Sari grew up with a secret that involved her missing father… The only other person who knows the truth refuses to acknowledge it. Sari can't forget what happened. Ever. She lost someone she loved.
Fifteen years later, the possibility of reversing the series of events drives her to keep searching for answers. Especially now that she's finally returned to where it all happened and with the people – one in particular – that she'd been forced to leave behind.
Fifteen years ago, Ward was devastated when Sari's mother fled to France with Sari. Even at ten, they'd been sweethearts. But the mystery of what happened back then had lain fallow.... waiting for someone to stir up the soil. And damn if Sari wasn't the best at doing just that…

I love all things Dale Mayer! Sari and Ward's story is just as exceptional as all of her other books. One of the biggest reasons I love her books and this story is that each book is like a snowflake each one unique and one of a kind. Sari and what happens when she is little broke my heart :( I literally felt pain for her suffering which only lessened at the end of the story, Ward played a huge part of my heart and Sari's being put back together again! Ward was protective, sexy, caring, understand and he loves our Sari!!! The funny thing about this story is that Dale Mayer had announced that this was a surprise book just about to go out or had just went out on FB. I preordered it, received it and was asked by the author if I would like to read and review it for a honest review! (Que fist pump and girly fangirl scream lol I was like yes pleaseeeeeeeeee but I bought it already :'( she still sent it to me (yay:) So in essence I read and reviewed it for myself and this inspiring author:) like I said love all things Dale Mayer!!!! A big Thanks to Author Dale Mayer for another great book. <3
Completely recommend to 18+up due to adult situations!
I bought and received this book for a honest review. Laura's Blogspotanythinggoes
Sari Harrods has finally returned to her childhood home where 15 years ago she witnessed something that has remained a secret ever since - especially as even her mother (who was the only other witness) was refusing to acknowledge it. But Sari has refused to forget it and will never stop trying to find her father by reversing the series of events that took him away. That same 15 years ago when they were both 10, Sari's best friend and sweetheart Ward was totally devastated when Sari's mother fled to France and took Sari with her. Having reconnected on her return, can they solve the mystery of what happened together or will they run out of time and become victims themselves?
This was a great story that had the requisite ingredients of a mystery, a romance and some drama and danger thrown in. I loved the premise of the story and the way they found out the truth and solved the mystery as well as the practicalities of their relationship. There are plenty of moments where the story could go in different ways and it wasn't always possible to predict which way it was going to go. Well written and easy to read I really enjoyed this story which is a stand-alone one. Contains some sexual content.
Time Thieves by Dale Mayer Sarina “Sari” Harrods has finally returned home. After seeing her father disappear right in front of her fifteen years ago, her life has never been the same. Her mother dragged her from Canada, her home, to France. Away from her friends, from all she knew.
Ward Preston might have only been ten when Sari was pulled away from him so suddenly, but even then he knew she was special. And now that she's back home, he intends not to lose her again. He just didn't expect everything else that came with her return home.
This is a unique story of time travel of sorts, parallel universes. Sari could never give up on the father she loved so much. And neither Ward nor Sari had given up on their special childhood friendship. Now that they are adults, they both want more. If only they can get through all the weirdness happening around them to find the time. And it's all about the time. **Sexual content and language http://justjudysjumbles.blogspot.com/...
Wow, is there a limit to this authors imagination? I certainly hope not as we as readers would suffer a great loss for some awesome reading experiences. When the world comes crashing down around Sari she will not give up on finding out the truth of why. One day her father was there laughing with her and then poof he disappeared in to thin air. Fifteen years have gone by and she is still searching for answers and returning to the scene brings about more mysteries and questions. Ward was devastated when Sari was moved away, now that she is back he will not lose her again. This is a well thought out and planned storyline filled with unsolved mysteries, strange noises and a house that has way too many secrets. Think twilight zone mixed with Fringe and you might be in the right ball park. MS. Mayer weaves a tale that will question what you think you know and make you wonder what if? Lost of action, drama, deceit and betrayal to keep you glued to your seat. Plus we get the added romance of Ward and Sari to keep a smile on your face. A must have for all Dale Mayer followers.
I really enjoyed this book. I was at 40% on my Kindle one minute and the next thing I knew I was done. I don't think I have ever read a Romantic Suspense novel with a time travel theme and I was pleasantly surprised to see that Dale Mayer pulled it off! I don't know where she comes up with these ideas for her writing - she is brilliant! All characters were very likable and the romance wasn't so over the top that it took control of the book. I guess the only thing I could have wished for is another book! I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys reading..you just won't be disappointed. I was given a free copy of this book for an honest review.
Dale Mayer has yet again gone beyond and above to grip me in this new wonderful world in her new series....How she does it I don't know, in the last 6 months she has brought out so many great books to meet any book worms needs....This books has it all romance..... paranormal.... and family troubles we all can relate too...... I am in awe how she takes me so deep inside her books I'm lost in them for hours and hours ...only down side is I have to wait for another dale Fix...
Not a heavyweight book, but a nice little story of a young lady who finds a way to travel thru time in search of her missing father. Nice characters that are likeable and you'll find yourself rooting for the good guys. Quick read.
Good characters,occasional stilted dialogue. I liked the concept, hope there are more in the series, soul continue it to find out how the story continues.
