Living at 40

Lakeside Cottage, Book 1

De: L.B. Dunbar

Narrado por: Aaron Shedlock, Kelsey Navarro

Is it an accidental pregnancy if it’s purposefully planned?

Autumn Kulis wants a baby. It’s that simple and that complicated because one thing stands in her way: She doesn’t have a man in her life. And at almost 40, she isn’t getting any younger. On a two-week trip to her brother’s lakeside cottage, a plan forms. Make a list of three men. Sleep with each of them. Allow nature to take its course.

Only, a certain someone gets in her way.

Logan Anders goes with the flow of life. Divorced, single dad, he works hard and occasionally plays harder. When his college roommate invites him to Lakeside Cottage for two weeks, he hadn’t remembered his best friend’s little sister being so hot. Nor was he a fan of her plan to find a baby daddy. He’s determined to make her list, then tear it to shreds leaving him the only man horizontal with her.

A crush revealed exposes the desire for her brother’s best friend and a simple proposition could be the second chance they both need to really live.

It’s The Big Chill of 2021, including a reunion of friends gone awry when someone wants to get pregnant and someone else wants to be the one to give her everything.

Welcome to Lakeside Cottage, a new adventure in over-40 romance and second chances at love by L.B. Dunbar.

Life always readjusts

<strong>Life always readjusts</strong>

LB Dunbar has a gift of storytelling. Her books are always so true, real and gritty. This story bring so many feels to life. The audiobook has dual narrators. I loved the voice for Logan but Autumns voice read a little slow for me so I just upped the reading speed. Cannot wait for the next story!

A new group of LB Dunbar book friends to love

Living at 40 (Lakeside Cottage Series) - L B Dunbar
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

L B Dunbar‘s new series has just dictated my reading requirements for the foreseeable future and the audio narration is on point

The Story of four distinctly different guys who form an unbreakable bond in college, brought together by Ben to reignite their friendship in their forties.
Two weeks together will see them rekindle their friendships and bring about huge changes for all of them. With the addition of the sub story of Autumn, Ben’s younger sister, chasing her dream to have a child, though single and with past romantic interests who have deceived her, the intertwined stories are full of honesty and emotions.

Ben, Logan, Mason and Zack are wonderfully crafted characters but it’s the relationship between Logan and Autumn, Ben’s little sister, that will have your emotional radar flaring. The narrators have honed these characters perfectly and deliver a heartwarming and at times gut wrenching story, beautifully crafted and delivered with L B Dunbar’s inimitable style and flare and narrated with such wonderful feeling.

I can’t wait to for more from this audio series.

Great Book!

I’m so glad I discovered this author who writes about 40 something characters! Living at 40 is the start of a very promising series. As an older adult, I like to read romance books which have some reality of daily living included. Life doesn’t turn out necessarily the way we prefer. This author has made the characters real with important issues. All the characters are defined so well that I hope the series will include books on each of the 4 points.

The performers were excellent and definitely added to the experience

Be prepared to smile, laugh and cry while reading the story. You won’t regret purchasing this book!

Really enjoyed this one!

This was such a well-written story. The entire vibe between all the characters and the dialogue between them really pulls you in and makes you feel the closeness of this group of friends. Lots of feels in this one. Not just surrounding the romance and relationship between Logan and Autumn, but in the events that occur with the other characters, as well. SPOILER follows (stop reading here if you want to avoid a spoiler.) Having lost my husband at a very young age to cancer (27), that part of the storyline was tough, but very well done in my opinion. The reactions and feelings were believable from all angles, and pretty realistic based on my experience. There is a lot to love about this book. The story, the writing, the heat level, and the narration are all excellent.

Beautiful Story

This a second chance at love story for later in life but not “old” couples.

This one was so beautiful. She is his best friends younger sister whom he knew well. He someone she had had feelings for years ago that never truly went away.

They came together under the guise of a mission and feelings blossomed into love ❤️

The love of friendship blossomed in this beautiful story also.

TW for talk of cancer and death but it is so beautifully handled


Narrated by Aaron Shedlock and Kelsey Navarro whom are both favorites of mine. Such talent and passion
