Next Time Around, Book 1

De: Donna McDonald

Narrado por: Anne Johnstonbrown

Book One of the Next Time Around Series

Freshly divorced at 40 yrs old, Chloe Zanders has few illusions left about her ability to make her dreams come true. She is never going to be thin, never going to be a famous singer, and never going to be sexy enough to keep a man like her handsome ex-football player husband from cheating. While the first two dreams might continue to flicker hopefully inside her, Chloe now accepts the last one had been doomed from the start.

All her ex ever did in their marriage was find fault with her. After learning about the latest twenty-something in his life, divorcing Aaron is just a relief because it means Chloe can finally stop trying to save a relationship so obviously not worth saving. With her friends encouraging her to move on, Chloe secretly vows to herself that next time around, she is going to look for a man who will love her just as she is.

Hoping distance will help, Chloe gladly returns to Laguna Nigel in sunny California, happy to be living closer to her college roommates slash best-friends-in-the-world. Celebrating her return with a long weekend at the 5-star rated Blue Skies Hotel and Spa seems like just the thing Chloe needs to jump start her "do over" life. How much she ends up instantly liking the hotel's sexy, 45 yr owner/manager, Jasper Wade, is a surprise though.

So is the way Jasper's unrestrained kisses send lust and renewed hope singing through Chloe. What she feels for Jasper is disturbingly too much too soon, and God knows she can't compete with his super model ex-wife. But how can Chloe turn away from a man who keeps insisting she's his every fantasy come true?

Sweet romance book about second chances for love for d women and for men. No violence.

Great characters!!

I really liked this! I loved all of the characters and look forward to more in the series. I have to be honest, though -- the narrator's over-pronouncing every T was a little off-putting

over 40, attractive, and can sing like no body

Chloe knew a few things: 1 never going to be thin, 2 never going to be a famous singer, and 3 never going to be sexy enough to keep a man, a hot man. Chloe gets her life back. The first step was to file for divorce, next quit her job, then move across country, and finally spend quality time with her friends. Chloe never expects to sing in public for the first time in a very long time. She and her girlfriends have the time of their lives. So much fun in fact, Chloe meets Jasper Wade. He takes her on a whirlwind ride of unrestrained kisses, renewed hope, and a chance to discover who she is and what she could do now. This was a fun read that gave power back to the woman over 40 and looking to make that right move for her life and her circumstances.

Anne Johnstonbrown lends her voice to an over 40 romance that makes you believe there is love after 40. There was wit, fun, friendship, accomplishment.
