Unable to trust her coworkers or her surroundings, however, Emily finds herself alone - with her very survival in the hands of a handsome stranger, Wendell Beringer. Unfortunately, Emily soon discovers that he has a few secrets of his own.
Can she trust this man or the feelings she develops for him? Only time will tell.
Follow Emily's unexpected journey, where journal entries to her deceased aunt and the powerful secrets they contain, become her only link to the life she once knew and the future she must choose to follow.

Time Travel Romance
Dear Maude by Denise Liebig is book one in The Dear Maude Trilogy that I listened to on audio narrated by Daniela Acitelli. This is the first book by Denise that I have read/listened to and it definitely won’t be my last. I was not really into the start of the book but I was glad I pushed through because it got better after the initial ground work was laid on how Emily ended up time traveling and falling in love. This was a great twist on a Time Travel Romance. Daniela did a good job narrating. I did find the reading a bit slow so I did listen at 1.25 – 1.5 speed and it was still easy to keep up with the storyline. I feel the book ended in a way that it could stand as standalone. But I am looking forward to reading book two For The Love Of Maude to get the next chapters of Emily and Dell’s love story. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys Time Travel Romances.

Brilliant
I absolutely enjoyed this book very much. I felt like I was a part of it. I didn't want the story to end! There were a few pieces that I felt got rushed over and not explained fully, but not that many. I can't wait to read the rest of the trilogy!!!!!

Dear Maude
As this story starts out I find myself wondering if its ever going to get to the time travel part. Only to realize the author has decided to tell us a beautiful story that is not rushed, but one to sit back relax and enjoy. I will say I did end up feeling the end was a bit rushed. I felt as though things could have been handled differently knowing time was on their side.
Emily has to be the most trusting person to go into every stage of this blind. I'm not sure even I would have this kind of faith in something so secretive. Although like Emily I wanted to see the good in these people until they showed their true colors. And its like no one in this story is who they appear to be. It gets to the point you wonder who belongs in the past and who is from the future pretending. Fantastic over all story I can not wait for the rest of the series to come out on audio! Daniela Acitelli does a beautiful job bringing this story to life. Thanks Audiobook Obsession for the recommendation.

Couldn’t take the headphones off!
I loved this book 1, it is written with such imagination and right to the end I’m not totally sure who to trust! I can’t wait for book 2!!!
I thought Daniela Acitelli’s narration was spot on, her characterisation perfect for this book.
All in all it had me hooked, got me liking and disliking characters and very thought provoking, can’t wait to see if I’m right (although I do keep changing my mind 🤣)
Great book! An easy recommendation from me.

FEEDBACK
I found this story to be so intriguing. At first I was a little confused about everything that was going on because I wasn’t expecting so much of Emily’s life before her time with Evergreen. However, as the story goes on the significance of why the beginning happened is important. I really liked the mixture of traditional story telling with the “Dear Maude” journal entries. This gave the book a little more personality to it, which was very successful. I’m glad that the journal entries weren’t extremely long either as it was a repeat of what we just read. It could have completely ruined the pacing of the book but Liebig crafted it in the perfect way. One of the thing with time travel books is that as much as I try to predict the plot, I am always surprised. It usually doesn’t go the way I expect it to because there are so many variable. Dear Maude was no different. There were some parts that were predictable but then others that I would have never guessed. Throughout the entire novel, I was anticipating on what would happen next.
Emily’s character was a great one to follow. I loved the quips she used when responding to some of the other characters – even if they were just in her head. Her personality was an easy one to attach to and it really made it easier to root for her to escape the clutches of Evergreen Research. Each of the supporting characters fit perfectly within this plot and world. I was a little surprised that it didn’t have more of a 1910 feel to some of the characters but it’s okay.
FINAL THOUGHTS
Overall, Dear Maude by Denise Liebig was an enjoyable read. I really enjoyed the flow and set up of the book. The journal entries with the traditional novel setting was perfect for this story. It brought just enough of a personal touch without creating a boring pace because of repeating the previous events. I also enjoyed the way the story went. With time traveling stories it’s hard to predict what will happen next and this book kept me on my toes. Emily was a great main character to follow and I really enjoyed reading about her. I definitely want to continue this story to see where it leads. I highly recommend this story if you are looking for an easy read about time travel with a hint of romance.
AUDIO REVIEW
NOTE: The narration does not affect my rating of the book
I absolutely loved this narration. Daniela Acitelli did a fantastic job brining this story to life. Her inflections were perfect and the intensity she gave to certain scenes were spot on. I mentioned in my review that the book was missing some 1910 feel to it which could really be felt in the narration. However, I highly enjoyed this is audio format and would suggest it!

Intriguing idea, great narration
This is the first time I have listened to Daniela Acitelli, it was easy to tell which character was which throughout the book.
I loved the idea of this story and didn't see where it was going at all and I thoroughly enjoyed it. So intriguing. Several spots where I just went 'huh'. I loved the way all the bits connected up through various means throughout the story. Some of the links I saw and some I didn't. Where it was left just leaves it open for the next book...

Time travel
The beginning of this book is more about Emily and her life getting up to the point where she is blindly recruited for time travel. The story keeps you on your toes as to what will happen next, and I liked that. The narrative was excellent and it kept me interested in the story.
