After Care

A Romance for the Over 40

By: L.B. Dunbar

Narrated by: Coleen Marlo

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

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 ❤️

SEXY SILVER FOX

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!

Tender is the Heart 💝

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.

Mature romance with immature characters/themes

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.

omg yes

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.
