I loved this book. First, because it was about more mature couples, 40+. Seond, because they were established in their careers, smart, and funny.
Mariah had divorced her ex husband, Dan, and was moving on with her life. She found herself attracted to John, and wondering why Dan was he'll bent on destroying her.
Mariah and John's interacts were playful, fun, and we got to experience their quick wits. And, on top of all of that, they really LIKE each other.
Mariah's mom and her friends were pretty funny. I am rooting for Dr. Colombo and Georgia. Can't wait for their story. At least I hope they get one.
I especially loved Mariah and Dan's last interaction. She was much nicer than I would have been, but it was good. This book proved the 40's are the new 20's, only better.
I really enjoyed this book. It made me laugh, it made me smile. I highly recommend any book that leaves me feeling good with a smile on my face after the last page. I am looking forward to the next book.

I just love these snarky women. Even in her lousy divorced misery Mariah is hopeful for Love as a whole. This book was so fun to read! I can't wait to read about the other seasoned women finding love again.

This is my first time picking up a story by this author, but I have to say I really enjoyed it overall! My biggest complaint about it was that it was too short!
I loved Mariah! I laughed at some of the things she got herself into, and cheered when she started dipping her toes back into the dating game! I just kept hoping to see more reactions about her ex-husband and his situation. John was a bit of an unknown quantity for me, and I really felt that there wasn't enough information given about him for me to form a good connection to him.
All things considered, I would definitely read more of this author and this particular series!

A different kind of story for me. I felt it stayed too long with the antagonist angle. It had a warm, genuine feeling falling in love. It also had cute humor. By the way, the main character's mom is AWESOME!

This was a cute little romance, but I found it to be just okay. I thought it could have benefitted from an extra 50 or 100 pages. I don't feel like I got to know who John is really at all. I'm not the biggest fan of insta-love, and that's what this felt like to me. I would have liked to have seen more of Mariah's business and the matchmaking process, but maybe that happens in later books in the series. There were some grammar and spelling errors that jumped out at me. I know I mentioned insta-love, but I was a bit put off that John would not only declare his love but ask Mariah to move in after having spent time with her fewer than 10 times. I get it, it's a romance, but that really pulled me out of it. And then to have Mariah go to work with hickeys all over her neck? I'm all for love and romance and intimacy at any age, but I felt like Mariah would be the type of person who would think that was unprofessional. I get that her business deals in romance and love, but I got the impression she was sophisticated and professional. I felt like she would want to cover up hickeys with a scarf or something, at least while at work. I couldn't imagine her meeting with her clients with a bunch of "love bites" visible all over. A minor point, but it pulled me out of the ending and was the final point that was just a bit over-the-top for me. Overall, I don't think I'd be opposed to reading another book in this series, but I won't go search it out.
