Synopsis:

Born a genius; education, wealth, and prestige came easy to Logan Richards. Actually, there wasn’t much that Logan couldn’t learn or acquire. However, he knew there was more to life than money and power. Logan was determined to find the woman who he'd dreamed of his entire life and know what it was like to love her before he died.

Amber Lewis, a waitress for a five-star restaurant in, Dana Point, California, was overworked, stressed, and wary of life since her sister, Heather, had passed away. Then, one evening while working she fell hopelessly in love with Logan Richards, a chivalrous man who felt deeply familiar.

For Amber, it was the beginning of a voyage of self-discovery and renewal. For Logan, it was the completion of life. For each of them it was the deepest sort of love.

Across Eternity is a beautifully written love story revolving around two soul mates who cross paths in every lifetime. Logan has spent most of his current life waiting for Amber. He sees versions of her in his dreams but never imagines that he will find her working in one of his restaurants. Their initial meeting made me laugh. Amber was so funny and feisty, never allowing Logan an easy exit. She knew immediately that he was hiding something from her and she wasn't patient about finding out his secret. However, Logan is a man practiced in patience and he made sure that Amber learned things when she needed to know them. One of these secrets made me want to through the book across the floor in heart-ache; however, I was reading on my Nook and I didn't want to break it.

This story had me laughing out loud at times and left me crying my eyes out at other times. This wonderfully written romance pulls you along on Logan and Amber's journey. The world that Ms. Whittier created was magical. Logan's family loved passionately, welcoming Amber with open arms. I found this a little odd. Most families of extremely successful and wealthy businessmen might be a little concerned why a woman ten years his junior would fall for him so quickly. Logan's family knew more about Amber and Logan's situation that Amber could ever imagine, and they trusted Logan's judgement unconditionally.

Across Eternity is one of the sweetest contemporary romances I have ever read. There aren't any steamy-hot sex scenes...just a tale of two people who love each other unconditionally. Two people who will find each other throughout the ages because they are meant to be. The twists and turns will keep the pages turning.
