Gibson by Mia MaloneMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Mature Motorcycle Mountain Men
Charlene (Lee) had a marriage that fell apart, a body that was letting her down and job she wasn’t really enjoying, so she moved to the mountains and settled in a small town, in a tiny cabin. She took up yoga, spent time outdoors and started to look and feel better about herself and her life again. So she decided to actually start living in her small town and started talking to people. One of the first women she spoke to, Jenny, ran the diner and desperately needed the help of someone with Lee’s skills in cake decorating (rusty but better than Jenny’s).
Gibson is 55 with two failed marriages, three grown sons and a really cool dog. He retired from Chicago PD and moved back home after all the cases got too much. He now practices his carpentry skills for rich folks buying in the mountains for his friend Paddy’s construction company, when he is needed. When Gibson spots Lee with Jenny, his friend’s sister, he is instantly smitten in a way he’s never before in his life experienced and spends some time trying to devise a way around her moratorium on relationships.
I really enjoyed this book. I loved that the characters were all mature, had histories, previous relationships and kids. I loved they had bodies that were slowing down but hadn’t stopped by a long shot, that they had sex and gossiped with their friends about it. I liked that there was an incredibly tight group of friends who’d known each other their whole lives that lived in a wider community that all knew each other.
There were lots of additional things I loved about this book that revolve around plot and humour and general sexiness. I will definitely be reading the next book in the series, because I’m very intrigued about the lovely Paddy.
