I loved this story about Clementine, a frazzled publicist, who is grieving her Aunt Analea's death. Analea left her unique apartment to Clementine - the apartment has a secret. It also has 2 rules, 1. remove your shoes, 2. don't fall in love in the apartment. After an evening out with her friends, Clementine heads to the apartment to find a young man, Iwan, there. He says her aunt allowed him to sublet it. Clementine knows her aunt died 6 mos. earlier, then she realizes that it is actually 7 years earlier! She and Iwan almost instantly mesh, he calls her Lemon. They tell each other about themselves and fall in love. But, when she leaves the apt., Iwan is gone when she returns. In the present day, they meet again. He is now the famous chef, James Ashton, and has changed dramatically. Are they able to make it work when they live in the same time? Love, grief, and being true to oneself-are all in this beautiful story.… (altro)

English professor and romance novel aficionado suffers a devastating loss and suddenly finds herself in a town that seems like it could be straight out of her favorite romance series. It turns out this IS the town in her favorite romance series, complete with the couples she's read and shipped. Except this one annoying guy with the striking eyes; the one who knows she doesn't belong there.

If you like paranormal romance, or paranormal-adjacent romance, this is one to pick up this summer. I like how there is so much more to this than just romance, including Eileen's awesome relationship with Pru and her grief over the loss she recently experienced.… (altro)

Clementine has inherited her beloved aunt’s NYC apartment, and as she unpacks her boxes and tries to figure out how to come to terms with her grief, she soon finds herself also trying to remember – and life by – the two rules her aunt set down for her about the apartment (which, by the way, if magical): 1) Always take your shoes off, and 2) Never fall in love with whomever you may find when you walk in the door. It only takes a few days before Clementine needs to put Rule #2 into practice, when she comes home to find a strange man in her apartment and quickly realizes that the magic has happened to her: the apartment transported her back in time 7 years. Can she keep herself from falling in love with a man she knows she’ll lose again very soon, and if he loves her, then why hasn’t he tried to find her in the present? And would he be the same person?

A sweet little romance with a neat premise. No real depths here, but the story is fun and decently written. If you like this sort of thing, you’ll like this.… (altro)
