"Never Leave Me" by Jody Hedlund

 About the Book

In the last stages of a genetic disease, Ellen Creighton has decided to live out her remaining days at the estate of her longtime friend Harrison Burlington. Harrison cares deeply for Ellen, but as a wheelchair-bound paraplegic, he's never allowed himself to get serious in a relationship. However, he's desperately trying to save her by finding the holy water that is believed to heal any disease.

When he locates two flasks, Ellen refuses to drink one of them because she believes the holy water killed her sister and father. In an effort to convince her to take it, Harrison ingests the contents first, and when Ellen witnesses the effects, she can no longer deny the power of the substance in the bottles. Dangerous criminals are also seeking the holy water, and Ellen soon learns they will go to any lengths to get the powerful drug--including sending her back into the past to find it for them.

Bestselling and award-winning author Jody Hedlund plunges you into the swiftly flowing river of history in a race against the clock in this breathtaking, emotional second Waters of Time story.

My Thoughts

This is the second book in the Waters of Time series and it would be best to read the books in order so you know what is going on. This book picks up shortly after the first book ends and Harrison has continued to search for more holy water to help Ellen. I liked watching Ellen and Harrison's interactions and how they explored their expanding relationship. I found the book to be well written and it kept my attention so I wanted to ignore everything else and keep reading to find out what was going to happen. I liked the trip back in time and feeling immersed in the medieval era. The twisting complexities of time travel from the holy water were interesting and thought provoking. I look forward to reading the next book in the series as well as other books by Jody Hedlund.

Jody Hedlund is the best-selling author of over forty books and is the winner of numerous awards. She writes sweet historical romances with plenty of sizzle. Find out more at jodyhedlund.com. Jody lives in central Michigan with her husband, five busy children, and five spoiled cats. Although Jody prefers to experience daring and dangerous adventures through her characters rather than in real life, she’s learned that a calm existence is simply not meant to be (at least in this phase of her life!).

When she’s not penning another of her page-turning stories, she loves to spend her time reading, especially when it also involves consuming coffee and chocolate.
