Review: Romantic Times Book Club

It began when Cass Thomson received an invitation to her high school class reunion. Living on the outskirts of London, she is trying to turn a drafty, old mansion into a success as a museum. Thoughts of the reunion and her long-ago love with Gideon Harker leaves Cass daydreaming of times past. Will he be the man she remembers, or has she created a fantasy, the likes of which the real Gideon could never measure up to?

Anyone who's ever wondered about lost loves will appreciate Cass's angst. The class reunion scene is filled with comical thirtysomethings who fail to realize that receding hairlines and increased girths are just a few of the elements preventing them from being teenagers. But it is the tender moments that set this read apart, especially when Cass must take a serious look at her romance with Gideon, as well as her lingering feelings of parental abandonment

What readers thought

“Time After Time is a dream - very, very funny, warm, emotional, with a drop-dead gorgeous hero, a feisty heroine, and a page-turning storyline. It's beautifully crafted, superbly written and absolutely REAL. It's total reading heaven.”

“I left school in '81 so the song titles seemed to bring allsorts of memories.  Found myself laughing out loud on occasions, a good sign of a good book.”

“I took Time After Time on holiday with me and it was lovely. I really, really enjoyed it, thanks for a terrific read. I think I got through it in about two days and loved your hero deeply by  the time I'd finished.”

“Your book left me feeling excited and totally uplifted.”

 “I want to thank you for your wonderful book.  It brought back memories and made me smile.”

 “Something in that novel  changed my life… I have never been so moved or touched by a book. I think I seriously fell in love with Gideon Harker… ever since I read the last word, I can’t stop thinking about him or the book.”

“I want witty, smart, intelligent writing that reminds me of what it's like to fall in love...and that's what "Time After Time" did for me. Gideon Harker makes me absolutely smile. I read your book, and turned around and re-read it. Your strong character development made me truly interested in Catherine and Gideon, and I loved the little twists in the plot.”

Just wanted to drop you a note telling you how much I enjoyed reading 'Time After Time'! It brought back SO many wonderful memories from my high school days, things that I'd forgotten about completely (the music, the clothing, the beautiful New Romantic boys!) I simply ADORED this book and eagerly devoured every chapter.”

 “I really loved the book  and just wanted to let you know it made me look at life differently and  when I'm having a bad day I read about Gideon and Cass's love and it  gives me a little hope and something to smile about.”
