Ok Marie! I see you girl! Marie has been crushing hard on the new priest, Edouard. Their love is forbidden, highly frowned upon, but unavoidable. I was happy to read their side of their romance, because I just knew that their connection was more than pure lust. We get to see their side of the puzzle that aligns with the story in Across Eternity. I love Edouard and how good he was to our girl, and I love how Marie just gave into what her heart wanted and said "screw what everyone will think". And it's partly because of their bravery that a lot of the history and details of the series playing out how it does even come to be.

🇺🇸 REVIEW 🇺🇸

Anyone who follows me on Instagram knows that I have a soft spot for forbidden romances and the 'priest-parishioner' trope is no exception.

So when I saw that Elizabeth O'Roark had written a story with this theme, I pounced on it and it won't surprise anyone that I loved it.

Is there anything she can't write? Her talent is undeniable, the sexual tension incredible, the relationship between the two characters so touching. And with this World War II backdrop and a Jewish heroine, I was on the edge of my seat the whole way through.

The ending left me so curious to know what happens next and now I learn that it's part of the "Parallel" saga that I ordered and received today! Best news ever! I really hope that I‘ll be able to meet Édouard and Marie again in these books.

🇫🇷 CHRONIQUE 🇫🇷

Quiconque me suit sur Instagram sait que j’ai un faible pour les romances interdites et le tripe ‘prêtre-paroissienne’ ne fait pas exception à la règle.

Alors quand j’ai vu qu’Elizabeth O’Roark avait écrit une histoire sur ce thème, j’ai foncé dessus et ça ne surprendra personne que j’aie adoré.

Y a-t-il quelque chose que cette auteure ne peut pas écrire ? Son talent est indéniable, la tension sexuelle incroyable, la relation entre les deux personnages tellement touchante. Et avec ce fond de seconde guerre mondiale et cette héroïne juive, je suis restée sur le bord de mon siège tout le long.

La fin m’a laissée tellement curieuse de connaître la suite et là j’apprends que ça fait partie de la saga « Parallel » que j’ai commandé et reçois aujourd’hui ! Meilleure nouvelle du monde ! J’espère vraiment que j’aurai le bonheur de retrouver Édouard et Marie dans ces tomes.

I’m so excited for Marie and Father Edouard. this shit is super forbidden. 1938, priest and a time traveler…some say she’s a witch but oh noooo that’s the love of his life. the fireworks are there and there’s no putting them out. marie ends up pregnant with his baby and more will come in across eternity.

I read this novella after completing the full parallel series. I think that’s the best way to read it.

I enjoyed continuing to be in the story with these characters I’ve come to adore. I was so sad when I finished Across Eternity.

I love Elizabeth’s writing so much. It feels as if I’m inside the book living/watching it.

I liked seeing the perspective of Eduoard and Marie in this novella.
