Love Just in Time by Flora Speer
A cute read.
The description of the book I am listing below is from the back jacket of the book. I'm adding it because I believe the one on the Goodreads page does not depict this story.

Pure escapism. Some things that make no sense (how can a heroine from the 90's time-travel and have the narrative point out that the cut of a dress is in the style of London when she's never been to London - thus making the reader think the heroine notices the cut) but that is the danger of writing a quick historical novel in strict third person while in a time travel romance. That's a supreme nit-pick that can easily be explained, though. This is the kind of book that was just pure FUN to read, and I loved the various characters. The reformed and hardened madame of a whore house always makes for a great secondary character. Can't wait to salvage more from Flora Speer in the old historical department.

Wow. Don't really know what to say. It was different. A good time pass. Different style or writing. Refreshing but nothing over the top.
