Description Christmas Eve Promise: Time Travel Novel by Elyse Douglas


Eve and baby Colleen are traveling to Ohio for the Christmas holidays to spend time with Eve’s parents.

After a few days in Ohio, they all plan to fly to Florida in Eve’s father’s private airplane.  Patrick will meet them there after he completes exams for his forensic psychology degree.

Nothing goes as planned.  The day Patrick is to leave for Florida, he receives a shocking telephone call from one of Eve’s cousins.  Sobbing, she tells him a terrible tragedy has occurred.  It stuns him and shakes him to his heart’s core.

His life shattered, Patrick knows he has but one chance:  he must use the time travel lantern to return to the past in order to prevent the current tragedy.

But once again, the time travel lantern has a mind of its own, and Patrick is hurled back to a time where he must confront a strange, unfamiliar world and learn why the lantern transported him there.

When Patrick comes face-to-face with a mysterious, beautiful woman who looks and acts like Eve, and whose name is Eve, Patrick is haunted.

He recalls the promise he and Eve had made to each other on Christmas Eve the previous year—no matter what happens; no matter if they’re separated; no matter what time or place they find themselves in; no matter what obstacles they must face, they will always find each other, help each other, and love each other for all time.

The Christmas Eve Promise is a journey about the enduring promise of hope and the infinite, unbreakable bonds of love.

My Thoughts Christmas Eve Promise by Elyse Douglas


If you have been reading my reviews for a while, you probably noticed that I love Elyse Douglas novels.  They are a married couple who release many novels each year.  They are a power couple of literature.  I have not read a book that they have written that I have not loved.  Their new novel, ‘The Christmas Eve Promise’ is no exception!

Book 4 of the ‘Christmas Eve’ series, ‘The Christmas Eve Promise’, starts out with a promise that Patrick and his wife give each other. 

“I want both of us to promise that no matter what happens to us; no matter if we’re separated; no matter what time or place we find ourselves in; no matter what obstacles we face, we will always find each other, help each other and love each other, for all time.”

This is a promise that Patrick will soon need to find a way to keep and it won’t be easy.  It means that he will need to light the time travel lamp again.  He has no control over what year if will bring him back to.  This time it ends up being 1925.  Why it brought him all the way back to 1925, he has no clue.  He really was hoping to just go back a few days or even a week.

While in 1925 Patrick gets reacquainted with a character from the previous books and meets all kinds of new quirky and some dangerous characters.  He also meets a woman who looks just like his wife, Eve.  Is she a relation to Eve?  Is she the link to what he is looking for?

I love reading about the roaring 20’s and the time of prohibition, not to mention woman only got the right to vote only 5 short years before!  The characters, the times, place, and landscape of 1920’s New York all came to life in the expert writing style of Elyse Douglas.  The Douglas’s have a way of writing that makes you feel like your have time traveled and are interacting with the characters and experiencing everything they experience.

I cannot recommend this series highly enough.  Though each book can be read apart from the others, I do recommend you read the entire series in order to experience the full story. Elyse Douglas has left me begging for more!  Please continue the series, pretty please!  I give it a big five stars!

I received the eBook for my honest opinion.
