This is a standalone but looks like it will have follow up books involving new characters and I cannot wait! I loved this book. The main characters were all likable and worked well as a group. There was shockingly little angst and it was such an interesting idea. Enjoy!

Through a time distortion, the separation between two parallel worlds is breached with life-changing consequences for the protagonists. Dave Amsted, a helicopter pilot engaged in the study of time tears, flies over a particularly large disturbance and suddenly remembers events that never happened and feels a devastating longing for a wife he does not have. Marc and Sadie, happily married for ten years, are comfortably and deeply in love until, out of the blue, they both experience disturbing dreams that seem too real to be imaginary. Soon, a chance encounter brings all three people together, forcing each of them to confront an unthinkable choice.
A bit slow and awkward at the start, but a complex tale that eventually becomes compelling. The story achieves an HEA, but the epilogue introduces a new couple who, presumably, will be the subject of a sequel. The unusual aspect is that the three-way sex does not originate in a swingers’ club or similar impersonal meeting place, but instead it is rooted in long-term established relationships. It makes the fast development a bit more understandable.
The main characters are likeable and nicely fleshed out, especially the men, and the world-building is well done, hinting at a grandiose secret project, without getting the reader embroiled in too much detail since this is really just a backdrop for the main actors. There is unexpected humour in the interactions between the two men, as they are trying to figure out their future roles and a solution to their dilemma. I don’t want to give away the plot, but I found that part hilarious.
My enjoyment of the story was somewhat diminished by the unsophisticated writing style. Having read many beautifully crafted erotic scenes, I look for the author to draw me into the characters’ thoughts and feelings with nuanced, passionate narration rather than resorting to the most vulgar terms to turn up the heat. With the exception of direct dialogue, where sometimes people use crude language on purpose, sexual encounters should feel fascinating, sensual and all-consuming. Here the unnecessarily coarse terms disrupt the narrative and introduce a jarring element at a time when the complex interactions of three people deeply in love should take centre-stage. There are many more elegant word choices, and I hope the author will consider polishing this aspect of an otherwise lovely story.

A rip in the space between two different timelines causes trouble for the lives of three people, causing them to see and remember things that aren't their own memories. What to do when you suddenly find yourself married to, and in love with, two hot guys? Take advantage of the potentially marvelous situation of course!
I like the way the author has thought when writing this novel, but there is room for improvement. The intimate scenes, however, need no fixing, they are steaming hot as is! Apart from trying to be way too scientific, it wasn't too bad. However, I seriously doubt the situation would have fixed itself so smoothly if this had happened anywhere else than in a book=P

This didn't sit well with me at all! I didn't like how as soon as Dave appeared she completely forgot about Marc. She didn't even bother to be hesitant or considered Marc's feelings. She immediately had sex with Dave right front of Marc without even asking if he was okay with it. She even legit mentioned that she forgot Marc was there. I didn't like how Marc felt inferior or thought he was losing her. I also didn't like how Sadie said Dave helped spice up their sex life. This book pissed me off. I feel bad for Marc. He deserved better.

Book, one in a new series called Crossing The Line where a slip/tear in time has Sadie married to two men Dave and Marc but she does not know it until her dreams start. A book that kept me on the edge of my seat from beginning to the end, I want to read the next book. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

A wonderful book
An amazing people story. Memories from an alternate timeline enter three folk, and suddenly Sadie has two husbands. A good story of polyamory.

Loved the concept of two timelines connecting.
Was a bit shocked by Dave and Sadie's moves in front of Mark. A bit rude too. One star less.
Mix of humans, aliens and beings all together, but the story is mostly about the humans.
Lots is happening in his short story. The epilogue brings you to the next story.
Interesting read.
