Publisher's summary

Laugh-out-loud funny, with cover-to-cover banter and red-hot heat. Dirty Little Midlife Mess is not your typical fake relationship romance. It’s better.

Simone owes handsome, broody Wesley Byron a favour, and he’s calling it in. He needs a maid. Yes, like the type that cleans a house. Black and white uniform not included (she asked). Except on Simone’s first day, she finds herself wrapped up in Wes’ muscular arms as he introduces her to his family using the word girlfriend instead of maid.

Then he ducks his head and whispers two words against her ear: play along. For a woman who dealt with a difficult man for 11 years (and divorced him), those words are like throwing a lit match into a box of fireworks. She’ll play along. She might even have fun with it. And when the explosions start, everyone will enjoy the show....

The characters were lifelike

I truly enjoyed this series because the characters are true to themselves and will encourage each other to improve

Sweet story

I really enjoyed this book. The series is so sweet. My only complaint is the female narrator has these awkward pauses all throughout.

Dirty little midlife mess

I enjoyed listening to this story about a quirky friend we all want. She finds her happy ever after, after a divorce and a change of town. I enjoyed this relatable story about romance and a woman's independence. I recommend you read it. This story is so much fun.

TENDER HEARTS 💕

Relationships/the second time around. You sometimes find yourself, xarrying old issues, hurts and mindsets into the New Relationship.

Good series

Loved it. can't wait for the next in series. so cute and smexy. love that she writes for us older women with us still sexy and not putting up with anyone's crap.

2nd book is the series didn’t live up….

I loved the first book, “Dirty Little Midlife Crisis” so I happily started the second promptly after finishing the first. This story was very, very slow. Many details, lots of over explanations, and it made the story drag, tempting me to skip a few minutes to see if the story had progressed. The characters are still wonderful and interesting and the small town is still full of charm. Just because this book did not live up to the first will not deter me from reading the others but I can say this book is not making my list of favorites. I would have loved to see some sweet revenge of Elina and Shawn not getting Wes’s inheritance but maybe it will be touched on in a later book.

Somewhat confusing at times…

The story deviates from Simone’s story at times with more than a mention involving the lives of the other three girls co-owning the bakery. If you miss a name, because it’s difficult to distinguish between the female voices, it takes a minute to tell what’s going on.

A little boring

I was really excited to read/listen to this book because I’ve read reviews that said it was funny. Unfortunately, I thought it was a little slow and boring. I also didn’t like the that they had different view points randomly throughout the book, made it slightly confusing even when the name was announced. The narration was smooth.
