romance/love story with fantasy woven carefully throughout & my 1st which gives so much detail in certain places. I've nothing I can compare this to, which left me thinking on how to review it.
There's something totally relatable to the FMC, being a mum, having all the body marks that come with pregnancy, but also the emotional pull, the self doubt & 'hiding' we do due to body dysmorphia. Sam has his work cut out to win Ari back & he doesn't give in, he doesn't push too much, but also doesn't allow those nagging voices in Ari's head to stop her from action. The Fates can be cruel at times & I found towards the end of this book I was on a bit of an emotional rollercoaster. I hadn't read the previous book, but it didn't make me feel I was missing information, there's enough back story to allow you to understand the characters.

I was very lucky to get this as an Arc read. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to read this.
Sam and Aurelia’s story is a beautiful second-chance romance full of heartbreak, trust, and a deep yearning that honestly tore my heart apart at times. Sam refusing to give up on her — and the way his grovelling played out — felt unexpected but completely understandable.
The story is full of twists and turns with magic woven throughout, and the family dynamics made the whole world feel immersive and easy to connect with. I loved how the letters were incorporated, adding deeper insight into Sam’s thoughts and their relationship.
This book had me on a full emotional rollercoaster 🎢 and I felt every moment. It’s so well written, and I can’t wait to read The Time Traveller’s Tongue next.
“My love for you is eternal” perfectly sums up this story. I really cant wait to read more!

ARC Review - I did this as an arc and as someone who hadn’t read the first one, I must say I need to go back and read it! Especially in time for the next one!!!! I had a massive fondness for Sam, in a world where girls are self conscious about their bodies especially after having babies softened my heart in the right ways. He tentatively cared for her and showed her so she was perfect in every way. If only all men were like this!! (Please don’t come for me!!) The book explored forgiveness and true fondness of the heart, even after being apart. It was so sweet to read. Anyway, the ending… let’s talk about that. I’m not a crier by any stretch, especially when it comes to books. I might get a lump in my throat and that’s it. But erm.. I was sobbing for at least 15 minutes or so so yeah thanks J 🥲🫶

Just what I was looking for at the right time.
The love story was brilliant.. everything you want in a man the way he adores everything about her lumps bumps and all. The way he loves. ( sex scenes 😘) There’s magic, heartbreak, love, loss all beautifully written. The way he wins back her heart, The way he embraces been a dad to two sixteen year olds, The family dynamic really resonated with me and the loss had me holding back tears,the book brings out all the different emotions and I was right there with the characters all way through. My first book from this author I have already downloaded time travellers tongue to enjoy. Thankyou for sending the ARC and can’t wait to read more of your books!!

Oh Sam 🫶🏻 this boy has my heart and soul. I fell in love with Sam when I read reading book 1. Just his quirky comments and the fact you could tell he had a ton of surprises and secrets. If I could rate it god tier I would and I feel this entire series may be just that. GOD TIER. TTTL healed a part of me I didn’t know needed healing. And I hope any women who has been through what Ari has been through knows how beautiful they are pre and post parenthood. ♥️ I can’t wait to read her other series now x

Honestly didn’t think J.L.B.Harvey could top time travellers tongue, as that book was one of the best books I have ever read. However I can honestly say this book was up there with that book. I fell in love with Sam and Aurelia and had my heart ripped out of my chest towards the end but it was kind of put back together at the end of the book. Amazing read looking forward to reading Cals story in December.

First off, thank you so much to the author for letting me be part of the beta and ARC team! Wow. Just… wow. Sam and Aurelia’s story completely wrecked me in the best way.
I truly can’t put into words how much I loved this book. I could not put it down! Without giving too much away, this second-chance romance has everything — yearning, love, heartbreak, trust, and the kind of groveling that makes your heart ache in the best way. Sam really has to work to win back the love of his life, and watching him put in that effort? Absolutely everything.
Add time travel into the mix, and you’ve got a fantastic storyline packed with twists and turns that kept me hooked from beginning to end. The ending had me crying from heartbreak one minute and then sobbing because I didn’t want the story to end the next.
I would rate this 100 stars if I could. Honestly, it’s one of her best stories yet. There is just something so powerful reading about a man truly putting in the work to win his woman back — and I loved that she didn’t give in too easily. Their journey felt earned, emotional, and unforgettable.
