It's Different This Time is a refreshing second chance romance! We meet June & Adam, who by a chance encounter end up as roommates in NYC. They were inseperable as best friends... until they weren't. Five years later, June has returned to NYC and learns that she and Adam will own the property they previously shared. They must wait 30 days before the paperwork can be signed and while they contemplate what they'd like to do with the property, they decide to stay there. All of the old wounds from unresolved feelings and conversation resurface and forces them to confront their choices of the past.
June & Adam's story is told over a dual timeline. We are able to see how their friendship/relationship foundation was laid, while simultaneously watching how they navigate this new circumstance. There is some angst, but June & Adam quickly and seamlessly fall back into old routines. There are still hiccups and rational fears that paralyze them, but they are able to find their way back to each other.
Joss Richard does a phenomenal job of storytelling. As a reader, I was able to absorb the story without feeling like my head was spinning. The pacing of the book flowed well, the spice was not overdone, but honestly for what we did get, it was perfection! The chemistry of the characters with the slow burn build-up, was chef's kiss!
