Losing oneself in a beautiful romance story is always a perfect way to end a day. This was my experience reading this book.

In Due Time by Annette G. Anders is a romance novel of a girl that struggles with unrequited love for a while, watching years roll past while in love with a guy that didn't seem to notice her.

Naomi has been in love with Revan, one of her oldest friends from her teenage years. Now in her thirties, she's tired of struggling to get him to notice her. When their friends choose both to be the best man and maid of honor, she is absolutely against it. She is, however, left with no choice but to work closely with him. She tries to deal with her emotions and hide the love she'd always felt for him. Revan had always had a commitment fear until he started noticing little details about Naomi and experiencing inappropriate thoughts about her. Not wanting to lose his long friendship with her, he attempts to fight it. With Naomi almost giving up hope and Revan struggling, they're looking doomed never to cross the line of friendship. Did they open up to each other?

I really enjoyed reading this book and found a lot of positive aspects in it. First, the book was written in a straightforward and enjoyable language, and it made reading it beautiful. Again, the book made a lot of references to historical places and locations; for instance, it mentioned The Magnolia Plantations, which has a lot of history and is the oldest public garden in America. It also mentioned The Tredegar Ironworks, a factory founded in 1837 and supplied about half of the artillery used by the Confederates State Army during the war. I found all these quite enlightening. Finally, this book was wonderfully edited, and I could find no errors in it. I think the author deserves commendation for this.

The only negative aspect I found in the book, though, was the conversations of the characters. They sometimes sounded too stilted for people who had been close friends for years.

I give this book a rating of 4 out of 4 stars. I did not rate it lower because the negative aspects did not detract from the book, and I had an amazingly wonderful experience reading it.

I would recommend this book to anyone that loves romance books. If you are looking for a good and satisfying read, this book is for you.

Straightforward novels are something I'm always on the lookout for. I'm sure it was great and looking forward to trying it. Thanks for the great review!

Romance can be exciting, especially when both lovers experience requited love. I sincerely hope that's what Naomi and Revan experience at the end. Thanks for your review.

Nothing is more painful than having love in your heart for someone and not being able to express this feeling. I hope it's a happily ever after piece. I'd love to find out.

Love to read this kind of story,like romance and the story behind it reflects who you are in the real life..

Unrequited love are the most painful. Most people are afraid of rejection or commitment. I hope Revan takes a bold step. Nice review.

I always love to read romantic stories, and these one is really good to read. Its really hard to hide your feelings with someone just because your afraid of rejections.

One of the worse things that can happen to an individual is unrequited love. Not always easy to handle such situations. Thanks for the review

Would be interesting to find out if they eventually opened up to each other. Great review.

I understand the pain of unrequited love, noami must have felt hurt since Raven didn't noticed It, I look forward to reading this book wanting to know and understand why Raven was holding back his love for Naomi....hoping to have a beautiful ending

I'm always ready to pick up a good romantic piece at any time, and from what I can see from your review, this storyline is a beautiful one. I really hope that they reveal their feelings to each other at the end.

Romance fiction is my most preferred genre. Revan and Naomi love seem like a good one to read about.
