It’s all about timing . . .Ten years. That’s how long Ashton Andrews spent wondering if she would ever have the family she craved, with a man who was apparently not the one.Six weeks. Time spent patiently waiting, silently hoping and endlessly wondering if the decision she’d made to go it alone was the right one.Nine months. Morning sickness, cravings and that constant need to pee are what … months. Morning sickness, cravings and that constant need to pee are what Ashton has to look forward to, knowing that numbered are her days of being just one.
Fifteen years, eight days. An eternity ago were those unforgettable moments spent crushing on her brother’s best friend, yet her mind constantly turns to him–the one who got away.
The one who might yet be her one.
It’s probably about time she found out . . .
About Time is a contemporary romance featuring 30-something characters who know that life is short and know what they want.

Beth Cranford tells a story that is unique, original, beautifully written and filled to the brim with witty dialogue, realistic characters and so much heart (plus sexy-times). Highly recommended!
I fell in love with not just the heroine and hero but the entire family. This was a really sweet read about missed opportunities and second chances because life happened. I am so glad that Ash and Dunk found each other again and got their happy ever after.
About Time is book one in The Avenue series by B. Cranford. Wow! I have to say that I didn’t expect to fall so in love with these characters. I didn’t want to stop reading this. I loved both the hero and the heroine but I have to say that Dunk, the hero, stole my heart right from the beginning. I would say this is a second chance romance.
Ashton Andrews and her two brothers, one older and one younger, were close, their bond tight. So when their parents disowned her older brother, there was no hesitation that she would stand by his side and support him. Which is how she first met her brother’s roommate and best friend, for the first time.
There was no denying the chemistry. They both felt it. But the timing wasn’t right. Now it’s fifteen years later. Ashton recently got out of a ten year long relationship with her cheater ex. She’s thirty four years old and life is passing her by. So it’s time to make her own future, fulfill her own dreams. Only as soon as she starts to realize that dream, the man she never forgot, the man she always wondered if he could have been the one, is back in her life. She’s not going to take a chance this time. She’s not going to let him go again.
Andrew Duncan never forgot Ashton. They had eight days together. But he felt more for her in those eight days than he ever had for anyone else. His life in New York is empty. He doesn’t enjoy his job, or anything about his life. He heard that Ashton was single again. Maybe it is finally their time. Maybe he could make a life in Madison where she and her brothers live. Maybe he could make a life with her.
“Life could be a strange thing. When timing was off, it could fight you on what you wanted, what you needed. But when the timing was right, life could be perfect.”
Andrew and Ashton find that connection that they both always yearned for with each other. But life still has a way of throwing in a few curve balls to keep you on your toes. Both of them have to adjust to life with the other, and with the decisions they have made.
“This kiss that felt like it was erasing all the others that came before it and tainting all the ones that would come after it.”
One thing I’ve quickly learned in the two books I’ve read by B. Cranford is that she writes the best sexy times. She has such a way of making them unique and so, so hot! There was nothing I didn’t love about these two. They were flawed and real and also perfect for each other. At the same time, I was also falling in love with Ashton’s brothers. The next book in this series is her younger brother Austin’s story in Because Forever. I am most definitely going to read this one. I have found myself a new author to fangirl over. I can’t wait to explore even more of her work.
