About this listen

Soul mates across time. A sacrifice that could keep them apart forever.

In present day, near the village of Ornes, France, Devon works on his master's thesis in history as he fantasizes about meeting a WWI American Doughboy.

In 1917, during the Battle of Ornes, Stanley is a young soldier facing the horrors of the battlefield.

Mourning the death of his friends from enemy fire, Stanley volunteers to bring the message for retreat so he can save everyone else in his battalion. While on his mission, mustard gas surrounds Stanley, and though he thinks he is dying, he finds himself in a peaceful green meadow where he literally trips over Devon.

Devon doesn't believe Stanley is who he says he is, a soldier from WWI. But a powerful attraction grows between them, and if Stanley is truly a visitor from the past, then he is Devon's dream come true. The problem is, Stanley's soul wants to finish his mission, and time keeps yanking him back to relive his fateful last morning over and over, even as his heart and body long to stay with Devon.

Will Stanley have to choose between Devon and saving his battalion? Will time betray their love, leaving each alone?

A male/male time-travel romance, complete with hurt/comfort, French coffee, warm blankets, fireplace kisses, the angst of separation, and true love across time.

In Jackie North’s Love Across Time series, true love is stronger than the temporal sphere, and lovers who are destined to be together are displaced from their own time to be united with their soulmates. In HEROES FOR GHOSTS, Stanley, a young American ‘doughboy’ fighting on the battlefield in World War I France, is transported to the present-day to meet Devon, an American graduate student working on his dissertation on the effect of weather on battle outcomes. Almost obsessed with the idea of the American doughboy, it’s as if Devon has conjured his ideal to come directly from the past, to love him. This is a beautiful story, and I loved how Stanley and Devon’s relationship has a ‘fated mates’ element to it. Stanley’s inexperience and vulnerability are touching, and Devon’s tender care of him equally so; it’s impossible to avoid becoming invested in their love, and the compelling nature of Stanley’s dilemma results in moments of uncertainty that keep the reader on tenterhooks until the satisfying resolution that is a guarantee in a Jackie North story. The narration by Greg Boudreaux is nothing short of amazing, and amplifies the emotions evoked by the text. I loved it, completely!

I loved loved loved this book. It It's something a bit different from usual. The time travel spin gives it a bit of a different pov. And thought the outcome may be predictable, it's just what it takes to make this story as sweet as it could be.
I wouldn't mind a follow up book, or even a novella, to catch up with how Stanley is doing in his today's life.
It's very emotional following Stanley's stumbling into the present and then being dragged back into the war multiple times and seeing the love grow between him and Devon.
Loved Greg Boudreaux's narration, he was simply perfect for this book.

The sweetest time travel.

This was truly a beautiful story. Stanley was such a strong, compassionate young man. I can't even image what was going through his mind during such a trying time. The way he didn't immediate breakdown was truly commendable. Devon on the other hand, was such a nerd. I loved that about him. I wasn't your typical heartthrob MC. He was just a regular guy that found hisself in a weird situation. I truly loved the story telling of this book. I'm not sure if all the history is correct, but it does make me want to learn more about it. Greg's voice for this characters was spot on. He was able to pull me in and feel connected to them.

Beautiful Story

This book is really different to may of the books in the genre and captured my interest from the first page to the last. The characters are beautifully drawn and the war time action is very poignant. Fantastical and fantastic.

LOVED IT!

I loved this audiobook, and I would give it more than 5 stars if I could! The characters of Devon and Stanley are from different times, but they are both so alone I couldn't help but want to see them end up together. The story was beautiful, poignant, and even a little suspenseful waiting to see what would happen and if Stanley would come back. The story was interesting and kept me listening all the way through in one sitting because I wanted to know what would happen next and how it would end. I will listen to this one again!


The narration by Greg Boudreaux was spectacular. His pacing was perfect and his voicing of the emotions and drama were fantastic. There were moments he almost had me in tears.


I received a free copy of this audiobook and am voluntarily leaving this honest review.
