In Due Time

The Full Circle Series #2

by Annette G. Anders

A secret love. A yearning for adventure. A fast-paced friends-to-lovers story you can't put down.

Naomi Winters compares every boyfriend to the one man who’s out of her reach. But when wedding bells start ringing around her, she’s determined to go after her own happily-ever-after and make Revan see what’s always been right in front of his eyes.

If only there weren’t a couple of minor problems… He’s one of her best friends, and he thinks of her as a—sister!

Adventures are part of Revan Forrester’s life. The camera is his steady girlfriend, and there’s absolutely no room for diamond rings or diaper duty. Even when the woman he remembers as a pesky girl gives the word adventure a new meaning, he stoically refuses to let conflicting feelings ruin his lifelong friendship with the woman he suddenly sees in a different light.

While they’re having a rousing, emotional tug-of-war, someone else is tired of watching from the sidelines and is quietly shortening the rope. Will Naomi and Revan be able to meet in the middle, or will they be pulled apart forever?

IN DUE TIME is a heartwarming story about the power of lifelong dreams and the courage it takes to pursue them. Join Naomi and Revan on their journey as they discover what truly matters in life and in love.


Publisher's Note: Each book in The Full Circle Series features a different couple in a tight-knit group of friends and can be read standalone within interconnected, series-arching storylines.

Wow! I loved this book even more than the last one!

There are many heartfelt and witty moments during this novel, but one of my favorite scenes has to be the road trip that Naomi and Revan go on with Naomi's great uncle Charlie. I also liked all the wedding planning scenes -- the descriptions of clothing, food, clothing, perfume, etc. -- and of course I adore the picture-perfect ending scenes.

I enjoy these books because they are so realistic and they make you feel like you as the reader are right along with this group of friends... traveling, shopping, eating out, etc.

Many thanks to the author for my copy! :)

In the second book of the series, readers follow Revan and Naomi’s story and I think it’s going to be familiar (and fun) for many who have been in this similar situation. As it answers the romantic trope, can friends be lovers? Well written, realistic, and even a little steamy. I loved the message of this story: going after what you want is not only important, but it’s never too late.

2nd in the Full Circle series. Revan and Naomi don’t disappoint with their banter and humor. Gram Annie is sneaky and the road trip brings to life the wonderful south and history that makes you want to travel there. A hint of danger adds a bit to the story without making it a suspense romance. Can’t wait for Joe and Luca’s story!

Loved, loved

In Due Time was such a fun book for me to read. Revan and Naomi had been friends for a long time and Revan was a slow learner that there could be so much more. Planning for their friends Stella and David's wedding did the trick. I loved the way Annette made the first book Turn Back Time flow right into In Due Time with a continuation of all of the characters and getting to know all of them even better! Looking forward to another book from her. I think all ages will enjoy reading In Due Time!

Friendships and romance

The first book in this series was Stella and David’s story while this book is the story of Naomi and Revan. Naomi and Raven have been friends since their teenage years and are now thirty somethings who are trying to cross the line from friendship to something much deeper but neither can figure out how to go about it or even admit this desire to the other one. Good story with likeable characters.

In Due Time by author, Annette G. Anders The Full Circle Series Book 2

In Due Time is a wonderfully written, modern day style romance full of the wit, courage and struggles of true love that begins to blossom between childhood friends Naomi and Revan, along with the trials and tribulations they face not only in trying to deny it, but eventually by moving forward in trying to figure it all out.

Ms. Anders takes the reader even deeper into the narrative with her realistic characters and the added bonus if its historical elements, beautiful setting, and laugh out loud moments.

This 2nd book in the series is a great read for anyone looking for the heartfelt, the sad, and the spicy. In other words, it has it all! A story that will hold your interest and entertain with each flip of the page, and it most certainly won't disappoint.

Although In Due Time can be read as a standalone, you may want to run out to pick up all 3 books in this Award-Winning series~ it's that good!

I thank the author for bringing this newest addition to life. One I highly recommend.

In Due Time is the 2nd book in the Full Circle Series. I would recommend you also read Turn Back Time but this can be read as a stand alone. This book follows the story of Noemi and Raven. They have known each other since before Noemi was 16, however Noemi has been in love with Raven since she was 16. In Turn Back Time Raven told Noemi he loves her like a sister. Noemi has not been able to get that out of her mind and is trying to move on but she can't. Raven starts to have feelings for Noemi but he doesn't want to ruin their friendship. This is about courtship and going after what you really want. This is truly a love story. This is a very exciting romantic and even a little steamy quick, can't put down read. This is very enjoyable and I can't wait to read the 3rd in the series.

I loved reading this book. I like the characters and looked forward to the progression of some relationships.
Sometimes it is very difficult to say how we really feel about people we know in our lives. Helping family and friends can be a very enjoyable experience, if we think beyond our selves. I recommend this book and also the first in the series, Turn Back Time. And look forward to the third book.

In Due Time is an engaging modern-day tale about destiny and a love that was meant to be.

I've got to tell you I just read an ARC copy of this book. The second in the series by Annette G. Anders, Author . It was fantastic! It continues from the previous book but I'm sure you can read it as a standalone as well as the references to the previous book are well defined. Naomi and Revan have known each other since their early teen years, without really knowing each other. Their friends are all developing their careers and relationships and they are still lifelong best friends and Rev thinks of her as a sister. Can their friendship develop into more? Can Naomi be spared from a stalker? Does Gram Anne have insight into the future? Check out this exciting and sometimes steamy book to see what all these friends do

[Michele Anne Waite · Rating 5 out of 5]

In Due Time by Annette G Anders will have you chuckling out loud on more than one occasion. In this second book in The Full Circle Series, Annette gives us a more thorough look into the lives of both Naomi and Revan. I’ve always thought Naomi as a little pushy and self-absorbed, always getting her way! In this story, Naomi is still her pushy self, but because the underlying feelings are visible, I found her “pushiness” to make me chuckle, especially when she doesn’t always get her way. As in Annette’s first book in this series, Turn Back Time, there’s adrenaline fueled events that create page-turning fervor. I thoroughly enjoyed the love, laughter, and tears in In Due Time by Annette G Anders and highly recommend it.

I received an “Author Proof Copy” in return for my unbiased review.

Review
In Due Time.
I have read the first book in this series, Turn Back Time, and really enjoyed it, so I was excited to read this one, Book 2 and I’m happy to say the author did not disappoint. Naomi was my favorite character in the previous book and I enjoyed reconnecting with her and Raven.
This is their story. They have been best friends for years and refer to each other as family, but as deeper emotions unfold, each wonders how they should react.

This was an enjoyable read with characters that I love. The author has a great writing style. The words flow beautifully and the story is easy to read. The characters are well defined, and each has a distinguished personality.
I look forward to reading book 3.

[Peggy · Rating 5 out of 5]

I just finished my ARC book and it was a great read!

Naomi’s boyfriends just don’t measure up to the man she truly wants named Revan whom she’s known since she was a young girl.
As her friends start getting married and settling down, Naomi decides Revan needs to see what stands before him is not the girl he saw as his sister, but a grown beautiful woman. Can their friendship survive a wonderful love story?
They begin an emotional relationship however the “other woman” also sees Revan for who he is.
Will Naomi be his bride or will she settle on a lifelong friendship.
I read this book with great intensity it is a page turner and is definitely a five-star!

I loved this story! In Due Time is sad, it's sweet, it's funny and spicy too! I had a hard time putting down this "friendly" romance. I couldn't help but route for them to open their eyes and figure it out - see what's right in front of them. Annette G. Anders does an excellent job bringing these characters to life, they feel so real. The chemistry between Revan and Naomi pulls you in and keeps you wanting more. I can't wait for book #3 in the Full Circle Series.

[Kimberly Myers · Rating 5 out of 5]

The Full Circle Series Book 2. I absolutely loved reading Revan and Naomi story! I couldn't put this book down, I wanted to find out how their relationship ended. It had me laughing and wanting more of their banter. I loved the nicknames they give each other, along with the road trip. I cant wait for book 3 to come out.

[Dina Eagles · Rating 5 out of 5]

I think I loved Revan and Naomi’s love story even more than Stella and David’s. Their cat and mouse game of will they or won’t they kept me turning pages way past my bedtime!
Looking forward to the next book in this great series!

It is a really good book and It is really interesting.

[Nancy J Manke · Rating 5 out of 5]

Loved following the characters that were introduced in the first of the series! So entertaining and and definitely a “can’t put down” read! Can’t wait for the next in the series

[Gwen|| Bookish Blondie · Rating 4 out of 5]

I truly enjoyed this cute friends to lovers story. There is so much angst/pining between the two and the chemistry is off the charts for Revan and Naomi.
