Time Travel and Cupcakes: A Time Travel Romance - Book 1
Time travel is real...and complicated.
Armed with a broken heart, an unused bridesmaid dress, and sky-high anxiety, I find myself in 1880s California. The no-Wi-Fi, no-penicillin, no-tampons 1800s. The culprit? An enchanted necklace.
Thanks to a case of mistaken identity, I have a place to sleep and employment. However, oblivious to what life is like in the Old West, I'm winging it. My top priorities? Blend in and find a way back home. My possible undoing? Gavin McCallum.
Gavin is tall, dark, and delicious. Also on the charming, brilliant, successful, and sometimes full of himself. Seeing me as a bright, new, shiny object, he is determined to woo me. I am determined to stay away.
When Gavin’s past threatens to expose my charade, I try to keep my focus on my priorities...but he has abs. Resistance may be futile.
Will I ever find a way home? Do I still want to go home?
Like I said, time travel is complicated.
If you love smart heroines, slow-burn sizzle, and stories that make you laugh, swoon, and stay up way too late—this one’s for you.

I had so much fun reading Time Travel and Cupcakes, Teacups, and Thimbles. As a total sucker for time travel romance (thank you, Outlander), this series hit all the right notes. Natalia Sierra is the kind of heroine you root for right away—quirky, anxious, and hilariously unprepared for 1888 California. Watching her try to blend in with corsets and outdated social rules while falling for Gavin McCallum (who, let’s be honest, is equal parts heart and abs) made for a really entertaining ride. Throw in a meddling socialite and a little emotional chaos, and you’ve got yourself a recipe for trouble in the best way.
The blend of humor, heart, and historical awkwardness kept me turning pages way past bedtime. Natalia’s modern perspective clashing with old-timey expectations gave the story its charm, and the romance had just enough slow burn to keep me hooked. It’s a great addition to your book collection. Happy Reading…enjoy!

This time-travel romance is delightful. A brokenhearted Natalia Sierra receives a necklace from a vendor at the spring festival. Later, Gavin McCallum helps her return to the boardinghouse more than a century in the past. A lopsided love triangle forms as the local, snobbish socialite attempts to worm her way back into Gavin's heart.
The story, written from Natalia's perspective, shares her insecurities, passions, and experiences in the nineteenth century. Her personality is that of a forward-thinking modern woman. The story elaborates enough historical detail to enjoy without being trapped in the minutiae. Overall, the tale is engaging, enjoyable, and entertaining.
Easy-to-read. Entertaining. Happily Ever After. Romantic. Scary. Steamy. Unpredictable. Wonderful characters.

This is my first book by Ms. May Leonardo and I absolutely loved it. It was funny and captured my fill attention. I was rooting for Natalia so she could finally find her way home.. I thought she was funny and pretty resourceful while to blend in. Then there was the very handsome Gavin. I guess he found Natalia refreshing from his ex how wanted him back.
She desperately tried everything to get Gavin and Natalie away from each other. But they were meant for each other.
I loved when Elizabeth I believe mentioned why Natalia's eyes would go around like that!! That had me laughing out loud! And I loved, loved the ending. Natalia did a complete turn around because she found the one for her.

It’s not often I venture into the world of romance reading but I’m delighted that I was given an ARC of this lovely book! I laughed, I cried, I cussed characters. Such a sweet swoony read. I thoroughly enjoyed it and can’t wait to read Time Travel and Teacups next.

A really fun story. I was not crazy about the FMC in the very beginning, but her character becomes very likeable, along with most of the characters she meets. She adapts well to the situation in which she finds herself.
