Lavinia Lewis' Improves with Age is a great, short love story about moving on and finding love again after tragedy.Reece Watkins lost his long-time partner to a heart attack. Trying to deal with the loss of the man he loved, he moves back to his hometown in Montana. He buys an old farm-house, thinking he'd have time to renovate when, during the first rain, he finds a leaking roof.Enter Nick Kenison.Nick was the star of the high school football team when the two men were young. Reece would never have believed Nick was gay then. Now divorced and a father, Nick is ready to find true love and thinks Reece just might be that man.Reece has a lot to deal with. Panic attacks, grief, self-esteem...you'd think he was a mess but Nick makes him realize there's absolutely nothing wrong with him. Once Reece finds acceptance with Nick, his whole outlook begins to change.This is one of those books that makes an older, single person believe love can still be found. Just because you reach a certain age, or lose a loved one, doesn't mean love can't be found a second-time around.My only complaint? I wish the book had been longer! Lavinia Lewis does romance so well!!Review originally appeared at Mrs Condit & Friends Read Books.
