The blurb
Divorcee Jennifer Irwin has it all – a successful interior design business and two loving children. But as her 45th birthday approaches and her children prepare to start their own lives, Jennifer is left feeling lonely in her empty nest.
That’s when she meets Ben Crawford – a man 16 years her junior – as their attraction heightens, Jennifer realises what she’s been missing. But mindful that the small-town Ballyfergus residents would never approve, they conduct their affair in secret.
But a secret is never a secret for long…
As the affair surfaces, Jennifer encounters opposition from friends and family, especially her daughter Lucy. Enraged by her mother’s relationship, Lucy seeks comfort in the arms of charismatic but troubled, Oren. Jennifer knows that Oren is not the man he seems, but can she convince her daughter of that?
And with everything going against them, can Jennifer and Ben’s love survive? Or will she risk losing her daughter to be with the man she loves?
Set in fictitious town of Ballyfergus, Ireland, this heart warming story had my full attention.
The lead character Jennifer has a story that I could identify with, apart from the younger man. :)
The strong characters each had their own background to bring to the story and reason for being there.
Each situation and problem that Jennifer came across was believable . There were no "that just wouldn't happen" scenes. I liked that.
A very lifelike look at the changing dynamics of a family post-divorce, where dad has moved on, but the children find it difficult to come to terms with mum moving on.
I felt like I was catching up with an old friend and how her life was changing as she reached her mid 40's.
I loved it!
10/10 for me!
