Favourite Quote: "And yet, this is part of it too. This deep, dark grief - it kind of shakes you up, makes you appreciate life, love more. It opens your heart."
The River of Time is one of my favourite series so I was super excited to get my hands on an early copy of the final installment Torrent. And what an incredible read! It was everything I hope for and so much more.
Again Lisa Tawn Bergren has written another exciting and suspense filled plot. There are so many pulse pounding moments as Gabi and her love ones are never far from danger. But it isn't just action and adventure but also a insightful and meaningful story. It reminds you to appreciate every moment you have.
Gosh, I adore these characters. They are the type you admire and who inspire you to be a better person. It is always hard to pick a favourite out of this outstanding bunch but it would have to be Gabi with her strength, courage and kindness. She really has grown and mature so much in the series. Then you have Marcello and he is much more than just an Italian hottie. He is smart, loyal, brave and has such a beautiful and caring soul. In this installment Gabi's family plays such a large part of the story. It is great to read a book with such strong and positive family presence.
Now, talk about swoon. Torrent had plenty of heart melting moments. And I was surprised as another character tempted my heart away from Marcello (which I thought impossible). I wish I could say more but I don't want to spoil the book for you. I am hoping (and begging) that Lisa Tawn Bergren will decide to write this character a spin off series because I am in love again!
Overall, Torrent was amazing. My favourite out of the three and a perfect end to an unforgettable series. If you like stories full of adventure and romance then this is a must read.

Nic..I think i'm in love with a fictional character and I don't think they offer "help" for this kind of situation. LOL
@ Amber - LOL! Don't worry you are not alone! After reading this series I want to time travel back to 14th Century Italy too. Was it me but are all the men there HOT? (view spoiler) ***Nomes don't you click that spoiler, I am watching you@ Nomes - I hope it arrives before your holiday. I would have waited and read it with you if I didn't get a review copy and if I had more willpower.
Renyje - This series makes the romantic fool in me very happy. And every page is full with adventure. Not my usual read being historical but they just are so much fun.

I can't wait till Bourne is available then tributary then the next. Oh I can't wait to start reading and continueing the story line. It all has been what's next. It has been very grabbing and can't put down.
