If you want to know who was the biggest Mid-Life Love fan it was ME!I LOVED, LOVED, LOVED, every second of the first book, so you can imagine how anxiously and eagerly I have been waiting for this one!Did I LOVE Mid Life Love: At Last as much as book one? HELL YES I DID!Claire and Jonathon are back and preparing for their wedding in this instalment and what a ride it is.I thought Claire grew so much from the last book. She is no longer worried about the age difference between them and fully embraces the love that Jonathon has for her. She surprised me quite a few times through out the story both in good and not so good ways.I loved Claire's gift to Jonathon on their anniversary.... who knew she was secretly taking erotic dance lessons and would put on a show for her man. And let me tell you the hunger and passion shown as a result of her performance had my kindle steaming up.The way she handled the return of her cheating ex-husband Ryan both surprised me and made me proud. While I thought that her hate for him had seemingly grown since book one, it was totally understandable given the reason for his return but she showed strength standing up to him. I couldn't believe the scene in the toilet after what he did to her or his request and vision of the future... score one for Jonathon and the way he put a stop to that.Only one thing really annoyed me about Claire and that was the way she behaved about the wedding arrangements at times. I know that she had a backyard wedding the first time round and she wanted the fairy-tale this time but I really thought that she was over the top and took some things a bit too far. Thank goodness the delectable Jonathon was there to rein her in.And oh Jonathon..... How I love this man! He is sexy as all hell, wealthy, honest, protective, dominant and all man! The deep love and devotion he has for Claire, the way he treats her and cherishes her is completely amazing. I fell in love with Jonathon again in this book and when you read it you will understand why.There were quite a few scenes that I found funny in the story, the pre-marriage counselling taking top spot. It was ridiculous and hilarious, and I loved the way Jonathon played it up.The bachelorette party was epic! Seriously..... A week long event in a tropical paradise, resulting in a sex club scene that was completely unexpected.... definitely one to remember.So while yes, Claire and Jonathon's story could have ended after book one and I would have been completely happy, the continuation of their story was fantastic and I truly loved it! Whitney did a great job on this sequel.P.S The sneak peak at the end of Hailey and Corey's story has me absolutely peeing my pants in anticipation of what's to come. Get writing Whitney... I want it their story now!
