It's a nice novel, I like the romance genre and although it's nothing extraordinary, I liked the themes it plays, friendship, love and some suspense. I realized that it’s the second book that’s linked to another story, but it’s well understood the past events faced by the protagonists Gabrielle, Julie, Wendy and Suzzane. In this novel is narrate Suzzane's life and his love for Bill, the things that made them separate and the new life they face. My favorite character is Bill, who is older than Suzzane, so they have communication problems and to be able to be together, because he’s divorced and she’s a young single woman who doesn’t know what she really wants from life. That even though it may be an impediment, it unites them more. I recommend it for teens and adults who like the romance genre, ‘cause it’s a book that read quickly, it’s not complicated and is easy to follow with the dialogues and the story.

I have just read the second part of G.P. Gadbois’ novel Trust Me Moment in a Time. As an Arab reader, I enjoyed the language; it motivates the reader to complete it in one session as the work is written in a simple language, with a lot of thoughts that have made the novel smoother.
It is a romantic story themed around love and separation and the ensuing conflicts, pain and all that may affect the relation continuity no matter how these relations stand on firm grounds.
In this novel Bill and Susan tell us the meaning of love, separation, and life from the writer's point of view.
An enjoyable read that I recommend to everyone interested in truly human .
themes.
Thank you dear G.P. Gadbois
for the work.

I haven't read the first one, so I'm not sure what I was missing, but visibly nothing too obvious.

This one seems less paranormal, and deal with Suzanne's and Bill's romance despite the many complications in their way.
It also lay the foundation for what I suppose is the next book.

I'm uneasy as it feels that Suzanne is the one who has the most compromises to make to make things work. Bill's promises are not shown in action, at least in this book. But the relationship seems healthy, they actually communicate, which is rare in romance books and it's great to read!

The others characters have lives of their own, and are present and not just as help. It also shows how a group of friends can feel unable to help when someone falls in a toxic relationship but can't admit it. That's something that I hope will be solved in the next books.

Another thing making me uneasy, is that beyond the group of friends, and the direct family, most women are depicted very badly, as harassing and/or vindicatives. I'd like to read more about new possible friends in a new town than harpies.

Suzzane was a sweet and strong woman yet always insecure about herself. Because of her girlfriends' encouragement, she got back with Bill. Bill was kind and a loving father to Sam, as well as loving boyfriend to Suzzane. Their relationship was very romantic and moving. They kept holding on to each other despite all troubles they had to face. I found their relationship as goals because I just love how they loved, trusted and communicated with each other. It's something very pure and beautiful, and I'd say rare too. The story had everything in it : romance, suspense, comedy and a little cute awww moments I could never forget. I love Suzzane and the girls relationship as well. I feel super glad for their endings except perhaps for Wendy. I realized it's a series and I haven't read the first book but it turned out to be an enjoyable read.

I enjoyed reading Trust me (A moment in Time, #2) by G.P. Gadbois. The story is fiction but there are parts of the story that are realistically real and believable. It's a good read because it depicts what you go through when you are in love. Each character in the book is unique, there is never a dull moment. I like the author's composition style and transition. I enjoyed the book and I will definitely read it again.

A sweet story.
Suzanne and Bill have the odds stacked against them, especially after a year of separation and a misunderstanding, and yet figure out how to make it work. Throw in a ‘who dunnit’ and it adds a nice element of mystery. This was a nice story that kept moving and the conversations were never lacking. Friendship, love, learning to trust; if you’re looking for a sweet romance, here you go. I’m looking forward to the next book in the series!

[Simranjeet Kaur · Rating 4 out of 5]

A good story plot with beautiful characters and strong interpersonal relationships. The book reminds us true essence of love and friendship in our lives. All through the book I was just waiting for a twisting plot to blow my mind, but it was simple end with optimism and love. Overall well written.

[Victoria · Rating 2 out of 5]

A conventional love story; good girl falls in love with handsome bloke with an unknown villain sabotaging their affair. There’s the jealous ex-girlfriend, a disgruntled daughter and an undisclosed criminal graffiti artist. Loss, pain, addiction, joy and love like the typical love story. It’s a good read.

Some parts of the narration feels rushed especially towards the end and some illogical scenes.
I’d rate it 6/10 because who doesn’t love love.

Suzanne Martin never expected to meet a man that would captive her in a small town so far away from her home. And just as their relationship is heating up, she walks away from him thinking it was for the best. But a year has past and she hasn't gotten over him, so when the opportunity to rekindle their relationship, will she take the chance or walk away again?

Bill Grant has tried to move on after Suzanne ended their relationship but she's always been there in the back of his mind. When he learns that she would love a second chance, he makes a plan to win her back.

As their relationship deepens strange occurrences seem to be happening to her and Bill. Will they be able to withstand the bumps in the road or will the misdeeds drive them apart forever?

Trust Me is an intriguing, enchanting read that captivates the reader from cover to cover.

I love how Suzanne goes all in with second guessing. She doesn't know if this time they will last forever, but she takes the chance that it could be everything she always hoped for. I love how kind, honest, and loyal she is to everyone around her. She's got a big heart and isn't afraid to show it.

When Bill commits his heart and soul to Suzanne, he never wavers no matter what is thrown at him. There is really nothing he wouldn't do for her. And when it comes to everyone else, he's always fair and honest, always willing to lend a helping hand when needed. He's a down to earth man that appreciates the little things.

After Caught Between Worlds, I was really excited to get to know Suzanne and Bill better and Trust Me doesn't disappoint. The storyline is riveting, the hero swoon worthy, the heroine delightful, and the passion exquisite.

Trust Me is a most pleasurable read and I would highly recommend.

3/5 Good

Independent reviewer for Archaeolibraian – I Dig Good Books

This had the premise to be a really good book. The blurb sounded excellent and I was excited to read it. As I began reading the story, I was less excited about the story.

This story seemed to be filled with multiple characters. Honestly, it was hard to keep up with all of them. It was, at times, hard to decipher which character did what. It was that was from the start, making it that must harder to read and keep up with.

There was an abundance of details as well. Normally this is a great thing, however, this, with the multitude of characters, made it even harder to keep up with the story.

I really wanted to like the story and to enjoy what I was reading. I forced myself to keep reading, when normally I would have dumped it. Sadly, it didn’t really get much better the more I read. It has potential to be a great book but I was let down tremendously.

*A Copy of this book was provided to me with no requirements for a review. I voluntarily read this book and my comments here are my honest opinion.

Bill has a fling with Suzanne. Upon its termination, Bill goes on with life and meets Karen. Over a year later Suzanne realizes that she can't get over Bill, try as much as she does.
Her friends advice her to give Bill a second chance, which she does. Bill is once bitten and twice shy. Can he trust Suzanne this time around! He bites the bullet and relents to Suzanne's overtures.
Through twists and turns, their romance matures and survives Karen's scheming.
Bill proposes, and is granted marriage! Suzanne tests pregnant. They set forth to break the two great news to Suzanne's parents. What a good ending to a whirlwind romance!
Trust Me is GP Godbois' straightforward romance, punctuated by twists and turns which lend it suspense. It is an all-round good book.
I highly recommend it to enthusiasts of romance.

[Christine Vazou · Rating 5 out of 5]

Trust Me by G. P. Gadbois is a great romance novel. Among other things, I loved how the title clearly states the main plot of this book. The main protagonists, Suzanne and Bill were in a relationship that ended a year prior to the events that will unfold in this book because Suzanne left. When they decide to give their relationship another chance, I often read moments where Bill struggled to trust Suzanne and Suzanne making considerable efforts to mitigate her runaway tendencies.

Aside from trying to make their relationship work, they also have to face a scorned ex of Bill’s and a very spoiled woman who will go to great lengths in order to achieve her revenge.

I recommend this book to everyone who loves romance with various smart twists. Congratulations to the author for her hard work.

I loved the 4 women characters in this book : Suzanne, Wendy, Gabby, and Julie. While this story is about the romance of Suzanne and Bill, the other 3 women as secondary characters help bring to light Suzanne's (and each other's) personality, flaws and strengths. Bill seems like a great guy, but he and Suzanne had a lot to work through to get their happily-ever-after. Trust issues caused big problems, but plenty of chaos was stirred up by an outside source as well. The author did an excellent job of keeping me guessing as to the identity of the troublemaker. I enjoyed the author's easy writing style. This is book 2 in the series. I hope there's a book 3 on the way.

This is the first book I’m reading from the author, and it is a really nice book, very straightforward, I love the main character Suzan,she’s a very nice person, I love her love story with Bill, the only thing I had an issue with was the multiple characters which kind of made it hard to remember who each person was. And I was glad that the main characters were able to push through all their struggles and end up together.

[Nadia · Rating 4 out of 5]

Trust me is a romance novel about Sue and Bill who were broke up but getting back together. They relationship grew very smooth and I could feel both love, desire, feel belonging to each other between Sue and Bill, even when they have big enough age gap but the story is still sweet with some trouble like Cruella, oh how relate her with some people I know irl. This book tells that love doesn’t count age, doesn’t see you’ve married or not. I felt really glad that Bill propose Sue!!!

[Jaelanne Gilliam · Rating 5 out of 5]

Delve into the real world battle to build an adult relationship. It's not always pretty, but it's worth it! This book is a romance for those that don't want fake fluff or over-sappy but a love story for everyday people. Well written and fun with a little mystery and mayhem mixed in.

[Khafsa Rehman · Rating 4 out of 5]

"Trust Me" is fiction story. Main characters of story are suzzane and Bill. Their love relationship is coop up, where Trust is major issue.
While reading the more capturing thing was author's composition style. Conversation and dialogue between both suzzane and her girl friend were heartening and rewarding. It was author's literary work that attached readers emotionally and realistically with fiction account.
That "Novel Two" mesmerized me alot towards next series.
