Giving him a second chance could cost her everything.

In 1987 Wisconsin, college student Kiko Hada can't concentrate with her parents fighting, so she takes the night off from her intense college coursework to rent a movie. At the local Blockbuster, her plans of nabbing a new release are thwarted when a handsome man grabs the last copy. Not looking for more distractions in her life, Kiko accepts his offer to share it for one night only.

When their paths cross again, he excitedly introduces her to his best friend. Now Yoshi has to protect her long enough to forge the relationship he's always wanted.

Reviews

[Leesa · Rating 3 out of 5]

First, when I started this, I had a hard time relating to the characters. Kiko was too cynical and Yoshi was too perfect and they soon fell in love and it all just was too perfect too soon. I kept remembering this book had something to do with time travel and kept wondering where that would be and how it would fit. There was a side story about Yoshi’s family and the katana and I still don’t know how that fit into the story. The time travel comes in later and it’s a very interesting premise and I look forward to reading the next book in the series but I didn’t think the time travel portion flowed with this story and I still don’t know how it was supposed to fit. I gave this 3 stars because I just didn’t find enough about this one that I liked, that being said, I liked the authors writing style and want to see how her other stories play out

A wonderfully good but sad book.

What a ride, I loved and hated this book. I definitely cried ugly tears. I loved kiko’s and Yoshi’s story, and the ending was not even remotely what I had envisioned. I wished I had read this book first, but I’m glad I have Kiko’s back story. The next book is awesome, and I’m excited to begin the one that comes next. It’s such a different take on time travel and I loved it. A definite must read for everyone.

Kiko's beginnings

What a beginning and yet unanswered questions are left to find out about in other books. I loved the character of Kiko and getting to know who she is and more about her. See what happens to her and about a new job by reading on. You will be glad you did.

love

A novel about love and loss. Friendship and enemies. Time goes swiftly so love while you can. Was a lovely story except for the bully. Time travel right near the end of the book and stops suddenly

Good

I enjoyed reading how Kiko came to be & her evolving self through elfless acts--and how she was directed to her new career! Well done!

A romantic suspense story. Having an ending which is more mysterious or it will be better to say that an ending which will commence the beginning of another romantic suspense story
