Twin Flames #1
Twin Flames
Dr Cara Bailey, PhD, is plunged into a race against time to stop the only man she's loved in five hundred years, disappearing from history. . .
When Cara meets the charismatic George; her reincarnated soul mate, they are irresistibly drawn to one another, and their worlds are turned upside down.
The chance meeting unlocks Cara’s ability to time travel. It sparks a sequence of unstoppable events, transporting her from present day York to Henry VIII’s and Anne Boleyn’s treacherous Tudor court. She finds herself blissfully married to George until they are falsely accused of treason and go on the run with a price on their noble heads.
Meanwhile, in present day York, George and Cara are in joyless relationships and struggle to be together or apart. Will George find the courage to do what it takes to fulfil their Twin Flame destiny, and will Cara reveal to George that they have been lovers through five centuries?
In a failed time travel experiment, Cara disrupts the timeline and returns to find George no longer exists. Will she succeed to turn back time and rescue George from the Tower of London before he’s executed in 1536, or will the timeline reset so he will never have lived at all?

I was completely enthralled by the romance between Cara and George- you just love them both and want their romance to succeed. The to.easy travel adds an extra dimension and twists to the story to keep you turning the pages to the very end. I loved the trips into history

Great read
Just finished this book. I really enjoyed the story line and the twists and turns kept me turning the pages. Also the historical references. Looking forward to more from this author. I really like her writing style and it's very easy to follow what timeline the characters are in. Well done for a debut novel 💜

I really enjoyed this book. The plot was good and I felt that the romance was believable and realistic. My only setback was by 2/3 in it got a tad confusing with another timeline added in which felt random - but then I seemed to get it again further along.
I liked that it felt more balanced rather than the one sided view you can sometimes get with romances. I felt both George and Cara had their own minds but you could also understand why they worked well together.
I picked this up purely on the Tudor aspect and I was not disappointed. Loved it and cannot wait to read the next one
I would recommend to any romance/ history lovers!

I found this time travel romp through Tudor England and modern-day York both touching and gripping. The central Twin Flames love affair over five centuries is beautifully told, and the fact that the heroine Clara is a Tudor historian (as I am) and George belongs to the Cavendish family that I researched for my PhD thesis only adds to the intrigue. It certainly gave a new dimension to my views of Tudor England. Who would have thought all that time travel was going on just by reading dry-as-dust Tudor manuscripts? A diverting and entertaining read. Highly recommended.

This a really interesting story about twin flame relationships, past lives, unconditional love and the lengths people go to when they want to save the person they love. It’s intriguing and kept interesting by the characters time travelling, showing how the past can affect the future.
A really good read.

A beautifully written tale that flits between centuries, I loved that about the book. I also love the Tudor History in contrast with modern day. Also set around York for the main, a fave City of mine. Now about to read the second book. Well worth a read everyone.

Love the historical fiction and time travel elements especially when it's about Tudor Era and Victoriana time periods! Love the first book in this series and already have the next 3! Can't wait to read them all! Love George and Cara Cavendish! ♡

A beautiful read of Time travel from present to Tudor time

Dnf. Plot seemed rushed. The characters annoying, committing infidelity then going back and forth between being together and arguing. It got repetitive and dull very quickly.I must be the only person who didn’t enjoy this because the book got so many positive reviews. I love the idea of time travel romance but I’m afraid twin flames just didn’t do it for me.

This was very rough, disjointed and too sloppy-doppy for me so could’ve done with less romance and more action or story.
The story jumped all over the place from present day York to 1536 London then to Seville 1840 and back to York present day so it’s quite difficult to keep track sometimes!
Very disjointed and doesn’t flow but I think I’ve now got the gist of things so am willing to try the second book in this series to see if, now I understand the foundations of the story, I can become more invested in the characters in the sequel……🤔
We will see but I’m willing to give it a try….Things can only get better…. Can’t they??

Time travelling angst!
Loved the idea of this story but could have done with more history and less histrionics. Now that the author has set out the foundations I’m hoping the next book will have more content.

You are in for a wild ride with all these crazy story lines occurring. Plus throw in some epic time travel? As I continue to read the series I’m curious to see how it fits with Outlander. Better or not? Let’s find out.

Could have been a good story
This could have been a good story but it seemed to move really slow, lots of back and forth with Cara and George trying to stay together and not a lot of storyline.

It is a shame as the premise had promise. Too much repetition of what is happening. Typos galore. The book needs to be tightened up.

Looking forward to the next installment
I love the Tudor period and love the genre of Time Travel so this ticked all the boxes. Here's to a chilled afternoon with book 2

Took a bit of getting into and flitting at the beginning but over all enjoy this time travel book.

Not knowing this has a sequel I read this as a standalone. I did enjoy the characters and the storyline although at times it was rather repetitive and predictable.
