So boring!

[JR · Rating 3 out of 5]

Stating it upfront: this is not one of Ruth Clemence's better novels.

The protagonists - heroine journalist and hero photographer - are apart too much and the heroine's sister/OW is a proper pain in posterior who hogs page space. There were far too many random OM as well - none of whom the heroine seemed able to articulate her feelings for, aside from an odd banal observation that they were 'nice'.

The action (such as it is) moves from Venice-to-London-to-Wales-to-London-to-the-Continent and back to London, but that doesn't conceal the fact it's a pretty thin plot line AND the novel is a closely typed 180+ pages...

I'm rating 'A Time To Love' a three-star-vintage romance read. In terms of this author, I'd opt instead for Spread Your Wings or A Cure with Kindness.

So much OW. There were more than 300 mentions of her in the book!
