Life can change in a flash. Marriage and a baby wasn’t Amy Forsythe’s college plan. After a shotgun marriage glued together by her son, she’s convinced that love isn’t meant for her. Now nearing 40 and single for the first time since her senior prom, her friends are pushing her to date. Her teenager isn’t thrilled by the idea and neither is Amy.

Silver fox Thomas Popov isn’t looking for "the one". He found her decades ago. And fell apart when she died. At 53 with a new job, a new city, and an empty nest, he’s focused on climbing the corporate ladder.

When a softball accident lands Thomas in Amy’s dental chair, sparks fly. Lightning doesn’t strike twice. But love might. This time is different.

Once again, Mae Wood hits it out of the park!

Reviewed in the United States on October 12, 2017

Running more or less concurrently with Plus One, This Time is Different reads as a standalone within the Pig & Barley universe. We got to meet Amy a little in Plus One, but now we get to hear her story. What was nice was that Amy was never portrayed as the "evil ex" in Plus One so there was no need to work through a redemption storyline. And this has to be one of the more original "meet cutes" I've had the pleasure to have read. ☺

Frankly, I love that this is a story for "grown ups" - and I don't just mean that the characters are Gen Xers. These characters are normal people with real life issues - work, kids, body image concerns, normal insecurities, etc.. There are no 20-year old billionaires, crazy plot twists or over-the top story lines to contend with. Listen, I enjoy reading about younger characters as well, but there is something refreshing about reading a story and really, truly being able to relate to so much of what the characters are experiencing or have experienced. I might not have a teenager (yet) or be divorced (thankfully), but I "get" where Amy and Thomas are coming from in so many ways and their story really resonated with me.

I can't wait to see what Wood serves up next!! I have hopes that there are future books about some of the supporting characters we've been introduced to so far. I'll be keeping my fingers crossed that we'll get a chance to read more about them sometime soon.

**An ARC was provided by the author for an honest review but I loved it so much I purchased a copy as well**

Different and wonderful and a MUST read.

Reviewed in the United States on October 12, 2017

'Happy and bittersweet. This is what it feels like and I’d never had it before. Soul-consuming and utterly transcendent.'

It’s not just this time that’s different—this book is different too. In a needed, wonderful way.

It’s life after kids and second chances at happily ever after. It’s messy relationships and uncertain beginnings—and endings. It’s real life in all its imperfect glory, and it’s perfect because of that.

This Time Is Different takes smart, sexy characters—Gen Xers—and proves that the dreaded 4-0 doesn’t mean that romance is dead. Not when there’s a silver fox waiting to charm you.

You guys, THOMAS. I wanna shiver all over just thinking about him—about his kind, happy personality, which has enough hallmarks of alphaness to be downright hot without ever getting into OTT territory.

And that’s the way of this entire book. Mae Wood brought her A+++ game to this story, lacing humor with heat and real life with romance. It’s mature and brilliant and utterly addictive—I was 50% through before I knew it, and though I tried to slow down and savor it, I couldn’t stop myself from reading, devouring each and every word.

My only gripe? It’s over. I’m finished. This Time Is Different has an ending that fulfills and satisfies and rewards, but I have no shame in my greed. I want more. I want six epilogues, two novellas, and a short story. Please and thank you.

But until then, I’ll take more books like this one—smart, sexy and imperfectly perfect. (And written by Ms. Wood.)

'And it wasn’t just fire in his eyes but an uncontrolled and uncontrollable chemical reaction, burning bright and hot and white like magnesium.'

Wonderfully amazing book

Reviewed in the United States on October 12, 2017

I am not good with words so I'll get right to the point. You NEED to read this book. This Time is Different is such a feel good, heart felt, love story with simmering heat. There is no drama - only real life situations. I felt so many emotions while reading this book but mainly just happiness. I smiled through 90% of the book. Truly smiled while I read. I also cried. I have NEVER cried while reading a book before - not because there was sadness - but because there was emotion. Emotions that I've lived through and could relate to.

This may be the most real book I've ever read. Amy and Thomas are people I can picture in real life. I see myself in their kids. I see my parents in them. I see my friends in their friends.

If you've read Plus One by Mae - this is the perfect follow up. Getting to see Bert again and the other side to their divorce was wonderful. Getting to read about Grady again and also a glimpse at Trip and Marissa.

Get this book. You will not be disappointed - I promise.

Gen-x romance you need to read!

Reviewed in the United States on October 12, 2017

Verified Purchase

This book is a stand alone book but intertwines with Mae Wood's previous books. It is sweet, funny and a heart warming love story. Amy has been married before and isn't looking to go down that path again. Thomas is a widower who is certain he's experienced his one true love. They find out together that, This Time is Different.

This story will be the type of book that I'll reach for over and over. It's a palate cleanser for life! When the world gets too big, I'll be able to escape back into a love story that embraces being a love story. I grinned throughout the book. It just feels good to read it and it rests easily on your heart.

There's no added drama for the sake of shaking up a story, real life with teens has enough drama on its own. There's no big break up scene over some stupid miscommunication, no villains, and no kidnappings! And before you think this book could be boring without all the angst and drama remember you do get dad jokes, cat humor, and smoking sexy times.

This is a grown up love story between mature adults with real life responsibilities and real life scenarios. Mae Wood has done it again! I read her books and can see myself in them living my own happily ever after. I highly recommend this Gen-X romance.

A Witty Second Chance at a Grown up relationship

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 2, 2018

Verified Purchase

I have read Plus One and loved it (and Bert) so I was looking forward to reading about Amy and how things turned out for her.

This is a second chance for Amy (divorced, single-mum) and Thomas (Widower with grown up children) and I love how both characters are in a place in their lives where they aren't particularly looking for something, they are both successful and settled in their careers and want for nothing. The fact that they are thrown together and decide to act on their attraction rather than waste time is a definite plus for me.

This is a look at a real grown-up relationship with the complication of blending families and managing feelings of other people without losing what they want. It is witty and sensitively handled.

I was completely absorbed in the story and couldn't believe when it finished, I wanted it to go on and on.

A Distinct Case of Cognitive Dissonance

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 27, 2017

Verified Purchase

This is an excellent story, beautifully written, well thought out and wonderful personality descriptions of all the characters. The humour was brilliant,
I laughed out loud in many places and even had hand to mouth after a gasping in drawn breath on occasion too.
My main problem was my overriding need to keep reading as it was so good versus my almost manic need to put the book down so that I could spin out the enjoyment that _little_ bit longer.
Loved this story and decided to read in one sitting, so that I could re read it again.... very soon ! Enjoy !

... previously given much thought too but I'm now so glad that Amy got her story told

Mae Wood takes us back to the world of Pig & Barely for a second chance romance with a character I hadn't previously given much thought too but I'm now so glad that Amy got her story told.
The tale of Dr Amy and her silver fox Thomas Popov had me hooked from the start. They are real adults with real lives navigating their way to a second chance at love in a story that I couldn't put down.
Mae always delivers with the romance, sexy times and great, realistic characters who you can't help but want to know.
Can be read as a standalone or as part of the series - which let's face it you will read them all if you try just one!

Real swoony steamy second chance love

Reviewed in Canada on July 1, 2018

Verified Purchase

For anyone who is looking for a contemporary romance that is real, and swoony, look no further. Anyone else tired of 21 year old heroines finding forever love with billionaire? Me too. And here is Mae Wood giving us the perfect antidote via Thomas and Amy. We were introduced to Amy in her ex-husband's book Plus One. Now is it Amy's turn to find real and lasting love. Thomas is one of the most romantic and swooniest of heroines I have encountered. Mae Wood's writing is perfect to tell the story of later in life love. Amy and her ex Bert had married in college after finding out she had gotten pregnant. They were not in a serious relationship. Their marriage was not born out of love, but rather pregnancy and commitment. Amy moved on after her divorce, a successful business woman and orthodontist who met Thomas after a baseball injury put him in her dentist chair. Thomas, a widow, was ready to take another leap into love, with Amy. Amy wasn't so sure love was a state that was lasting or strong enough to withstand time. Thomas was ready to prove her wrong. Boy did that man know how to woo. Lovely story that will leave you clutching this book to your chest wanting to believe that there can be real happy endings for those of us who are ready for mature, steamy love.
