This Time Forever
He'd waited a lifetime for her
Liz Brooks felt like a swimmer caught in a powerful undertow. One minute she was an ordinary travel rep, her feet planted firmly on the ground. The next she was swept into the past--the eighteenth century, to be exact. How could she not feel out of her depth, finding herself in another woman's body, thinking another woman's thoughts, consumed with hunger for another woman's man... ? She needed answers ... desperately.
Dr. Matthew Lockwood was just the man. For many, he had opened doors to the past. But with Liz he found himself struggling to maintain a distance. He could help her, yes--not because of his professional skill, but because he knew intimately who she'd been-and loved passionately who she was.

This Time Forever by Margaret Chittenden is part of the Silhouette Dreamscapes line. Main characters are Liz Brooks and Matt Lockwood.
Travel rep Liz is afraid she's losing her mind. She keeps falling into a fugue state that seems incredibly real to her. Desperate for answers she agrees to regression hypnosis. Dr Matt Lockwood is convinced that Liz is recalling a past life, but the first time he hypnotizes her, he is stunned. Liz begins recounting the hard life of a woman in 1880's Scotland--Jeannie Findlay. Matt is astonished, because when a colleague helped him with regression hypnosis, he recalled his life as Robert McAndrew, the man who fell in love with Jeannie. Matt is overjoyed to find his lost love again, but he is reluctant to reveal anything to Liz; he wants her to figure out on her own that he was once her beloved Robbie. Liz isn't sure she believes in reincarnation, and as she delves further into Jeannie's life, she finds herself unable to separate her growing feelings for Matt from Jeannie's attraction to Robert. Matt is left waiting for Liz to realize they were meant to find one another in this life...and hoping she will agree they're destined to be together forever.
The story was interesting, yet I couldn't help but feel that more of the narrative was devoted to Jeannie and Robert's romance than Liz and Matt's. It was off-putting. Liz and Matt fell in love rather quickly, although I suppose that can be attributed to the fact that they'd loved one another before. Since I was reading two stories, the entire thing seemed disjointed. I did like the easy banter between Liz and Matt.
A little disappointed in this one. Giving it an average score of three.

This was a very good short story about Josh and Jo finding each other later in life and renewing their love.

Give it a 2.5-3. I had a hard time starting but eventually was able to stay with it till the end. I guess you could say I liked it better than I originally thought I would, which is a good thing.
