"An English professor falls for a handsome younger man"

Professor of Victorian literature Antigone "Annie" Armstrong has always been the good girl, trying in vain to live up to the impossible standards of her parents. Though she longs to shed her inhibitions, Annie knows that she's nothing compared to her mother. Not smart enough, not pretty enough. As much as she desires the handyman restoring the house Annie inherited from her grandmother, Annie knows he's too young and too handsome for a wallflower like her. Right?

Jack-of-all-trades Kevin Turner never has found a place to call home. After years of struggling in school, his dyslexia has limited his job options to manual labor tasks. If he can't read, he has no business with an English professor. Kevin does have an analytical mind; he just hasn't used it much. As Kevin learns about the woman behind the cool façade, he realizes that although they have nothing in common, he wants Annie. And his family falls in love with her as well. What is a man determined to set down no roots to do?

Two people with self-confidence problems learn to deal with their issues with the help of the other. Kevin's dyslexia doesn't make him stupid and Annie's shyness doesn't mean she's unattractive. But no promises have been made. Is this a fling or something more? Neither wants to pressure the other into more than they're willing to give. Unless Kevin or Annie speaks up, their relationship is fated to fade away like the spring wildflowers.

The final book in the Time series, THE TIME OF HER LIFE features a slightly older heroine with a handsome young man. We get a glimpse at the lives of the other Turner siblings as they deal with their own marriages and children. Fans of the series shouldn't miss the conclusion to Ms. Harte's contemporary series.

Summary

No two ways about it, Dr. Antigone Armstrong, professor of Victorian literature, has the hots for her handyman. He's young, he's gorgeous, and he's VERY good with his hands...at least when it comes to renovating her house. When it comes to relationships, though, Annie constantly flunks out, and getting naked with her hunky handyman is out of the question.

Kevin Turner doesn't quite know what to do. Annie Armstrong is way out of his league. She's smart, she's sexy, and to his amazement, she actually takes him seriously. Kevin has managed to avoid commitment, but something about the oh-so-proper Dr. Armstrong is causing second thoughts

Kevin and Annie know their fantasies about each other will never come true. But when dreams collide with reality, both of them are in for the time of their lives.

Revisit the Turner family—Jen, Cee Cee, Molly, and now Kevin—as Treva Harte finishes up her charming Time series with Annie Armstrong and Kevin's story of love as only a Turner can do it—one that will last throughout Time.
