Resumen del Editor

After several decades of looking for true love and never finding it, aging model and lingerie designer, Alexa Ranger, has finally given up the search. A couple of years ago, she got tired of the game completely and just stopped dating. Now friends and family keep her mostly content, so it's shocking at 50 years old to find herself suddenly wanting a sex life again. It's even more shocking to be attracted to a much younger man this time. She definitely thinks Casey Carter is sexy, but not handling her own age well, Alexa just can't get passed their 12 year age difference to even consider a fling. Not that it matters anyway, anything resembling a normal dating relationship is totally out of the question because Casey is related to and living with her daughter's boyfriend.

The very last thing Alexa needs is yet another talk-show-worthy drama in her already complicated life, no matter how amazing Casey's kisses make her feel. For a couple of years, 38 year old medically retired Marine Casey Carter, believed his military injury had made him impotent. Having lost his wife to cancer, he hadn't exactly been worried about the problem. Most days walking with a cane was enough challenge for him. But now that he was ready to move on with his life, he had become more worried when none of the females his cousin brought around held any interest for him. So the last woman in the world he expected to start his engine revving again was the mother of his cousin's girlfriend.

Even at 50, Alexa is drop-dead gorgeous, and his libido certainly keeps reminding him she is the first woman he has wanted in a long, long time. Ironically, the more Casey gets to know and like Alexa, he finds out desiring the older woman is the easiest part. Jaded and cynical about love, Alexa is a difficult woman to convince of anything, but her kisses are all the proof he needs that they belong together. The former Marine decides his next mission is figuring out how to fit himself into her life.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Casey gets hit by a car and is bleeding and Alexa is trying to stop the bleeding from a head injury, but doesn't know how bad it is. It tears at the heart strings.

Helpful for Cubs

Great book! I can definitely relate to Casey although the outcome wasn’t the same but a real good story def can’t wait to hear the next one!

Wonderful

Fabulous use of a disabled marine who is trying to adjust his life to be as “normal” as it can be. Exception did log both true and funny! Really enjoyed this book!!!

It was okay

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

Perhaps, it didn't knock my socks off in any way, and I didn't really connect with any character myself. But I like stories with age gaps, and older women younger men is more rare, so I am happy for the chance to read one.

What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?

How Casey pursued her.. however, right at the beginning of the story he is amazed at how poorly Seth treats Jenna, but imo, he does worse several times.

Would you listen to another book narrated by Anne Johnstonbrown?

If it was a story I was interested in.

What would have made this romance irresistible?

a more sweeping ending, with Casey doing a little more than saying 'I'm sorry'.

Finally an older woman & younger Man!

Loved the story. But why does the story HARP on the fact that she was older?? I mean mentioning it once or twice but, give me a break!!! And to make the marine handicapped?? Is that the only reason he felt he could slum with an OLDER successful ex-model?? I hpe not.. BUT... This was still refreshing!!!!!! The later portion was exciting. wish it was a bwwm... Oh well.. Still good story.. KUDOS more please!

Very enjoyable romance and fun.

I enjoyed this story more than I thought I would. It was a fun light romance with likable characters and storyline.

Loved the story

I actually love this story the reading was okay but the story is great. I will try the other audio books in the series to see if it was just the way it was read that threw me off a bit.

Loved it

What did you like best about this story?

Awesome story. Loved that an older couple could still find each other and have some great sex. I just finished the audio version and it was terrific. The narrator did an wonderful job bringing the story to life. I loved this story when I read it on my kindle but finally getting to hear it on audio was just wonderful. I love how Donna writes stories for us older folks finding love

Couldn't make through

I rarely review audio books, but I had to this time. I will say that I plan to actually read this book, because the story had my interest.

However the narrator killed it for me. I could not get into the story because the over enunciation drove me crazy. As a public speaker and vocal performer I understand that enunciation is essential, however over enunciation can be just as detracting as not enough.

Awesome

it's simply awesome. the setting and the characters were great. more books please. loved it
