This is the third book in the Time River series。 It’s a small town, single dad, romantic suspense that kept me engaged all the way through。 Ezra and Savannah have electric chemistry from the start。 The story is very sweet, emotional, steamy and there’s suspense, as well。 I really enjoyed this well written, exciting story
Clary,
It took me nearly two months, but I've finally found my first full 5 star read of the year。 This book was so brilliant。 It had so many aspects that I've craved lately in romance books: amazing MCs with such a tangible connection and chemistry I fell for them from the prolog。 The action was so well done, too, and I liked the way the whole plot was slowly built up and then boom! The last part of the book kept me on the edge of my seat because I cared so much about all the characters here。 I'll alw It took me nearly two months, but I've finally found my first full 5 star read of the year。 This book was so brilliant。 It had so many aspects that I've craved lately in romance books: amazing MCs with such a tangible connection and chemistry I fell for them from the prolog。 The action was so well done, too, and I liked the way the whole plot was slowly built up and then boom! The last part of the book kept me on the edge of my seat because I cared so much about all the characters here。 I'll always have a place in my heart for the sweet Ezra and the strong Savannah。 I've said it before, but I'll say it again: A。 L。 Jackson is one of the best authors when it comes to writing the single parent trope。 The way she is writing children is so real and heartwarming。 So I have 5 full stars for Ezra and Savannah and a piece of my heart for this wonderful story。 。。。more

LOL That last part I LOVE about her style。 She turned this story on its head for me at the twelfth hour and it just had me spinning。 It was a really good story until then。 Once she spined it, it became extra for me。 I almost rewound my audiobook and started again because surely I had missed a clue … spoiler alert, I had not。 WELL DONE! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻I’m sad that I haven’t had a chance to read and/or listen to Don’t Forget Me Tomorrow (book 2 in the series), not because I felt I’d missed out for the storyline’s sake, but because this is a close, tightknit community and they’re all involved in each other’s lives whether by blood or by choice so I did feel adrift a bit but the story does truly stand on its own。 It was an expertly unfolded storylines with plot points that made sense, and all moved the story forward, even the dramatic ones! The characters and relationships were all very well developed and also grew as the story progressed。 I was highly entertained and on my toes at every turn。 Again, well done!#FunTidbit: I don’t know whose idea it was to use *little trespasser* as the term of endearment, but if I did, I’d have questions。 It was great a few times and it also hit the mark a few times but overall, no。 lololol When I think about how many times I yelled (not in my head), “stop calling her that it is not as sexy as you think it is”, I laugh out loud like a lunatic。 Like right now。 ON THE FLOOR LAUGHING。 If you’re wondering how this could possibly have ridden my very last nerve, it’s because Ezra used the term of endearment 55 times。 Yes, FIFTY。FIVE。 You may now laugh on the floor as well。 LolololOVERALL: 4。25 stars ALC provided by Valentine PR for an honest review 。。。more

Such a beautiful story with so many emotions that grip your heart and pull on the strings and you never want it to let go。 。。。more

I could just hear their little voices in my head while I was reading。 I have not read the first two books in this series but can't wait to hear the stories about how the other couples came to be。 This book is the perfect combination of spicy romance and mystery, and the way everything is connected will completely take you by surprise。 And I love Ezra's nickname for Savannah, but you have to read the book to find out what it is! 。。。more

I loved the chemistry between Ezra and Savannah。 For as big, growly, and protective as Ezra was, he had some pretty big swoon worthy moments! I loved getting to see the relationship develop between Savannah and the kids。 Olivia was so dang cute with all the notes! I loved the found family vibes with the characters from the first two books。 If you are a fan of small town romantic suspense, this is definitely for you! This was a fantastic book!

However, this book did include one of my least favourite things: no prep, no conversation anal!The "crew" stuff felt a little forced amongst the girls。 They'd known her 5mins and given her a (frankly strange) nickname。 In terms of the narration, it was performed well by Desirée Ketchum and Zachary Webber。 My main issue was that it seemed Olivia was portrayed as very different ages by the two narrators (babyish vs preteen when she's she's 6/7)。Overall, I enjoyed this story but not sure I'll read another in the series。 。。。more

Ezra’s story is filled with cuteness (he has 3 kids), heartbreak (his past), and fun and love (that would be Savannah)。 It wasn’t easy going, both of them have their issues they’re dealing with。 And there is danger lurking all around。 But nothing can keep them apart, love is more powerful。

The way I love Ezra SO MUCH。 Also, Time River has an actual hold on me and I adore this town so much。 Claim Me Forever followed Ezra and Savannah through a lot of secrets and we watched them both hold onto a lot of pain that neither of them needed to carry。 I wanted to crawl through and hug Ezra for his feelings, but it’s okay, I didn’t have to。 Savannah did it for us!😌I adored Ezra as a dad and knowing what he did to protect his children and their view of their mom。 Honestly, what he did to pro The way I love Ezra SO MUCH。 Also, Time River has an actual hold on me and I adore this town so much。 Claim Me Forever followed Ezra and Savannah through a lot of secrets and we watched them both hold onto a lot of pain that neither of them needed to carry。 I wanted to crawl through and hug Ezra for his feelings, but it’s okay, I didn’t have to。 Savannah did it for us!😌I adored Ezra as a dad and knowing what he did to protect his children and their view of their mom。 Honestly, what he did to protect her image to the entire town。 He was an amazing father & an amazing man and I understand why he makes such a good Sheriff。 While the other two men have been morally grey, Ezra wasn’t and it was a nice change of pace to this series。 The suspense in this book was definitely my favorite of the three so far and I’m left wondering a few things, but I’ll leave them for another time because it could be a spoiler。 I’m just super excited to read the next book to see if I get some answers, or see what Ms。 Jackson’s plans are future books 🤭I think you’ll love this book if you like✨ Single dad✨ Close proximity ✨ Nicknames✨ Small town✨ Romantic suspense✨ Grumpy x sunshine✨ He falls first✨ No third act breakup4⭐️ | 3。5🌶️ 。。。more

NinaInkdawn,
Could A L Jackson ever disappoint me? Absolutely not。 Never What about this really struck me? Firstly the male character is a single dad who we all wish he would take care of us like he does Savannah。。。 I mean while I was reading I wanted him with me。。。 he was so absolutely adorable。 Savannah and her absolutely strong character who doesn't get caught with any word or gesture。 Ezra's children are another thing that when they were there I always wanted more, their relationship with Savannah? Truly Could A L Jackson ever disappoint me? Absolutely not。 Never What about this really struck me?

Truly unique。 The love story between Ezra and Savannah has literally won me over that I absolutely want to read the previous ones because I already miss A L Jackson's sublime way of writing。 Lastly, I was forgetting that if you love the trope, Found Family and more。。。 Definitely read this book。 For me the book is absolutely a 4。75 ⭐。 But it couldn't be otherwise。 💫❤️🔥💫 Thanks Valentine Pr and the author for the arc in exchange of an honest review。 。。。more

Britney Chavez,
Finally we get to know the grumpy, mysterious Ezra! I say mysterious because I knew there was more to him that he was hiding。 But my goodness that wasn’t what I thought he was hiding。 Made me feel even more sorry for the poor guy。 So much on his shoulders。I loved how he found Savannah。 It was like these two souls knew they needed each other。 To help them overcome so much in their lives。 These two broken people, that just came together like it was meant to be。My heart went out for Savannah, this Finally we get to know the grumpy, mysterious Ezra!

My sweet Olivia, this too smart for a 6 year old girl。 I loved her invites she would always make, that was so freaking adorable! And the twins, these kiddos were so fun to read with how they were with not only their dad, Ezra, but how they took to Savannah right away。 They knew too, just like Ezra and Savannah, they all were meant to be。。。。5️⃣🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌶️🌶️🌶️🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻10/10 recommendation‼️ 。。。more
Disreading,
I was lucky enough to receive an ARC of this book and once I started I literally could not put it down! I first discovered A。L Jackson’s writing with book one of this series, Love Me Today and it was instalove, me with her :) and the series never disappoints as it continues。 Ezra as a single dad of three young children out for revenge and Justice for what happened to his wife never saw the wildly independent yet deeply lonely and scarred Savannah coming。 This book seriously had me becoming a det I was lucky enough to receive an ARC of this book and once I started I literally could not put it down! I first discovered A。L Jackson’s writing with book one of this series, Love Me Today and it was instalove, me with her :) and the series never disappoints as it continues。 Ezra as a single dad of three young children out for revenge and Justice for what happened to his wife never saw the wildly independent yet deeply lonely and scarred Savannah coming。 This book seriously had me becoming a detective! I was constantly thinking I knew what connections were right and who the bad guy was but Jackson always threw a curve ball!! The suspense and mystery was immaculate。 The love story and chemistry between Ezra and Savannah was of course beautiful。 I even told Jackson I didn’t think she could top my love for the couple in book two, Don’t Forget Me Tomorrow, my dear Dakota and Ryder。 But she just found another couple to make me obsess over。 It was also amazing to see so many appearances of the other characters from the first two books in this one。 They are such a strong unit of family and it made such a greater and impactful story。 And the three little munchkins in this story!! The impact they had on healing the past traumas of our FMC broke and mended my heart!I could go on forever, the point is, read this book。 But also the full series! This could be read as a stand-alone but I highly highly recommend starting at book one to get the full experience! 。。。more
Anna,
I have patiently been waiting for Ezra’s book and it did not disappoint!SAVANNAH SHOWS UP IN TOWN AND IMMEDIATELY CATCHES EZRA’S ATTENTION。 THEY ARE BOTH SEARCHING FOR ANSWERS ABOUT THEIR LOVED ONES。 LITTLE DO THEY KNOW THEY ARE MORE CONNECTED THAN THEY THOUGHT!
Elle,
This tiny town, Time River, has had me in an absolute chokehold and Claim Me Forever is no exception。 Ezra, a single dad and small town sheriff, meets Savannah when he is investigating a trespassing call。 The attraction is immediately palpable, and Ezra starts helping Savannah get settled in Time River。This book is written so well。 The wording AL Jackson uses to evoke feelings from the reader is absolutely phenomenal。 Once I started this book, I couldn’t stop。Read for A Book Nerd, A Book Seller, This tiny town, Time River, has had me in an absolute chokehold and Claim Me Forever is no exception。 Ezra, a single dad and small town sheriff, meets Savannah when he is investigating a trespassing call。 The attraction is immediately palpable, and Ezra starts helping Savannah get settled in Time River。This book is written so well。 The wording AL Jackson uses to evoke feelings from the reader is absolutely phenomenal。 Once I started this book, I couldn’t stop。Read for A Book Nerd, A Book Seller, and a Bibliophile Blog 。。。more
