ARC Book Review - It's About Time (Blossom Peak #4) by Harlow James

 





Book Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Book Tropes: Small Town, Enemies to Lovers, Fake Engagement, Best Friends Sister, Slow Burn

This is book #4 in the series. You don't need to read them in order or before as they are each standalones. But knowing who is who in the books makes reading the series amazing. 

We met both Elliott and Dilynne back in book #1. Here book #4 we have a bit of a repeat of what is going on as it shows Elliot's side of and of Dilynne's from the time of the wedding up to current day. 

Elliot Thorne is a lawyer who was just left at the alter. He turns to alcohol to help him get through the pain and tries to forget the wedding and Tori who left him at the alter. Dilynne is there at the beginning of his struggles to help him get ahold of himself and he starts to heal thanks to her. 

Dilynne is the small towns mechanic. She works in a  specialty auto shop where she works on classic cars working to restore them to where they should be. She is usually covered in grease and often forgets the time when she is working on a project. She wants to make a name for herself in the automotive repair business. She loves what she does and wants the industry to realize that she - a woman can rebuild a car just a easy as a man can. Dilynne has had heart ache in the past and she doesn't really do relationships now. But, when she proposes a 'fake' engagement to Elliot she isn't sure if she can open her heart to him with how she's been hurt in the past. 

Once Elliot's ex - Tori comes back into town Elliot knows he needs someone to help him with her. Elliot and DIlynne know just dating or being girlfriend / boyfriend won't deter Tori from his life. They announce they are engaged, which still doesn't knock Tori out of the picture. Once Elliot and Dilynne spend time together they realize they have true feelings for each other. But, will that be enough to hold them together? 

I did receive a free ARC Copy of this book from the Author's Agency book promotion company, Grey's Promotions. I am freely leaving a honest book review.

  Book Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Lila Ferrante, grew up with everyone thinking she had the mind of a 5 year old. Her mother told everyone she was simple minded. Lila grew up as the baby of the family, her older brothers didn’t really spend time with her as she only played with the dolls her mother allowed her to play with. Lila and her mother would go away every summer where she would be tutored in languages, art, history, and she could just be herself on their summer get aways. Lila is deaf but not dumb in the slightest. Lila has been sheltered by everyone in the family and she is now 18 but still doesn’t have a clue about the outside world other than the little bit she been able to explore.  Tiernan Callaghan ‘Deathless’, is very dark and mysterious.

  Book Rating:    We meet most of the same characters from Book 1, Bad Bishop. I recommend reading book 1, Bad Bishop as the characters, history are explained. Book 2, picks up where Bad Bishop leaves off.      Book Tropes:  Enemies to Lovers, Second Chance, Morally grey hero,  Obsessed , Stalker, Slow Burn.  Tierney Callaghan & Achilles  met when they were teenagers and they were mostly together dating in secret through their high school days.
