Book Provided by author for review purposes on my blog from which this is excerpted. No remuneration was exchanged and all opinions presented herein are my own except as noted.I've needed a heroine my own age. I am not a "new" adult. Nor am I under 35 and it's about time publishers realized that  women and men over forty-five are not dead from the neck down. I know I’m not and I am tired of heroines of the advanced age of thirty-two crying about their wrinkles and sagging skin. Oh, Boo Hoo.So, Yay! a series featuring women of a certain age. And a capable, mature, if slightly flummoxed by her circumstances woman. Okay, it’s a little irritating that she is a model and had the perfect life. It’s really a little too Stepford that she got up before her husband every day and did her makeup then got back into bed. *Snort*But it is great how anger pushes this woman out of a frozen state of grief so she can move on. The secret she learns is terrible, but she does something that I doubt I could, she doesn’t let learning it ruin her life.  It also brought up other things to consider that could be spoilerish so I will let you find them yourself.Mostly this is a journey to the next part of Julie’s life. She gets some great stops along the way and one of them is pretty darn hot. Of course she finds a great guy — a really great, hot guy.If you’re like me (older than most fictional heroines) and your looking for a love story you can relate to then I recommend this to you.
