It's Different This Time by Joss Richard

 


It's Different This Time is a second chance romance that will have you wanting to be a Broadway star while falling in love with an amazing chef.  June and Adam randomly meet at a book store and end up renting a brown stone together in New York City.  Both of them have huge plans in store for their future.  June wants to be a famous actress and Adam wants to become a chef with his own restaurant.  The two of them are extremely attracted to each other but somehow their relationship never actually takes the next step.  June eventually moves to LA and Adam moves out of the brownstone.  Fast-forward several years and they find out that they have inherited the brownstone.  Now June must figure out what she is going to do and if things were really meant to be with Adam. 


The book alternated between the present and the past.  I really enjoyed June and Adam's romance in the past.  These two characters were great to read about and I really enjoyed their story.  My only complaint was that I was a little frustrated with the present timeline because I felt like it took forever to get to what happened to separate them in the past.  Overall, I really did enjoy this romance.  This was a debut novel and I look forward to reading more by this author.  If you like romance novels this is a good one! 4/5 Stars
