Time Between Us Books in Order

The Time Between Us series is a YA time-travel romance built around one impossible question: what do you do when the right person lives in the wrong time?

Anna Greene is a runner and dreamer living in Evanston, Illinois, in 1995. Bennett Cooper is from 2012 San Francisco, and he can travel through time and space. When Bennett lands in Anna's world while trying to deal with a family problem, the two of them are pulled together almost immediately. Anna has always wanted to see more of the world. Bennett can literally take her there. That mix of ordinary teen life and something much stranger gives the series its hook.

They were never supposed to meet.

In Time Between Us, the story is told from Anna's point of view, so the time travel arrives with the same mix of curiosity, disbelief, and excitement she feels. Bennett's ability opens doors to travel and adventure, but it also comes with rules, risks, and the constant threat that he could be yanked back to where he belongs. The setting matters here. Anna's 1995 life is rooted in school, family, friendships, and a hometown that suddenly feels too small, while Bennett brings in a wider, more unstable sense of possibility. The romance is the center, but the tension comes from time itself refusing to cooperate.

There is also a bigger thread running underneath the love story. Bennett is not just using his gift for cute dates and dramatic entrances. His family history, especially the search tied to his sister Brooke, makes time travel personal, messy, and morally complicated. Once Anna and Bennett start asking whether they can change outcomes, save people, or bend the rules for the right reason, the series becomes about consequence as much as chemistry.

Time After Time shifts into Bennett's point of view and deepens that idea. By then Anna and Bennett have already fallen hard for each other, but loving across seventeen years is not something either of them can solve with willpower alone. Bennett can only spend short stretches in Anna's world before his ability pulls him back, and the strain starts to show. He begins making choices that force him to weigh love, fate, and the cost of interfering with tragedy. The tone stays romantic, but the pressure gets sharper.

If you like your fantasy more emotional than technical, this is that kind of series. The books lean into first love, longing, travel, family ties, and the ache of wanting to hold on to something that may not fit inside the rules of the world. Time and Time Again collects Time Between Us and Time After Time in one volume, so readers can follow Anna and Bennett's full story straight through.
