Every Time I Love You
HE KNEW HE WOULD MOVE HEAVEN AND EARTH TO HAVE HER
Gayle Norman was too savvy to believe in love at first sight. And yet Brent McCauley, the brilliant artist, was irresistible. Within a month they were married. It was all so wonderful...so perfect... almost too good to be true. But when their bright love suddenly turned dark and dangerous could they believe in the reality of a long-forgotten past?

2.5 stars. In the past section, Katrina was a pretty good character but Percy was pushy AF and rapey. I hated him. Their present incarnations were okay, but I wasn't really a fan of how it all played out.

Loved it!
This book contains romance, history, and reincarnation. I especially enjoyed the hypnosis sessions which took them back to historical times explaining more of their story. Only thing I would liked to have known is how did Uncle Hick tie into their past? Was he connected to them from that previous life? Nevertheless, I loved the storyline of this book and enjoyed other books the author has written on this subject. I have to ask, more please!

this book had two things going for it from the start for me, as half the story took place in my fav historical setting - the Revolutionary War days - and the theme was past lives and soul mates, topics I can never get enough of. That being said, I would have liked to have given the book another star, but there were a few things that kept me from it.
The story starts in contemporary times, in the art world (and since I love all kinds of art this was another plus for me), where art buyer Gayle Norman meets artist Brent McCauley, when the gallery where she works is showing his paintings. There's an instant bond between them, more than just attraction, and right away she's not only posing for him but also sleeping with the next thing you know, they're married. then it gets to that "if it seems too good to be true" point, as soon she's having nightmares, visions, fainting spells and vague memories of another time, while he has episodes where he appears to be possessed by another identity. When psychiatrists confirm they're not suffering from any mental disorders, they agree to see (reluctantly on his part) a parapsychologist, and it's soon discovered they both lived before, in 18thc Williamsburg, and were caught up in the American Revolution. She was Lady Katrina, originally from Kent, England, and a Loyalist, while he was Percy Ainsworth, a patriot active in the Revolutionary cause. As in the present, the moment they meet back then there's an instant connection, though Katrina fights it, out of loyalty to her country, and considers him a traitor. Her brother wants her to use Percy's feelings for her to get knowledge of what the patriots are up to, but she does this halfheartedly, and soon they elope. Later, she's forced to betray him in order to save his life and this leads to tragedy. The hurt, anger and heartbreak carried over into their present life together.
I won't give anymore details away, but I will say that the story had more potential than it lived up to. Katrina made a bargain to save Percy's life, but it's one that I think anybody in her circumstances would have made and it didn't involve giving away military secrets or any other kind of espionage. Here's where I think the author wasted an opportunity. She could have had Katrina actually been British spy, then regretted her actions and tried to amend them, and it would have given Percy real cause to feel hurt and betrayed. The other man involved (the villain in the story) could still have played a part in things, and it would have made for a stronger story, at least I think so.
The other problem I have was with Gayle and Brent. While it's understandable they'd have a strong chemistry, and you expect some hot love scenes, it doesn't mean they have to get naked all the time. And when they weren't hitting the sheets, they were hitting each other, as Gayle would wake up from nightmares kicking and screaming and biting and scratching, and when Brent would get taken over by his past life persona, he'd get rough with Gayle, hit her a few times and even raped her. All this didn't make for entertaining reading, though it was supposed to emphasize how they needed to resolve past conflicts before their present life together was destroyed. Still....
The books goes back and forth from present to past, but I'm wondering if it would have worked better to have the story in three parts, with the first and last in the present, and have the middle all in the past. Again, that's just my opinion.
It's a book worth reading, though it's not without flaws.

Another favorite romance novel...this is about Gayle and .....Brett who meet, mate, and marry very quickly. The trouble begins when Gayle starts having nightmares and Brett starts getting migraines. Through a paranormal psychologist, they realize that they loved before during the Revolutionary war. Betrayal happened between the lovers and one vowed never to forgive the other. The old life imposes onto the new.

Good Grief! After a bad reading streak I was really hoping to read something light from an author that I have read and enjoyed in the past. Was really disappointed, this book is not up to her usual standards. I found it corny, sometimes boring and repetitive!

This was horrible. It was one of those "throughout time their souls still sought out one another" books. Boring

Always a great read
I fell in love with HG when I was a teenager long ago and though this book is from 1988 it is still a wonderful read and great love story.
