Lee, age early 40's, is divorced from a has been actor who thinks he is god's gift to women. Howard swept her off her feet. A Native American, very hansom actor, who very quickly became a man with a wandering eye and a knack for gambling. After 10 yrs supporting him, she finally divorced Howard, but he still comes around thinking that she would help him out when money was tight.  Lee finally tries to tell him to get lost when he tells her the truth, he never loved her and she was a old dried up good for nothing. So when Mike, the young handy man, sees Howard's truck speeding down the road leaving Lee's home, he knows something is up. Using the excuse to go check up on Lee, Mike drives down to her home. He sees her crying on the doorstep. Howard's comments only serve to lesson her already low self esteem and make her feel even worse about where she is in life. But when she sees the hard bodied younger Mike, she can't help but see him in a new light. She has always thought of him as a kid and this is the 1st time she has had some very dirty thoughts of the man who comes to help her out on the weekend. Mike, just wants to take her in the house and show her how much of a women she truly is. He has lusted after her for a long time and it is getting harder to keep his feeling quiet. So when Mike hurts his hand and Lee has to get up close and personal with him, the tension between the two builds to a level nether can hold back from.Fran Lee brings together a couple, who is maybe not the average couple but who can deny that type of chemistry. I liked the story for several reasons. One was I loved the fact Lee is blogging on a cougar website. As a blogger myself, I loved it.  It is basically about just getting the courage to go after what you want. The chemistry between the two main characters is very well done and will make your toes curl. The little drops of Lee looking up steamy romances from Elloras Cave, was funny and for me and I can relate!  The only issue I had, was they fact Lee seems to organism at a drop of a hat in the sex scenes. lol Not sure weather to be jealous or just wishful thinking.. Over all a cute short book. Well worth reading exceptionally with the little bit of danger thrown in there as well. Thanks for the good read Fran!Complimentary book given for a free review.
