Title: 3 Seconds
Author: Bethany Lopez
Release Date: August 25, 2015
Synopsis:
A lot can happen in 3 Seconds. It's the space of time between walking onstage and stepping up to the mic. It’s that moment when your eyes meet across a crowded room and the chemistry between you is undeniable.
Bronagh has accomplished a lot in her thirty-five years. A successful pub owner and happy divorcée, she's learned to enjoy life, but have realistic expectations. Her past has taught her that it's best not to depend on others, but that doesn't mean she won't sample a tasty morsel when it's right in front of her.
After taking a break from culinary school to travel abroad, Brendan is back and eager to finish what he started. Although he relishes the nights he gets to play with his brothers in their band, and enjoys their healthy supply of groupies, he's ready to start acting like the twenty-something that he is…a fact he craves to prove with Bronagh.
What starts as a one-night-stand becomes more when Bronagh and Brendan realize that they can't walk away. But can a younger man who's prone to late nights and scantily-clad women convince a woman who's been hurt that age doesn't matter, and he's the man she needs?

Review by: Cristina
As the Time for Love series continues we come to a story this time around where it entails an age gape between two people: a younger man and an older woman.
Lead singer to Whiskey Heat, Brendan O’Malley is back from taking a temporary break from culinary school to travel around Europe. Upon his return he seeks to finish where he left off and graduate from class, to play in his band with his brothers again, and prepare for his future. With his goals in place; one night during his return to performing again there was an undeniable bond that he felt across the room. Needless to say he wanted to get to know (in more ways than usual) the woman that has caught his eye.
Cue in mystery woman, Bronagh Callahan who has lived and experienced the married life that turned into divorce, a pub that she owns and runs with her Pa, and enjoying life as a single person. When an unexpected ladies night out consisted of sparks from the HOT rocker before her she was all for the one-night stand; however, that one encounter ended up leading to more.
When they are together the steamy moments are inevitably HOT but what is holding them back is everything else that they have going for themselves. Besides the age factor are two different outlooks for the future enough to make this couple work?
“Give me a shot. Give us a shot. Age doesn’t matter, don’t let it stand in our way.”
A different take in finding love for Brendan & Bronagh and one that had me enjoying every moment ever since that 3seconds that changed everything. A believer that there is no time limit to finding that one that catches your eye with an intense connection that needs to be explored regardless of certain factors. This is one of my favorite 5 stars reads in the series. Pick up a copy of this #mustread book today!

Excerpt:
Brendan stepped forward, into the bar, and was immediately surrounded by greedy, shouting women.
That ugly seed of jealousy grew, even as I tried to bury it within me, but I watched as Brendan kept as smile on his face for his fans and scanned above their heads, searching for me. When he found me, his grin grew and I heard him say, “I’m glad you enjoyed the show, ladies, but I’m afraid I’ve got a hot date,” as he sauntered right to me.
I barely registered the chorus of boos and awes, his pull already taking hold of me.
He didn’t pause when he reached me; instead he came at me full force, pulling me into his arms and fusing his lips to mine. The desire that had been building throughout his performance came to a head, and I met his passion full force, opening my lips and inviting him in for a taste.
Just as we were reaching the point of no return, Brendan pulled back and smiled beautifully down at me, his eyes flashing with the heat I knew he was feeling.
“Let’s get out of here.”
