I’ve been eagerly awaiting this next chapter of the River of Time Series ever since I finished Torrent and realized that more was on the way! I was so excited when Lisa T. Bergren announced that there would be an e-novella!
Bourne starts right where Torrent left off. In the middle of adventure, drama, and action!
I must confess I was a little nervous that perhaps Bourne wouldn’t have the same feel of the other three books ~ that maybe something would have changed or that I wouldn’t like Lia’s point-of-view. Nah. My fears were unfounded and my expectations surpassed! I finished Bourne in a day and Lisa T. Bergren had me cheering, sighing, laughing, wincing, and rooting for the characters the whole way through ~ as usual!
The turmoil, the triumph, the laughs, the life in this book just dazzle from he first word. I loved every minute of this story! My favorite part was how I felt so much ~ Gabi’s realization that she bears certain responsibilities, Lia’s wrestling with seeing a different side of Luca ~ all the heartache and joy just blasted from the page (er, screen).
My only complaint is that Bourne is about 1/3 the size of the other three River of Time novels and I was so not ready for the ending! That said, it was a great ending. At one point, I was reading through my fingers because I was so nervous…but that’s all I’ll say! No spoilers!

I'd be interested in knowing how she liked them (if she's read them already), Tarissa. :) I've read the first 3 three times. Each. :) <br /><br />I know. I'm that bad. ;)
A friend of mine got a set of the first 3 books of the 'River of Time' series last December. She was quite excited because they looked very interesting. I'm not sure if she ever read them, but I'll definitely have to ask her!
Thank you, Lisa! What can I say, you write some of the greatest books, I can't help but spread the word! XOXO
Thanks so much, Rachelle! I can't tell you how much your ongoing support of River of Time means to me. Big XOXOs!!
