#1 AMAZON BEST SELLER IN TIME TRAVEL ROMANCE
Sassy meets classy in this charming, adventurous love story.

“F. E. takes the reader on a fascinating journey between two Londons with danger or intrigue around every corner.” – Margarite Martin Gray, author of the Revolutionary Faith series

2018 Indie B.R.A.G. Medallion Honoree

Victoria Smith’s life seems dreary until someone knocks on a sealed door inside her London bookshop. When Tori discovers it’s not a ghost but a journalist from 1854, she accidentally strands him in 2014. Intrigued by the dapper and crusading Charles Stratford, Tori offers to help him locate a pendant that will reopen the door to his century. Even when their treasure hunt across London turns dangerous, Tori finds herself wishing that Charles could stay. But after losing her family a decade before, can Tori risk loving someone again, especially a man from 1854?

Lured into the future by a mysterious pendant, Charles Stratford must track down its counterpart to unlock the door between Londons. When the winsome Victoria Smith volunteers to join his search, Charles becomes smitten with the intrepid bookseller. He also uncovers an ancient struggle between two underground societies and becomes entangled in their secret intrigues. If Charles fails to return both pendants to 1854, he places his own London at risk. But how can he succeed when it means saying farewell to Victoria in 2014?

From modern-day Soho to 19th-century Mayfair, The Never List takes readers on a whirlwind tour of Londons new and old, as its time-crossed heroes search for a way to love each other within two centuries. It is the first book in the Love Across Londons series which should be read in order.

Romance Heat Scale: Mild/PG. No detailed sex scenes, profanity, or graphic violence.

5.0 out of 5 stars Couldn't put down; read in one day
Reviewed in the United States on August 1, 2019

I loved this new to me author's book! It kept me interested the entire time. It has mysteries, romance, time travel, gypsies and two characters I loved, especially together. At times it reminded me of Kate & Leopold and I guess that's why I was picturing Hugh Jackman as Charles.

I was pleasantly surprised that it was a clean read, no curse words which modern romance books seem to be full of (and I don't read them for that reason) and Charles actually talked about God and went to church. It wasn't preachy nor religious; it was just the right touch.

I'm excited to know there are at least two more in the series!

I liked the idea of this book. I loved Tori and Charles' interactions as they get to
know each other and compare the Londons of 2014 and 1854. We also get
to know the different social norms and how that has changed since Charles'
day. However, sometimes it dragged on and I would have to stop and come
back to it. On the whole, I enjoyed it. Worth a read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love this London Romance/Mystery Series💕
Reviewed in the United States on October 3, 2020

Oh my! I love this Travel back in Time Romance/comedy/mystery! It’s really a great fun book series that takes you back into a more romantic time period (of course each era has it’s minus and pluses) but I love dreaming of living in another period in time. Cleaner reading without a lot of very awful language or crass scenes.
The story is written well and flows nicely.
The novel can really send the reader into another world. I Loved reading the first book in the series so much that I bought the second and third book as well! Couldn’t be helped!📕

I have always loved time travel books! I started the book with high expectations and some very real bias towards liking it... So I was surprised that at the very start I was not instantly smitten with the book. Her smooth acceptance of him being from a different time and his even smoother acceptance of such a vastly different era threw me off. I was finding it difficult to get into the story at that point. They just went about the process of trying to unravel the mystery as if this kind of thing always occurs. It seemed almost too simplistic and created way more questions than were answered. HOWEVER, it didn't take long to get sucked into the story and mystery of his time-travel and the purpose of it. I truly enjoyed a book where, while they were instantly drawn to each other, they did NOT instantly fall into bed with each other. The negative review that she pouted that he was a gentleman and didn't jump her bones only illustrates how well he stayed himself and that his character shone through even in such an extremely impossible situation. If that reviewer had stayed with the story they might have seen that she was also portraying her part by exhibiting the behaviors of a modern, liberated, 21 century woman. The story explores their different perspectives and the characters do grow and bond beautifully as their adventures continue; all the while she learns to appreciated some of the finer arts of finesse and subtlety of his time, equally realizing that people are the same no matter which century they come from. He treats her like a found treasure and she comes around to valuing herself as that treasure with the anticipation for their future together. The story deepened as new characters were introduced. The mystery continue and right when you think you've figured it out - something unexpected happened. I'm glad that I didn't give up! I just finished Book 1 and will be buying Book 2 immediately as I want to continue their story and see where it leads. The hints at the end portend another round of adventures and I can't wait to delve into it!

Victoria owns a bookshop in London in 2014 and lives above it. There is a locked door that she's never been able to open in the hall beside her bedroom until one night she hears a scraping sound then a knocking. Grabbing her baseball bat she goes to see. A man comes through the door dressed in old-fashioned clothes and is very polite. His name is Charles and what follows will have you flipping through the pages wondering if they can get through the portal without risking their lives. Enjoyable read

The story is a marvelous celebration of a modern romance begun in the present and enriched in 1854. The characters are endearing. I highly recommend this adventure!

3.0 out of 5 stars Light reading; story could have been stronger.
Reviewed in the United States on October 11, 2018

Could not get interested in the story. Lacks a good hook at the beginning to make it a page turner. At best a ho-hum romance novel. The author has writing skills and can make the story flow, but this one comes across as more of a YA romance. Characters are rather bland. Minimal drama and humor.
Someone from the mid 19th century dropped into 21st century by accident would not be so accepting of sights, sounds, even language. It’s culture shock big time. He’s too complacent. Automobiles, electricity, airplanes, would be shocking, even frightening. Trying to explain the new world to him should be more frustrating because he would lack point of reference. Needs more “laugh out loud” moments when she does try to give an explanation or he attempts to use something. Could add real humor.
She is too accepting of his sudden appearance. Seriously? Someone shows up through a doorway and you don’t freak out? Even if he does seem harmless. It’s just too fantastic or the character is too much of a believer in science fiction. Explanation of arrival is too sketchy. Would have been better with his backstory as a preface. Don’t feed reason for arrival and explanations in bits and pieces. Tedious. Sudden, unexplained appearance of bad guys really didn't work very well. Again, info in a preface would have helped.
Love interest way too soon. Why should she get so interested so soon? Is she that desperate for a boyfriend? Supposed to an independent woman.
If you want something light to read that won’t require much thinking then this will fit the bill.

It was a very slow start for me, but I had paid for it, so decided to stick with it a little longer and I sure am glad I did. Funny, how some of the best books I have read started out slow or hard to get into. It is a different "time travel" premise in that it goes back and forth between old and new London. Very interesting story. I enjoyed it very much.

The Never List tells the story of Tori and an unexpected visitor who came through her storeroom door. Charles has come to the future after a chance encounter (the best kind of encounter) with a gypsy. The pair work together to discover the secret of the pendant Charles was given, going back to Charles' time where Tori has to learn to fit in to Victorian London, luckily Charles' aunt takes her in to her household and Tori doesn't have to find her way alone.

There is excitement with unknown baddies trying to steal the pendant, and mystery as they try to discover it's purpose. An excellent story with good characters, Charles' aunt particularly. I hope there is a future book about some of the other characters.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 3, 2017

This story is a standalone romantic adventure with a HEA that forms part of a series with overlapping characters. It is incredibly detailed about both time zones, places and people so is not a quick read for anyone in a hurry or with other things to do! However it is well worth the effort.
The only reason I didn't give it five stars is that I prefer my romances with a little more heat to them, ie more than the occasional kiss. This therefore is a clean read suitable for all. The adventures continue in a second book and since I have enjoyed learning about Charles and Victoria I will read the next instalment in their lives.
