"In another life, she was my forever." An unexpected tragedy leaves Professor Nathaniel Hunt a widower alone with a newborn baby. He hires a nanny. She's young, but well-qualified, with a simple life, a crazy name obsession, and a boyfriend she met at the grocery store. Over time, he discovers she knows things about him-things that happened before she was born-like a hidden scar on his head, his favorite pizza, and how he cheated on a high school Spanish test. She speaks familiar words and shares haunting memories that take him back to over two decades earlier when he lost his best friend in a tragic accident. "I'm afraid of what's going to happen when you realize I'm not her." Transcend is a sexy, mind-bending journey that uncovers possibilities, challenges beliefs, and begets the age-old question: is there life after death?

Holy wow, this was a compelling page-turner for me. This puts a different twist on an interesting topic - reincarnation - and throws in a semi-love triangle just to further mess with your emotions. :) 

Swayze has the ultimate best.guy.ever with her boyfriend Griffin. He cares about her as a person, he's there for her always, and he's hot as hell to boot. Plus his family loves her like their own. It's really pretty perfect. And then she takes a job as a nanny for a single dad (Nate) and complications ensue when she realizes she knows knows this dad but she doesn't know how she knows him. Over time, Nate and Swayze come to believe that she has a piece of Nate's childhood friend and first love, Morgan, reincarnated in her. And so begins the semi-love triangle as Swayze struggles to figure out if this means she is meant to be with Nate even though she loves Griffin. As for Griffin, he struggles with watching the person he loves go deeper and deeper into this past life as she spends her days in Nate's house taking care of Nate's daughter. There is so much emotional angst between the 3 of them as they all struggle to figure it all out. 

This book does end on a major cliff hanger, which is normally a pet peeve of mine, but the story is so good (and I picked up the second book right after via KU) that I would highly recommend it anyway.

EEEK! Crazy, explosive ending! This was so good! Definitely went places I was NOT expecting but I am here. for. it. 

I love how twisty and wild this book is. It totally had me questioning what I wanted and what I felt the characters deserve. And the feels! All the feels! Definitely one to give you an emotional roller coaster ride.

I need the next book right now!
