Sex and the Widow Miles gives us a story about how just being over 40 (or 50) doesn't mean that life, and love, and sex aren't over either. Julie's grief over her husband's death a year before is believable, as is her being pushed into getting away from home to get her to begin living her own life again.Finding that indeed, she is still alive, as is her libido, and that her interest is turned toward a younger man comes as a shock to her. Her feelings and reactions are believable and so fun to read about!When she finds herself having to deal with discovered secrets, she does what I would have done. Watching her continuing evolution, both in the face of what she discovers and her growing feelings for Will, kept me glued to my iPhone for hours.I'm so glad Nan Reinhardt is writing about mature heroines. We need books about our experiences and lives, too. Tired of reading so many books about 20-somethings or naive 30-somethings, reading Nan's books is refreshing and compelling. I can't wait to read her next books. Nan, please hurry!
