Whomever said it was all downhill after 40 were most definitely wrong. For Maggie Lynch, divorced at 42, life was just taking her in a different direction. The only thing missing was a little romance, but she was in no rush.Bumping into Jeremy Dawson at the supermarket of all places, was a huge surprise… and it changed everything. He’d been her first crush and her first heartbreak. Jeremy had … Jeremy had asked her out in high school, but she’d been too shy and awkward to accept.
Now, 20-odd years later here he was again… and single. Luckily, so was Maggie. However, now she’s older and wiser and no longer afraid to go after what she wants.
Jeremy is about to be blindsided by the older and more confident Maggie Lynch.

You know those kinds of books that you read slowly because you don’t want it to end but you think about it when you stop? This is one of those books. Maggie is 42 years old and is feeling a bit frumpy so she joins yoga class where she meets the rest of the After the Ink Dries Club and they are a hoot. When Maggie gets a divorce they support her the entire time but they don’t let her wallow long they sign her up for a singles night, where she meets Jerry a guy from school but her one regret. As the story unfolds you learn the history of Maggie and Jerry how they got to where they are but even if they start something up Maggie knows it’s temporary but Jerry isn’t so sure of that. The author says there is five books in the series each as a standalone but I can’t wait to read what she comes up with next.
This book was so funny! I especially liked how all the ladies met and formed their group. Maggie is most definitely not looking for love again when she finds her husband cheating with another man of all things. The other ladies throw out a bet when the boy she loved years ago comes back into town and they run into each other. The ladies keep the humor going and Maggie has a few hang ups but it all ends well. I think the narrator did an awesome job with all the emotions and different voices for the individuals in the story.
When Maggie is blindsided by her husband she knows she has had enough. Then on her 42nd birthday she gets her divorce papers and meets the boy from high school that she never forgot. When Jeremy “Jerry” runs into the one woman that was his biggest regret, he knows that he must make it happen for them again but there are ex’s, daughters, and randy dogs. I loved loved loved this book so much!!! Such a quick read because I couldn’t do anything until I finished it. I can’t wait for more of this series, such an amazing start. Highly recommended.
loved listening to Nigel Kingsward.. that voice. Smokie , Smooth. perfect.
Wow, just wow. l feel in live with each and every character. Maggie and Jerry.. I want a Jerry.
Maggie and Jerry had a moment in the last year of school, in the library…
Maggie just finished her divorce after finding out her husband is gay.
It is now 20 plus years since Maggie and Jerry have met. The heat and warmth is still there.
I don’t want to give to much away… but let’s say Jerry has set his cap on Maggie and ohh the steam from them both.
We also meet some great secondary characters. Who had me laughing out loud.
The humour, heartache, sexy scenes. Brilliant.
I need the next book.
Highly recommended.
