Dr. Daphne Griffin, a no nonsense/follow the rules kind of woman, is in the first year of her Residency program. After years of concentrating on school, she is now ready to jump back into the dating world and meet the love of her life; to find real romance. She’s leaving the hospital after her shift one afternoon on her bike when a man appears in her way and they collide. She tries to assess if he’s been injured, only to realize that he believes it’s 1885.

This was a time travel romance unlike others I’ve read before. Daphne and Henry’s romance was sweet, though I did feel like the timeline of their romance was a little off. Cute premise and storyline; the was my first novel by this author but won’t be my last.

Thank you to Montlake and Netgalley for the ARC of this novel; all opinions are my own.

Henry and Daphne meet when he travels through a rip in time from 1885 Scotland to 21st century Minneapolis and Daphne crashes into him on her bicycle. An ER doctor, Daphne can't believe that he's here from the past and thinks that Henry must be suffering from a concussion or mental illness or a brain tumor. But, he's logical and coherent and - impossible for the present day - a battery of blood tests show that he's been vaccinated against small pox.

At first, there's lots of static between Daphne and Henry. His views about what women can do are extremely outdated - he can't believe that she's a doctor. He's alarmed by her use of swear words and the fact that her scrubs show her legs. Daphne is a prickly personality and she struggles to explain versus sneer. There's a definite enemies to lovers vibe.

The book shows Henry adapting to the future. He learns how to use a zipper and develops a fondness for milkshakes and boxed mac n cheese. As feelings begin to develop between the couple, he's torn between his desire to remain with Daphne and his feelings of responsibility for his family. There's a lot of research involving astrology and moon phases to try to figure out how to return Henry to the 19th century.

Time for You is narrated by Daphne in the present time and by Henry in the past. While I thought the time travel concept was entertaining and that Henry's reactions to our world were charming, I didn't feel the chemistry between this couple. The transition from sniping to loving was unconvincing.

This is a closed door romance.

I read an advance copy.

Short, sweet and will definitely sweep you off your feet in the first read, Time for You is for the busybody girlies who're just looking to fall in love despite their seemingly hectic/serious lifestyle. I love the male love interest, Henry, so much, he's such a lovely dork throughout the story! And as for the female protagonist, I could relate to her struggles trying to fit in some romance while being a med student/resident. Their banter was especially so fun to read! The time travelling aspect of the story was very interesting, to say the least. Though it might have been a little surprising and off for me when I first read about it, but it was no biggie.

All in all, this is such a great palate cleanser and a good romance that can stand on its own. 3.5 stars rounded to 4!

Thank you Netgalley and Montlake for providing me with this eARC in exchange for an honest review.

This was a very quick and very fun read. Length-wise, at roughly 200 pages, it sits on the border between a short novel and a long novella.

The premise of a 19th-century Scottish gentleman dropping into the life of a 21st-century medical resident had me immediately interested in picking up this book. The characters were compelling and likeable, not just Daphne and Henry, but also Daphne's friends and Henry's family (though I wish we'd seen more of them). The banter between Daphne and Henry - and with Daphne's friends - was laugh-out-lout funny, and the romance was very sweet. The book starts out entirely in Daphne's POV, and then at a certain point it switches to Henry's POV for certain events, before returning to Daphne's POV again in the end. Both their POVs worked well for me. (I would've loved if it had been dual POV throughout, though. I really would've liked to get Henry's initial thoughts on the 21st century, and I would've loved seeing Daphne's side as well during the time period when the narration switched to Henry.) Overall, I wish the book was a little longer and went a little deeper in some places, and took a little more time to explore and expand on some things.

A highly entertaining story, definitely recommend you pick it up if you like rom-coms with the addition of a fantastical element like time travel.

This review will be published to Goodreads on Sep 9th, two weeks before the release date.

This book was a fun read. The plot was so funny and enjoyable. The banter between the two main characters was so enjoyable to read and it had me hooked and I loved how they connected and developed a strong bond,
