About this listen
Weeks after her husband dies in the midst of an affair in 2016, Chicago writer Susan Peterson, 48, seeks solace on a California vacation with her mother Elizabeth and daughter Amanda. The novelist, however, finds more than she bargained for when she meets a professor who possesses the secret of time travel. Within days, the women travel to 1938 and Princeton, New Jersey. Elizabeth begins a friendship with her refugee parents and infant self, while Susan and Amanda fall for a widowed admiral and a German researcher with troubling ties. Filled with poignancy, heartbreak, and intrigue, Mercer Street gives new meaning to courage, sacrifice, and commitment as it follows three strong-willed souls on the adventure of a lifetime.

A great story full of history and every day life
Ignore the fact that this is book 2 in a series. This book is completely stand alone. I am sure the other books are just as good and I will read them when I get the chance but, this book is a complete story on its own.
Time travel is a great topic because it allows the reader/listener to compare two (or more) time periods and learn excellent life lessons from the character interactions. This book is no exception. A great story without dealing with the mechanics of the travel itself.
The narrator on the other hand I did not care for. His voice was fine but the style of reading was annoying. But it may not be the narrators fault. The issues I had may have been in the story that way. This story has to be king of the pregnant pause. Almost every sentence was read in a way... that I can not find the words to describe. I have encountered it in one other series of books, (The Ultimate Gift). In fact I even checked to see if it was the same narrator. (It wasn't.) In that series it seemed to fit the story better than this one. However, I can see where it may have been done on purpose here as well.
No matter the issues, this was a great story. One that was very difficult to put down almost from the start. Worth every penny to purchase and I plan to purchase more in the series.

Professor Bell and His Time Traveling
I got this ARC via audiobook boom. Professor Bell is at it again. I enjoyed how he proved to the three ladies that he and his wife had actually done some time traveling. Amanda and Elizabeth were my favorite and I was glad that the author threw in the father and son team to help readers know that they were still out there doing something. Susan and her skepticism was funny. I am glad that she was able to do something after losing her husband.

An Enjoyable Historical Fiction
Mercer Street was a nice, enjoyable listen. I especially loved the time travel aspect. This made the story fun and adventurous. The characters were great. I didn't listen to the first book in the series but I don't think it was necessary, although I would like to continue the series. The only down side was that it was a little long otherwise it was an excellent listen.
Chaz Allen's performance was outstanding. He had a nice voice and was easy to listen to. He portayed the characters well and kept a good pace.

Enjoying this series
I received the audio book code for this novel from the author in exchange for an honest review. Thank you!
I am really enjoying this series. Even though it is still the time travel historical romances the author is known for, he seems to be shaking things up a little by having the characters mess with the timeline a bit more than in other series.
The characters are well developed and highly believable. As always, there are those moments that make you break out the tissues. The story is very entertaining and I recommend it for all who look for this genre.

A nice visit to a time gone by.
What made the experience of listening to Mercer Street the most enjoyable?
When my kids were young they enjoyed "The Magic Treehouse" series. Mercer Street reminded me of those books, as in many ways, it is a grown-up version with the same premise. A small group - in this case, a mother, adult-daughter, and grandmother -- take advantage of an offer to travel back in time, have interesting adventures, and return to the present wiser and more ready to deal with their present lives. Mercer Street is a street in Princeton, NJ, where the grandmother had lived as a baby, so the trio chose to visit that area in 1938. I thoroughly enjoyed the immersion into those calm, oblivious days before the U.S. was even fully aware of what was happening in Europe, and it was interesting to see the women try to come to grips with their new acquaintances' lack of knowledge given their own understanding of the impending upheavals. Each of the women forges relationships with people in the past, knowing both the real-life dangers to come and the possible danger of altering the time-line. How they manage those relationships: the grandmother with her own family, the mother with a scholar and scientist whose work will be critical to the upcoming war effort, and the daughter with a young German who has grown up in the U.S., provide the intrigue and passion to a good historical read. But the intrigue and passion are not of the "keep you up all night reading/listening" variety. It is a good story, and I'm glad I experienced it. I received a copy of the audiobook from the author in exchange for an honest review, and I'm glad I got a chance to listen to it. Anyone who enjoys good historical fiction would enjoy Mercer Street.

Mercer Street
This was kind of 'Time Travel lite'.A mother,daughter and grandmother go back to an earlier time 'just to visit'.There is to be no meddeling w/time.Of course they can't resist and we never get to know how their doing this affects the long run.It is fun to think about the concept.I found either the writing or narration a bit weird.Chaz Allen has a pleasant,sing song voice that seems too pleasant even when trouble is afoot.“I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator, or publisher.”

Great Book with some time travel!!!
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
This is a great time travel book in the series..
John A. Heldt writes good books that also incorporate history, and this has both.
Chaz Allen is great at narration as well
What did you like best about this story?
I really enjoy time travel books, with the interesting twists to them.. This book provided more history for me in regards to the beginning of WWII and how it started.
Which scene was your favorite?
Without giving anything away, the hospital scene with Lizzy and Elizabeth
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
I didn't have an extreme reaction, but it did give me a bit of a history lesson.
Also, this book had really good strong female characters, and I liked that as well.
Any additional comments?
