From the very beginning this book is HOT! And it leaves me wanting to pick up some Nutella...but you'll have to read it to know what I mean! It's told from different perspectives giving you great insight into the main characters and what they're thinking. I love the nicknames they have for each other and other things. I fell in love with both Brad and Charlie and my heart ached for them as we learned of their past failed relationships. There are so many lovable characters within the story that I can't wait to see who the next book will be about. This is the first book I've read by this author, but it definitely will not be the last!

Charlie is a girl after my own heart, she knows what and who she wants and she goes after it.
Brad is not looking for love only the next thing, but Charlie is all that he never knew he wanted. Can he convince her to be his Forever? Hot as Hell READ!!!!

Review of This Time (Timeless Love, #1) by Laura N. Andrews
Review done for Hooked on Books & CherryOBlossoms Promotions
4 ½ out of 5 stars
Charlie Blake is a single mom just trying to make it through life. She works part time and is also trying to finish her Business Administration certificate.
When she finds her douche ex in bed with her friend she leaves town to start a new life. Thankfully her best friend Rosie moves with her.
Charlie decides she needs a night out and a one-night stand as well. When she is out a bar, she meets a gorgeous stranger who she decides to take a chance on a night of fun with. The next morning, after the hottest sex of her life, she sneaks out without leaving her number.
Disappointed that she might not see him again, she takes a chance and shows up at the same bar again the next week. To her surprise, there he is.
Brad has been burned by love and is in no hurry to make the same mistake again. When he has a passionate night with a stranger, he is contemplating wanting to see her again; only he didn’t get her name or number.
When they meet again, sparks fly. They both decide to take the plunge on a casual sex relationship. It doesn’t take long for them both to fall head over heels for each other. They both have to learn to get over their pasts and fully trust one another.
I really loved this book. Brad and Charlie were perfect for each other and the supporting characters were wonderful. The story flowed perfectly and I loved the dual POV’s.
I definitely recommend this book to read and can’t wait for book 2!

Ok, so Charlie is braver than I ever have been. Going out by herself for a night out to find someone to have fun with and with a young baby at home. Charlies hooks up with Brad but one night is not enough for either of them and they come back for more. Both have had their hearts stomped all over and trust is something that doesn't come easily for them.
Misunderstandings and uncertainties run amok throughout, exposing their insecurities and vulnerabilities causing much angst for Brad and Charlie.
This was a really good read which was full of fun, heat, high emotions, a sassy best friend and a cute baby.

This was my first time reading anything by Laura Andrews ,and I must say that I thoroughly enjoyed this story. Laura Andrews has given us such a great story that flows smoothly, and the back stories of these characters give this a really nice calming read. This story is set in Australia and it's written in Australia English ,and we are given a handy glossary for terms for us the readers to know what's going on. I find the characters personalities were written so well ,that it was like reading about family and friends . Charlotte ( Charlie) is a single mother ,who's taking a computer course in Business Administration, and also works at a cafe to made ends meet. Rosie ,who's her best friend takes care of baby Lucus to let Charlie (Charlotte ) be able to go out one evening, to have some fun because it's not something she offend. But while at the club that night she meets Brad ,who's a lawyer but when one thing lead to another Charlie ends up go home with him to his place, but think it was only a one night stand of a life time she ups and leaves. But at the same time she wishes that it could be much more. But their keep running in to each other at the club ,but Brad would like is an relationship that would be exclusively with Charlie. I could tell you more about this story ,but that would spoil it for you. I highly recommend that you read this story, you won't be disappointed.

Great HEA story of unexpected and abiding love
This is my first reading of this author, and I'm so glad to have found her. I am enamored with Australian romances, the vernacular and tempo. Brad and Charlotte (Charlie) had intended their relationship to be just casual hookups, nothing more. A single mom raising a young son created from what she thought was a loving relationship but was a nightmare instead, Charlie had no thought of having a partner nor a stranger man in her son's life. And Brad, single, successful attorney, was certainly not interested in anything other than his usual "hit-it-and-quit-it." But life had other ideas, and soon they were a couple. With each of them having past issues, and only a small bobble or two, this romance was sweet, passionate, and adorable. The surrounding characters all rounded out the story well, and the full read was quite satisfying.

This was a good story about 2 people who aren't looking for a relationship that end up falling in to one. I really enjoyed that Brad wanted a relationship with Charlie and set about trying to lure her into that. So much happens in this book that you just sit along for the ride. You find yourself immersed in Charlie and Brad's life and all those that surround them.

This is the first of the Timeless Love series, and it starts this series off HOT! Charlie is a single mom and goes out looking for the perfect man to scratch her itch. After having a freaking hot one night stand with a someone who she doesn't even know his name, she is kicking herself in the butt for leaving the way she did. She wants more of him! Taking a chance she once again goes to the club where she met him and luck strikes, he shows up and this time she makes sure she gets a name and after another great night, she even gets a number. Now if only she can keep this for fun only relationship casual; Charlie can't afford to have complications and Brad would become a huge complication, and letting him more into her life is something that Charlie isn't ready for. Brad wants more from Charlie than she is willing to give, will he be able to convince her to give him a chance or will this relationship crash before it even fully takes off?
This was a really good read, I really enjoyed it! Brad and Charlie were so freaking cute together and I loved every aspect of their story, the struggles, the drama, the scary times! I can't wait to read the next story! I give this 5 stars.

First of all I won this book in a giveaway and I'm really glad I did!!!
It's about two people that had some difficulties with their previous partners, so when they meet they both are hesitant about their relationship but as time goes by they make it through.
It's a really nice book and I enjoyed it!!
It can be read as a stanalone but there is a second book in the series that has a character from this book!
