*I received a copy of this book on NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you to the author, publisher, and NetGalley for this opportunity*

Mix together some insta-love, a dagger cursed by a demon, time travel powered by an ancient family, and some spice, and you'll have A PROMISE FOR ALL TIME. I picked up this book hoping it would be an Outlander-esque romance, but this latest book by Paula Quinn was decidedly not that. It's definitely a fantasy-romance, with Christian themes and some confusing plot lines. While I admire Quinn's ambition with this story, I spent the majority of the book pretty lost and wishing some extra time had been spent to develop the fantasy portion of this novel. I actually spent the majority of the book just wishing there was more-- more character development, more dedication to creating a realistic romance between the two MC's, just... more.

Julia Quinn seems to be a well liked romance author, and I'm hopeful that this book will find its audience-- unfortunately I'm just not sure it was me this time around.
