This is my favorite book yet this year! I loved the creative Christian tale with rotating timelines that left me breathless. I got invested in Maggie's life in each period, her family and friends, and, especially, her romances, as time ticks quickly by, leading to her daunting choice of the life she'll inhabit and the man she'll marry. Highly recommended!

As soon as I finished reading When the Day Comes last year, I opened the web browser on my phone and tried to find the release date of this book, the second in the series. I could not wait to find out what happened next—Meyer threw in a plot twist at the end of that book that I didn’t see coming, and I was excited to learn more. I was more than a little disappointed that I had to wait another year to get to read this, but it was worth the wait.

What a delightful story! I was concerned that with three different time periods to write about, one or another wouldn’t be as strong as the rest. But Meyer pulled it off beautifully. From the beginning of the story, I was never confused as to which time I was in, and each got the attention to detail it deserved. Honestly, I can’t imagine the sheer amount of research that went into this book, but it was brilliantly done! The only time I wasn’t feeling immersed in the particular time period was when I was worried about what was about to happen on a different path (and yes, there were a few of those moments), but even so, Meyer made me care about each time, and all the characters associated with each one, and I loved that.

The characters were delightful. I think one of my favorites was Delilah. She was hilarious!

I feel like I can’t say more, for fear I’ll give away spoilers, but if you enjoy historical fiction and sweet romance, this book (and its prequel) would likely be right up your alley. I couldn’t put it down once I got into it (I read for almost three hours straight one day, and the next day, wiped out an entire morning reading just so I could finish it!), and I’m eagerly anticipating the next installment in the series.

I was given a complimentary copy of this book, and this is my honest opinion of it.

A time travelling saga.
The main character has 3 distinctive lives - Margaret in 1861, Maggie in 1941 & Meg in 2001.
The book also felt like three dramas in one, as each era focused on a major change in American history - making the history come alive.
Loved how it was written in the first person perspective, showing how Margaret & Maggie faced ethical dilemmas because as a time traveller she knows the future, but can’t change history as there will be dire consequences.
Writing in the first person also made it more honest and real.
The twist comes when she turns 21 and must choose just one life she wants continue living in, made all more harder by the relationships and romantic liaisons she has made in each life.
Beautifully written and well researched, but personally found the time switching a bit jumpy and confusing.
Perfect read for any historical fiction fan.
Thanks @meyergabrielle @bethany_house & @netgalley for the eARC

In This Moment is a wonderful addition to Gabrielle Meyer's Timeless series. I loved every single page and am giving it five stars.

Thanks to Bethany House for the free book.
Meyer is back in this time-crossing story that was just as sweet as the first one. I started unsure of how three timelines would go, but I was pleasantly surprised at how well they worked. She anchored each in a significant year, so it was easy for me to keep the details straight. The families and friends were also genuine and unique, and I had no problem keeping each straight. Maggie was a woman dealing with so much. She lived in 1861, 1941, and 2001. I liked how the author explored the aspect of doing what God called her to do in each timeline. I also liked how she relied on her faith to help her make the decision of what path to stay in. Meyer also created such good suspense that I wasn't sure how Maggie would choose and could really empathize with her impending decision. This series is so good, and I recommend reading these in order.

Wow, wow, WOW! I didn't know if this book could live up to everything I felt from book 1 of this series, When the Day Comes.

I could not have been more wrong.

Gabrielle Meyer's writing is consistent, poignant and incredibly engaging. I feel like "can't put this book down" feeling quite a bit with how much I read, but this was a legit moment of I cannot read this book fast enough.

Before reading any further (no spoilers), but make sure you read book 1 of this series before this one.

Maggie is such a favorite character of mine. Everything she felt the writer passed on to the reader and it was an incredible reading experience. I felt the highs, the lows and everything in between.

What I loved about this book was Maggie's struggle to find the right answer. Which life path should she choose? The writer does an amazing job of showing the pros and cons to each path. I loved the setting for each life path and how they corresponded with the others. The attention to detail of pivotal historical events was an eye opening experience and I loved the patriotism I felt from this book.

'...if I know anything about the heart and soul of America, it's that no matter what she faces, she has courage and resolve to get back up and keep fighting.'

I loved the Christian elements woven throughout. I loved seeing Maggie go through every feeling with what life had brought her. I loved seeing the fight, the struggle. Her entire journey through this book was inspiring.

I want to give this book a million stars. It deserves no less.

Thanks to the publisher for the copy. All thoughts in this review are my own.

Content/Trigger: Mild depictions of war and battles and other historic events. Medical injuries with mild descriptions. Death of loved ones. Mild suspense. Christian beliefs. Family relationships. Love triangle. Kissing. You wont get any of your to-do's done in real life because you'll be busy reading :)

'In This Moment' is the secind book in the 'Timeless' series but reads as a standalone. It follows Maggie who lives three different lives in three different time periods and it is wonderful to read! I enjoyed alk the timr periods and felt like Maggie belonged in each path!
Thus boom is well-written, thought out and engaging. The romance and war episodes are well done wilthout being overly dramatic or cliche. There is also a nice patriotic, God is in control, undertone that I really enjoyed. Nicely set up for a book 3! Fingers crossed!

Remarkable! This is definitely one of my favorite books of the year.

Time-crossing storylines have captured my imagination for years. Many authors use a particular item as a conduit for time travel, but I find Ms. Meyer's use of a unique gift to be purely original.

Maggie has been born with the gift to live in three different timelines simultaneously, waking each day in a different time, alternating between each. Her life with each family is fulfilling, yet at the age of twenty-one she will need to choose in which life she will remain.

As Maggie traverses between three crucial moments in American history, her individual 'lives' are woven into one, one that is a remarkable story of courage and sacrifice. I immediately became invested in Maggie's lives, each filled with purpose and family that she loves.

I fell in love with the first book in this series, but found myself more invested in Maggie's story and captivated by the choice she faced, wondering which life she would choose. I love how the author includes a faith message of relying on God and seeking HIs will for one's life.

I fell in love with Ms. Meyer's writing style and look forward to reading more of her books.

I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book from Netgalley and the author/publisher. I was not required to write a review. All opinions expressed are my own.

I loved When the Day Comes so much that I couldn’t wait to dive into book 2. While I was excited to read this story, I wondered how this story would unfold with 3 timelines. Well, let’s just say there was no cause for my concern. Gabrielle completely surpassed my hopes and expectations! Maggie (also known as Meg and Margaret in her other timelines) lives in 3 very different time periods with 3 different families, yet in each one, she is motivated by her desire to serve and heal people.

I will not give any spoilers but I will say that just when I thought I had figured out how events would unfold, I was surprised. Just when I had decided which timeline Maggie would choose, I was surprised. In the end, the timeline I hoped she would choose was the one she ended up in. But true to the talented storytelling of the author, there were more surprises to come.

This is a beautifully written story - we watch Maggie’s character grow as she learns more about herself, her purpose in each timeline, and ultimately how to trust God. There were some very emotional moments - moments that I had to take some time to recover from before I could move on. But I loved every single minute of reading this story. While I finished the book, the characters and their stories have found a place in my heart. I cannot stop thinking about them. And with the nice little twist at the end, I cannot wait to read the next story.

Thank you Gabrielle for such a compelling and emotional journey. I am definitely ready to take the next one with you.

I received an early copy for review. The comments and opinions expressed are my own.

*Book Blurb : Maggie inherited a gift from her time-crossing parents that allows her to live three separate lives in 1861, 1941, and 2001. Each night she goes to sleep in one time period and wakes up in another. Until, that is, she turns twenty-one, when she will have to forfeit two of those lives--and everyone she knows in them--forever.
In 1861, Maggie is the daughter of an influential senator at the outbreak of the Civil War, navigating a capital full of Southern spies and wounded soldiers. In 1941, she is a Navy nurse, grappling with her knowledge of the future when she's asked to join a hospital ship being sent to Pearl Harbor. And in 2001, she's a brilliant young medical student, fulfilling her dream of becoming a surgeon, yet unable to use her modern skills in her other paths.
While Maggie has sworn off romance until she makes her final choice, an intriguing man tugs at her heart in each era. The mysterious British gentleman. The prickly, demanding doctor. The charming young congressman. She's drawn to each man in different ways, only complicating the impossible decision she must make, which looms ever closer.*

One of my favorite books so far this year! I adored the first book and was so excited for this second one on the series. In each time period Maggie has a different life with completely different families and situations. You can tell that a lot of research has been done because each time period is immersive in how they act, dress, eat, and speak. With Maggie learning to be a doctor 2001 when she wakes up in 1861 and 1941 she has to limit herself when she helps people because medical knowledge or inventions hadn't come yet. And to know what's going to happen in history but she can't change anything without forfeiting that time period. Maggie has to make so many choices. Which time period will she choose when she has three families she loves and three men she has feeling for. It made me wonder what I'd choose. A lot of great faith content. With Maggie praying and trying to understand God's will. Highly recommend!

I received a complimetry copy from NetGalley. All opinions are my own,

Gabrielle Meyer has done it again! When the Day Comes was one of my top favorite books of 2022 and In This Moment will be at the top of the list for 2023.
If you loved Libbie and her story, you will love her daughter Maggie.

With so much on the line, how can Maggie choose just one life to keep and the rest to lose?”
Once again, Gabrielle Meyer has written a story that is captivating, entertaining and engaging. Many applicable life lessons and words of wisdom are woven into the storyline. Words that apply to today. One of my favorite lines from this book is…
"Life is a gift and an adventure. We should never let fear hold us back from doing the things God has called us to do. The risk isn't always in going, sometimes the risk is in staying and missing out on the journey."

I received an advanced reader copy from the publisher through NetGalley. My opinion is my own.
You can pre-order In This Moment from https://bakerbookhouse.com/products/4...

More than anything, this book fascinated me so much.

This is the first story about time-crossers that I have read and it was quite interesting, intriguing and fascinating.
I loved the author's story telling style. I loved how she wrote about history. I loved how she wrote about 3 time periods so distinct from each other in a way that was so enjoyable and not tasking to read.

Lovers of history, romance would love this book.

I received a copy of this book from Netgalley and this is my honest opinion

I didn't thinks she could top when the day comes but Gabrielle Meyer just blew my exceptions out of the water.

First things first, You HAVE to read When the Day Comes first, no exceptions. Secondly, because I think this book is best gone into blind I wont be talking much about the plot because you deserve to go in FRESH.

This is a book that delves through multiple time important but tragic time periods in history. The time traveling concept felt just as unique as it did in the first book but just got better. I absolutely was invested in SO many of these characters, and anxious that everything would not come together as I hoped it would.

As much as I worried and over analyzed and changed who I wanted to be with Maggie to end up with. I think everything resolved itself EXACTLY as it ought to but I don't think i've had this much anxiety over possible relationships since Daughter of the Moon Goddess. BUT the end game is so very worth it.

This is a book about faith, and as much of us can't relate to time travel crisis' I think the parallels to life in general remain true. Sometimes we want SO badly for God to lead us down a path when he wants us to have faith in our own power to move towards our destiny. I think faith in the process is sometimes the hardest type of faith to have.

This story is a beautiful journey of discovery of what makes us US and how God plays into each of our stories...AND of course there is a lot of love...romantic and familial along the way. I swooned, I cried, and I felt very connected to Maggies story and her romantic possibilities. Once again...so freaking good, I absolutely devoured this.

I was worried that maybe this book wouldn’t live up to the first, or would be too similar, but boy was wrong! This book was fantastic! I loved it just as much as the first and I was surprised with every turn it took. The idea of a time-crossers is so fascinating to me! I wish I could be one! This series is so unique and I love bits of history that make these books so real! I hope for more in this series 😊

I have been waiting to read In This Moment by Gabrielle Meyer since reading the last word of the series’ first book, When the Day Comes. Let me just say this, it was totally worth the wait and I’m anxiously awaiting the next book! Please tell me there’s a next book!

There are so many things I want to say about this story - or should I say these stories? I thought three timelines might get confusing or that I would be unsatisfied at the end because of the timeline Maggie chose, but that was not the case! I loved all three of the timelines! There are so many plot points I want to talk about, but I can’t, because they would all be massive spoilers. What I can say is that I was flipping the pages as fast as I could because I needed to get to the end to find out which path Maggie chose, but at the same time, I did not want this book to end. I was thoroughly engaged in this story from the first page and every time I thought I knew what was going to happen, I was wrong.

I am really really hoping there will be another story in this series. With this series, Gabrielle Meyer has become an auto buy author for me! Do not miss this series.

I received a complimentary copy of this book. All opinions are my own. The faith thread is light. 5 stars!!

In This Moment is one of the most unique stories I’ve read. I don’t read a lot of time travel, but every now and then I like to venture out to a new-to-me or rare-for-me genre. I loved it.

Maggie is well developed. She’s a fascinating character who must make a difficult decision. I can’t imagine living in three different times, gaining knowledge, and forming relationships, and then having to choose. (Though I’ve had those thoughts of how I would’ve done things differently if I “knew then what I know now.”) You’d think I would’ve had a preference of which period Maggie should chose, but it was complicated.

This story fascinated, stunned, surprised, and wowed me. It holds strong spiritual elements, wonderful storytelling, and a touching message.

#CoverLoverBookReview received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions are 100% mine.

Really, really enjoyed this book! It had me totally hooked from page one.
And it is definitely relatable in a lot of aspects as well. So many quotes that hit home for me!
I didn't care for the writing style at first, but it grew on me, and it got better as the plot picked up.

I've never cared for books with different time periods and pov's within it, because I always ended up liking one of the characters more than the others and dreaded coming to the pov of the others (there are a few exceptions to this though); so the idea of having one character going to various points in time is very clever, I think. Never a dull moment.

Highly recommend this to anyone who likes books with time travel and sweet historical romance (with an exceptionally swoon-worthy hero).

4.5 stars
Thank you muchly to NetGalley and the Publisher for this ARC!

4.5 ⭐️

Oh my goodness, this book was such a wild ride—and I think I enjoyed it even more so than the first book, When the Day Comes. The three different timelines were easy to track with because of how the author made certain they were distinct, which I so appreciated.

I don’t think I’ve ever read a book where a girl has three men who are interested in her in three different times in history, and she has mutual interest too, before—and I have to say, I was so conflicted 😂 But after the first guy was eliminated, I was glad. But then I was torn between the other two. And then I was sold on who Maggie should choose and thank goodness she did, haha!

There were some unexpected plot twists and a lot more development with the concept of living in different time periods in this book than in the first, which was so neat to explore!

My only complaint with this book is that…it just doesn’t seem plausible that Maggie would never have accidentally used slang that wasn’t appropriate for the time periods she was in or unknowingly changed history due to her knowledge of past and present events, especially when she was growing up. Besides that, I really have no complaints. This book was super engaging, touching, and an exciting journey through history.

Thank you to NetGalley and the author for an eARC of In This Moment. A positive review was not required, only my honest opinion. All thoughts are expressly my own.

This book is an incredible sequel to the first in the series!
You can tell that the author has done extensive historical research, as each timeline in this story is sound and accurate.
The characters are well developed and lovable and you KNOW it’s well written when you find yourself torn over what decision should be made!

"In This Moment" is a stunning sequel that takes readers on a time-traveling journey through three distinct and captivating historical settings. The way Gabrielle Meyer weaves together the three timelines is nothing short of genius, with each era feeling distinct and fully realized. The emotional stakes are high in each storyline, and Maggie, the protagonist, is an incredibly well-drawn character who is both relatable and inspiring.

Throughout the novel, Meyer expertly captures the essence of each historical era, immersing readers in the settings with vivid descriptions and historical accuracy. The plot is masterfully crafted, with each timeline offering its own unique challenges and obstacles for Maggie to overcome. Themes of living in the moment, faith, and destiny are thoughtfully explored, making the book a timely and timeless read.

What makes "In This Moment" stand out is its unique approach to storytelling and themes. It is a fast-paced, time-traveling, split-time novel that takes a hope-filled approach to themes such as womanhood, equality, healing, and God's sovereignty. Readers will experience a range of emotions, and the book will stay with them long after they turn the final page. It is a must-have for any historical fiction fan's forever shelf.
