“I’m so used to uncovering selfishness and betrayal. I almost don’t know what to do with sacrifice and hope.”
"You can hold it close,” I told him, “just as I am trying to do.”

Listen, I'm not a huge fan of time slips. I just don't love being jarred from time period to time period. I almost didn't request this book, because who wants to be jarred in THREE directions? Not to mention the love square.

But it just goes to show that even those ingredients that I generally don't love can still create a compelling story in the hands of the right author. I really didn't know what or how Meg/Maggie would choose which era to stay in, because she loved all three of them and had meaningful work and relationships in all.
There's some lines about following your heart that I think could be misconstrued out of context. In this case, she prayed for guidance first and foremost, and the Lord really did seem to be letting her make the decision, like there was no wrong answer, spiritually speaking. So in those cases, how do you make such a life changing decision? I think we've all been there - and then in hindsight you can see how God did answer and lead you to the final choice. In the end, the question was answered and the choice obvious.
Loved the plot twist halfway through. This author's writing and unique stories result in books I just can't put down.

I read a copy provided by the publisher and Netgalley. All opinions are my own.

After reading Gabrielle Meyer’s novel, When the Day Comes, (which blew me away), she has become one of my favorite authors. Gabrielle has an incredible imagination, writing style, and her love of history spills over onto the pages of her novels. When I read the last page of book one in this timeless series, I hadn’t a clue what this book would explore. I couldn’t imagine the adventures she’d take me next. I thought I’d get lost in reading, In This Moment, because there are three timelines to follow, but this author brilliantly and seamlessly takes readers on an incredible journey through time hitting some horrific moments in the past, seen through Maggie’s and her loved one’s eyes. On her 21st birthday, which was quickly. Approaching, she had to choose which timeline to live in forever. There were hard choices to be made. She loved people in all three timelines, how could she choose?

This is a captivating, heart-felt novel you don’t want to miss. This makes for a wonderful book club discussion. If you haven’t read a book by this author treat yourself to this timeless series.

Another fantastic time travel/jumper story from Gabrielle Meyer!
This story follows the daughter of book 1’s hero and heroine, Margaret Hollingsworth. Maggie lives in three different decades, due to the double birth marks she was born with. Readers are treated to major historical events in 1861, 1941, and 2001 that shaped America.
Maggie feels called to work in medicine, and in each of her paths she is able to practice it somehow. Determined not to fall in love and to choose the best path, Maggie tries to focus on her work. Of course, she’s presented with three charming possible love interests to distract her – one for each path.
There’s a lot to like about this story. Each storyline has its own heartaches, intrigue, and secrets that make Maggie’s decision difficult. Each path places her in Washington D.C., providing an interesting glimpse into how the city changed – and stayed the same – over 150 years.
By far, my favourite hero is Graydon. He’s a gentleman through and through, even though it’s obvious he has secrets of his own. Zechariah’s journey is remarkable and turns out to be a great hero too. Seth is the least likeable hero, even though he’s extremely charming. Maggie’s choice isn’t easy!
I enjoyed this story and look forward to book three (I’m hoping there’s one!).
I received a copy of the book from the publisher through NetGalley. All opinions expressed are my own.

IN THIS MOMENT is another clever time crossing novel by GABRIELLE MEYER. This time the protagonist, having two time crosser parents, lives in three different time zones. She is Margaret Wakefield in 1861, Maggie Hollingsworth in 1941, and Meg Clarke in 2001. In each of these time periods she has a romantic interest and we wonder if this will influence her decision as to which life she will choose on her 21st birthday? She also has beloved family members in each of her lives which makes her choice difficult. In spite of the strangeness of her life, she seems to have been brought up knowing the Lord, and we see her trying hard to choose the life He wants for her. ……
The three periods chosen by the author, together with the world changing events during those times of history are woven very well into the story.
I found the book interesting and enjoyable with its three stories in one.
I was given a free copy of the book by NetGalley from Bethany House Publishers. The opinions in this review are completelymy own.

This book made me nervous, in the aspect of it had a great premise and I knew it while either be a can't put down page turner or it would be a giant fail. I'm happy to report it was the first! I've never read a book quite like it, with three time travel periods and now I'm hoping this is going to be a a series because it was fascinating!!!!

One of my most anticipated reads of the year.

Maggie time travels and lives 3 different lives between 3 different time periods..1861, 1941, and 2011.
Upon her upcoming birthday she must choose which year to stay in and which of the 3 men she will choose to stay with.

This story pulled me in quickly just like the first of the series. I had to keep reading to see what would happen.
It was interesting this go around to see Maggie live 3 lives that were all taking place at the start of a war.

The writing was beautifully done and I was first torn for her and the decision she had to make. I will say I was very happy with how it concluded. I hope this isn’t the last in the series.

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for sending me a copy.

In This Moment by Gabrielle Meyer is a delightful time traveling story. I do enjoy how Meyer puts her characters in important moments of history, and her words allow the reader to feel like they are actually there experiencing the event. This time around, readers are in the Civil War, World War II, and right before 9/11. Since Meyers has already explained the time traveling gene in the previous books, readers familiar with the first book will notice that is not covered in this edition. However, this time around, the story focused a lot on the romance in each time period. Sometimes I thought it was a little overdone. Yes, the main character, Maggie does wonder what she is going to do when she travels back and forth and what time period she is going to stay in. However, the romance of each time period seems to be the more pressing issue. I, personally, don’t mind a little bit of romance, but I don’t like to see it overcome the story line. This time around, it does seem to do this a little too much. The events are interesting that Maggie time travels to. I enjoyed seeing the affects that it has on her as she knows information about each time period before it happens except 2001. The readers are familiar with what is about to happen, so we are waiting anxiously to see how this plays out. Meyers does leave a little twist at the end of the book that will make readers want to see her next novel and see what happens. I know I can’t wait to read the next book, if there is one.

I received a complimentary copy of In This Moment by Gabrielle Meyer from Bethany House Publishing, but the opinions stated are all my own.

Another wonderful time-slip story from Gabrielle Meyer. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and had a hard time putting it down. I liked how the author kept the reader in the dark as to which time period Maggie would choose. The historical information regarding the three time periods was fascinating. The author brought to life how the situations of the Civil War, WWII, and the Twin Tower attacks affected individuals and those they loved. I hope Ms. Meyer has another story or two in the making for this series, Timeless. There is a strong message as to the work of God in our lives and how He draws us closer as we navigate uncertainties and challenges. Readers who love historical fiction and time-travel genres will NOT want to miss In This Moment. I read a complimentary copy of the book and was not required to write a review. The opinions are my own.

I was not previously familiar with this series, but I thoroughly enjoyed IN THIS MOMENT. I sympathized with Margaret as she juggled three different lives in various time periods. The author does a fantastic job of making each storyline equally compelling, which is so hard to do.

My one complaint is that some parts are over-written. For example, the author says the same thing multiple times such that a character departing a room can take 1.5 pages. I wish she trusted the reader to get the point without repetition. This would make for a tighter and slightly shorter manuscript overall.

The ending is super satisfying, and I admired how the author wrapped everything up. The message of faith in God is also handled beautifully.

I look forward to more from Meyer.

1861, 1941, 2001? Which of these times will 20-year-old Margaret choose? Born with a gift to travel across time, Margaret lives three vastly different lives and must make a choice by her 21st birthday, which life she wants to live forever. In 1861, Margaret is daughter to a U.S. Senator, living in Washington D.C. on the cusp of the American Civil War. She meets Mr. Gray Cooper. Exactly who is Mr. Cooper, what secrets is he hiding, and why does her heart seem drawn to him? In 1941, Maggie is a nurse working at the Naval Medical Center in Washington D.C. She is assigned to work with the gruff and surly Dr. Zechariah Phillips. She realizes that under that brusque demeanor is a man who she very much wants to get to know better. But a transfer to Pearl Harbor, might put their relationship in jeopardy. In 2001, Margaret is a fourth-year medical student at Georgetown University Hospital in Washington D.C. Her best friend and roommate Delilah knows all her secrets. Margaret meets the outgoing and handsome Congressman Seth Wallace, who charms her and steals her heart. In each time, Margaret is falling in love with a different man, how can her heart choose? How can she withhold information from those she loves in 1861 and 1941 when it could save their lives? She might live in three separate times; however, her heart lies in each time. When terrible tragedy strikes, the choice of where she stays may not be up to her. Will her faith in God crumble under the tragedies? I have waited in such anticipation for this novel. I genuinely enjoyed “When the Day Comes,” the first in the Timeless series, and was hoping that this second novel would be just as good. I was not disappointed. I could not put it down. I was rooting for Margaret in all three times and could not choose myself, what time I wanted her to stay in! The historical detail and the depth of the character’s emotions and faith were impeccable. Themes of faith, hope and courage wound themselves throughout each chapter. I kept reading long into the night because I wanted to find out what would happen. I loved how real-life characters in each time made appearances in Margaret’s lives. Ms. Meyer is a gifted storyteller and was able to deftly weave three fantastic stories together. The ending came with a surprise which I hope carries over into a third novel in this fantastic series. “In This Moment” is a captivating novel that will leave readers clamoring for more! I thank NetGalley and Bethany House Publishers for the ARC of this book. I am not required to give a positive review. All opinions within this review are my own.

The first book in this series, When the Day Comes, blew me away, so I couldn't wait to get my hands on In This Moment! I loved how Gabrielle took the parallel time lines to another level by the heroine living in THREE time periods at once. I wondered how she could make this one near as good as the first, because the first was so creative and surprising. But she once again proved why she is one of my top favorite fiction author discoveries of 2022!

Just like the first one, I hesitate to say anything about the story because I don't want to spoil the experience before someone reads it. I loved that one of the time periods was so modern--2001--and how Maggie had to keep herself from using that modern medical knowledge in her other lives in 1941 and 1861. Even the slightest things may trigger a cascade of change, and yet the fact Maggie isn't a time traveler from the future but actually has lived a full life in the past as well--that's just fun to read about and mentally play with.

This was a fun Christian book. I love how the main character jumps through different time lines. It makes the story interesting. It also was I threshing because it deals with the medical field. Both my sister and mother work in the medical field so I can relate because I work around people this book was approved by netgalley and the publisher for me to read and review.

Absolutely superb! A wonderful second novel in this series by Gabrielle Meyer, and I think (if it is possible, because the first one was so good) this is even better! Wonderful, captivating writing gives this novel the depth and ability to pull in any reader. Vivid, descriptive story-telling, with interesting characters that have depth to them, and are skillfully rendered. This was the absolute perfect romance I was looking for, it had all the warm feels and was just so wonderful. I actually read it again right after I finished it because I loved it that much. Valentine's day isn't too far away, and I promise you, this book should be on your list to read for it! I loved everything about this book, and highly recommend it! Ten stars! Thank you to Netgalley and the Publisher - what a treat this was to read!

If you enjoy historical fiction or christian fiction you’d enjoy this! I loved this book!!! I want to read more by this author. It wasnt sappy. The relationships seemed realistic. The challenges she faced were very real. Very good book!!!

4.5 STARS

Like a lot of readers, I've been looking forward to this story since the second I finished the first in the series, When the Day Comes! What an amazing and unique series this is!

I loved following Maggie through 1861, 1941, and 2001 in her paths. The writing and flow of the book was as great as the first one. Sometimes it felt like I couldn't read fast enough! I had to know which path she would choose!

What keeps me from giving this a full five stars is a little disappointment, but I can't say what, how, or when this disappointment came without spoilers.

That said, When the Day Comes holds a super special place in my heart, and I'm glad we got to see more of the time-crossing premise with Maggie. I feel like there will be another book in the series, and I hope I'm right!
