Unfortunately, this book was not for me. I struggled to get into it, and there wasn't enough character development for me.

I really wanted to like this one more than I did because the cover is absolutely stunning! But I found myself gaining and losing interest throughout the book. There were aspects of the main characters that I found endearing but again, this one just didn’t keep my interest as I’d hoped.

However, I do think it’s a solid book which is why I gave it three stars, but it’s possible that I wasn’t the right audience for it.

This book really got me going but it did take a few chapters in before I got super invested in the story

When Everett Nicholls died, he left everything to his law school student mentee, Eden Marsh, and his stepson, Beck Dennison. Eden and Beck meet at his memorial service and become friends. When they both discover that they have inherited his estate, issues arise in their budding friendship and relationships with the people around them. It's an interesting story detailing how they deal with their problems. It's not the most riveting story, but it is relatable as it deals with issues anyone might face.

I really enjoyed this book. It was my first Sandra Kitt novel but it most certainly will not be my last. I enjoyed the way that the book captures you from the first chapter. Eden is a lovely character, she is a 3rd year law student who is faced with some choices that can change her life. The way the book is described is almost fairytale like. Thank you to netgalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read this!

This is a romance story based on a relationship that is building slowly. This story shows you family issued of the two main characters. It shows you how their relationship grows from the very first time they see and are attracted to each other, to the point where feelings are there. One of the main things I liked about this book was that them falling for each other was realistic and not no love at first sight mumbo jumbo.

I did struggle a little bit with the fact this book is very serious. I like serious books but I like them to also have a little be of levity, be lighthearted. This story was still very good and I will definitely recommend this book.

Thank you Netgalley and Sourcebooks Casablanca for giving me an advanced copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

(ARC from NetGalley) Once again I ended up grabbing a sequel on accident. Eden is a 3rd year law student and she falls in love with a journalist named Beck. Both Eden and Beck have been left a fortune by their mentors and get to experience lifestyle changes side by side. Cute premise, but I was bored. Nothing really happens plot-wise.

This was a fabulous book. It was enjoyable and had wonderful pacing. I would read this author again. I would recommend this book to others.

Man meets woman. Attraction flares but of course there are complications and other people interfering.
It was a slow burn to build the relationship between Eden and Beck. At times I was tempted to skip,pages to see if it ever would happen.
Eventually they arrive, but it was t on the fast rain.
It’s a decent story of being sure, relationship angst, and all the rest.

I struggled to get into the story and didn't connect with the story or the characters. This is the first book I've read by this author. I will try another book by her. Just because I didn't care for it doesn't mean you won't, so grab a copy and see what you think!
Thank you Net-Galley for the copy!

This was one of those books that I had to really push through to finish because it was such a slow-burn. I mean slug in a turtle race slow so I didn’t enjoy it but I didn’t hate it either. I was really waiting for the characters to come to life and to read this amazing dialogue something to really pull me in. But the novel had no real excitement I mean we get zero drama not to say that would’ve made it any better. It was like watching a movie in black and white (dull) the premise seemed promising but the story dragged for so long I couldn’t wait for it to end.

The novel follows Eden Marsh and Beck Dennison after Everett Nicholls died, leaving his millions to the two they are instantly suspicious of each other. Now with such a large inheritance in the picture both must deal with some lingering family issues. As they begin to confide in each other and have fun together their friendship is an anchor in a stormy new life for the two.

Again this was a cute romance but I didn’t really feel connected with any of the characters they all lacked depth. Of them all I couldn’t stand Holly the most. I get the author was trying to build a connection or relationship with both main MC’s by including their family troubles etc but I could’ve done without the side characters.

Luckily, I didn’t have any real expectations for the book so I can’t say that I’m disappointed but this isn’t something I’d be interested in reading again. When the book first started I felt like after Everett’s funeral things would pick up but at no point at all did the pacing progress. So, do I recommend? I say read at your own will you might enjoy it. Special thanks to the author & @sourcebookscasa for my gifted copy!!!

The time of your life
By Sandra Kitt

This is book 2 of the millionaire club series. However, it can definitely be read as a standalone. If you’d like to read the first book, however the title is. WINNER TAKES

I thoroughly enjoyed the story and getting to know Eden Marsh and Beck Dennison.
Eden and Beck meet at the week of Everest Nicholls.
Eden is a third year law student. Everett really saw something in her so he became her mentor. He also funded her college degree. Beck is Everett stepson. Who is also held very fond to his heart. He’s saw such potential in both of Beck and Eden that he took them under his wing. They did not meet until the week of Everett Nicholls.

They had their suspicions of each other, especially when they were written into the will, and betrothed millions of dollars.

I was honored to be chosen by NetGalley to read and review this book, and this is my honest review

I finished reading this book at the 38% mark. I was simply unmoved to continue reading story with a premise I usually have success with - a mix of historical and present-day fiction depicting a Black celebrity - due to the novel's low levels intrigue and uninteresting examination of passing,

I really wanted to love this book, but something about it didn’t click for me. It wasn’t bad, but it just didn’t keep me engaged.

The two main characters in this novel were great and I loved how mature their relationship was throughout. As both highly successful individuals who then come into large sums of money, I was happy to see that neither of them lost themselves or their heads as they navigated this unexpected turn of events. Eden was so intelligent and cares deeply for those she lets into her life. She really did her best to honor Everett and I though that was really admirable about her. Beck was a great male lead and love interest. He really allowed Eden the space to continue to spread her wings and was a great supporter of her successes. The romance was pretty good and there were many scenes that brought a little spice to the novel. Unfortunately, at times, the novel seemed to drag a bit and towards the middle and there was quite a bit of repetitiveness in the dialogue and overall plot points in the story. The sister drama could have been left out and I think that would have made a big difference as it seemed really unnecessary to the story. The romance piece tied together nicely, but the other plot points really felt a bit unresolved in the end, which was disappointing. I think this novel really would have benefitted from an epilogue jumping a few years time so the author could have tied up some of those unresolved aspects and we could have seen their thriving relationship and professional endeavors.

Thank you Sourcebooks Casablanca for the gifted arc copy of this novel.

I'm sorry to say it, but this book just wasn't for me. It was honestly boring. Very little actually happened, and there wasn't much that held my interest.

I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are my own.

Eden & Bert!!!!

Wow!

This book was original and hooked me from page one! I loved and savored every page!

Storytelling at its Best! This book has it all! Character development was excellent!

I gave this book 4 stars! I could not turn the pages fast enough! If you have not read this story you’re missing out on a great book!

What a great read!

No spoilers with my review!

Well done!

My typical book tastes tend to be heavier subject matters. This was a pleasant change. I liked the character development and ultimately, the happy ending. There were some twists and turns getting there; but, love conquers all and they made it! It took me a while to get drawn into the story; but, I would attribute that to my preferred reading genres vs the book itself. Would definitely recommend to a reader that likes a lighter read with a bit of trauma/heartbreak thrown in.

The Time of Your Life by Sandra Kitt is a perfect read for anyone who loves a heartwarming and uplifting romance novel. The characters are well-developed and relatable, and the plot is realistic and encouraging.

This novel discussed themes which are important and often missing from traditional romance novels- aging, illness and so forth. And it addresses important themes like, self-discovery, and second chances. Ms. Kitt does an great job of engaging these themes in a thoughtful way.

The story of Eden and Bert is not one to be missed. It is truly a beautiful story and one that is meant to be savored and appreciated.

absolute 10 out of 10. i would recommend this book to anyone & i would buy it if i didn’t have the arc! 5 ⭐️
