The Review
I love a good Romance & this one was great, I loved the characters in this one, The author really hit the nail on the head with the characters, I loved Mike & Jaden, They were perfectly compatible, They had some great laughs, Tim (The brother) was the perfect dinner companion, as he kept disappearing to chat up some chick, which gave Mike time to talk to Jaden or to write the notes for his new book, I loved the interaction between them all, I really loved Kyle, The chef, he was the real comic element for me, I thought he was brilliant, I believe in Kismet, do you? Recommended to all who appreciate a good romance, 4.5/5

ARC for Review.. I also bought a copy to support the Author. Thanks so much for the wonderful story Elizabeth.
OMG!! This story is brilliant and enlightening.. Multi-layered, fast-paced, original and fresh. I must say that Elizabeth A Lance is fast becoming a force to be wreckened with in the literary world. The story kept me wondering how it was going to end with all that was going on in it, it came together so well making this one of my favorites, full of passion, and so wonderfully told.
A writer who meets his dream girl, then a story hits him like a ton of bricks, causing him to slip in and out of his creative mode, because his Muse won't leave him be, while enjoying the company of his brother, Tim, and watching Jaden sashay by. Jaden is having problems with visions at the same time.. What are these visions Jaden has and why? OMGosh this is where it really gets good. I don't like spoillers because they can ruin a book.
The characters are likable, believable, and fun. The world building is amazing as you are taking from one scene to the next in an easy to follow passionate writng style. I Loved it.

Beautiful story by Elizabeth A. Lance. A Must-Read and I highly recommend it. It's perfect for Young Adults but the older generations will be just as entertained by this love story.
The story follows Mike and Jaden, two people who have never met but cross paths in the bar she works in. She is the woman of Mike's dreams and the doppelganger of the leading lady in his novels. He can't take his eyes off her.
There's a lot going on at once. While stories are coming to Mike, Jaden's having some overwhelming visions of her own. The only thing either of them are certain of is that they want to get to know each other better.
It's a great book that holds your interest through the whole duration.

10*s. I recieved an eARC copy of this book directly from the author in return for an honest review.
What would you do if you found your soul mate that you dream about and write about? This is an awesome story of Mike and Jade, never met before until the night Mike walks into the same bar Jade works for. This is an awesome YA story but adults will fall in love with it too!! I absolutely loved the story line and how well it was written!! I really love the characters in this story!! So vibrant and intriguing and vivacious and so makes me want to read it again!! Thank you, Elizabeth Lance, for the opportunity to fall in love with this story!!

Dizzy but fun read! What really happens when two people fall in love at first site? Well, for Mike and Jaden it may have not be the first time they have "met", but it is fate that they fall in love. The author uses different points of view and combines different stories into one great romance. Suburb detail of each moment drew me right into the story and it felt like I was right there.

I usually read Ms. Lance's historical romances and most recently her Agents for the Crown series. I'm just recently dipping into her paranormal books. I have to say, she is a most brilliant writer for being able to write such different genres and with such great originality and creativity. The characters were very well-developed and I enjoyed getting to know them. When Mike and Jaden meet it is more than love at first sight - they have such a strong connection to each other. They are destined to be together. This is definitely a sweet story of fate stepping in and soul mates finding each other. This book definitely kept my interest from beginning to end and I am looking forward to reading more of this genre! I definitely recommend!

Two people who are supposed to be together evidently, as they both have hidden stories about the other. He is coming up with a new book and she is having visions of their possible future. The characters are fantastic, even the brother and the friends as they add dimension to what is happening. The locale adds so spice with all the background. Loved the story and the outcome, but was unsure of the outcome for a while as the twists happened. Now on to read more from this author.

This is a sweet romance between two characters that were destined to be together. I loved that both Mike and Jaden had each had their own way of knowing that they were meant to be. I loved the storyline, the characters and the perfect ending. I voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book.

2.5 Stars
Okay, so I like it when creative people think out of the box, writers, musicians, artist whatever their craft; fresh ideas or a new take on an old theme is always a good thing… right? Yes right, so I instantly award 1 star for writing 3 stories in one, all at the same time. The problem is this book just didn’t work for me…Why?…..
Well, the base story follows Mike and his brother Tim as they go out for dinner. It turns out to be a very long winded and eventful meal! While Mike spots Jaden and instantly realises she is the woman of his dreams, Tim connects with the female half of the bars occupants….well not all of them but a lot of them, all in the space of a great steak and an apple pie. Every five minutes Mike goes off into a trance, head-writing his next novel with Jaden as his main character, and each time Jaden leaves Mike and Tim’s table she goes into a trance having visions of her future with Mike in various situations all with different outcomes.
I’d like to say that all three stories were amazing and that I never once got irritated while I was reading, but, they weren’t and I did. None of it felt realistic, Mike and Jaden spent the whole evening in their own worlds, yet they managed to fall madly and desperately in love during the few words they exchanged while ordering food. It really was far fetched even for a romance novel.
Mikes book idea story had a little intrigue but read like the narration from an old Mike Hammer TV show, the way it was written made it feel dated and almost comic like.
I wasn’t sure what to make of Jadens ‘visions’ was she psychic? We were never really told. And each vision she had was different until finally she imagined or should I say had the ‘premonition of’ the outcome she actually wanted.
The whole thing for me felt out of sink, with unnatural dialogue, unrealistic plot lines and overall it was disjointed and bitty.
