Author Bettye Griffin pens novels featuring contemporary women trying to make sense of a crazy world.

When middle-aged divorcee Emily Yancy moves home to be with her ailing mother, she's not expecting to find romance. But Aaron Merritt is a handsome doctor with all the right moves - except when it comes to the bedroom. Then there's Teddy Simms, her former crush whose only skills seem to lie between the sheets. What will Emily choose - happiness or sexual fulfillment?

I really liked this book and would recommend it . It had a great storyline and sexual storylines. I wish this book was a movie or TV show.

This couple was great together and she should have told him about the sex. That was crazy she didn't and that ex mother- inlaw was something else. I hope Val and Aaron's friend get a story and Ms. Yancy and her beau.

I didn't like the ending and I wanted them together. The narrator was great and I liked the author. I wish we could have heard how his family reacted and how Shelley felt about the sex.

This was a tale twister and worth the read. I really enjoyed the store line and of course Shari Peele is my favorite narrator. The mother and daughter relationship was on point. Be true to yourself in your relationship!

This was a good read but i am reminded why I prefer male narrators. Shari has a veri artificial annoying shaky voice that i had to press my way beyond. Her voice rises and falls at the wrong times...the worst trait for a narrator in my oppinion. Search for narration by Patricia Floyd or Susian Spain for an excellent delivery by a female.

Good listen: Narrater annoying

I love Shari Peele as a narrator but this book was boring. The plot lacked excitement it was flat the whole time. The main character is childish and petty. This book just wasn’t good at all.

Not what I expected

This book had the makings of something so much better, but it just fell flat and disappointed time and time again. The narrator did a pretty good job, but the storyline and the ending... especially the ending, has left me feeling like I just wasted time out of my life that I will never get back.

A Waste!

The author takes us down the rabbit hole with this woman then she meets this fine man and POW! He got no game in bed. So lay it out there and entice him to play. Whatever you have to do. Come to ch 20 nand she bout to end it. ...I QUIT. WHY YOU MAKE ME WASTE MY TIME. I womt trust this author again.
