About the book:
One case haunts him. One chance to fix the past. One mistake could cost him everything.
Ex-Minneapolis Police Detective Rembrandt Stone walked away from a career he loved—just the price of being sure he can come home to the wife and daughter he cherishes. But he can’t shake the deep regret over a case left behind.
When his mentor, the former Chief of Homicide dies and leaves Rembrandt with a box of cold cases and a mysterious watch, he finds himself thrust into a world he recognizes—a world from twenty years ago—the same world he’s woken from in a cold sweat a hundred times. But is it a dream, or some kind of twisted reality?
If he solves the case that plagues him, and justice is finally served, will it destroy the life he loves?
Strap in for a mind-bending, time travel thrill ride in Book One of this riveting new series, The True Lies of Rembrandt Stone.

My review:
I absolutely love Susan Mary Warren and James Rubart so I was incredibly excited to see them partnering on a book and it did not disappoint! This book drew me in right away as I got a feel for the characters and what made them tick. Rembrandt had a lot of regrets, some personal, some work-related, especially about cases he was never able to solve. It was fascinating seeing how he dealt with being thrown back in time (or was it a dream) trying to solve a case where he can't really remember all of the details he needed to in order to stop a series of horrific crimes. He's also just meeting the love of his life and trying desperately not to screw up their relationship or the promise of one, like he felt he did for too many years. He wanted to be a better man than he had been and I really admired that. I felt bad for him and the pain he'd gone through, some of his own choosing. I did like him but I really liked Eve, her toughness and intelligence and that she worked on crime scenes. I loved that both of their perspectives were given. This was a mix of police procedural, time travel paradox and romance and it was done incredibly well. There wasn't much about faith in it, just a prayer here and there and it seemed like it was more of a tradition to them. There was one swear word but otherwise a clean read. The ending will make your jaw drop. I absolutely can't wait for the next one!
I received a free kindle copy of this book from JustRead Tours. I was not compensated for my review. All opinions are my own.
