Once again I adored a book by Rich Amooi. At my age, in my 40s, it is really hard to find books about women who have never been married or men who have never been married. So a book like this is just perfect for me, especially when it doesn’t necessarily make a big deal out of the age thing. Because for me, this is my life, and I like to read about people who I feel are similar to me, and with romance books, I want someone with a similar romantic life to me sometimes. Quite often that means I’m reading books about couples in their twenties. Not that I don’t adore those books, but it is nice to see life and romance from what my world is like.

Besides my personal connections, the characters were perfect. Even though both of the main characters refused to see it at first, they had perfect chemistry, like everyone around them said. I loved the back and forth banter between them, the sarcasm, the arguing, all of it. Another thing about the characters was that I loved how we had a grandma for Lori that totally reminded me of the grandmas in books by another favorite author of mine, Emma Hart. Although since Amooi’s romances are more on the sweet side, this grandma was quite as raunchy, yet still as active and spicy!

Seeing the world of radio was neat as well. I am not a current listener to the radio since I tend to either listen to my music on my phone or audiobooks when I’m driving, and at home the tv is on if I’m not reading. (And usually it’s on in the background even when I am reading). But I remember when I did listen to the radio on the way to work every morning, and I loved the morning shows with the fun DJ hosts that would go back and forth. And I definitely liked when there was both male and female voices on the show.

If you like sweet, funny reads, this is the book for you!
