What if you not only fell back through time... but fell in love, too? Gabi knows she’s left her heart in the fourteenth century, and she persuades Lia to help her to return, even though they know doing so will risk their very lives. When they arrive, months have passed, and all of Siena longs to celebrate the heroines who turned the tide in the battle against Florence—while their enemies will go to great lengths to see them dead. Even in the midst of the battles, Gabi’s heart is increasingly drawn to Marcello, just as Lia’s is to Luca. In medieval Italy, the sisters discover things inside themselves that they couldn’t seem to find in the present—connection with their mom, courage within, and the understanding that a life well lived often means encountering sacrifice. But in a world long past, many things still keep Gabi from giving Marcello her heart forever… and one thing in particular calls all three of the Betarrinis home.

"Yet another book going on my favorites shelf! This second River of Time book by Lisa Bergren was at least as good as the first one, and maybe better. I adore the cover. The story was amazing. I love the girl heroines, and the guys are...wow. Wonderful. It's very exciting, and very sweet. I can't wait to read Torrent! Note to self -- must get hands on copy. :)"

“Although strong character development and non-stop action move the story line forward, it’s the swoon-worthy romance, based on sacrifice and faith, between Gabi and Marcello that truly serves as the backbone of the book.”
— School Library Journal“Bergren does a wonderful job of evoking the mood and feelings of the characters. Cascade is an incredible adventure as each chapter holds new twists, bold turns of events, and crucial decisions all of the characters must make.”
— RT Book Reviews (4 stars)" I'm totally addicted to this story! "
— Imjyfl, 1/22/2014" This was really good, but I got kinda bored at the end and had trouble finishing it. Worth finishing however, because it had a cliffhanger that led to the next book. Hope the next book proves to be better. "
— Shadowfairy, 1/17/2014" Another favorite - I liked this one more than the first! CANNOT wait to read the third! Reviews coming soon! :) "
— Kaity-Jane, 12/27/2013" AHHH I have to read the next book. "
— Sarah, 12/22/2013" Even better than the first book. "
— Lburt, 10/31/2013" Agh! I am now on a quest to hunt down book three! Love this series. Seriously. "
— Kelly, 10/10/2013" Great continuation of the serise and is once again left on a cliff hanger is as full of action and adventure as the first and can wait till i can read the next one. "
— Deborah, 9/24/2013" I loved it just as much as the first book. "
— Valerie, 8/3/2013" This one had more action and less romance than the first. "
— Jenny, 6/2/2013" Again, I liked this book. Is it a little far-fetched, yes; but so is the idea of time travel. I enjoyed the story, I enjoyed the characters, I enjoyed the fact that I wanted to keep reading to find out what would happen. I am looking forward to the next book to continue the story. "
— Emily, 1/13/2013" Really enjoyed the continued adventures. The war/politics/strategies were not written as clearly as possible. I kept getting confused and lost. The picture in my head changed as I pieced together more information as I read it. "
— Christine, 12/20/2012" I love this book/series! I can't wait to read the next book. I WANT, I NEED IT NOW!!! "
— Abigail, 12/17/2012" Great book I couldn't put it down!! The first book waterfall is just as good!!!!1 "
— Danae, 8/22/2012" Another absolutely amazing book from Ms. Bergren. My only complaint about this book is that sometimes when Gabi is thinking she slips into very modern slang that just doesn't quite fit the book. However, this only happens once or twice (which is why it doesn't really fit). "
— Veronica, 7/25/2012" This series continues to get better with each installment. "
— Christina, 7/2/2012" More books for the River of Time Series please! Love it! "
