ALL THIS TIME by Harlow James is AVAILABLE NOW
Blurb:
Fletcher Adams is not just the man that stole my heart at fifteen and never gave it back.
He’s also my brother’s best friend, and now one of the most famous players in the NFL.
But now he’s back in Blossom Peak for our mutual friend’s wedding, and guess who are the maid of honor and best man?
That would be us.
I’ve spent the past twelve years ignoring what happened between us that fateful night, and avoiding him as much as possible when he did pop into town to visit.
But now he’s everywhere.
In my salon getting a massage to support my business.
Participating in yoga to support my family’s winery.
And even hacking into my phone to monitor my glucose—which makes me furious and also a little bit weak in the knees.
Then he finds out that my ex-fiancé never satisfied me in the bedroom, so he instantly volunteers for the job.
Turns out time couldn’t snuff the flames that still burned between us.
But Fletcher has demons from his past he hasn’t faced, the kind that you can try to bury but always manage to get washed up in a storm.
And this storm just might destroy us both.
There’s one thing we can’t deny however, even though we try—feelings still matter, even after all this time.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 5 Stars
All This Time is a wonderful start to a new series by Harlow James. I absolutely loved the journey that Laney and Fletcher went through in this second-chance, always-been-you romance, but I also adored the friendships between Fletcher and the rest of the guys!
Twelve years after Fletcher broke Laney’s heart, he is back in town to be the best man as she is the maid of honor at a mutual friend’s wedding. Lucifer, as Laney calls him, is the last person she wants to be doing wedding prep left, and it isn’t long before she realizes that the hate she feels is a thin cover-up for the love she still has for him.
In chapters that flash back to when they were teenagers, we learn that Laney and her brother’s best friend had a secret friendship that no one knew about. She was his safe place, his angel, who got him through a very difficult home life. (And oh, how my heart hurt for Fletcher.) But Fletcher had a pact with his friends never to go for another’s sister, despite the feelings he had for her, then a miscommunication on a night that changed Laney’s life led her to not speak to him for over a decade.
Now that they are forced to face their past, can Laney and Fletcher find a way to move forward together?
Teddy Hamilton and Samantha Brentmoor did a great job with the narration of this book. This is like the fourth TH audio I’ve listened to in a row, and I could happily listen to him narrate a hundred more!
The friendships between Fletcher, Laney’s brother Rhonan, and the rest of the crew were also such an integral part of this story. And when the group hits a rocky point, I loved how Rhonan’s dad shows up with his band of brothers in an intervention to show the younger generation that they need to rely on one another. In the epilogue, HJ nicely set up the next book in this series, and I am really looking forward to seeing the other guys in the Blackjack Brotherhood fall in love!
I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.
Meet Harlow James:
Steamy Romance Author
Harlow James is a pen name I use to protect my identity as a high school teacher. Keeping those two roles in my life separate is necessary, but also fun! It’s like a live two lives, and anonymity gives me the opportunity to be bold and take risks in my stories.
I stumbled upon romance novels in 2018 when I picked up Driven by Kristy Bromberg, and I was obsessed. I had just lost my grandmother too, so reading offered me an escape from reality and a chance to grieve on my own terms.
About a year later, I got an idea for my own book and started writing. I researched self-publishing and jumped in with both feet. I had no idea what I was doing!
But now I’ve built a business and hobby that I LOVE! I have an outlet that’s just for me. When I write, I’m not a mom, a wife, or a teacher…I’m a woman who gets to tell stories that no one else can.
My books are the perfect blend of heartwarming moments, full-bellied laughs, and PLENTY of steam to melt your Kindles 😉 And there are always elements of me sprinkled in to every character and story that I write.
When I’m not writing you can find me reading or spending time in my kitchen. I love to cook and feed my family and friends. Otherwise, you can find me watching comedy specials with my husband, camping with our kids, or taking naps. I live for naps 😉
