The blurb (from Amazon)
Michael Carlucci, the hot, young musical genius behind the successful rock band, NinetySeven, knows that he’s found the woman for him. Diane Matthews is not just beautiful and smart, she’s got an infectious passion for everything in her life, from her three daughters to her new play. For him, the search is over. He knows they belong together.
For Diane, it’s not as simple. She’s almost twenty years older than Michael. She’s not interested in remarrying – she’s very happy with her life just the way it is, thank you very much. But she can’t deny the growing attraction between them – and it’s not just his touch that she craves. But it’s not until Michael is gone and an old love returns that she realizes just what he meant to her. He said he would love her forever. Can she trust that? Or should she find a safer route to happiness?
A Different Kind of Forever is the story about two complicated people finding – and trying to hold on – to love.

A Different Kind of Forever is the story about two complicated people finding – and trying to hold on – to love.
Diane, divorced, mum of 3, college lecturer and playwright, is not looking for love. She lost out to love 2 years ago when he refused to leave his wife.
Diane is facing a summer alone as the girls go to stay with their dad for the whole summer, but she has plenty to keep her busy with the garden and writing her play.
Having a quiet lunch in the park she is rudely interrupted by a large dog who steals her sandwich. A most unlikely magic moment happens when the owner of the dog, Michael, rock star, invites her to a replacement lunch.
Now this is a little gem. I was expecting a sweet story about an older woman falling for a rock star that would be pure fantasy fun rather than a grown up read that I could identify with.
This is an easy read but covers plenty of issues that face women, of a certain age, back on the dating scene.
There are children to consider and the obvious differences in age and lifestyle.
All these are explored in Dee Ersnt's flowing writing style that has me hooked. It was one of those books I couldn't wait to get back to.
Another great summer read from this author. Do also take a look at Better off Without him.
4.5 out of 5 for me!
Thank you to Dee Ernst for a review copy. This did not influence my review in any way.
