She first met him in a dream. And now, weeks before she marries someone else, he's appeared in real life.
**
I’ve spent my entire life hiding what I can do. The things I know. Until the day Nick Reilly walks into my hospital room.

Nick—the man I've been dreaming about for as long as I can remember. I know everything about him, as if we spent an entire lifetime together, and I know I loved him in a way I’ve never loved anyone else...including my fiancé.

Even stranger? Nick’s been dreaming about me too.

Working with him to unravel the puzzle might save me, but the attraction between us could destroy us both.
Just like it did before.

Elizabeth O'Roark has a bunch of degrees she does not use and gave up working as a medical writer to craft grumpy, alpha heroes and the flawed women who love them. When not writing, she likes to spend time with her three kids, who are now teenagers and wish she'd find a different way to spend time. She can be found on Facebook feverishly debating whether or not "Die Hard" is a Christmas movie and telling people to read "The Hating Game", which she did not write but wishes she had.

Reviewed in Australia on 6 November 2019

Parallel by Elizabeth O’Roark is book 1 of a duet that right at this point I’m not sure I’ll pursue to the end. This is the first novel I’ve read by Elizabeth and I’d say the first time travel too, although I have read and enjoyed Transcend and Epoch by Jewel E Ann, and Find me Alastar by TL Swan, both deal with relationships spanning more than 1 lifetime but not specifically time travel. I have to be honest and say I’ve really enjoyed part 1, it has kept my interest totally but..... Anyone that has read my reviews knows I’m a big wuss when it comes to suspense and in fact I’ve been known to skip the icky parts completely because the HEA is where it’s at for me. The end of Parallel is in the midst of ickyness which has me guessing who, what, where and when but right now I don’t have it in me to read the icky to get to the HEA. Maybe I just need a day or 2 to gird my loins. If you enjoy suspense, I’d say read this because I really have enjoyed it.

Wait for me,” I plead. “I’ll find you, but you have to wait.”
This book is an amazing read. What if you have these dreams and thoughts that you have been here and experienced these feelings before - but not to the person you're engaged to??
I was kept guessing the whole way through the read. I am fully invested in this book - now I just need to bloody wait for the conclusion. Yes, it finishes on a cliffhanger. But, with only a couple weeks between each release, we don't have to wait for long!!

What if you found out your life wasn’t what you thought it was? If the future you planned wasn’t the future you were meant to have! Would you live the life other’s wanted you to have or live the life you were meant to live!? But more importantly would you even know the difference!

This is not your usual contemporary romance and you’ll need to bring your imagination along for this story as Parallel weaves the past, present and the future together in this cleverly written story.

This is part one and you’ll need to read part two for it’s conclusion. My advice is to not read reviews as you don’t want spoilers for this one. This is a first time read of this author and I really enjoyed this.

Wow. What a fascinating concept - the possibility of reincarnation or parallel lives. By the 59% mark, I loved it, and couldn't put it down. It's brilliantly written and I can't wait to read the conclusion. This is my first Elizabeth O'Roark book and something tells me I'll be reading the others 😃

I enjoyed this!
We end this one in a massive hoof with no real questions answered.
Fmc has a lot of baggage that is t really clear at this stage what we exactly caused it. There’s bits and pieces we are told about but no real depth which I’m 100% expecting in book two.

I liked out mmc he’s quite perfect.
I’m at a loss as to who the “bad guy” is but I believe the fmc is targeted because of her child.

I’m excited for book two!
Narration was fabulous both female and male
This is done in duel narration.

I love time travel books and this one is the best I have ever read. The pull Quinn has towards Nick cannot be denied. Nick doesn’t understand as clearly as Quinn does when he meets her that they are meant to be together. He cannot deny his attraction to her or how she seems to know things about him. I downloaded the entire series. I can’t wait to see what happens next.

Wow! This is a gripping love story with a twist. Yes it could be compared to The Time Travellers Wife but this has so much more to it. I now need to read the second book as the end had me wanting more!

One of the most EPIC LOVE STORIES I’ve ever read! Simply amazing and a MUST READ!

I’ve read a few of Elizabeth O’Roark’s books before, but it’s been a bit. Last week I found Parallel and downloaded it immediately. So excited to have found a new book of hers to read. Parallel is most definitely my favorite Elizabeth O’Roark book.

I am so in love with Nick and Quinn! Their life story is as much a fairytale as it is a nightmare. Imagine loving someone so deeply that spending even the littlest time away from them causes you so much anxiety but then to be without them and not even know why....absolutely devastating! I can’t imagine being without the love of my life. This isn’t just their love story...this is a love that spans over LIFETIMES!!! A love so strong that nothing; no one...not even time can withstand it. Yet it tries.

After an incident lands Quinn in the hospital where Nick works; the two encounter each other when Quinn needs medical attention. They feel this intense and immediate connection unlike anything they’ve ever felt with anyone else. Nick and Quinn feel like they’ve know each other their entire lives, yet these memories feel more like dreams.

So many memories.....Childhood best friends, high school sweethearts, college loves.. They have these feelings for each other and memories together that can’t be explained. Their attraction to each other is OFF THE CHARTS HOTTTT too! Trying to figure out what their past together was and what happened; they journey together to find answers. Only Quinn is engaged to be married and Nick has a girlfriend. With everyone standing in their way and only more obstacles piling up while they also try to fight their attraction to each other. The things they find out along the way are MINDBLOWING! At this point they aren’t sure what their next steps even need to be; just that they might just want to stop fighting this crazy attraction they feel for each other. What’s going to happen if they do!?!?

HOLY HOTNESS! I’m not sure the last time I read a book that I was actually rooting for the heroine to get the hero instead of me. I guess if we are going to be honest, I should admit that I was secretly hoping to go to sleep and dream of Nick Reilly! He’s just so amazingly perfect but with sexy flaws...if that’s even possible! Yea it totally is possible! Quinn is simply amazing! So strong yet at the same time after a lifetime of trying to appease everyone else she just wants to stop and put herself first for once. I found myself rooting her on time and time again while at the same time literally fussing at her aloud over her letting people run over her. It was amazing to watch her come into herself during the book. I loved her friends, they are so fiercely protective of her and that’s the way it should be! Don’t get me started on Quinn’s fiance & Nick’s girlfriend though!

This will go down as one of my TOP READS OF 2019! Absolutely amazing read!
