LOVED this book! FOR ALL TIME, the second in the Nantucket Brides Trilogy, was an awesome read and I can't wait to read the third book.

This one took a little while to get into. They're beautiful and perfect and in love at first site blah blah blah. But when she got into the time travel that Jude Deveraux does so well, it was hard to put down. It even got me onto the treadmill so that I could finish it guilt free :)

The Montgomery-Taggert clan is back with a whole new generation, but some things remain the same: family legend states you marry the one who can tell the twins apart. Problem is, this time the twins are princes, and the heir to the throne has his engagement already arranged. Still, Graydon is fascinated by Toby and decides to trade places with his younger brother and stay on Nantucket for an extra week after his cousin's wedding just to see what it's like to feel like an ordinary man rather than a crown prince.
Toby's introduction to the twins does not go well. When Rory approaches her group at the restaurant the night before the wedding, she takes an instant dislike to his presumption they'd stop what they were doing and pay attention to him. The day of the wedding, Graydon pretends it was he who'd come over to them at the bar, angering Toby, who hates liars, especially smooth, handsome ones like the men her mother constantly throws in her path. He will have to work very hard to convince her to give him another chance.
An accident in Lanconia means Graydon has to stay put for a while, joined by his bodyguards, Daire and Lorcan. Initial assumptions lead to hurt feelings, which leads to Toby falling asleep in a vacant house and dreaming of a past life filled with friends and family in different clothing and social roles. It's the most realistic dream Toby's ever had, though, and suddenly, a tiny hidden room in the house fills her with terror and the conviction that she once died inside. At least the mystery serves to somewhat distract Toby from the knowledge that her time with Graydon will soon end, so falling in love with him would be a Bad Idea.
Unbeknownst to me when I requested the ARC from NetGalley, this is the second book in the series. I normally do not read series books out of order, and this is a prime example of why: I spent much of the novel wishing there were a detailed family tree and glossary of people and houses to help me keep track of who was whom. I kept having to flip back and reread pages, trying to piece together what was going on and how everyone was related. I'd definitely suggest reading this series in order, since one book flows right in to the next.
I'd classify this romance novel as a good beach read. Graydon is so improbably perfect (A prince who cooks, organizes messy rooms, waters plants, has the body of a toned warrior, and pitches in to help plan a fancy wedding? Riiiiight.) that I almost tagged the book "fantasy." It's a fun read, though.
For readers' advisors: story doorway. Lots of kissing, not much sex or bad language.
I received a free Advance Reader's Copy (ARC) from NetGalley in exchange for my honest review.

A good follow up to the first. A bit of a silly story and again doesn't all really make sense. But I overlook it for the fairy tale at the core. Cute.

I fell in love with Jude Deveraux in my teens reading A Knight in Shining Armor. For All Time is the second story in the Nantucket Brides Triology and begins where True Love left off. This is the story of Graydon and Toby. Graydon, being a real live prince and Toby, the girl everyone on the island loves and wants to protect. And of course if you're a fan of Ms. Deveraux, you know about the "twins" legend. The way she has brought the Montgomery-Taggert family into modern times allowing for little reminders to past stories is wonderful. I would not recommend reading this particular trilogy out of order as it really cannot stand on it's own and would be confusing, but you certainly do not need to have read the historical books to fall into the story. I know historical romance isn't everyone's cup of tea. I will say, you need to have an open mind and enjoy a bit of whimsy to enjoy the series.

This was so disappointingly lame.... The other two books (1 and 3) were alright, but they were a lot better than this one. It felt like I was just sitting around waiting for something to happen the entire time. Entirely too long. I thought her roommates storyline would have been more interesting than this one.

Words cannot describe what a weird book this is. Imagine a typical romance novel, but there is a prince from a fictional European island who is betrothed to a noblewoman. Said prince has a twin, and legend states that if a woman can tell them apart, it's True Love. You know where this is going. Except you don't really because halfway through the novel . Did I mention this all happens in Nantucket?
Points for creativity, but this book is whack. What's that saying...you are what you read? This book is trash, and so am I.

I loved this book! It was interesting and fast paced to help the reader stay engaged. Both Toby and Grayson were amazing characters that were so fun to read about. Their interactions were both comical and romantic and added to make this a great book.
