CoffeeTimeRomance.com, Reviewer LeeAnn: 4 cups
I really enjoyed reading this story. Drake is the kind of man every girl would like to call her own. Sarah is a strong willed twenty-first century female that today's woman can relate to. The entire story is wonderfully written! Kelly Kirch creates a world which pulls in the reader and then refuses to let go. This is a romantic tale that you will want to read again and again.

Early 1800’s England through the eyes of a modern woman…
Time for Love is a beautiful love story. I have always enjoyed romances that transport me back to the days lords and ladies. Kally Kirch has a talent for mixing humor and romance. The characters were lively. My favorite, of course, was Sarah. Nigel added more humor. All stories should have such a happy ending.
NightOwlRomances.com, Reviewer Chris: 3.5 – An excellent Read
Fired to make way for a short-skirted bimbo with nails like a dragon’s claw, Sarah is on her way home in the back of a taxi with her box of belongings, including a snow globe which was a gift from her grandmother which is strangely engraved with her name, dated 1812.
Sarah dreams as she stares at the globe, dreams of a simpler time; a simpler life; one without her current responsibilities of an unmarried pregnant teenage sister; one with her own true love. She dozes off into an unnatural sleep, completely missing the car accident that her taxi is involved in.
Next time Sarah opens her eyes a gorgeous man is holding her, and she has somehow acquired an English accent. Her name is Lady Sarah Billington, and she is a widow and chaperone for her young cousin Alexandra.
Is this real, or are her nighttime visions of a woman in a hospital bed the reality? It bothered me about where the real Lady Billington went, but the author took care of that nicely. Join Sarah on her journey of discovery of a true home, a real family, and a love of her own.
I really enjoyed the premise of this book, especially the mysterious tie to the past via the snow globe. All in all, a very enjoyable read.

Until Sarah started to disturb his peace.

Kelly Kirch's debut novel is a wonderful tale of a contemporary woman who has been thrown into the past. Kelly's pacing and character development are spot-on and the plot will keep you reading until you reach the satisfying, and surprising, conclusion. Time for Love is available now for download at www.cerridwenpress.com.
The reviewer’s personal note: Kelly, I loved reading the book and am so glad I have a copy. It was well done with enough little plot twists to make this more than just a time travel. I really enjoyed your use of secondary characters.

I'm impressed and delighted. This is great story so well written and comparable to NY bestseller Stephanie Laurens' s books. I love the characters, the pace, the many twists, emotion and sensual tension. And your voice kept me reading very late at night.

My score--Very imaginative take on time travel with a page turner ending!
Peer Review, Amarinda Jones author of Seducing Celestine, Mad About Mirabelle (Ellorascave.com)
Time For Love by Kelly Kirch (Cerridwen Press) – at the end of this book I went ‘awww, that’s so sweet’ – yes completely unlike me but good romance books give me that reaction. Time For Love is true romance with a time travel twist. It’s an excellent story about wanting to be with someone and knowing that maybe it can never be.
Peer Review, Jacqueline Roth author of Measure of Healing (CerridwenPress.com)
This is a great Regency era with a time travel twist.
Sarah is transported back in time and into the life of a Regency era widow who is supposed to be acting as the chaperone to a young cousin in her first London season. As difficult as that may be, it’s complicated by her growing attraction to a known rake, Lord Hayworth. He’s sexy, seductive and obviously attracted to Sarah. Unfortunately he’s also very much promised to her young cousin.
Sarah and Drake are great characters. You want to cheer for them. Well done, Ms. Kirch!

Time for Love by Kelly Kirch. I'll admit, I've never been a fan of regency romances, however, Kelly has changed all that - at least where her books are concerned. I loved watching Blake and Sarah fight for their HEA. The last part pf the book had me on the edge of my seat wondering how Kelly was going to get her characters out of the nightmare she'd thrown them into and one scene in particular had me in tears...but I'm not going to spoil it by saying which one. I will say that if you want a great read with a completely sastifying ending, do yourself a favor and read Time for Love!
