Lord Nicholas Kendall is tired of living in his brother Christian’s shadow. He’s the first-born and the one who will inherit the dukedom one day. He’s not jealous, just bored. Christian is welcome to that particular responsibility. Nicholas has more adventurous aspirations. He’s heard the rumors, even though his mother and father have done their best to squash them. Time travel is possible and … possible and his mother is proof of that. He intends to find a way to the future and explore all it has to offer.
Peyton Drake is recovering from a long illness that she thought she’d eventually die from. Thanks to her long lost sister, and the miracle of modern medicine she is in remission. She is enjoying her new lease on life and intends to enjoy every second of it. Anything is possible now that she has a future she can plan for. The question is: What should she do with her life?
Neither Nicholas nor Peyton expected they’d find each other. They each have secrets that they don’t want to share with the world. Love blooms in the most unlikely places and sometimes it takes traveling a couple centuries into the future to find it.

This is the Twelfth book in the Linked Across Time, a time travel romance. I loved it! You can listen to this story as a standalone. The storyline is funny, sweet, sexy, and entertaining. Nicholas and Peyton are great and likable characters. They share an instant attraction, and a strong chemistry. They are perfect together. Nicola F. Delgado did a great job with the narration. She has a beautiful voice. I enjoyed it. Looking forward to listen to the next book in the Series, Spying on My Scoundrel.
Wow did I this book. Nicholas feels he has no purpose and the curiosity of his family being able to time travel has him walking through the special mirror in to the future. There is so much I loved about this book, it’s so much more then just an amazing love story between Peyton and Nicholas. The narration was very well done, she moves in and out of characters so easily and smoothly. Her Irish accent for Peyton was awesome!
SECRETS OF MY BELOVED is the twelfth book in the Linked Across Time series. One of Lady Elizabeth’s twin brothers (from book 6) is the main character of this story and he travels through a mirror from the 19th century to the 21st.
Back in the 1970s there were a lot of novelty songs and one of them was I Am My Own Grandpa. The twists and turns in these stories brought this old gem to mind, especially when Nicholas refers to Bradford as his “Uncle Great Great Great Nephew or something like that.” This is a twisted time travel romance that makes this kind of fun observation possible.
I didn’t really like the foppish twins in prior books, but now I love them both. Nicholas has discovered his own life and I’m sure his brother, Christian, will find his true love in one century or another.
The story is fun as Nicholas learns about his talents and the new century into which he has traveled. His family is sweet and accepting. Peyton is sweeter.
Note: While I received this book as a gifted ARC via Booksprout, my opinions are my own and are given freely.

Secrets of My Beloved is book number twelve in the Linked Across Time series. You would think by now this author would have run out of time travel stories to tell but this book is another fantastic read and the stories just get better and better. This book takes on a different time travel twist in that Lord Nicholas wants to time travel like his family did. One problem, when he finds love will he come back in time or stay in the future. Great writing, interesting characters. humor and an intriguing story make this a great addition to the series.
Thanks to Ms. Brower, I am really starting to enjoy time travel romances. There’s so much adventure and humor, this book was so much fun to read. Nicholas travels to the future where he meets Peyton, the love of his life, and she is quite the match for him. Their dialogue was witty and a lot of fun to read. They were the perfect couple, challenging and complimenting each other. The plot was intriguing and really kept my interest throughout. A very enjoyable read!

This book was a real page Turner. I enjoyed it so much. It was a marvelous addition to the series. I voluntarily read and reviewed this book in exchange for a free copy.
Time travel romances are so much fun to read! And this series is one of the best available! Especially when it is the male character that does the traveling and when he ends up in the future it can get downright hilarious! I thought Nicholas was a great male lead character (I would not mind at all if he suddenly popped into my life). Peyton was also the perfect counter-balance for him. He discovered that women in the future were a lot harder to romance than the women he was used to in his own time period and he actually had to put forth a great deal of effort to win her over! I absolutely love the books in this series and I intend to read them all, starting with the very first one until I have read them all. They are all loosely interconnected and I want to follow the progression of all of the characters. For me, that makes them definite keepers to be enjoyed again and again!

Another enjoyable time travel romance. This one had an unique twist in that it was a purposeful traveling. I enjoyed seeing some past characters. I’ve kind of jumped around in this series, reading the books in the middle but not the beginning ones or the few before this one. I can piece together some of what I missed though and still really enjoy it. There is some steam.

An interesting story of a modern woman and regency noble who fall in love. I received an ARC copy and am voluntarily leaving a review.
This is another great time travel romance in this series.. He is the younger twin and his brother will inherit the estate and he is bored and can’t find any useful. He wants to time travel like his mother did (she was a doctor in the future0. He talked to a sister and she said her husband had walked through a mirror, so he tried it and it worked. He went into the future and found the love of his life and net relatives from the future that knew his mother. There is a lot of romance and intrigue, but the ending is great.
Funny, witty. Nicholas is the youngest twin, so his older brother Christian will inherit the Dukedom. Nicholas is all of a sudden restless and wants love like what his parents have and his sister found. When he stands in front of a special mirror in his parents’ home he is pulled into the twenty first century. He not only gets to meet his mom’s relatives, but future relatives. And he meets the woman he wants to marry. But convincing her will not be easy. I love Nicholas. He was funny and confident, and Peyton didn’t make things easy for him. I loved the scene where he gets into an automobile for the first time. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review

Into the future
Going back in time is one thing because depending on where you land chances are you have some knowledge of that century. But going to the future is a whole different thing. Luckily Nicholas at least had some knowledge of the future thanks to his mother. And he was also fortunate that he landed with family. Nicholas and Peyton made a nice couple. Nicholas was seeking something and After the trial Peyton had endured she knew what was missing but didn’t think she would ever find it. Together they made each other whole. After reading Nicholas’s story I’m very anxious to read Christians not sure I’ll make it till December but I do have it on my preorder list.
