"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 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."

Lisa T. Bergren has created yet another compelling story! This sequel to Waterfall is as intriguing, action-packed and romantic as the first! The return of our heroines, Gabriella and Evangelia, is grandiose. This time, we're introduced to Mrs. Betarrini, the only-spoken about mother of the two girls. The three are whisked back several hundred years only to find three months has passed since the leave of Gabi and Lia. Reunited with Castello Forelli and their Lords, Gabi and Lia once again find themselves in the midst of a battle. The return of their grave enemy, Lord Paratore, will haunt them. This second installment boasts more battles, more dangers and more mystery than the former book.

I can not compare either Waterfall or Cascade. Both kept me riveted and sitting on the edge of my seat. The character's depth was as rich and incredulous as before, the story as compelling, the plot as intriguing, and the action as intense. I highly, highly recommend these books! They have quickly made their way up to almost my #1 favorite series! I loved them so much, that I am, in fact, going tomorrow to pick up from the bookstore the recently released third book in the series, Torrent.

I highly recommend these books to lovers of historical-fantasy-time-traveling lovers aged 14 and up.
