Ooooh, this was such a fun story! An older couple at opposite ends of the social spectrum find a sweet love and a second chance for real happiness. I smiled through the entire  book, and now I want to cuss like an F'N sailor thanks to Tom!! :-)Tom Jenkins is an anti-social 62-year old widower with a foul mouth and a pension for solitude, beer, cigarettes, and working in his vegetable garden. He was been bamboozled into hosting Thanksgiving dinner this year, and to make matters worse his daughter-in-law's up-tight mom, Beverly Anderson, is showing up a few days early to prepare the [bleep] dinner.Beverly Anderson is a pearl-clutching 59-year old widow who loves social clubs, flower gardens, and organization. This year, she is in charge of making Thanksgiving dinner at Tom's house. Will there be enough wine to get through it?Surprisingly, nothing goes as planned. The crazy neighbors invade, the dinner preparations are late, the garden gnome is missing, and Tom says Thanksgiving dinner will be served on paper plates! GASP! But good things happen too. And as these two find common bonds relaxing in the garden or on the porch steps, Bev learns to loosen up and live in the moment while Tom finds a soft spot he didn't know he had.This was such a sweet and sexy (yes, I said sexy!) romance. I have seen older couple romances as secondary characters in many books, but I can't recall any book where they were the main couple. I hope this author starts a new trend and we get more books like this, as I found it so enjoyable.Oh, and the debate over who wins? Lets call this one a tie. They both win! :-)
