Mid Life Love

De: Whitney G.

Narrado por: CJ Bloom, August James

Claire Gracen's life is picture perfect. Her career as a marketing director is on the brink of being legendary, and her marriage to her high school sweetheart has never been stronger. No, wait. It has. It used to be amazing and fulfilling, but one day Claire realizes that she's been living a lie and her best friend and husband have committed the ultimate betrayal. Broken and depressed, Claire is in need of something new - new city, new job, new friends. When she happens to attract the interest of the sexiest man she's ever met, a man significantly younger than her, she immediately turns him down - only to later discover that this man is Jonathan Statham, self-made billionaire and CEO of Statham Industries. Her boss.

Jonathan Statham is unlike any man she's met before. He's used to getting whatever he wants - whenever he wants, and he isn't about to take no for an answer.

Good But ...

OMG, could the male narrator have been any worse? It’s s good story and the female narrator was great but the male part sounded like he was just learning how to read! Painful!!

Heartwarming billionaire romance

I really enjoyed this one. The older woman and younger man story was a new one for me but if worked. The sex was a little repetitive but otherwise a good read.

Grow up!

Geese - I get playing hard to get, but WTF. Act your age, woman. And how’d she go from being okay to every man’s insatiable dream as soon as he’s there to witness it.
I stopped this ~50% in because I just couldn’t do another few hours of the back and forth.
As always, the sex was hot, but the characters are worse than high schoolers with the BS.

Great context of older woman, younger man

Give me a read about forty-somethings and I'm in, it's such a tangible, refreshing context for me. I felt totally engaged with MID LIFE LOVE because it also included a favourite setting of mine....office romance. This book is about a 40 year old divorcee who has lost herself in her heartache of the last 4 years. Claire is incredulous at the attentions of Jonathan Statham, her 28 year old boss and CEO of the company. She cannot understand his attraction to her and thwarts each of his approaches.

This book is rich with fabulous side characters in Claire's daughters, they made me laugh and brought such tangibility to the storyline. I never felt like I knew where the story was going and this was such fun to devour. The many twists and turns kept me hooked even though I felt the last 5% was rushed. All the characters were well developed and the writing just flowed. I need more from these two and I hope my desire is fulfilled

Entertaining

Mother of two almost grown-up daughters falls in love with a much younger man, who is also her boss.
Even though the book uses a lot of clichés and is predictable, it was great fun.
I found both narrators to be very excellent: they brought the characters to life.

Love the twist at the end! had me on edge.

He's no Joe Arden but the narration was still great! awesome read I loved it

Lackluster narration

CJ Bloom is SO GREAT it makes August James narration sound flat, lifeless and boring without inflection
or real emotion.

Good Story

it was a good story but I feel like the story could have been told in 5 or 6 hours rather than almost 14. Essentially So Long But Good None The Less

Good writing style but unlikeable main characters

I found that I enjoyed the overall structure, pace and style of the book, but as much as I tried to like it I just couldn't get past the horrible people that we were supposed to be cheering for. The hero is less awful, though his actions are way over the line of sexual harassment crosses lines of consent, but the female...she is just a horrible person. She is so cruel in the way she uses other people towards the end of the book. The narration was good, and I will try other books by this author, but not the sequel to this one as I just don't want to try to cheer for the mean girl to win.

She Sucked

I had enough of HER. I get why she felt the way she did at first but then it didn't take long for me to be sick of her. I wanted him to walk away... several times. She did so many juvenile things it just made me shale my head. OMFG! ONE thing her subs was right about and that was that she was stuck up. I don't care how pretty she was she was ridiculous . Especially since she was right there with him the whole time, fooling around with him like a consenting adult then she'd do something stupid. The only thing she did that I agreed with and actually spoke our loud right before it happened was when she hauled off and slapped the hell out of the EX tramp/friend. When the meth head momma opened her mouth as if she had a inkling of a right considering she and the husband put the kids through hell and didn't raise them even alittle plus couldn't stay clean and she listened to her no sense when he had already told her the story was done. She wanted worried about what a meth head was going to say when She had the man loving her and chasing her, NOT willing to let her go... I was done.
