Summary: One of the best Silhouette/Harlequin series romances
Review: I've read this book several times. I rarely read the series romances anymore, but this one keeps dragging me back. This story features a woman in her early 40's (with 3 children from high-school to post-college) who meets a man who is ~15 years younger. Because she has low self-esteem and is very concerned with the age difference, she is afraid to become involved. Also, she is done with child-bearing and she is afraid that he will decide later that he wants to have children. He, however, is very sure of what he wants in life and knows that he wants her. This is a very humorous story of a woman who does not give herself nearly enough credit. I've tried to find other books by this author, but have only found a few and haven't found them to be this good. However, I highly recommend this one.

Summary: Passionate story! Great read.
Review: Judith Duncan has written a gem of a book. The story is passionate and the love between the main two characters is strong and very loving. Sometimes the heroine Maggie was a little wishy washy and sad for no reason, but overall this books was great to read. Maggie is a 43 year old divorced mother of 3, 2 are in college and her youngest daughter is 15. She feels her life is boring and she is feeling lonely and old.... until 34 year old ex-cop Tony moves in next door and the sparks fly! tony is everything a woman would want in a man. He is sexy, loves animals and doesn't care that Maggie is older than him. Maggie has a big problem with being almost 10 years older than he is and it gets annoying because that is the only realy thing keeping them apart.
The chemistry between the two is practically scorching and Maggie's daughter Kelly is a mother's dream. There are mainy other secondary characters that also makes this book a fun read. You can find it on any on-line auction because it is out of print. Buy it!!
