Breast cancer survivor Edie Williams is ready to live. Divorced. Mother of two. She's planned the vacation of a lifetime for a reboot, only to encounter an awakening adventure - Tommy Carrigan.

Manager of the band Collision, Tommy Carrigan has his plate full. Independent. Carefree. He's on an annual holiday with his band family, when the unexpected happens - Edie Williams.

Love might be just what the doctor prescribed, but can it survive the world of rock-n-roll?

Contains mature themes.

I loved it! Tommy so sexy, determined and so caring Evie so sweet and caring and such a strong survivor. These two are meant to be together regardless of what they’ve gone through! Family matters and this one sure does! If you think books about older silver foxes are not sexy read this one it will surely change your mind!

SEXY SILVER FOX

Loved the Book. Great listen. It was kinda funny reading how MMC was doing things he felt he could do but MFC was to listen and obey. Caveman thinking. 😆🤭There was plenty of fire 🔥 between them 🌶️. A Nice Story of Mature relationships can be difficult considering the past baggage they carry or try and rid. Some hurt pain betrayal and mixed signals.

I love the fact that the main couple in the story are over 40. It’s a great book I look forward to more of them ❤️

I was excited about a romance with “over 40” characters, because I was hoping it would mean I wouldn’t be listening to the same “complaints” or drama as with the NA genre. Unfortunately, that wasn’t really the case here. Edie is 43, has a child in his 20s and an 18yo daughter graduating high school soon. While on vacation in Hawaii she meets and has a fling with Tommy Carrigan.

I get the real insecurities of starting a new physical relationship with someone, especially after having been married for 20 years. But Edie’s insistence on harping her physical
imperfections as well as her unwillingness/inability to have decent communication with Tommy carried on for way. too. long.

I think if some of the interpersonal drama had been curbed in favor of some other type of angst/plot driver ~ I would have enjoyed this more.

I liked Coleen Marlo’s narration. She’s a great fit for a mature voice/setting. Tommy came off as overly creepy sometimes, but I’m not sure if that was the writing or Marlo. I would definitely listen to something she narrates again.

This was on Audible Escape and despite a little disappointment, I enjoyed it. Worth the borrow.

I have be cold addicted to LB Dunbar 's books. After care has all you want in a book. Sweet and sexy man and Loving and strong woman. w Who meet at the perfect time but find that life keeps throwing curve balls. I was so enthralled that I couldn't even pause the book, I listened straight through. I can't wait for more of her books.

omg yes

This is another great over 40 story. Edie is celebrating beating cancer with her kids on vacation, where she meets Ivy, who introduces her to Tommy and the rest of to the band Collision. (Who she has no real idea who they are). I loved watching Edie find herself as Tommy helped her become more confident. Tommy has never considered a relationship and has many secrets himself. This was a great (and steamy) book and left me wanting to know where I could go on vacation to find a Tommy for myself.

Great story

All right in terms of characters, pace and style. Only noticeable difference for me in comparison to a story with 20-somethings as the main characters: the characters are over 40 and have almost grown-up children. The rest was completely the same in this story: woman meets a man with whom she experiences erotic fantasies, and who after some back and forth finally opens his heart and confesses his love to her.
As I said, the book delivers what it says on the cover. More realism, because the protagonists are older, however, can not be found.
Narration: good timing, she brought all the characters to life well

classic romance

I just listened for my second time and realized I never left a review! This is a wonderful story about finding love after divorce, 40, and cancer! I can’t recommend this book enough!

Finally great romance for the over 40 readers!

I loved this story. Being at the beginning of a new chapter in my way over 40 life, I’m thankful that it didn’t come at the expense of a dire disease. This story and it is a fine story, that we shouldn’t take life for granted, live it to the fullest we can and be thankful for the opportunity. The narrator did an outstanding job on all the characters. That’s not an easy feat. Well done.

Awesome!

I love the 40+ story. I wished that I had read this one prior to a few of the others. Awesome narration. Looking forward to more 40+ romances.
