She’s thirty-two. He’s fifty. Their heads say no. But their hearts say yes.
All Carly Matthews ever wanted was to find a love that would span a lifetime. But having once stared cancer in the face, a lifetime was something Carly feared she might never have. Living in the small town of Willow Oaks, where everyone knows everyone, made it nearly impossible to meet the one. That all changes, however, … changes, however, when she connects with NYJedi007 through the new dating site, Love Is Blind.
Scarred by the loss of his first love and the disdain of his father, Mick Myers left home as a young teenager. Now fifty and a successful, self-made property developer, Mick longs for someone to love and to share his empty life with. Determined, he tries a new back-to-basics dating site that follows three key rules: No photos, no real names, and communication by email/chat only.
After exchanging countless messages with WillowCup717, Mick is convinced he has met his soulmate. But when they finally meet, Mick is faced with two problems: 1- She’s from Willow Oaks, and 2- He’s eighteen years her senior.
They say love is blind—but can Mick and Carly see past their age difference and find happily ever after in each other?

This is a heartfelt romance between Mick and Carly. The author does a beautiful job bringing this couple together despite their age difference and her medical condition. Their characters are strong and the story flows fluidly with her detailed and descriptive writing. The secondary characters help to bring the story around. Loved and recommend this book.
I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book. All opinions in this review are my own and freely given.
The idea of meeting someone with out seeing her they are so you get to know then without any preconceptions is great and it did remind me of the old pen pal days!! Carly and Mick had in fact liked either from afar but the 18 year age gap had always played on each others mind so they never acted on it, welp that’s all about to change if they both really do care for each other as they have been falling for each over the last 6 months via the dating site Love is Blind. The fact the Carly has a big secret she hasn’t shared with Mick and Mick has away stayed away from Willow Oaks and made it known he wouldn’t live there again as well as what they and others think of them being together. There are plenty of highs and lows, heartache and hope as we see Carly and Mick navigate their potential relationship. I am gutted the series is over but loved all the books and can’t wait to dive into the next series!
Mick and Carly had been online writing each other anonymously for six months and now it was time to meet. He realized she was from his small hometown. When he got there to meet her he chickened out because he was so much older and everyone knew everyone’s business in Willow Oaks. But the journey to Mick and Carly’s HEA was full of heart ache, a little deception and nosey neighbors. Sweet and heartfelt

Carly and Mick fall in love online with no idea of their age difference or the fact that they know each other from the small town, Willow. I loved these characters for their opposites and the way they were unable to deny their feelings for each other. This book is beautiful and will touch your heart.

I loved the idea of Love is Blind where you get to connect with someone just based on their words and not what they look like. Carly connected with her online guy during a time when she was on an emotional rollercoaster dealing with the reoccurrence of breast cancer and thinking she’d never find love, so she can’t wait to meet him. When Mick realizes that Carly is the person he’s been chatting with online he holds back on telling her the truth. Carly goes through a grieving process thinking she’s half a woman who could die from cancer and is unworthy of Mick’s love. Mick has found the woman he’s been waiting his whole life for and is determined to fight for their love. This was emotional romance with strong characters dealing with tough issues like cancer, Mick’s dyslexia and former homelessness, and judgment from everyone about their age differences.
Book five in the A Willow Oaks Novel series an older man/younger woman story. Carly Matthews and Mick Myers will have so much to go through with everything that happens to Carly.

Carley and Mick have both been searching for their soul mate and turn to a dating app that does not allow any real names or pictures. They connect and talk online for six months before meeting and they are in for a shock to find they are both from the same small town of Willow Oaks and another is that is is eighteen years older. Mick left his small town years ago with the love of his life that did not turn out so well and also because he and his father were at odds and is not sure that he wants to return there. This is a sweet romance two people who are far apart in age but are perfect for each other.
This was a beautiful story about a beautiful couple. The story was so touching, emotional, inspirational, as well as, romantic. It was fun to see how Carly and Mick would handle the eighteen year gap between their ages. They both had issues that needed to be resolved before they could freely give their love to each other. I really liked how Mack was there every day for Carly even though she refused to see him. His actions showed her that his love was indeed timeless. I now need to read the other books in this series! I received an advance copy of this book and I willingly chose to write an honest review.
I generally shy away from huge age difference books, simply because in the real world I’m not sure how I feel about them, however, this one was really good. It was a great mixture of friends and internet dating and age difference and small town and all of that. The characters were great and I liked seeing all of the previous book’s characters show up. I can’t wait to see what Crosby comes up with next!

Fighting For Love And Life:
By Korkoi –
Mick and Carly has been communicating online for a few months, but weren’t aware they knew each other in the real world. They also had to deal with their feelings for each other, whilst understanding each others personal battles and needs. The author really brought the characters to life on the pages, whilst we watched two damaged hearts learn how to trust and love again, in the midst of the obstacles placed in their path. I couldn’t put the book down once I started reading it and I know you will be recommending it, once you have read it.
