Addicting!! Zane was the one I've been waiting for! It was amazing and I have so much to say!! ❤

Get ready for Timeless, book 4 in Kaylene Winter's phenomenal Less Than Zero rockstar romance series.  This LTZ world is such an fun, exciting place to be- never a dull moment with these guys.  Zane was the band member I was most curious to know every last detail about. He just intrigued me so much...a beautiful man with a killer sense of humor that had me cracking up so many times and swooning all over his sexy side too...I couldn't help myself!!! He was a mysterious musical prodigy, a bit wild and impulsive, but the Zane I met and 'thought' I knew in the previous books was not the same man I came to know in Timeless...he was so much more, even with his rockstar status and all that came with it. Zane was full of surprises, and believe me when I say, he might steal your heart and never give it back!!

Addiction and disappointment were always hovering in the background of Zane's life, even when he was too young to know what it all meant. He learned to master his emotions and was older and wiser than his physical age as he dealt with these adult issues in his life for years. His guitar and music became his world and his mom encouraged that natural talent, offering unfailing support every step of the way.

Besides his mom and music, the one constant Zane could always count on was his best friend and confidant- Fiona. With Kaylene Winter's creative storytelling, I became completely charmed and engrossed in the backstory of this sweet little pair- adorable, mischievous, precocious and inseparable- a tiny little rock and roll dude and dudette. Their lifelong friendship morphed into a fumbling teen attraction that survived, despite many unforeseen challenges, but the heart and soul of their love was never far away, at every age, year after year. Zane and his beautiful Fee knew each other so well- but continued to grow into their own, whether together or apart, surprising me often throughout this book. Their heartfelt conversations hit me right in the feels every time.

Zane- 'My life without you is incomplete.  No matter where I am in the world, I can feel you.  Believe that.'

Awww, Zane!! I wish I could clone you and keep you allll for myself!!!

Fiona- 'Whenever we're together, why does it always feel like time stands still?  Like we're where we're supposed to be?' 

Because it's so true, Fiona!!

Zane and Fiona's path to a happy ending was sexy, H.O.T. and combustible with the kind of oneness that could only come from such a strong, unbreakable bond. The way forward may have had more than a few stumbles, shakeups and its share of frustration and drama at times, but Zane and Fiona made it their vow, to succeed where their own parents had failed-their love would be Timeless.

I loved how each book, with their dual POV's and intertwining timelines, had it's own specific feel, perspective and behind the scenes drama. An inventive way to tell the entirety of the band's collective story. Reading the prequel, Restless, gave much insight into how Zane and LTZ came to be and leaves the door open for his star crossed parents, Carter and Lianne, to find closure and perhaps happiness for themselves?? I'm hoping for much more of their unrequited love story in the future !! It was my pleasure to read a very early copy of Timeless and to provide this honest review of it. It was exactly the story I was longing for!

Timeless is an absolute masterpiece! A compelling read, this childhood friends-to-lovers, second chance rockstar romance is one that you do not want to miss! This book slayed me. It was emotional, steamy, and all around swoon worthy. I was completely riveted by the story and so invested in the characters that I was unable to put the book down!

This author perfectly illustrates how Zane and Fiona’s souls are tethered together, forming an unbreakable bond. With the magnetic force between them, their chemistry is explosive! Zane and Fiona’s emotional connection is meaningfully deep and tangible. I enjoyed how the author chronicles their journey from kids with the sweetness young love along with how their friendship evolves into more complex feelings as they age.

The character development in this novel is impeccable. Zane and Fiona’s moments of growth as individual characters and as a couple are so detailed that it makes them appear multi-dimensional. With their endearing personalities and flaws, these two seem very relatable. I have loved all of this author’s LTZ novels and I believe that Zane is my new favorite (although I say that about each of her books!). His backstory is interesting and it is evident how his past continues to influence him. He is an irresistible, sweet, and sexy man all rolled into one smoldering, rocker package. His love for Fiona is all encompassing and he never doubts his feelings for her. Basically, Zane is the ultimate boyfriend! If you have read this authors previous novels in the LTZ series, then you may recognize Fiona as the owner of The Mission. She is a strong female protagonist and her journey is both intriguing and heart wrenching at times. The way the author portrays her character is so well thought out that there were times where it seemed as though I was feeling what she was feeling. Let there be no confusion that Zane and Fiona are soulmates destined to be together no matter what obstacles stand in their way. And there are obstacles! With all of the trials, tribulations, and circumstances that constantly threaten to tear them apart, one can only hope that a love so timeless will conquer all.

I must mention the secondary characters. I was positively thrilled to see Zane’s parents Carter and Lianne. As someone who has read Restless, it was entertaining to get to see snippets of their story from Zane’s POV. Then we have the bandmates! What a treat it was to reconnect with all of my boys and significant others. It is always fascinating to see the various perspectives from the supporting characters, but I also like how they do not dominate the book. The story ultimately remains that of Fiona and Zane.

While Timeless is book four in this author’s Less Than Zero series, it can be read as a standalone. There is character overlap but I believe you could read this without being lost. Although, I do recommend all of the previous books because they are just as phenomenal as this one! If you are a lover of rockstar romances that will elicit all the feels, then I definitely recommend this book!

An absolute masterpiece! Full RTC.

Fiona and Zane had been friends since birth. At age six Zane asked Fiona to marry him and he never wanted to leave her. Carter, I’m having a hard time liking this man, I hated him in Endless, but as I get closer to the end I really love that man. When I read the other three books I always wondered what Zane could be unhappy about, he had two famous parents that loved him so much, but now I see he was a little bit special. I also thought there was no way this author could make me feel more angst then I felt reading Endless, yeah I was wrong. Not only am I suffering through Ty and Z’s pain again, now I’m suffering for Zane and Fiona who have hit their rock bottom. Well I was wrong again, nope not even close to bottom, and now I’m ugly crying with snots running out my nose. I love the way this book is written. It’s their life story and each chapter tells us their age. It goes from children in a playground and innocent love to their teens and finally adults. It’s a roller coaster ride just like life, beautiful. Loved Loved Loved this book and I’m giving it five stars and highly recommending it.

Fiona and Zane have loved each other since they were young children - they even got married at age 6, but when family drama tears them apart will the two be able to keep their friendship alive? And what happens when more and more hurdles are put in place - can love conquer all? Filled with heavy emotions and dysfunctional drama this was a wonderful read. This was my first book by Kaylene Winter and it will not be my last. I now need to go back and start this series from book 1.

Timeless by Kaylene Winter is destined to become a classic among Rockstar romances. It describes the rock band LTZ's beginnings to Rock stardom. The romance is a childhood friendship between Zane, a guitarist, and Fiona, an up-and-coming chef that falls in love. Their love weathers a 14-year journey riddled with misunderstandings, dysfunctional family interference; as well as each bogged down with their baggage which almost destroys them. Add in their “love hack pact” which allows the other to cheat when they are apart if the other chooses to do so and never mention it to the other. Neither Fiona nor Zane wants this pact and yet, when each indulges out of hurt or selfish reasons, the ramifications and long-term consequences almost destroy their relationship and love forever. The book crackles with sizzling hot scenes that can melt your panties. The thread that binds the story together is “our love is timeless and will last forever”. Truly, I cried, I wanted to give the characters advice when they screwed up and just yell, “no, don’t go” there a few times. I was immersed from page one to the last word written! Kayleen Winter writing reigns among the best authors of Rockstar romance.

I don't even know where to start! This book is the 4th in a series, and the series should be read in order. (Not including the novella.) And I loved it! What's not to love, a hot rockstar, a feisty heroine, a soul deep connection, hot sex scenes and all the things that try to tear them apart when all you want is for them to be together!

This is the friends to lovers story of Zane and Fiona. Their parents are best friends and their mom's gave birth within months of each other. So Zane & Fiona have known each other literally all of their lives and became the best of friends. This book spans their 30 year history, each chapter giving insight to what is going on in their lives starting at age six. The friendship starts to bloom into teenage love and then into adulthood where it's gets a little tricky. The two characters have gone through so much together and separately. They were pushed together then torn apart. They endured years of no contact, meddling parents, bad timing and bad decisions. They've made mistakes, said things they didn't mean, did things they couldn't take back. Yet, through it all, they both know that someday, somehow, they will get the happily ever after they so deserve. For such a long history, you'd think the book would be much longer, but it's perfect. The story flows naturally. The connection they have is effortlessly evident and timeless. See what I did there?!

One of my favorite parts of this book was just one sentence where an introduction is made to another rockstar that happens to be from another rockstar romance series by another author. I loved seeing that because it was that series and that particular rockstar mentioned, that led me to my love of all rockstar romance. It's one more reason I adore Kaylene Winter.

If you've already read the previous books, I am certain that you will love this one as much as I have. If you haven't started the series yet, what are you waiting for?

“Whenever we’re together, why does it always feel like time stands still? Like we’re where we’re supposed to be.”

Zane and Fiona’s story was absolutely addicting and captivated me from the very first page. Best friends since birth, they’ve always known that they are each other’s other half, but when people and circumstances and their own demons keep them apart, can they find their way back to each other?

“You’re a part of me. My other half. Whether you want me to be or not. If you’re not okay, I’m not okay. No matter what, I will be here for you. For as long as you need me.”

Told in alternating point of views, Timeless takes us on Zane and Fiona’s heartbreaking journey from childhood to adulthood. We see them struggle with their places in each other’s life and how to reconcile their feelings for one another while fighting the demands of their everyday lives and the people in their lives. They make a stupid pact which made my heart hurt for both of them because it caused so much misunderstanding and pain.

“No matter where we are in our lives. No matter how long we are separated. No matter who has tried to keep us apart, both of us know that what we have transcends time. Transcends space.”

This book devastated me, but I could not put it down. It was that good!! It was an angsty rollercoaster ride filled with deep emotions and a love so strong that no obstacle is too big for it. Zane and Fiona’s journey was gut-wrenching, but their devotion to one another through all their struggles was swoonworthy. They are truly soulmates and I was so rooting for them to fulfill their destiny. I’m sad to say goodbye to the boys of Less Than Zero, but I can’t wait to see what Kaylene Winter has in store for us next.

You don't want to miss this one! It's a fantastic story! I love that we got to experience the childhood history of Zane and Fiona. It made the storyline that much richer and really made me fall in love with each of them. Their trials growing up were rough and I could feel their frustration and their pain. They definitely didn't have an easy road to get to their HEA. Toward the end I was an emotional mess (yes, I cried). My heart was put through the wringer with this one and I enjoyed it so much! I didn't want off the rollercoaster! I was sent a complimentary copy and I am choosing to leave my honest review.

FANTASTIC!!!

Zane and Fiona’s story is one made for the ages in rock and roll kingdom! From six years old until adulthood these two have had that special connection but also in that time so much has happened that tear them apart. Make sure you have that box of tissues ready because with the heart this book is written I was in dire need of them. Their love story is awesome all the while pulling at my heart strings.

If you haven’t read the first books in the Less Than Zero series do yourself a favor and grab them today. All of these books I devoured and would have given them more than five stars if I could have.

Great rock star romance that Zane and Fiona, children of celebrities and best friends since birth. The book starts when they are both young and follows them to their adult life. You see the how their childhood friendship turns into much more. Learning from their parents failed marriages, they try to make their own arrangements for when they can’t be together. However their “love hack” may cause more harm then good. But no matter what happens or who tries to come in their way, they always find their way back to each other.

I don't even know where to start with this review because there was just so much going on that had my emotions all over the place. I guess I can begin with saying how amazing the audio narration was, because it was great J.D. Tomlinson and Stella Hunter did a fantastic job with bringing Zane and Fiona to life. Plus with the audio version of the book you get to hear a LESS THAN ZERO original song - KICK IT, which you don't get with the eBook...how cool is that!

Zane Rocks is the fun one of the band, the one that always has a smile on his face and is the charmer but reading his story its surprising how carefree he comes across when he has been through sooooooo much in his life. And lets not even get into what Fiona Reynolds has gone through, ugghhh I can't even with her mother.

Okay my ramble is over otherwise I'd start blabbing spoilers and you know I don't do that so what I will say is that Zane and Fiona were destined to be together from the time they were just six years old and while life had thrown MANY curve balls in their way they do finally get their HEA.

The chemistry was electric but more than that was their friendship that really made their relationship for me. They were childhood best friends, their families were friends, and their love for one another grew over the years. Watching their friendship grow into more was amazing, watching things tear them apart was soul crushing, but like I said there is an HEA at the end of it all you just have to get through the hard parts of life before you can finally have some good.

Kaylene has done an amazing job with this series, each of the band members stories interweaving with one another so you get all the different sides of events at different points of their lives. I am looking forward to reading the ENCORES for each of the couples because I am excited to see what she has in store for them after they get their HEAs.

This story needs to be read in the order of release, I do not recommend reading it as a standalone. This series is perfect for those that enjoy Steamy Contemporary Romances or Rockstar Romances.

Happy Reading or Listening!!!

In all of the previous Less than Zero books, Fiona has been an almost shadowy figure. We see glimpses of her and there were hints that there might be something between her and Zane, but that's all they were, hints. I wasn't sure if I was going to take to her as a character, simply because I'd seen so little of her. When it came to Fiona and Zane's story though, that didn't matter, it was clear that they were going to be together one way or another and that was the way that it was supposed to be.
Zane and Fiona are best friends from when they are small children. Although they always remain close, the pressures that their parents put them under, due to their own mistakes and issues mean that for much of the time they are kept apart. It seems throughout their life, things are working against them to stop them from being together. Perhaps all that really means is that they stay apart until they are truly ready to be together properly, but it all takes a toll on them as people and individually.
This is a love story and so you can expect that they get their happy ending and it is a satisfying one. Having said that, there was one element that I wasn't happy with. Fiona's mother is emotionally abusive. Once she is old enough Fiona leaves her, but later in the story, there is a reconciliation of sorts. I just don't think that her mother deserved that in any way. I certainly wouldn't be allowing my children to have a relationship with someone like that and I was disappointed that it all seemed to be explained away and accepted that she was just being a protective parent.
Overall this was a great read and a fantastic way to wrap up the Less Than Zero series. I believe that we've got some spinoffs to come and I'm looking forward to reading them.

Timeless is book four in the Less Than Zero series, but can be read as a complete standalone. Fiona and Zane grew up together and even at 6 were best friends with a strong connection. When their families had a faling out with each other forcing a separation, they tried to mainatain communication when possible and held on to the belief that at some point they would be together again.

As adults, life gets a little more complicated as Fiona pursues culinary school and Zane goes on tour as part of the band Less Than Zero that goes on to reach superstardom, and it seems like there is always something or someone in the way of them being together, even at times, themselves.

Fee and Zane's story was heartbreaking at times, but there was something truly special and beautiful in their friendship and their bond that was formed at such a young age. I struggled a little at times with Fiona's character in the story and at times struggled with both characters not just being open with their feelings. I found myself liking Zane more and more as the book went on as he was much more transparent about what he wanted and about his feelings and about just going after what he wanted.

2 families each with an only child who is loved so much. We meet them at age six when they commit to forever with each other. But life is never that simple and a lot happens between age 6 and becoming an adult. From earlier books in the series we know Zane’s Dad Carter is a Rockstar legend but a completely mess as a father during his early years. From all we had seen before Fiona is close with her Dad and the Mission. So how did things go so wrong for 2 couples that were best friends and their 2 children who were everything to each other?

To find out you have to read and go through all the highs and lows. There are some twists you just don’t see coming but when they do it is shocking

Kaylene has not left out the rest of the band, we get to revisit some scenes through Zane’s point of view. As usual the characters are well rounded, the plot flows and book is just we written. Don’t miss reading!!!!!

Right in the feels 🥰😢

This review may contain spoilers

This is such a good book, but it is so heart breaking 💔. This is a great second chance, best-friends to lovers, rock star romance. The story goes through their child hood together, all the way to adult hood. Where they finally get their happy ending, with some bumps in the road first. Zane and Fiona have been best friends since they were born. When they were six Zane and Fiona got "married" and sealed it with a kiss. They promised to marry when they were adults, but as always life has other plans. Kaylene Winter really made us feel how deeply these two felt for each other and as the title indicates their love is Timeless and nothing can keep them apart. This is my first Kaylene Winter book, but it won't be my last.

I received a free ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Emotional, aching, and so raw, Timeless dragged my heart through a shredder.

I can't even begin to count the amount of tears this book had me shedding.
The book follows Fee and Zane's relationship throughout their lives. From the innocence of childhood at age 6 through so many ups and down, until present time, this story is an emotional roller-coaster.

As always, Kaylene deals with some heavy issues, shedding a light on the destructive consequences addiction can have not only on the person themselves but on their family and the emotional baggage that comes from seeing a loved one struggle.

4.5 stars and a Gibson

🎧🎧AUDIO REVIEW🎧🎧

OVERALL REVIEW:
I’ve loved this series from the start, so not sure I can say this (because I love everyone lol) but Zane and Fiona are my favorite of faves! THIS.STORY!

PERFORMANCE: J.D. Tomlinson and Stella Hunter did a fantastic job with bringing Zane and Fiona to life. I haven’t had the opportunity to “read” their story, only listen to the audio, so I can’t say if one is a better experience over the other, but I will say that with the audio you get to hear an original song from Less Than Zero and who doesn’t love that!

STORY REVIEW: Zane and Fiona have had a “time” getting to their destined place in life and we get to experience the good, and the bad and everything in-between from the time they were just six years old to now! It was a glorious ride for me as a reader, but my heart was heavy for much of it. They both had to make a whole bunch of lemonade (if you feel me), but it was so worth it because their relationship is one people speak of when they speak of kismet! I especially enjoyed reading not just the development of them as a romantic couple but also their friendship. How it evolved and how much it was part of who they were! Some of their hurdles seriously tested the ability for my heart not to explode into a million pieces, but again, it made that HEA that much more poignant!

I do not recommend anyone start this series with any one story except the first. None of these books really work as standalones because not only do the characters interconnect, but so do their lives and the timelines in the books. If you start from the beginning, you will get a well-rounded viewpoint of just about all the plot points and that makes it well worth the investment! #TRUST

This love story is messy, yet sweet in its own way. Zane & Fiona are two childhood best friends who, even at a young age, recognise the rarity of their friendship and connection. After Zane's dad's actions create friction between their two families, Zane & Fiona's close connection is seriously damaged. And, just when the pair begin to experience feelings of attraction for each other, the connection is severed. Afraid of making the same mistakes as their parents, they try to take destiny and fate into their own hands and end up in complicated chaos.

The story begins in the present, then takes us back, through Zane & Fiona's history. Their story hurts and soothes as you read. We get to see as their childlike, innocent love grows, matures, and endures. Yet, both Zane & Fiona are so afraid of messing up that they almost miss out on living the life they were both meant to live.

I enjoyed the story, even though it's my first of the series. It's an emotional, second chance romance with genuine, unconditional love and steam - Zane & Fee have it in spades!

I recommend this read.

RATING: 3.5 STARS

Kaylene Winter cements her place as a staple in the rockstar romance genre with her latest release, Timeless.

I love how each book can be read as a standalone but they are all interconnected. The series has made its way through each member of the band, and now it’s guitarist Zane’s turn. I enjoyed reading about his relationship with childhood sweetheart Fiona! Circumstance has made it difficult for them to be together, but Zane is determined to not let Fiona go again.

The format of the book was fun, as it started with flashbacks at age six when they met and worked towards the present day. I also enjoyed the dual POVs so we could see Zane and Fiona's perspectives. I'm a huge fan of happily ever afters, and all the members of the band have found theirs now. Yay for LTZ!

Carter (Zane’s dad and a former famous guitarist) has really got to stop influencing other people’s relationships. In the first book, he was the reason Zoey and Ty separated for so many years. In this book (though technically parts are flashbacks), he is part of the reason that Zane and Fiona were forced apart as children. While Carter has a tendency to make problems, Lianne (Zane’s mom) is AWESOME. She never painted Carter as a bad guy in Zane’s eyes, she simply explained that he was sick due to his addiction and that was why he had trouble showing up and consistently fulfilling his promises. She also did a great job raising Zane as a single parent and he seemed to have turned out pretty well.

I would recommend this book to fans of the rockstar romance genre. While you can technically read this book without reading the others before it, I suggest reading the series in order because it will add depth and understanding to your reading experience.

Thank you to the author, Victory Editing, The Next Step PR, and NetGalley for allowing me to read an early copy of this book at no cost to myself. I voluntarily read and reviewed Timeless; the contents of the review are my honest opinion of the book and not influenced in any way.

Zane and Fiona (Fee) are bringing on ALL the feels! Absolutely loved their story. Childhood friends, really literally life long friends. I mean, if we’re really gonna split hairs, these two are soul mates, each is their other half. But what they have to endure to reach their HEA, it’s heart wrenching! And neither is immune to outside influence or their own bad decisions. Difficulties with parents, physical distance, exploding careers, heartache and loss, and pure joy during those times that they are actually able to be together. And the second chance aspect of this story is just wonderful. I would say my only complaint is that the ending seemed a little abrupt. As things came to a head, and the resolution was at hand, it was suddenly over - a relatively short epilogue pulls all the final pieces together, but I felt like I wanted more, because their story was so deep, and I needed maybe a little bit longer to let it go. That’s probably on me though.

This is the fourth book of this series, but the first one I’ve read. It can definitely be read as a standalone. That said, I am very much interested in, and will be, going back and reading the rest of the series - I really want to read the stories of the rest of the members of LTZ!

Edit for audiobook review: the audiobook is fantastic, great narrators and really brought to life with so much depth and emotion. Absolutely loved it and definitely recommend if you’re an audiobook fan.

     Timeless was a truly breathtaking story. Beautiful, heart rate increasing, angsty and total involvement. It was just about impossible to tear myself away from it. Once I read the last page, I wanted to immediately re-read it from the beginning. 
     This book tells the timeless story of Zane Rocks and Fiona Reynolds. They have been best friends since birth. I've read so many stories about fated mates or couples that were destined but you could actually feel it while reading this story. It's like they shared the same soul. Like I said, it's a beautiful story full of angst. There were some moments where I cried so hard I couldn't read. 
     If you love rockstar romance, then you need this book in your life! This is my honest opinion, freely given.

🎧 Audiobook Review

Welp… this might be my favorite LTZ story. Friends since childhood, secret lovers, ridiculous rules 🙄, constant setbacks, and a childhood vendetta? Point me to the words on the page! Or in this case the voices in my ear!

Both narrators did a fantastic job bringing Zane and Fiona to life. The steamy parts were plentiful. Actually, steamy is a paltry descriptor for this couple. Ahem… go Zane!

Smexy times aside, these two love each other and endured a lot (like a lot, a lot) to get to their HEA. Including some traumatic childhood baggage. If you’re sensitive there’s probably some trigger warnings you need (mental health, substance abuse and the things that go along with that). Also, why are you reading a rockstar romance - they aren’t particularly safe. But I digress…

The author has done a great job of humanizing ‘rock stars’ throughout this series. It was very well done throughout. I recommend not only this book, but all three of the preceding books.

I’m voluntarily leaving my honest review of this book, as always YMMV.

My Rating Scale:
5 ⭐️
: A favorite, highly recommend & will definitely re-read
4 ⭐️: I really liked it & will recommend it
3 ⭐️: I enjoyed it & might recommend it
2 ⭐️: Meh, I didn't love it & probably wouldn't recommend
1 ⭐️: Not for me, wouldn't recommend

Heat Level:
🤯 What did I just read?
: Uncategorized, because… what did I just read?
☕️ Warm: Sweet ‘greeting-card company’ level romance kind of book.
🥵 Hot: Unabashedly & deliciously smexy, spicy, dirty, and/or kinky kind of book.
🔥 Scorching: Find a private spot to read this book. 😉

I've been waiting for this book for a while and I'm so pleased to be able to read it finally. It was just as good, if not better than I hoped.

The story of Zane and Fiona and their epic love was so well written and woven into the previous books that it was seemless

So worth the wait

This one has all the Feels!

I have read all of Kaylene Winter's books. I have been with the series since the very beginning. Each one has a very unique spin on them that is relevant to what is going on in the world today, I do think this was perhaps my favorite. I cried when Zane and Fiona torn apart as kids as well as several other times when reading this book. Of course there is a HEA for now.
I really enjoyed how each of the 4 books are about the same time frame and you see the events about LTZ from each of the different band members. I admit I did go back and forth to refresh my memory on several of the events. A look here, a unnoticed person there. Very well done!
I am looking forward to more in this series. The entire series was well written and engaging. I will buy more of Ms Winter's books anytime! Also she has promised Audio!!! I can't wait.

Wow, what a story Kaylene has put together with Timeless, this series is sheer rock star romance brilliance and this fourth book in the series was everything I could have wished for. The story is told with an alternating point of view for each chapter. Though I found it a little slow going through Zane and Fiona's childhood chapter by chapter it does give you a great insight into their closeness as adults. From their first marriage at age six they promise to be each other's person forever and not let anything come between them. Even when they are parted by Zane's rise to fame and Fiona's determination to succeed in her career they cannot escape the magnetic pull that always draws them back to each other.

It's sad that reality gets in the way for them, their lives are not perfect and they both make mistakes. They have to deal with a tremendous amount of obstacles that threaten to tear them apart all the way through the book, but I kept cheering them on and hoping they would be able to keep their faith in each other. Zane shows that he is not the spoiled son of a famous rock star but he has the strength and determination to overcome anything that keeps him away from the woman he loves, even when she loses faith in them. As a child Fiona always believed that they would end up together but as an adult she seems to have lost sight of the promises they made to each other but Zane is always there to rebuild her confidence and bring her back to the truth that they are made for each other.

Kaylene has previously intertwined the love stories of the other band members into the main story as she does it again in Timeless by giving us a flashback into Ty and Zoey's story. I love her unique way of keeping the series connected and making it unforgettable. Kaylene is an unbelievably talented writer and each of the books in this series are a treat to read for a rock romance reader. Timeless is definitely deserving of five stars and more.
