Tethered Through Time (Time Series Book 1) by B.A. Dillon

Synopsis:

When it is time for souls to meet, there is nothing on earth that can prevent it from happening. That’s what Emma Finch realizes after her first encounter with Luke Myers. A confirmed bachelor and undercover cop, Luke has made his job his life. Since his first love died tragically in a car accident, Luke hasn’t been seriously interested in anyone … until he meets Emma.
Emma is navigating life after her husband of 24 years dies suddenly. Her days as a middle school guidance counselor are filled with hormonal teenagers, while her nights are interrupted by a dream stuck on repeat. A chance meeting with the mystifying detective at a Memorial Day barbeque leaves Emma staring into the same grey eyes that haunt her slumber night after night. She knows her dream will unlock a mystery, and that it’s somehow tied to the tattooed, pierced law-enforcer.
As Emma and Luke’s beautiful love story develops, Emma’s dreams become more frequent and frightening. She’s completely convinced that the enigmatic couple she dreams about each night shares an undeniable connection to Luke and his current undercover assignment. Emma and Luke’s bond is so powerful, they both wonder if maybe they’ve met before. What they learn is that time has a wonderful way of showing them what really matters, and that the universe works in mysterious ways. 

What I have to say about it... 

Basically first and foremost I'd like to say that this is usually NOT what I read. I'm more the paranormal/NA - girl, but I am very happy to help out small (and not so small) Indie Authors and read their books for reviews. This is what happened with this book. I got it in exchange for an honest review and it's a three-and-a-half to four-stars-read. 

I had some troubles getting into the story, I have to admit. I can't exactly say what it is, but it felt like it was missing something in the beginning. If I'd have to describe it, I'd say it was pretty 'clinical', but luckily that changed later on. Writing is about getting something off your chest, doing something you love and that's what B.A. Dillon got to after a little while. After that this book turned exciting and sweet and REAL, which is what I look for in books. 

So, characters... Emma... Emma is awesome. She's sweet, independent and a woman who follows her heart. I love that. I know some people maybe have troubles with 'insta-love' (which is kinda what this is), but I seriously don't, especially not with the explanation B,A. Dillon offers for it. Love over time - Don't we all dream about that?

Luke... What can I say about Luke??? To be honest, I don't know where to start. COP - hot. TATTOOS - hot. DEVOTION TO HIS WOMAN - hot times ten. He seriously is a great guy and I fell in love with his dad (hahaha, kinky, right? *winks*) . The love those two share, the respect and the honesty in their relationship, I really loved seeing that and I heard we'll see more of him in book two! YAY!

So, again, this was a really good book in the end. I struggled in the beginning, but I'm glad I pulled through because the ending was just right and there were little scenes in between that totally made my heart ache with sweetness. I am going to read on. B.A. Dillon is on the way to write a great series for people who love mysteries, cops and the perfect love.
