Times Square Kindle Edition

"Once in a while right in the middle of an ordinary life, love gives us a fairy tale."

I saw that quote about fairy tales embroidered on a decorative pillow at a home decorating store. Honestly, it pissed me off. Retail propaganda aimed to promote sales when any single girl in the city could tell them they’d sell more if they’d offer Keep Your Pants On, Asshole instead.

But it’s fine. I don’t have room for decorative pillows anyway.

And I don’t have time for distractions.

Which is why I’m ignoring the distraction staring at me right now. The one who looks like he belongs on a billboard campaign. The one with the full lips and the cocky smile. The one refusing to look away even when I give him my best "no way" scowl.

The one headed in my direction. Right now.

"Once in a while, right in the middle of an ordinary life, love gives us a fairy tale."

Originally included in the Love in Transit anthology, Times Square by Jana Aston is now available separately. With an enjoyable storyline and fun characters, it’s a delicious treat that is funny, sweet, and sexy.

Lauren had her life all figured out. She would graduate from University of Iowa, move to New York City to be with her fiancé, get a great job, get married, and live happily ever after. What she didn't figure in was the fact that her fiancé was a cheating jerk. After her world crumbles she is stuck with a low paying job, living with three roommates in a one-bedroom apartment, and cynical view of love... until Max walks into her life. He is a breath of fresh air with his addictive energy and enthusiasm, and soon she discovers that maybe fairy tales do exist.

I really enjoyed this novella. It’s a lighthearted read that is sure to put a smile on your face. The story was entertaining and I adored Lauren and Max. Even after the heartbreak she has suffered, Lauren is still lively, funny, and outgoing, and I liked her from the get go. Her internal pep talks are hilarious and the things that come out of her mouth are amusing. Max is adorable and I fell for him from the start. He has a good heart and is considerate, and I loved that he knew how to treat a woman. He was down to earth while still having a wild side. He was perfect for Lauren and the only one who could "put a smile on [her] face during a really craptastic day." I loved his energy and optimism when it came to Lauren and everything he did was either sweet, swoony, or sexy, or a combination of all three.

I enjoyed the flirty banter between Lauren and Max, and the nice buildup of sexual tension and their intense chemistry added the heat to this novella. While their relationship was hot and heavy at times, it still had the playful parts that had me grinning. As a couple, I loved that they were functional and mature. There wasn't any stupid between them even when some secrets were revealed that could potentially create a major rift between them. It was refreshing when they acted like adults and faced things head on. Overall, Times Square was a fun, quick read that is sure to make you giddy and warm inside.

"Your smile changed my life.
...Your love changed mine."

Enjoyably direct, this book has swoony main characters.
Fun and crazy in a relatable way female lead, and the men who adore them seems to be Jana Aston's go to.
How good does it feel when a guy treats a girl right?
This is now all I want to read...
No pompously pandering daddu complexes but just awesome guys who tease and are playful.
momentarily expecting her books to be optioned for major movies.

I am a die hard Jana Aston fan, I've read everything she's published so far. I love the quirky and funny she injects into each of her books. The things that come out of her character's mouths? Yeah, bust a gut laughing, can't get enough!! I first read Jana's Times Square story when she released it in the Love in Transit anthology. I really loved Max and Lauren. I loved the way they first meet. I shook my head a lot and smiled all the way through their story.

When she announced she was releasing it in its own book, I told myself I was buying it because I love Jana and want to support her in every way, but really I bought it again just so I could read it again, and shake my head and smile all over again. These two people may have met in a very unconventional way, but their relationship followed the standard boy meets girl, boy asks girl out, boy and girl get their freak on....you get my drift.

For only being 23, Lauren was pretty mature and had a really good head on her shoulders. Max made me swoon hard!! And if I ever move to NYC, I am so going to be a squatter in his apartment. Don't tell him though.

Reading this a second time, I was reminded again of Jana's signature funnyisms with the things that came out of Lauren's mouth. I would not be opposed at all if Jana ever wanted to expand their story, or you know, insert them as side characters in some future book? That would be A-Okay with me.

When I first read the blurb for this anthology, I was very excited. What a great concept. One blurb, six authors all with their own version of the story. What a great idea!

This review is specifically for Times Square by Jana Aston. I loved this story and loved Lauren and Max. For a novella, Jana gives us a story we are quickly drawn too and characters to love.

Lauren is a hot mess. She came to New York with big dreams. The dreams are still there, but getting to them seems so far away. Even so she is determined. I loved her character so much. She moved forward with a ferocity and one-mindedness that never let her give up hope.

Max was just so lovable from the start. Let's just say Lauren kept putting her foot in her mouth, but Max just went with the flow. Watching them together was so sweet and charming. He was strong and successful, but even so he was sweet, romantic and easygoing. You just love Max from the beginning.

I loved their story. They were great together, had chemistry and bonded so well. This is a another must read from Jana Aston. We laugh, we cheer and we fall in love with both the story and characters. Go read this now!

I am currently working my way through the other five stories and am loving them as well. More to come on those.

Happy reading!

Eu adorei todos os livros que eu li da autora Jana Aston e com Times Square não foi diferente.
A obra, na verdade, é um conto. Quinze românticos, se#y e divertidos capítulos de uma estória de amor com personagens adoráveis e charmosos.
Como sempre acontece, a autora capricha na composição dos personagens. Max e Lauren representam perfeitamente um casal na flor da juventude, quando a vida floresce e o futuro está logo ali na frente, pronto para ser conquistado. Sem drama exagerado, a trama flui sem tropeços. O único senão é que os 15 capítulos deixam um gosto de “quero mais”.
Adorei e recomendo para os leitores que desejam uma leitura rápida e agradável .

Klar, es ist kurz, aber mehr braucht die Geschichte nicht. Es ist sogar ziemlich erfrischend, dass es kein Drama am Ende der Geschichte gibt. Alles irgendwie normal und erwachsen. Eine gute Abwechslung.
