In the tradition of The Time Traveler’s Wife, an unforgettable love story that defies time

I loved every second of my time with this beautifully written story … Set in a small town in Ontario, Canada, yet spanning the globe, this adventure is reminiscent of a philosophical would-you-rather and explores the devotion it would take to fulfill your partner’s dreams, spending vast amounts of time in solitude for the pleasure of savouring some of your remaining seconds, minutes, or hours together.

This is one of those stories that pulls you in, sets you on a wave of emotion, and leaves you breathlessly clutching your heart. It’s a romantic story but forces the reader to focus more on the limits we have as humans when facing death. It’s a story that’s a gut punch to the heart and questions the soul. What would you do when faced with death? And given the opportunity would you, too, descend into madness to give every last bit of yourself to have just a second more of time?

When the Sun Sets is a story that will stay with you and takes a unique viewpoint on one of life’s greatest questions that it will not be easily forgotten. I highly recommend this to a reader ready to dive deep into a story that needs your undivided attention, that will have you turning page after page with intense emotion, have you feel love and sadness and grief, and force you to reckon with the question “what would you do, if it was you?”

Where the Sun Sets Cover

Time travel romance in a brand new way…

The Gibbons worked their whole lives saving for their future. But at what cost? When it’s time to retire and reap the rewards of every sacrifice Vole insisted they make, they discover Bay is dying, and her burning desire to see the world beyond small-town Dorset will die with her.

Grief-stricken, Vole is magically granted the ability to stop and restart time. Using his powers, he takes Bay on a journey to all the places she dreamed of seeing. But traveling through a time-frozen world has its dangers. Nothing changes: water doesn’t flow, fires don’t spark, no one can move or die… except Vole.

When time stops, Vole grows old and unhinged; when time passes, Bay’s life fades. In the ultimate race against time, Vole must carry them thousands of miles around the world and confront his inner demons along the way, or forever fail the woman he loves.
