When I read the blurb for this book and saw mention of secret time-travelling agents, I knew I had to read it. I used to love the TV series, Quantum Leap, as a teenager and it made me think of that. So, yeah, I really wanted to read it!

I enjoyed the paranormal aspects of the story, even though I was initially a little confused over certain things ( I haven't read the first book and assume if I had that it wouldn't have been an issue at all.) Once I got into the meat of the story, it was more tr ...more

Another fast paced, action filled addition to this series, this story has one of the heroic, time travelling band members splitting up when danger threatens a loved one. Little did they realise this is just the start of encounters with a new foe, one in which ancient enmities are rekindled and even more dangers encountered.

Imagine falling in love with someone but then, when they leave, having no memory of them. Next imagine if you met them again, the attraction is as rampant and all consuming as ...more

First off, let me advise that you do not start in the middle of the series. It's not going to go well. I felt like I was missing a few key points that might have been cleared up in Thane's Redemption. I strongly encourage to read that first, before diving into Reid's Deliverance.

Since I didn't take my own advise, we have to press on. Overall, Reid wasn't bad other than missing a few key points that probably would have helped me with the storyline. I mean he's able to t ...more

okay, so even tho the book had elements I don't normally read (time travel and such) because they're just too outside my realm of possibility, I went ahead and gave the book a try. And I must say, not bad...the chemistry between our leads was pretty hot, the story-line was entertaining without being ridiculous (remember, this stuff is ridicucraycray for me so ...) and the action/suspense portion of the story kept me hooked.
So overall, I'd have to give it a high rec.

Book #2, Reid;s Deliverance is just as good as Thane's Redemption. I would recommend reading them in order because this story deals with time travel and some readers may get lost. Otherwise, this is a good and well paced story with a sexy somewhat detached hero. I like Reid and what he's about and there are sparks galore between him and Lauren. I had mixed feelings about Lauren who was a bit wishy washy and irked me more than once. That doesn't deter me from liking this different kind of paranor ...more

While I liked the first book in this 3-part series, I liked this one better. There were more emotional scenes and action...and yes, there were also a few more sex scenes, in which some could have been implied. (The language used when describing said sex scenes wasn't too crass, so...)
And the introduction of a very creepy, sadistic villain? Yes! I love attractive, bat shit villains. lol
Anyway, I loved Reid and Lauren's story. A few times, I wanted to strangle the both of them for being pig-heade ...more

Keyboardist Reid is actually a time traveling covert agent sworn to protect the innocent. He spends one memorable night with a woman looking to forget her troubles for awhile. With orders to help his fellow band mates/agents find out who and why operatives are dying, Reid doesn’t have time for a relationship with Lauren, not to mention she has trust issues, so he walks away and tries to forget her. When he defies orders and travels into the future alone to try and find answers, Reid is severely injured to the point where he barely has the strength to get himself to safety, which coincidentally lands him on Lauren’s doorstep.

Neither Reid nor Lauren remembers their night together but their attraction is undeniable and Lauren is drawn to Reid and helps him. As Reid’s memories begin to return, he has another choice to make: Go back to his solitary life or take a chance on Lauren?

It’s been awhile since I read the first book in the series and I really enjoyed it so it was no chore to read Reid’s Deliverance.

I really like the concept of time traveling covert agents masquerading as a rock band. It’s something I’ve never heard of before and author Nina Crespo has made this book just as interesting and engaging as the first! Reid and the other members of the rock band Thane’s Redemption travel through time in order to stop a very powerful enemy and while it has its benefits, these are single men who are eventually going to want to share their lives with some very special women and having a relationship with their lifestyle comes with its own set of complications.

The story hits the ground running and doesn’t let up until the very end, with twists, turns and surprises along the way. The pace might be a tad too fast for some readers but for me it worked. I don’t like plots that drag on and on, especially if it’s a plot that involves a lot suspense and action.

Reid and Lauren had some amazing physical chemistry that was totally believable but it was their emotional relationship that took some convincing. Reid was a great guy; he was driven to do the right thing even when he didn’t have his memories. I loved how protective he was of Lauren yet I didn’t get the sense that he was smothering her. He had a pretty calm personality which helped him survive intense situations and balanced out Lauren’s more high strung one.

Lauren took some convincing. She had trust issues and I didn’t blame her for that but she didn’t seem to be able to make up her mind about Reid. One minute she didn’t want to be with any man who was ex-military because of the issues she had with her father yet she was ready to throw caution to the wind with Reid. It was back and forth with her for a bit and I found it a bit tiresome. I did like the fact that she handled Reid’s time traveling revelation better than I thought. It takes a strong woman to be able to handle that aspect of their lover’s life. It’s a pretty unexpected revelation.

While Reid’s Deliverance is part of a series, it can be read as a standalone. I can’t quite put my finger on what it is but there’s a difference in writing style between this one and the first book. The best thing about this book is that unlike the first, it doesn’t end in a cliffhanger.

Final Verdict: Nina Crespo did a great job first of all with the concept of this series, it’s so unique that it stands out among the thousands of other time traveling romances. Reid’s Deliverance had a few bumps along the way but overall it was a good way to spend some time. I can’t wait for the next book. ...more

As the sexy keyboardist of Thane's Redemption, Reid Montgomery is like an aphrodisiac to women. But it's Lauren Blake he can't stop thinking about after spending a life changing night in her bed. Like the rest of his bandmates, Reid is a time-traveling covert agent, and while life is definitely interesting, an unfortunate pitfall of the job is that nobody will remember anything about him after he "phases" from their time period. After a fellow agent makes what seems like a hasty decision, Reid is left in charge and trying to figure out the clusterfuck that happened 2 years in the future.

When a strange man shows up on her doorstep with no idea who he is, Lauren knows she should feel some sort of apprehension, but all she feels is the strongest sense of deja vu. Reid can't remember a thing about his life before Lauren found him, but their connection is undeniable. When they both realize the truth behind Reid's sudden appearance, the decisions they make will change both their lives forever.

I'm not typically one for any sort of paranormal read, but I really enjoyed the different vibe of REID'S DELIVERANCE. Reid was an interesting character, he goes through his life not connecting on a deep level with anyone because their memories of him are wiped when he phases, but whatever it is about Lauren has him lamenting what might have been. Lauren has no clue Reid even exists, but even she can't deny the sparks between them when they reconnect at her cabin. She's understanding and sweet but with a fierce side that makes you want to be BFF's with her. The two had great chemistry and you couldn't help but root for them to make it through the insanity and emerge stronger. I did love the ending too, it was sweet and sexy and unique. The mystery/danger element was well done and left a nice setup for the next book in the The Song Series.

Bottom Line: Sweet, hot and all around different. REID'S DELIVERANCE absolutely delivered! - See more at: http://erotic.theromancereviews.com/v...

"When operatives involved in a mysterious project begin dying, Reid defies orders and travels alone into the future to find the cause. But when things go dangerously awry, it takes all of his strength to get himself back to safety--and directly onto Lauren's doorstep.

But as Reid's memories reignite, will he be forced to sacrifice everything to finish his mission--including the woman he loves?"

Though I'm sure Reid's Deliverance can be read as a stand-alone for many, it was not a good idea for me. I was confused after Reid phased and when he was talking about Dalir as the "ancient one" that could see the future. There were also allusions to past events that I couldn't quite get a handle on. That was until I looked on Goodreads and found a very comprehensive review of Thanes Redemption. Then everything came together and made sense. This made the read much more enjoyable. I liked how the characters were well developed and how Lauren's daddy issues caused real issues concerning how she felt about men in general. I liked how Reid never gives up, even when he initially lets his feelings of insecurity get the best of him.

I wasn't a fan of Lauren's wishy-washiness. I felt her ideas of what to look for in a man were unattainable and that she was prejudiced against someone that defends our country, even though I understood her reasons behind her actions. I thought she would have been more believable if she had a little more conflict about Reid instead of just going with her lustful feelings. I also felt like the ending was a bit rushed.
This book was a quick read and had a few steamy episodes and would be a good read for those that enjoy Paranormal/Contemporary Romance with a little Sci-Fi thrown in.

Reid's Deliverance is the second book in The Song series, although you don't have to have read book one for this to make sense.

Basically, the long and short of it is that a group of 'military' are able to time travel, spending their time sorting out problems and trying to prevent situations such as pandemics. They have the cover of being a band and are a close-knit unit. Of course, things never go according to plan, and their leader, Thane, makes the decision to stand down, go into the future a ...more

Lauren was going through a hard time with the loss of her estranged father when Reid comes back into her life.

This was an improvement from the previous book in the series. Though, I still feel it lacked sufficient development for both characters, having read the previous book I know a bit more that I did before.

This story line provided more interaction between hero (Reid) and heroine (Lauren); which allowed me the time to get to know them as a couple and see them fall in love. This was something that really lacked in the first book.
