I'm happily married at 46 but knowing this book involved a "middle-age" woman who found love, I was very interested. I was drawn to these characters from the start. It was so interesting to see how widowed/divorced, middle-aged characters approached love. I loved that it wasn't insta-love and that the insecurities that most women feel were still there. All around a really good read.
I throughly enjoyed this book. It is nice to occasionally discover a romance novel with middle aged characters. Well written plot with believable characters. I highly recommend this book. I received an advance ebook and this is my unbiased review.
I really enjoyed this book. It was refreshimg to have main characters in a romance novel that are over the age of 40.
Leila is a smart, sophisticated woman with an amazing sense of style but she’s been alone for 5 years since her husband passed away. Her business partner and her daughter feel that it is time for her to find love again and take matters into their own hands by buying a session with a matchmaker. Leila is not pleased and is positive that she will never find love again since her late husband was her soul mate but she begrudgingly acquiesces to their plan.
Ayden has been divorced for 25 years and has used that time to perfect his technique for wooing women- particularly younger women. When Leila and Ayden meet at a mutual client’s home, there is an instant attraction but neither is going to do anything about it until the matchmaker Leila was dragged to matches them. Even then, Leila decides to wait and try dating the other 2 matches first. When they do finally go on a date, the sparks are flying. I like the rapport between Leila and Ayden throughout this book.
Parts of the story were quite predictable but there were a few unexpected twists thrown in as well. I like that Leila’s relationship with her daughter and her business partner feature prominently in the book. The characters are well developed. I wasn’t fond of Ayden at the beginning due to his arrogance but I have to say that he grew on me and in the end I think he is worthy of Leila.
I would recommend this book to anyone looking for a romance with more mature characters.
Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for the ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.
