Review: Midlife Crisis: another romance for the over 40 (Sexy Silver Foxes Series Book 2) by L.B. Dunbar

Midlife Crisis: another romance for the over 40 by L.B. Dunbar
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Enjoyable Romance for the Over 40s

This the second book in the series, but can be read as a standalone.

Midge is 40, divorced with three sons. To help her son raise funds for a Music Therapy School she agrees to organise a 5k walk. As a result she meets Edie (from the first book in the series) and they become friends. She is invited to a party where she meets Hank.

Hank used to be in a rock band with Tommy, Edie’s husband but they haven’t seen each other in 9 years. Hank had a drink problem, but is now sober, living in his brother’s house and working in the family classic car garage.

Hank and Midge click, but circumstances send them on their separate ways. Both Hank and Midge have hang ups from their previous relationships, but Hank’s seem more serious.

I like both Hank and Midge and I liked the way they worked through their problems and miscommunications. They both had issues and they needed to be understanding of each other when they arose.

I liked the idea of this book. Hank was a successful musician, with a mansion and money in the bank and it all disappeared because he lived too hard. I imagine it’s common story, but it’s not one that’s often covered in rock romance books. This one is about how you pick yourself up after the success has gone and the lifestyle has destroyed you.

Both main characters were interesting and multi-dimensional. I enjoyed learning about them and their lives before they met. I liked their chemistry and their rapport. I really liked how Hank was with Midge’s sons. He treated them with respect. It was an important part of the story, as it should be when children are involved with someone you fall in love with.

I really am enjoying this series, that deals with mature individuals, who have life experiences, but who aren’t averse to finding love once more, even if they thought it would never happen for them again.

I will definitely be reading more of this author’s work.
