Publisher's summary

San Francisco, 2019. Abbie Lite, a nurse at the Public Hospital, witnesses a murder but is terrified to come forward. Now, at the end of her rope, she seeks guidance from a Brazilian shaman. During her shamanic session, she experiences amazing visions that foretell events soon to come.

In front of her favorite café, Abbie comes face to face with an unusual man who has silvery skin and the ability to read her thoughts. His name is Aroya—he has just arrived from the year 2050. Little does Abbie know that this unusual man will soon save her life. And thus, their adventures in time travel begin!

Critic reviews

"This book has a little of everything: a bit of drama, exciting moments, and gentle humor. Add a generous dash of romance and you have an enjoyable read. AB Raphaelle uses descriptions well to create a mental idea of where each character is in the book. Her characters are believable and the odd twist to the story leaves the reader wondering whether any particular character is actually sinister in nature or whether the character supports the endeavors in making the world a better place. The layout of the book helps the reader to follow the story, informing the reader of where they are in the timeline of each character. The concept of time travel itself is one that can be easily played with, as it has been used many times for the basis of a novel. When We Were Warm works with this concept well, leaving the reader pondering the possibility of alternative timelines." (Janine Thatcher for Readers’ Favorite)

Decent story, great narrator

The story itself isn't bad. The plot was a little odd to me(your stereotypical fix the future time travel) and the romance felt off to me. Specifically how quickly the MC took to not only the male protag but also how it all came to fruition. But for a romance novel, it was good. A good story for if you want something that isn't too heavy.
The narrator was amazing though. Made the entire book easy to listen to while performing other tasks. She was easy to understand and the character voices were great.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
