I received a copy of Everything for Love from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
Everything for Love, unfortunately, did not work for me. I selected it for the time travel element but I think it shows why I should stay away from romance...
Deidre Thompson is a time traveler (a timeanaut) who travels throughout time to study the greatest artists of the past. In order for her time travel device to work, it must be recharged which is accomplished by having sex. It’s billed as a time travel romance so okay, a little sex to recharge Deidre’s device is expected. A little in this case turned out to be quite a bit - with several partners.
Deidre is still reeling from the loss of her partner, James, and is now time-traveling alone. When the book starts, she is in 1899 Paris, getting ready to leave for 1914 London. Without James, she has to seek out one of her many admirers and have sex with him - or them- to power her device. When she is able to jump to London fifteen years in the future, she sees an anomaly - someone she saw watching her in 1899 Paris (or someone who looks very much like him ) is also in 1914 London. After she is attacked, this mystery man comes to her aid. His name is Max and he is a timeanaut as well sent by their bosses to be Deidre’s new partner. They begin to work together to insert themselves into their subjects’ lives and discover all they can about them. Soon they realize something is wrong: at some point, their actions have caused the timeline to change which causes their bosses to send people to stop them - apparently, by any means necessary.
The interesting premise is buried under quite a bit of filler, causing it to drag in several places. The ideas are really good and when the story moves to time travel and the tools used in its execution, it is pretty entertaining but often the research part of the mission caused me to lose interest. I also rolled my eyes each time a male character professes his love for Deidre. Pretty much every man is infatuated with her - even Max who tells her almost immediately that he is in love with her. I know it’s romance but still...
If you love romance, this may work for you. I think I would have liked it better if it had more descriptions of the people and places and if it had more meat on its bones in general. It just felt sparse in places, like something was missing. Three stars for the interesting take on time travel.

I received an ARC of this title in exchange for an honest review.
I really didn't like this book. I wish I had because the premise is interesting.
It had a lot of filters and filler words in it, and read a LOT more like erotica than romance. I don't mind erotica, but I didn't feel any EMOTIONS for this book.
I also don't feel there was a lot of research done for the time periods depicted, (IE a 'hat shop' is a milliner in most historical time periods).
I also am not a fan of euphemistic sex scenes, and there were far too many euphemisms for my tastes. An explicit sex scene is supposed to get the reader rather hot, if you get my drift, and I found myself wanting to skip pages to get to the story, only to find the story lacking. :/
Cannot recommend.

I loved the ending!!!

I received an ARC version of this book for supporting it during the Kindle Scout campaign. I was very sad when the book wasn't picked up but very excited when Marilyn decided to go ahead with publishing it anyhow! It needed to be finished because I could not be satisfied with just the teaser I had read.
It was a refreshing and new take on a theme I don't often read, but the story and concept drew me in. Deidre is a Timenaut sent back to observe various Artists of history to learn more about the techniques they used and observe their art, as in the future she lives in these things have been lost to time. Being a lover of history and art, the ability to do just that is what hooked me. What girl doesn't want to be able to go back in time and meet some of their favorite artists, famous or not?
The hitch comes when Deidre loses her partner and has to turn to her subjects of study to power the device she uses to move through time - using her feminine wiles and keeping her heart from getting too attached and involved. Will her heart and affections cause the timeline to change because of her involvement? Will her new "partner" sent back in time to help her, help correct the problems arising? Or will things get even more complicated and thrown further off track?
This book is the first in the series and though it took a few days to read because of real life interfering, I couldn't put the book down as I read through. I was drawn in by the characters and descriptions of historical locations and themes. I would become immersed in the story and felt myself cheering more and more for Deidre as the story went on. I cannot wait for the next book in the series!

Deidre is a timenaunt, her mission is to jump into the past to research and learn about lost arts. She has just recently lost her partner and is still trying get used to traveling through time on her own. Deidre is attacked and could have been killed if it weren't for Max. She learns from her rescuer that she has been targeted. She should have dies and now that Max has intervened they have changes history. The counsel has sent a team to fix what was changed, which they may or may not be successful.
This book was very hard for me to follow. Not only were the characters jumping through time but so was the story. It was a bit all over and you were introduced to many characters that were really not needed for the story. It was very scattered and had a lot of fillers for what could have been a really good solid storyline. After finishing, everything came together but just moved way too fast. It still was a good read.
I would give this 3 stars.

Everything For Love Time Rogues Series Book 1 By Marilyn Vix
An interesting story about time travel with a romantic kind of shocking ending. I found the time travel concept the Author used unique, but totally unbelievable. I'm talking about the means to charge the power crystal that makes the characters jump through time. It did put a fun spin and sexy twist on things but just didn't sit right with me. I did however enjoy Deidre's romp through history. The famous Artists she met and the Time periods were entertaining. The Author actually makes you feel like your in that time period with descriptive dialogue that truly comes to life. So with that said I enjoyed the story, but wasn't crazy about it.
I give Everything For Love 3 stars for its interesting time travel story about Bohemian and Vorticist Artists.
I would recommend this story to Adults

I received a free copy of the book from Shadowcat Publishing via Netgalley in exchange for my honest review.
Everything for Love is romantic science fiction novel by Marilyn Vix. It is the first novel in the Time Rogues series. This novel focuses on a woman named Deidre Thompson who is a timeanaut, or a person who time travels. She time travels to study famous art. In order to be able to go back into time, she must have sex to make her time machine work. During one of her adventures into the past, she meets Max, a man who looks like one of her past/deceased lovers. She discovers that just like her, Max is sent into the past on mission but his mission is a request from his boss. They decide to work together and continually go into the past together in order to discover just how time travel really works. Together, they discover excitement, lust, love and due to their constant time-traveling, make enemies along the way. They quickly figure out that they must fix the errors they have created during their time in the past and ultimately must save themselves.
Everything for Love is a fast-paced and exciting novel that will make you want to learn more about different time periods. I thought the way time travel was used in this novel was interesting and different. Deidre, the main character has a strong voice. I did not like the fact that every man pined for her but I did end up enjoying her character. Mike is a good character as well; his feelings for Deidre are palpable and I was glad to see his feelings explored throughout the narrative.
However, I do believe that there are noticeable problems in this book. The fact that Deidre has to have sex in order to power the time machine felt unrealistic and unneeded to me. I understand that this is a romance and it serves as a “romantic” element but at times I thought it to be too much. I also thought the narrative was just plain hard to follow. This story is all over the place and most of the time it is hard to know where you are within the story, which just made me feel confused.
Marilyn Vix is a solid writer and displays some great ideas throughout the novel. I loved learning about the other time periods and especially enjoyed the scenes with the famous artists. Her descriptions are wonderful and the imagery is what makes this book come alive. Overall though, I feel like there are too many unneeded details and scenes that do not add anything to the story. The book is readable as I did make it to the end. But I also believe if this story were more fleshed out then it could potentially turn into something great. I suggest this book to any person who is interested in time travel and is looking for an intense romance with a shocking ending. This book teaches you that sometimes it is okay to trust your true heart’s desires.
