I always enjoy a good love story and I loved this couple, Eden and Beck. I especially loved reading about how their relationship evolved and how they realized they were in love with each other. It was all very sweet, but I felt some of it was repetitive. Statements of how they felt about each other were repeated so much, it got to be a little much.

Also, I was expecting more drama based on the synopsis. I felt like something was missing. Aside from one small, insignificant arguement, not a lot happened. Parts of the story line weren't as developed as well as I would have liked. Without giving anything away, I would have liked to have had more of the backstory about Eden and her sister Holly, because it really didn't seem like much of obstacle to overcome. Also, I would have liked to have read more about how Beck handled his inheritance from his step father.

Finally, I loved the setting of Washington DC and the descriptions of the city. Thank you to NetGalley for the ARC of this book and the opportunity to read a new author.

The Time of Your Life written by Sandra Kitt. This was my first book by Ms Kitt and it was a good one. Beck and Eden meet at a celebration of life for someone that they have in common. The book then cuts back to tell of their connection to Everett and they grow closer as they discover commonalities. I love the way they work through their own issues to find their way to each other. I got my HEA!

Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for an ARC of this book.

I liked the heroine in the book --- she was mature, driven and smart, which is normally my cup of tea. However, this book was just too slow moving. The dialog felt stilted; the sister felt very one-dimensional. Overall, this book, while well written, just wasn't for me.

This is a well written Contemporary romance about Eden and Beck. This was my first time reading about a law student and a journalist who fall in love, the trope was not new but it was still an enjoyable read. It was also my first time reading from this author. Overall, it was a good read and I'd recommend.

Thank you Netgalley for this ARC in exchange for an honest review!

When Everett Nicholls dies, he leaves his millions to the two people he cared about most—the young law student he was mentoring, and his beloved stepson. Eden Marsh and Beck Dennison are instantly suspicious of each other. Suddenly, with all this money at their fingertips, family problems they've each been ignoring can no longer be swept under the rug. Beck and his mother have had a strained relationship since tragedy befell the family when he was a young teen, and Eden knows it's long past time to forge a new relationship with her demanding younger sister. As they begin to confide in each other—and to have fun together—their friendship is an anchor in a stormy new life...

I admit this book was a little slow going for me.. I think I assumed that there would be a little more drama than what was actually going to be offered. Eden and Beck make a cute couple, but I was hoping for more. BUT if you like you couples to be relatively mature and put together and have a handful of flaws than this is your wheelhouse!

Loved this book! Beck and Eden, together in mutual loss and love. A small amount of angst and drama, but maturely done. Find their way to companionship, love and respect. A well done romance and HEA. Do not miss this one.

This was a perfectly fine read. I am struggling reading contemporary romance these days. Maybe it's because I've read so much of it and I'm burned out, so this is most likely me rather than anything to do with the writing/stories. At my job, they recently went to a 3 point scale - so basically you suck at your job, you show up to work, or you walk on water. Along those lines, this one showed up for work for me.

Unfortunately, it was not the book for me. None of the characters, dialogue or plot lines packed a punch to hold my attention. Way too boring and felt like it dragged the whole time.

I enjoyed this book. This was the first one I have read by Sandra Kitt. I loved the romance feel to it. I'm grateful that netgalley and the publishers let me read this in exchange for an honest review

I'm not drawn into this story and I'm sorry, I won't be finishing it. The characters' speech is stilted, they're not compelling, lots of generic dialogue. It's not for me.

Eden and Beck meet at a memorial service for Everett. Everett was Eden's mentor and Beck's stepfather. They have never met before but are instantly aware of each other. Eden is a driven law student and Beck is a journalist. They find out they will both inherit something from Everett. The story does have some complications for the two. True love never does run smooth! This is an enjoyable romance. Romance fans will enjoy this book.

Read 48% of the way into this book but couldn’t get into the story. It was written well just not my cup of tea.

An entertaining fairy tale romance. Enjoyed reading how two people's lives were unexpectedly changed for the better both because of their inheritance and the fact that they met. The setting is great and the author does a nice job letting you see various aspects of Washington DC. This is a feel good book with a slow build romance that is an easy, relaxing read.

I was happily surprised by this book. Both Eden and Beck inherit millions of dollars. That in itself is life changing However, they are both grieving, and dealing with personal issues. It’s would be a meet cute if not for the fact they met at a memorial service. It’s a progressive relationship that really has nothing to do with the money. The inherited money really only points out their individual characters. It was a feel good book I thought. voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced free copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own. I received a copy from the publisher through NetGalley.

The story was enjoyable and I found myself rooting for the couple. The male main character was the most likable. The female main character seemed strong except when it came to her sister, and then she became a wet noodle. That was annoying and seemed out of character, especially for a person who had the balls to confront her boyfriend’s ex-girlfriend.
Her sister was the most unlikeable and immature adult character…..I even liked the selfish ex-girlfriend better than the sister.
There was just the right amount of angst, steam, and conflict.

I also appreciated that there weren’t many typos or spelling errors. Only a couple, such as, “I’m known since the day of the memorial for Everett.” and “I’ve been thinking it about it a lot, Beck.”

I was glad to see a new novel by Sandra Kitt. She always does a great job of mixing romance with real-life issues. This was no exception. The story of Eden and Beck was an enjoyable read. I would receommend this book. I look forward to more from Ms. Kitt.

Sandra Kitt…can’t say that I’ve read anything by this author, however, suffice to say this won’t be my last time doing so. “The Time of Your Life” by this new author to this reader was just a wonderful romance that I truly enjoyed. The book cover captured my attention Eden Marsh’s life is drastically changed when her mentor leaves her millions. She has some life-changing choices that includes potential loves, family, and ex. Then there is Beck Dennison, the mentor’s stepson who has been left millions too. Both are suspicious of one another but find themselves drawn together. This story was a slow-burn romance with a bit of humor. Loved the setting of Washington D.C. as I could picture the city through the eyes of the characters. This was a feel-good story and very good read! Look forward to more from this author and recommend the read.

Have you ever wondered what a story of a determined, driven law student falling in love with a kind-hearted journalist who met at the wake? Sandra Kitt's novel, 'The time of your life,' is the love story between Eden and Beck. Eden Marsh, a 3rd-year law student determined to help others at the detriment of herself, and Beck Dennison, a pensive journalist who has always felt unwanted. They meet at the wake of the late Everett Nicholls, suspicious of one another after discovering they have been left millions. It is a beautiful love story of two people who are faced with unfortunate circumstances and bet all odds against them.

Normally, a book written in this format leads me to not enjoy it as much, but this story was too good to stop. Have you ever read a book that generally changed your brain chemistry, well to some degree this book has? While there are a few moments I wish weren't in there, mainly the bathroom scene with Alia. (Fully understand, personal preference.) Besides that, I generally enjoyed this book. Beck is a new book boyfriend, he's perfect in every way.

-No cheating or ow/om
-Content warning for those who have lost a loved one, abusive behaviour, and growing up as a POC.

Definitely an amazing read!

The Time of Your Life is a romance novel with a perfect meet-cute. Beck and Eden meet at a funeral (not the happiest setting for new love to bloom.) They quickly become important to each other and romance ensues. Things aren't always rosy, but if their love is true, they can overcome any obstacles and find happiness together.
I really enjoyed how the characters met in this novel. It was clear that they were meant to be. I also liked how they helped each other to mend familial relationships. The only thing that I wasn't a huge fan of was the fight that the lovers got into near the end. I know there has to be some conflict before the happily ever after, but this one just felt kind of shoved in. Other than that, it was an enjoyable read with steamy romance.

The Time of Your Life
By Sandra Kitt
A review by Jamilla @LandsAwayBooks

This was not my first Sandra Kitt rodeo, but it’s been a while since I’ve read one of her stories.

And what a story it was!

It starts a bit sad, Eden and Beck have a bit of a meet cute at the memorial service of someone dear to them both, Beck’s stepfather and Eden’s mentor, a man who changed the trajectory of their lives both before and after his death.

Eden and Beck share a moment of deep human connection (and also attraction) that leaves them each feeling a spark. Though to each other their meeting was mere happenstance, never to occur again, fate had a different plan for them.

Of the course of this book, we see their love story unfold, but we also get to see them come to terms and mend bridges with the people in their life and become more whole persons.

This was such a beautiful and warm story!

I’m definitely in the mood to hit up Kitt’s backlog now!

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read an eARC this book in exchange for an honest review!
