Starting Over by Mia MaloneMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Wonderful Characters
I’d probably give this book 4.5 ⭐️ if I could.
I love Mia Malone’s books. They are warm, funny and real. The characters are so engaging I want to sit in a pub and have a drink with them, while we banter about people we know. Her books feel like a sit down with old friends who have no inhibitions and truckloads of wit.
This book is about Tony, the president of Cascadia MC, and Rosie, a woman who was Eye’s boss, both in their 50s. We meet Rosie when she comes into The Roadhouse to deliver some books for Eye as she has resigned. After the break up of her very bland marriage, Rosie is sick and tired of her life. She is lonely, with her daughters moved away and living their lives, and stifled and wants something more. She doesn’t know what, but she knows what she has isn’t cutting it for her.
When Rosie and Tony meet, Tony is so attracted to Rosie that he completely messes up and really insults her, however, Rosie does make friends with Addie, so they are brought into each other’s orbit again. After many apologies, a very stealthy and slow courtship ensues.
As I already said above, this book is wonderfully real. There are issues with friends and family, their history is painfully revealed and lusty adventures are had. This is another thing I like about this author’s work, she shows over 40s having a fun and active sex life that may not involve a dungeon or a sex swing but still is pretty adventurous.
The plot isn’t complex, but it’s so well written and the characters just wriggle under my skin so much I’ve had to give it a higher rating than I give most MC books. You will smile, laugh and feel sad for the pain the characters feel and be fully immersed in the lives they lead during the course of the book. I definitely want to read the next book when it comes out. I’m betting it’s about Emma!
