This time around was an ok read for. I thought the book was rushed and way to fast paced. Katie left Chase behind and went to start her life. She broke his heart in the process. Katie returns to her hometown for a wedding for a friend who happens to be the cousin of Chase who refuses to have singles at her wedding so pairs people up. Well guess who got paired up together?!?! It just seems odd how after 10 years, yes it may be uncomfortable but the characters act like it’s been maybe a year or 2. Just thought the book moved way to fast before I had a chance to get into the book or root for the couple, it was done.

Katie is returning to her small hometown for a friend’s wedding. She hasn’t returned in years…and the last time she did, she spent most of the time working anyway. When the bride sets her up with a plus one for the big day, she is not sure how to feel when she learns it is her ex-boyfriend that she hasn’t spoken to since she broke his heart ten years ago.
Chase’s is less than thrilled when his cousin lets him know that she has volunteered him to be his ex-girlfriend’s plus one. He is finally over her. His life now revolves around raising his nephew. The feelings of resentment towards Katie are right there on the surface…but she is not the same girl he remembers from ten years ago.
As feelings begin getting involved, they are reminded that their time is limited because Katie must return home. But, when a family emergency arises, will Katie head back to work or will she finally put her own happiness first?!?
This was a quick and easy read. The story is fast paced, as the timeline for the story is really only a couple of days. You could feel the love that Katie and Chase shared as teenagers…and the agony and regret Katie feels over the way things ended. It was a story that pulled me in from the beginning. I finished it in one sitting.

This is the first book I’ve read by the author. This Time Around is a fast read and you will absolutely love it. The author sure knows how to capture the attention of the reader’s. I was sucked into the book and had a hard time putting it down.
Katie is going home for a friend’s wedding. When she gets there her friend demands that she has a plus one. Then an emergency happens and she decides that her job isn’t worth it. The quote I chose for Katie is: “That’s an interesting suggestion. I can start small at first, and expand later. I’d have to draft up a business plan and run numbers on the costs. Thanks, guys, you’ve been really helpful.”
Chase isn’t wanting to see his ex as he just got over her. Then she places herself back into his life. Can they make it this time? The quote I chose for Chase is: “How about you hand the pieces to me when I need them, except for those heavy ones?”

Pure, good vibes to be found within these pages. This little novel, with big feelings, goes to show that timing really is everything. You may find your person when you are young, and not ready for that reality, and you go off to live your life and dreams, only to be pulled back into the arms of that same person. There are so many scenarios in which this could be played out, and this author really did the best job at allowing for us to connect with both Katie and Chase, and root for them once all the cards were on the table.
Life really does have some crazy twists and turns, and some changes make us even better. A wonderful read, I admit I devoured it in a day, and had some laughs, cries, and held my breath at the beautiful story that was woven. If you’re looking for a quick read with lots of love, care, and beautiful memories, this is it!

I thoroughly enjoyed the story. Most of it occurs over the course of a few days. Jane does a very good job creating the characters although some of it was very repetitive. I feel like I know them. I’m very happy with the way the story is ended. We never forget our first loves and sometimes it’s our only love. By the end of story I believe everyone had been healed emotionally and were truly happy. It’s definitely a feel good romance.

Let me start out by saying that this is a precious book, and I whole heartedly enjoyed every moment of it. This book revolves around the romance of Katie and Chase, and their history together and getting a second chance. Katie had big dreams after high school, and left her small town, her friends and family, and the boy she loved to follow them in the big city, being too stubborn to ever look back. Now, she finds herself visiting her hometown for a wedding last minute, and the bride surprises her with her first love as her date. Chase fought hard to forget the pain he felt when Katie left, but as soon as he saw her, he knew his heart wasn’t as hardened to her as he had hoped. Katie thought she had buried her feelings for Chase at the bottom of her heart, but as soon as she saw him, she melted. This is the story of their lives crossing again after 10 years apart, and a love that lasts through the years. This wholesome and heartwarming book reminds us that there are second chances in life, with friends, family, and sometimes, even in romance.

I love the books by this author. The stories are always so beautifully written and the characters and their story always captivate me. And this books was exactly the same.
This books is a story about second chance love and all the challenges that come with it.
Kate is our leading lady. She is a strong independent woman who knows what she wants. So when the chance at the job or her dream comes up she gives up everything to take this job. By everything I mean family, friends, the love of her life and the place she calls home. However the reality isn’t always as good as the dream and when she finds herself returning home she feels like she could have been missing out all along and everything she wanted could have been right in front of her.
When she bumps into her old love Chase the feelings for Kate resurface all over again but Chase isn’t the boy she left behind. He has changed and has never gotten over the rejection from Kate all those years ago. Another person who throws themselves into his work Chase doesn’t have time to relationships and with the added pressure of taking care of his nephew, women as the last thing on his mind. Well all but one woman.
When they meet again at a wedding the chemistry is still there, but can they make their lives work to see what could be or will life and challenges stop them from once again being together. Does love work any better the second time around or is it destined to just repeat the past and end in heartbreak?

A friend who insists there be no singles at her wedding and knows the perfect plus one for Katie. The very boy, now man, whose heart she broke.

Good concept story. Lots of cute moments, and moments of character growth & development. Very quick novella like. Some parts felt dry or choppy to me. However a good second chances novella with characters that you’ll love.

I loved reading this book. This is an author that I have enjoyed from the first book I picked up from her. Her writing skills and attention to details bring her stories to life. This book is no different. This is a fast paced, engaging story that is shorter but packs a punch. A story where two people have great chemistry but life gets in the way. Will these two figure out things and be able to have a life together? I enjoyed Katie and Chase’s growth throughout the story. It made the story easy and entertaining for me. This is a great romance story that I highly recommend reading.

Oh the memories and feelings Katie is overwhelmed with. This book is full of all the feels. When Katie’s mom takes a fall and has to have a care taker will Katie be able to step up and take care of her? Great second chance romance.

This Time Around is the newest instalment from one of my ‘must read’ authors and is now firmly at the top of my favourite books by Jane Suen. It is a sweet second chance contemporary romance, with emotion, family, angst, chemistry, steam, touching and tender moments, fate, miscommunication/misunderstandings, hurt, grudges, and just enough drama to keep me flipping the pages. With work pressure and responsibility weighing her down, Katie Simmons decides to attend a wedding back in her hometown at the last minute, hoping for a little light distraction. But, little did she know that she would be coming face to face with a part of her past she thought she’d let go. But fate had ensured that they were thrust together at the wedding- mmmm awkward much. With past hurt, grudges, chemistry, and some sizzle- things are about to get interesting. As with anything Ms. Suen does, she had me hooked right from the beginning and kept me engaged the whole way through. Looking forward to whatever Ms. Suen decides to do next! Happy Reading!

This book is a small town second chance romance. One of my favorite tropes! Katie goes back to her hometown and comes face to face with the boy she left broken hearted ten years prior. Their lives have changed and went opposite directions but can they rekindle their love? This story is a quick, easy read and will make you smile.

This is not my first novel by this terrific author, but it is by far my favorite. This is one of my new favorite authors and I automatically snap up every thing she releases. Her characters in this one are terrific, well developed, and so easy to relate to that you can’t help but feel all of their emotions. The word building was great, the story line was amazing, and by the end of story I was in tears. But that won’t stop me from picking up the next novel.

A heartwarmingly sweet romance which had me happily turning the pages. Katie returns to her hometown to attend a friend’s wedding but does not have a date, and so the bride sets her up with her cousin. Katie is surprised when she comes face to face with her date, to discover it’s her ex boyfriend, Chase. Chase only agreed to the date for his cousin, the last thing he wanted was to see the girl who had broken his heart ten years earlier when she left for the big city. Things have certainly changed for Chase over the years, having also left his hometown, he’s now returned and living there whilst bringing up his orphaned nephew. Meanwhile, Katie is happy to be home and to spend time with family but she can’t help but think how her life, and her job, which had so much potential hasn’t really turned out how she had imagined. Katie and Chase can not deny that their chemistry is still there, but even if they can get over the past, Katie has to return to her job in the city and Chase’s life is in their hometown with his nephew, Timmy. I loved Katie and Chase, they were both likeable and relatable characters who I felt instantly engaged with. The small town setting really came alive through the descriptive narrative, and I felt immersed in small town living. I was cheering the couple on, hoping they would both get their HEA. This was an enjoyable read which I would recommend.

Katie made a choice when she was 18 that would change her life forever. She was madly in love with Chase and he her. However, Katie desired the city life, the big career, and all that comes with it. She made her choice but for the past ten years has wondered what might have been. When an invitation to attend a wedding in her hometown arrives, Katie isn’t sure she’ll go to the wedding, but she’ll go home to visit her mom and sister. Afterall, she wasn’t there for her dad and she regrets that too! Now that her mom is becoming more frail, it’s a great excuse to get away for the weekend.
Katie’s boss is a real piece of work! She is extremely demanding of Katie’s time and this is the first chance she’s had to get away. After a day with her sister preparing for the wedding that she’s now suckered into attending, she realizes just how much she’s missed life. Can she be the plus one to Chase at this wedding though? It’s been ten long, arduous years.
I was able to read this entire story in about two hours time. I couldn’t put it down! This is a new-to-me author but one that I will be looking for more of her work! I loved the characters and could identify with Katie on the level of being a workaholic. It’s a good thing when you can finally walk away from that life!

I blinked, and I was done this book! I wish it was longer, so I could spend more time with Katie, Mary, Chase, and Timmy. The characters were so relatable and wholesome, and the story was short and sweet. I could feel Katie’s emotions as she came back to her hometown… The regret and sorrow. Thinking she might have prioritized her work over her family and happiness. Watching her figure out her life in order to find a second chance at love was so fulfilling. Maybe it took going away for ten years to truly appreciate what she had. Jane Suen writes in such a descriptive and easy-flowing way. This is my second book of hers, and I just want more!

Kate finds second-chance love with her high-school sweetheart, Chase. This book is so romantic. I am a fan of this author as romance stories have an amazing human emotion to them. You can truly feel the love, the pain, everything the couples go through as they are working through the relationship. Truly, the struggle is real. This story is so relatable. Even more so due to Chase raising his nephew. Decisions must be made, secrets must be brought out. Family members are just helping them. This is a well-written and developed story that will touch your heart and leave you feeling touched when you are done. Another winner for the romance category for 2022. Love!

I have enjoyed this author in the past, and I am certainly enjoying this author now! They created such a good story, with wonderful characters and a story of intrigue and its own level of passion.
This book had everything. I connected with Katie so much. She gave up what she had to chase her own dreams. In the end what she had was lost, and she never really got over it. Chase was such a sweetheart; his emotions were real and vivid a well. I loved how they never stopped caring for one another but weren’t sure how to really go back all and all. I loved the character development especially with Katie. She changed from the last time she saw Chase. The chemistry and love were undeniable. The hurt and feelings that were felt was real. The passion was very much real as well. I fell in love over and over as I read. Such a beautiful and wonderful read. I am so happy I got to enjoy this! Loved it!
This author always knows how to suck in the reader and hold them there and make them feel a lot of things. I highly recommend this author if you have not read their work already, and I most certainly recommend this must-read book. Its one not to be passed up for any reason! Loved it!

Ten years ago, Katie thought she was doing the right thing by breaking off her relationship with her high school boyfriend, Chase. She thought she was going after her dreams and that he shouldn’t give up his dreams and his scholarship to a different college just for her. After college, Katie got the job she thought she’d always wanted, and while it started out great, a new boss has made her hate the job and question being in the position. When Katie returns home for a wedding, the bride forces the old sweethearts back together as she doesn’t want any singles at her wedding. This causes the couple to rekindle the romance they had shared. When Katie’s mom gets hurt, it makes Katie reevaluate her life choices and what is really important.

This Time Around may just be my favourite story by this author to date. It is an emotional journey where my emotions were all over the place. This short story is a sweet second chance romance story and I read it in one sitting. The characters are likeable and well developed. Jane’s writing hooks her readers with her narrative that keeps you engaged all the way through. It is a short story, which makes for a quick and easy read. I wish it were longer.
Katie has returned to her hometown for a wedding only come face to face with her old boyfriend the one she left behind.
Chase has mixed emotions seeing his ex but he doesn’t have time in his life for romance. He has a much higher priority.

She’s given little thought to being “minus a plus one” until the bride suggests she attends with another single. Anticipating polite conversation with a stranger over the plated entrée, Katie agrees… and finds herself face-to-face with her high school boyfriend, who she hasn’t seen since she dumped him after graduation.
Once a shy, gawky teenager, Chase has grown into a strong, handsome man. Yet he never escaped the heartache of Katie’s sharp rejection. For years, he’s distracted himself with work. Now, his time is filled with raising his nephew after his brother and sister-in-law died in a car accident. The last thing he needs is a painful reminder of the past. Yet, thanks to his cousin the bride, the two meet and realize the spark of attraction between them is still burning bright.
But Katie needs to return to her job, and Chase can’t uproot his orphaned nephew. Can the pair reconcile and build a future together?
