Time for Love #6
3 Seconds
A lot can happen in 3 Seconds. It's the space of time between walking onstage and stepping up to the mic. It’s that moment when your eyes meet across a crowded room and the chemistry between you is undeniable.
Bronagh has accomplished a lot in her thirty-five years. A successful pub owner and happy divorcée, she's learned to enjoy life, but have realistic expectations. Her past has taught her that it's best not to depend on others, but that doesn't mean she won't sample a tasty morsel when it's right in front of her.
After taking a break from culinary school to travel abroad, Brendan is back and eager to finish what he started. Although he relishes the nights he gets to play with his brothers in their band, and enjoys their healthy supply of groupies, he's ready to start acting like the twenty-something that he is…a fact he craves to prove with Bronagh.
What starts as a one-night-stand becomes more when Bronagh and Brendan realize that they can't walk away. But can a younger man who's prone to late nights and scantily-clad women convince a woman who's been hurt that age doesn't matter, and he's the man she needs?

4 Paying Attention to The Moments Stars
* * * * Spoiler Free
In our society we are aged obsessed...and one of the most long held practices in relationships is older man/younger woman. That has been the way and it can even be "accepted to the extreme" by society...Only recently has there been an article about the gulf of age between leading men and women in movies...
So where are you going with this, you may ask...
Well, in 3 Seconds by Bethany Lopez, she presents a love story of a woman of 35 starting and feeling her way with a man of 26. They both connect in a space of a three second glance and we are there every step of the way...
Even through the complex surprise of seeing each other again, their feelings of lust and then caring after the initial one night stand...has them both think there is a possibility of pursuing this... whatever that means.
For Bronagh is at the stage in her life where she has experienced a unhealthy marriage and come out the other end of divorce knowing what is important to her and her future. She opened with her Da a bar/pub and it is getting off the ground nicely. She is finally in a place where she can see a future with things in it she wants.
Brendan has been living a life which has allowed him to pursue singing with his brothers and also accomplishing his culinary goals. He has worked with the best in Paris and is in the last stages of his education. Things are on track and most of it is due to the guidance and love of his brothers. They lost their parents when they were young and his brother Brock was only 18 when he took on raising his kin. Warren keeps that close to his heart and never forgets the sacrifice his brother made.
This two have chemistry off the wall. They Snap, Crackle and Pop...
There is an underlining of what is age... and how it impacts women much more than men... but overall that is not the main issue or angst of this book, thank goodness.
No, Ms. Lopez brings up other factors then just an age number and I applaud her for it. The writing grabs from the start with sly secondary characters, such as Bronagh's girl posse and the brothers leaving hints of more to come in other installments. This series has other books before this, however, the way it was structured... I didn't feel the need to have read them to enjoy this...I did feel the want to read them, though... as this was a wonderful experience.

5 Star Review By Rabia Tanveer for Readers’ Favorite
Bethany Lopez' 3 Seconds is a simple, yet delicious romance. If there is a romance that grips your heart, it is 3 Seconds. Bronagh is a thirty-five-year-old woman who is successful in her career, but did not have much luck in love. She is a divorced pub owner that does really well. She is not ready to love again, but she is not averse to a night of fun with a hot rocker. Trouble is, that particular rocker wants more, more than she is willing to give.
Brendon is back from travelling the world. He loves playing in his brother's band. The rush he feels from performing on stage is nothing like he feels anywhere else; also the groupies are an added bonus that he enjoys a lot. But when he meets Bronagh, he wants more. But Bronagh is not ready to give him more than one night. She has been hurt before, but if Brendon can show her that he is mature for his age, the age difference will not be an issue for them.
Like I said, this novel is simple yet it is very adorable. Bethany Lopez wrote a novel that makes you want to smile. Brendon is such a charmer, he makes everything better by being in the scene. The way he knocked down the walls around her heart was really warming. You cannot help but cheer for Brendon and hope that he wins Bronagh over. She deserves a happily ever after. I loved the novel and the cover!

The read was decent and kept me entertained which is why I'm giving it 3.5 stars. I wasn't so excited that I swallowed the novel whole but I didn't have to force myself to get through the book, either. This is one of those "older, less experienced and confident women with a younger, gorgeous, and confident guy" type of reads. I like them because age truly shouldn't stop someone from forming a relationship with another person unless it is like a 16 year old boy and a 35 year old women, that is creepy and a no no.
Bronagh is divorced, a culinary professor, and a successful business owner. She loves to cook, to teach, and spending time with her friends. She divorced her ex-husband because through their entire marriage he had been cheating on her. She has self-esteem and sexual inexperience issues due to her long marriage to a man who didn't allow her to blossom into the sensual, beautiful women she actually is.
Brendan is a singer in a band, a lover of cooking, and finally finishing up his culinary degree after taking time to travel through Europe. He gained valuable hands on experience while working under some of the most renowned chefs in Europe. He's confident, sexy, and finally ready to settle down it seems.
My overall takeaway from the story is that love doesn't have to be perfect and it doesn't have to make sense to anyone but you. That's a valuable lesson many don't really get until it is almost or is too late.

*I was provided an advanced copy of this book in exchange for an honest review*
My Rating: 3.5 Coffee Cups
I enjoyed this book. I just wish there was more of it!! The family aspect was huge for me. I loved the dynamic between the brothers.
Bronough is a quintessential 30-something. She is focused on her career and she's done the heartbreak thing and is in no rush to get back into it. But at a concert she meets gorgeous, twenty-something lead singer Brendan. She may not want to jump into a relationship, but that doesn't mean she wouldn't take a chance and jump at a night with a hot, younger, most likely "skilled" guy. Hell, I would (just sayin').
Brendan is exactly what you think he is: a one-night stand, sort of guy. Never had a serious relationship and perfectly content with that fact. But once you start getting to know him you see there's so much more to him than that. He's passionate. Passionate about his family, about cooking, about music and after the one night that was supposed to end with her sneaking out of his apartment he's quickly becoming passionate about Bronough too.
Pulling the "guy move" and sneaking out of Brendan's place was intended to be the end of it. She had her one night of hot & steamy and was ready to move on and teach the culinary class that she promised a colleague she'd cover for. And yup, exactly, in walks Brendan and she realizes maybe one night wasn't enough. Despite her HUGE reservations about their age difference she gives it a shot. And this is where I wanted to go through my kindle and shake her. She never put herself truly out there. She holds herself back and finds reason after reason as to why it's not going to work. And when he gives her answers and opens his heart she can't open her eyes until it's almost too late.
"Brendan stepped forward, into the bar, and was immediately surrounded by greedy, shouting women.
That ugly seed of jealousy grew, even as I tried to bury it within me, but I watched as Brendan kept as smile on his face for his fans and scanned above their heads, searching for me. When he found me, his grin grew and I heard him say, “I’m glad you enjoyed the show, ladies, but I’m afraid I’ve got a hot date,” as he sauntered right to me.
I barely registered the chorus of boos and awes, his pull already taking hold of me.
He didn’t pause when he reached me; instead he came at me full force, pulling me into his arms and fusing his lips to mine. The desire that had been building throughout his performance came to a head, and I met his passion full force, opening my lips and inviting him in for a taste.
Just as we were reaching the point of no return, Brendan pulled back and smiled beautifully down at me, his eyes flashing with the heat I knew he was feeling.
“Let’s get out of here.'"
But as I said in the beginning I loved the dynamic between Brock, Brady and Brendan. They are as close as brothers can be. And they love each other and the adopted family (i.e. Brock's wife Victoria) FIERCELY. I think that in all honestly was my favorite aspect of the story. They each had their own personalities, their own baggage and their own stories, but when it really mattered they were one unit.

I devoured this story and would gladly come back for seconds. Brendan is a strong leading man whose youth and former manwhoring ways are no match when love strikes. Tall, scruffy, can cook AND sing?! Add in his complete focus on Bronagh and his skills with his tongue and uhhhh, yea. He’s everything I wanted and more.
Bronagh is a bit of an older heroine, but that doesn’t mean that she’s smarter. She’s trying to move on from her ex-husband. The man who berated her appearance, treated her like an untouchable trophy, cheated on her, and emotionally abused her. Thinking that one-night of hot and delicious sex will cleanse her palette, she goes home with the sexy lead singer at the nightclub. Little does she know that Brendan is also her student at the culinary college. Well, shit.
I loved Brendan’s persistence, Bronagh’s reticence, and their stolen moments. There’s drama coming at them from all sides, a lot of stubbornness and a few lies of omission, but nothing too crazy that you won’t be able to handle. This story ends in an HEA that made me smile.
Simple and to the point, 3 seconds is a light, fun and fast read that has enough spice to raise your temperature and the right amount of sweet to leave you satisfied. 4 stars!

This sexy older woman, younger man romance is the story of Brendan and Bronagh. Brendan is a musician at heart, but with an equal passion for cooking and is finishing up his last credits for his culinary degree. A one night stand with a fiery redhead he meets after one of his concerts turns into a bit of a dilemma when she turns out to be his cooking instructor. Bronagh teaches at the culinary school but also runs an Irish pub with her father. Having an affair with a student is definitely something she never considered, but Brendan is very persuasive. Can two people at different stages in their life find common ground to build a relationship on?
This whole series has been a delight to read, and when Brock's brothers were introduced in the story 10 Minutes (admittedly my favourite of the series) I was hoping we'd see them show up to get their happy ever afters too. Despite Brendan's mid-20s age, he is a grounded and smart man, quite comfortable with himself and his goals to pursue music where it will take him at the same time as finishing his chef degree. When he meets Bronagh, there are immediate sparks in the air, but after their one night together, he has a lot to prove in order to convince her that his age shouldn't matter in their relationship. Bronagh of course is older and wiser. She's divorced, she's in her mid-thirties, and she knows her biological clock is ticking. She's right to question whether Brendan sees her as serious relationship material or just a fling. Happily for her, he uses his skills (physical and otherwise) to convince her that they can have a future together. Their love scenes are steamy and believable. There are doubts on all sides about whether they can have a long lasting relationship but when their friends and family see them together they can tell that it's something serious. I liked seeing the other characters from the previous stories, and there is a nice set up for Brendan's brother Brody to have his story next. A solid addition to the series. 4 stars.

Brenden and Bronagh story was spectacular. I couldn’t get enough of them. So much love, passion and happiness. I loved to see the whole gang and be there for one another. This couple was everything and more. Had me smiling throughout the whole book.

As the Time for Love series continues we come to a story this time around where it entails an age gape between two people: a younger man and an older woman. Lead singer to Whiskey Heat, Brendan O’Malley is back from taking a temporary break from culinary school to travel around Europe. Upon his return he seeks to finish where he left off and graduate from class, to play in his band with his brothers again, and prepare for his future. With his goals in place; one night during his return to performing again there was an undeniable bond that he felt across the room. Needless to say he wanted to get to know (in more ways than usual) the woman that has caught his eye.
Cue in mystery woman, Bronagh Callahan who has lived and experienced the married life that turned into divorce, a pub that she owns and runs with her Pa, and enjoying life as a single person. When an unexpected ladies night out consisted of sparks from the HOT rocker before her she was all for the one-night stand; however, that one encounter ended up leading to more.
When they are together the steamy moments are inevitably HOT but what is holding them back is everything else that they have going for themselves. Besides the age factor are two different outlooks for the future enough to make this couple work?
“Give me a shot. Give us a shot. Age doesn’t matter, don’t let it stand in our way.”
A different take in finding love for Brendan & Bronagh and one that had me enjoying every moment ever since that 3 seconds that changed everything. A believer that there is no time limit to finding that one that catches your eye with an intense connection that needs to be explored regardless of certain factors. This is one of my favorite 5 stars reads in the series. Pick up a copy of this #mustread book today! ~Cristina, 5 hearts
“I deserved this…I deserved a one-night stand with a hot-as-hell rock star.
Okay, maybe rock star was a stretch, but he was young, hotter than hell, and had more than his fair share of talent.”
When I first dived into this story, I didn’t know what to expect, but I was instantly hooked to Bronagh and Brendan’s love story. While we are introduced to them at a club that Brendan is performing at, there is an instant attraction that cannot be denied leading to their one night stand. But what happens when they meet outside the club?
We learn that that Brendan attended culinary school in France and is currently continuing his schooling, but what happens when we find out that Bronagh is in the same class? What happens when they make that discovery? Can they avoid their feelings and deny what they had the previous night? Or will this be an amazing dangerous love affair that Bronagh never even considered having? One thing is for sure, they can’t deny what they feel despite what obstacles they may face along the way.
Bethany Lopez definitely hooks you in from start to finish, only making you want more. And it’s true, sometimes 3 seconds is all it takes. 3 seconds is what gets you hooked. ~ Jennifer, 5 hearts

As a reader, and an older woman myself, I was drawn to this older woman/younger man theme and charmed from the first page to the last thanks to a sweet and sexy hero and strong-willed heroine. Though there's a bit of familiarity to the overall storyline it was a feeling of comfort that surrounded me and made this an immensely enjoyable read. It may be the sixth installment in the Time for Love series but stands strongly on its own due to the compelling and likable secondary characters, engaging dialogue, and its sweet and sensual romance. After reading this I definitely plan on starting the series from the beginning as the glimpses of past characters has me dying to know their stories and excited for what the future brings to the new characters as well.
Bronagh's a confident woman moving on from a recent divorce, talented and doing what she loves in teaching culinary school. What better way to move on than the sexy younger man rockin' it out on stage. After a scorching night together they both know they want more but real life invades with issues that could tear them apart before they've barely begun. Bronagh's a strong-willed woman who knows that her biological clock is ticking and doubts Brendan's ready to commit. She also worries about the perceived improprieties of being his teacher. These issues are understandable and addressed in a believable way that's the first hint at the maturity of Brendan beyond his years that gives you hope that they can have a HEA. I liked Bronagh wholeheartedly as she's smart, funny, with a zest for living. Her interactions with her girlfriends were an added bonus that brought forth more humor and had me identifying even more with her. Their interactions were supportive and brought a smile to my face as they're the kind of friends you want for yourself.
Brendan's another new addition to my list of book boyfriends as he's sweet, sexy, and oozes charm. Once he sees Bronagh he knows he has to have her and is single-minded in his pursuit of her. He's talented too with his culinary and musical skills which made him a favorite amongst the ladies. He only had eyes for Bronagh though and I enjoyed their sensual tango. On a whole he's a hard man to resist and Bronagh thankfully doesn't put up much of a fight as their connection is crackling and teems with sexual tension. Brendan may be young in years but he knows what and who he wants out of life which had me cheering him on from the moment I saw him. His interactions with his brothers was equally entertaining as that of Bronagh and her friends with their playful and chiding banter which further charmed me and left me wanting to see more of his brothers.
From start to finish this story held me captivated with its sweet and sexy romance, immensely appealing main and secondary characters, and realistic yet familiar storyline. The romance too was sensual as Brendan showed even more talents in the bedroom. Theirs is a romance that was scorching yet sweet that didn't gloss over the age difference but dealt with it head-on with their families having a vested interest as well. It all made for a fun and flirty read with promises of more to come. This was my first time reading Ms. Lopez but won't be the last as I enjoyed the family and friend dynamics she lovingly crafted which is just one of many reasons to recommend this book and series!
Bronagh's a confident woman moving on from a recent divorce, talented and doing what she loves in teaching culinary school. What better way to move on than the sexy younger man rockin' it out on stage. After a scorching night together they both know they want more but real life invades with issues that could tear them apart before they've barely begun. Bronagh's a strong-willed woman who knows that her biological clock is ticking and doubts Brendan's ready to commit. She also worries about the perceived improprieties of being his teacher. These issues are understandable and addressed in a believable way that's the first hint at the maturity of Brendan beyond his years that gives you hope that they can have a HEA. I liked Bronagh wholeheartedly as she's smart, funny, with a zest for living. Her interactions with her girlfriends were an added bonus that brought forth more humor and had me identifying even more with her. Their interactions were supportive and brought a smile to my face as they're the kind of friends you want for yourself.
Brendan's another new addition to my list of book boyfriends as he's sweet, sexy, and oozes charm. Once he sees Bronagh he knows he has to have her and is single-minded in his pursuit of her. He's talented too with his culinary and musical skills which made him a favorite amongst the ladies. He only had eyes for Bronagh though and I enjoyed their sensual tango. On a whole he's a hard man to resist and Bronagh thankfully doesn't put up much of a fight as their connection is crackling and teems with sexual tension. Brendan may be young in years but he knows what and who he wants out of life which had me cheering him on from the moment I saw him. His interactions with his brothers was equally entertaining as that of Bronagh and her friends with their playful and chiding banter which further charmed me and left me wanting to see more of his brothers.

I received an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.
This was my first Bethany Lopez book and I will definitely be going back to read the previous books in this series. I loved this story! The plot. The characters. The fact that it was an older woman and a younger guy! Woo hoo!
But let's start at the beginning. Brendan is in a band with his brothers and is about the take the stage. It's during his set when he sees Bronagh. She's with her friends and is having a good time and Brendan can't take his eyes off of her. Hooking up with a groupie after a gig is not a foreign concept for him, but he has a feeling that that things will be different with her. Bronagh goes home with Brendan and they have an extremely, intense and sexy one night stand. It's clear from just that one night that there is more than sex between them, but Bronagh sneaks out before morning. A few days later, Brendan can't stop thinking about Bronagh and she comes back into his life in a very unexpected way. And now that he has found her again, he's not about to let her go. Bronagh is wary about starting a relationship with Brendan, but when it comes down to it, she knows that what they have together is special and she shouldn't let that go.
I loved Brendan and Bronagh together. They had a lot in common and their relationship seemed to come to them in such a natural way. They were both quite thoughtful when it came to the other person and they really did have a wonderful connection. When the relationship hit a decent sized stumbling block, I couldn't help but yell out "Noooooooooooooo," but I knew that they would eventually find their way back to each other. And the way it happens was both hilarious and so freaking sweet. Thank god for all the friends and family in both of their lives, because without them knocking sense into both Brendan and Bronagh, it probably would never have happened. I definitely got emotional while reading the end of this book and I felt all warm and fuzzy by the end.
Even if you haven't been reading this series, this book is definitely a 1-click book! People from the previous books popped up throughout this one, but it wasn't an issue. If anything, it just made me want to go back and read them! Ms. Lopez is definitely on my radar and I'm going to go add all of her books to my TBR!

*Review copy received from the author for an honest review*
4 “She makes me feel like a man” stars!
Musician by night and cooking student by day meets an older, feisty, and independent red head. Bronagh and Brendan’s story intrigued me. And I wasn’t disappointed by this sexy, sweet, and quick read. Honestly, all I needed to see was “band” and I was sold on this story ;)
“I deserved this…I deserved a one-night stand with a hot-as-hell rock star.”
But, as the story progressed I became more engrossed in Brendan and Bronagh’s relationship, and his part as a musician wasn’t even significant to me. Their story is very sweet!!! And drama free!! I loved this about their story. No need to worry, ladies, Brendan doesn’t do the usual musician stupid crap. He knows how to keep it in his pants! LOL!! Their story is more about learning to fit into each other’s life, and of course deal with their age difference. And I know some of you are reading this and going why is the age difference an issue?!? Well, if you are asking that question, then you need to read the book ;)
“Did he act like a moron when you were together? Did he get out his crayons and color at the dinner table?”
Brendan and his brothers, and fellow band mates, are some amazing guys. Honestly, this story is filled with great characters. I enjoyed them all. Which leads me to my next issue….somehow I missed that their story is part of a series. I am guessing it can be read as a stand-alone since I signed up to review it, but I definitely would have loved to know a little more about a few of the characters. I found myself unfamiliar with a few characters, but yet feeling like I should know who they are. But, that’s my bad!!!
“Nothing in life worth getting is easy, right?”
Now, are you wondering why I gave it 4 stars if I enjoyed it so much?!? Well, I needed more in the end. I felt like it ended too
quickly. And I almost felt like the last chapter should have been an epilogue and not just another chapter. Now, that might go back to the fact that I jump into a series out of order. It may not feel that way if you read the series in order ;)
With all that being said, though, I really enjoyed this story and recommend you give this series a try.

CRISTINA'S REVIEW
5 STARS
As the Time for Love series continues we come to a story this time around where it entails an age gape between two people: a younger man and an older woman.
Lead singer to Whiskey Heat, Brendan O’Malley is back from taking a temporary break from culinary school to travel around Europe. Upon his return he seeks to finish where he left off and graduate from class, to play in his band with his brothers again, and prepare for his future. With his goals in place; one night during his return to performing again there was an undeniable bond that he felt across the room. Needless to say he wanted to get to know (in more ways than usual) the woman that has caught his eye.
Cue in mystery woman, Bronagh Callahan who has lived and experienced the married life that turned into divorce, a pub that she owns and runs with her Pa, and enjoying life as a single person. When an unexpected ladies night out consisted of sparks from the HOT rocker before her she was all for the one-night stand; however, that one encounter ended up leading to more.
When they are together the steamy moments are inevitably HOT but what is holding them back is everything else that they have going for themselves. Besides the age factor are two different outlooks for the future enough to make this couple work?
“Give me a shot. Give us a shot. Age doesn’t matter, don’t let it stand in our way.”
A different take in finding love for Brendan & Bronagh and one that had me enjoying every moment ever since that 3 seconds that changed everything. A believer that there is no time limit to finding that one that catches your eye with an intense connection that needs to be explored regardless of certain factors. This is one of my favorite 5 stars reads in the series. Pick up a copy of this #mustread book today!

3 Seconds is book #6 in one of my favorite series, and let me tell you, it just keeps getting better & better! This book is more proof as to why I’m a big fan of this author. Again we are given an amazing story with characters that are so real, you just want to wrap your arms around them and squeeze!
Ms. Lopez has made the hero in this book a VERY sexy one. He’s also very smart, very talented, and isn’t’ afraid to go after what he wants. Brendan sings in a band with his two brothers… he is also attending culinary school. A hot musician who can cook – nice right?! One night while playing a gig, he spots Bronagh dancing and having a good time. After the show, he is drawn to her and cannot fight the need to approach her. Their chemistry is hot & the sparks fly.
Bronagh is a great heroine. She’s a sexy, divorced older woman who has been burned in the past, so why not have a little fun with this young hottie? And they definitely have lots of fun!
And I must mention this: Bronagh’s friends! I want these girls to be MY friends! They are funny, they are smart asses, and most importantly, they are “hurt-my-friend-and-I’ll-cut-you” type girls. I absolutely fell in love with them! They are another perfect example of fantastic characters created by this author.
I can always count on Bethany to give me a story that will suck me in from the very beginning and keep me turning page after page until I have completely devoured it, and I’m left with a big smile on my face. I highly recommend 3 Seconds! If you haven’t read the previous books in the series, I’m pretty sure you’ll want to after reading this.

Older woman younger man story but Bronagh is not a cougar – nope – she has been married and divorced and has her own business but at times she seems much younger than her 35 years on earth. Brendan is 26, lead singer of Whiskey Heat, never been in a relationship and is in his last year of culinary school. Bronagh wants one hot night of passion and Brendan provides it after Whiskey Heat performs one night. Little did they know that they would see one another again – in the class Bronagh will be teaching.
The two of them are not sure about starting a relationship but eventually do in spite of the taboo of the teacher-student issue. Eventually things go south, Brendan seeks advice from his brothers and Bronagh heads to her friends Ming and Cass for advice on whether or not she made the right decision. The couple has many real issues to tackle and overcome if they are to have a happily ever after.
Characters from previous books make an appearance at an afternoon party at Brock’s house and updates are provided for those that have read previous books. The set-up for Brady’s story in book 7 of the series is suggested and he is a broody guy that definitely deserves a good woman in his life.
This was an enjoyable read but I wondered at the end whether or not the two will stay together forever…they might…or they might not. I think that it will depend on how they grow together in the future…and I wish them the best.
Thank you to NetGalley for the copy of this book to read and review.

I am in love with this series. Each book gets better and better and I love how we get insight to the characters we meet throughout the series.
Brendan is a 26 year old singer in a band and training to be a chef. He has never had a relationship before, ever! Along comes Bronagh – in the 3 seconds it took for their eyes to meet across the crowd he knew he was done for.
Bronagh is older that Brendan. She is 35 years old, been married and is a chef as well as owner of a pub with her dad.
After their night of passion following the gig where they met, it turns out that she is also Brendan’s teacher at the Chef college!
They have so much in common despite the age gape – which really isn’t that big of a deal for Brendan but Bronagh feel it is. The passion between them is off the charts, but when a conversation comes up about the future it threatens to break them up forever.
Can they work through their differences? Can they be together like everyone knows they belong? What Brendan does at one point in this part of the story just made me love him even more!
I am not going to spoil it – hah!
I hope this isn’t the last of this series as there a few characters we have just met and some old that I would love to hear their stories.

Ms. Lopez has out done her self with her recent story "3 Seconds". She has given us another amazing story with real, relatable characters. One that will not only warm your heart, but keep you guessing throughout the whole journey.
Brendan is one third of his brotherhood trio. Aside from the band, he is currently at home finishing his last semester of culinary school. During a concert he looks down and sees a girl that we'll later know as Bronagh. He doesn't now anything about her except that he has to meet her.
Bronagh is happily divorced, and knows from her unfortunate past that relying on anyone but herself isn't the best idea. She is a culinary professor who doubles as a successful pub owner.
Can a younger man prove that he is mature and prepared enough for an older woman? Read "3 Seconds" to find out if Bredan proves himself man enough.
I personally look forward to reading the next fantastic book in this series. I have received a complimentary copy in exchange for a honest review. Review by Melissa K for HEA Fanatics.

Bronagh is a successful chef once married to a renowned chef in France but it did not work out. She is now divorced, back home in the states and owns a very successful pub which she runs with her father.
Brendan, one of three brothers is now home after attending culinary school in France he and his brothers play in a band together and enjoy this time with each other. On one of these nights while they are playing at a venue Brendan sees Bronagh in the audience and there is an instant attraction. The one night hookup becomes so much more, they just click until after several dates and heart to heart talks it seems that there is something that Bronagh wants in life that Brendan is sworn to never happen. Can their relationship survive or will they split and go their separate ways?
I loved the author's writing style and how her works drew me into the story and kept me reading well past bedtime. I look forward to more books by Bethany Lopez.

I receive this book in return for an unbiased review.
Brendan and his brothers were playing in there band when he saw her across the bar. In those 3 seconds his life is going to change.
Bronagh owns an Irish pub she decides to go out with her friends to see a band and when she she's him her life will also be changed.
I fell in love with the story immediately. Brandan and Bronagh are destined to be together even though they have their disagreements and don't always see eye to eye. It was good to see the family dynamics and how their families stuck behind them and try to lead them in the right direction. Also brendon is so cute in the way he tries to win her over.
The only other thing I can say is this is a must read

I'm loving this series. The relationships are actually built on something. It's not your typical love at first sight. They are everyday people with every day issues. I loved Bronagh. These books are always witty and romantic.
"What part of what I just said made you think, 'yay' was an appropriate response?" I asked.
Cass looked at me like I was a moron.
"Um, the part where you went home with that stud from the bar, and finally used your vagina for something good again."
Girlfriends, men and this one had music! Mmm. Such a romantic story. Enjoy it!

3 Seconds is the sixth book in the Time for Love series by Bethany Lopez. I have loved this series starting with book 1 and I love how each book reaches out and keeps your attention from beginning to end. The storyline was solid and well thought out. The characters were fabulous and had great chemistry. Bethany did a fabulous job of keeping the secondary characters stories a huge part of this book. This being a standalone book with a happy ending just makes this book that much better.
August 27, 2015
A good enjoyable read. These two characters think they know what they want, but with the help of friends and family they realize what they truly want. Bronagh's one night stand soon walks back into her classroom. Brendan's younger age to Bronagh has her having doubts. Can Brendan show her he has what it takes to make it work? But there is one big hurdle to get over that may be the deal breaker for Bronagh.
November 16, 2015
This book was just one of those really sweet, and, at times, hot books. I really enjoyed it and enjoyed both main characters, but what I really loved were the brothers and their relationships with each other. Even thought this book easily read as a stand alone I definitely want to read the books that came before this one and will continue to read the ones after.

I was lucky to receive an ARC from this author. I have loved all the previous books in the series but this one might be my favorite. Love how the characters from the other books make a small appearance. These two characters in the book work through life situations and realize their true love for one another.

Sweet story! I listened to this story in audio. Bethany Lopez does wonderful in writing a sweet story. Narrator Shawn Marie Bryan really had you pulled into the characters. I enjoyed meeting Bronagh and Brendan. I also enjoyed seeing some of the other characters from the Time for Love series.
