Heroes for Ghosts

Every so often I find myself reflecting on “what if someone from another time could experience our future? How would that affect my own sense of the time that I live in?” This series of books by Jackie North explores this idea. So many of the things we now take for granted were not always so. This is a read that is quite full of romance and what if. As time travel stories go, this one successfully navigates the genre’s challenges.

This is part of Ms North’s Love Across Time series, of which there are six books. Additionally, this book has a sequel: Heroes Across Time

* * * * *

Star-crossed lovers lost in time and ripped apart by war. Will desire win the final battle?

Ornes, France, 1917. Stanley Sullivan is trapped in hell. With combat raging and defeat imminent, he’s determined to save his remaining brothers-in-arms no matter the cost. But when he’s killed before he can sound the call for retreat, he’s shocked to awaken a hundred years in the future.

Ornes, present day. WWI scholar Devon Foster laments the tragedy of the conflict. But as he works on his thesis and fantasizes about meeting a real American soldier from the era, he’s stunned when handsome Stanley appears out of nowhere and falls into his embrace. And despite the century-long gulf between them, Devon’s heart leaps with an instant connection.

Torn between his growing feelings for the quirky man and his own guilt over his long-dead battalion, Stanley is confronted by a decision that could change the course of history. And though Devon feels his lover’s pain, he’s desperate to keep their newfound affections firmly in the present.

Will their timeless passion endure the twists of fate?

Heroes for Ghosts is the enthralling first tale in the Love Across Time MM gay time travel romance series. If you like heartrending chemistry, sweetly drawn characters, and impossible dilemmas, then you’ll adore Jackie North’s touching story.

The Purple Fantastic Steam Rating gives this a 3 or 4 out of 5. It has steamy moments, but this is more about characters and plot than steam. You can read more about the Steam Ratings on the About Page.
